Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of external physical decontamination devices for nuclear reactors, in particular to an external physical decontamination device for nuclear reactors. Background Art

[0002] At present, most of my country's nuclear reactors are pressurized water reactors, using deionized water as coolant. Most of the equipment, pipelines, and valves in the reactor's primary loop system are metal products. Under the long-term erosion and scouring of the reactor's high-temperature, high-pressure cooling water, the inner surfaces of the equipment, pipelines, and valves in the primary loop system have some peeling to form corrosion products, which are suspended in the coolant and activated by neutrons when the coolant passes through the reactor core activation section, and eventually become activated corrosion products. With the increase in the service life of nuclear reactors, the activated corrosion products in the reactor and the primary loop system continue to accumulate, causing the spatial dose level in the reactor building to increase. At the same time, the deposition of activated corrosion products on the surface of the primary loop equipment will reduce the heat transfer efficiency and equipment performance, and severely damage the sealing surface, resulting in sealing failure. In addition, activated corrosion products will enter the radioactive waste treatment facilities with the discharge and maintenance of reactor radioactive wastewater, causing wastewater facility pollution and equipment failure.
