Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of protective suit devices, in particular to a personnel protective suit that can simultaneously prevent nuclear radiation damage and sodium chemical damage. Background Art
[0002] Fast reactors are the second step in China's three-step strategy for nuclear energy, namely "thermal reactors - fast reactors - fusion reactors". At present, China has designed and built the sodium-cooled fast neutron reactor China Experimental Fast Reactor (CEFR) and China Demonstration Fast Reactor (CFR600). Due to its extremely active chemical properties, when high-temperature sodium leaks, it will react violently with oxygen and water in the air and burn, releasing a large amount of heat and sodium aerosol. In particular, the leakage of radioactive sodium in the primary circuit will also cause a significant increase in the radioactive dose level in the accident area. The heat released by the radioactive sodium fire may cause high-temperature damage to the staff in the accident area. The radioactive sodium aerosol released enters the human body through respiration, which will cause chemical and radioactive damage to the human body. The sodium splashed on the human body will burn the human tissue, causing skin burns and eye blindness and other damages.
[0003] At present, the one-piece fully enclosed nuclear radiation protective clothing available on the market can protect against X, α, β, γ rays and radioactive aerosol damage. The main body material is lead rubber or other radiation shielding materials, but its fireproof, flame-retardant and heat-insulating properties are poor, and it cannot meet the personnel protection requirements in the high-temperature environment of sodium leakage sputtering fire. The fire-fighting suits, heat-insulating suits and fireproof and chemical-resistant suits commonly used in non-radioactive sodium-related work scenarios can be fireproof, flame-retardant and heat-insulating to a certain extent, but they do not have the ability to protect against nuclear radiation.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design a personnel protective suit that simultaneously has the functions of preventing nuclear radiation damage and sodium chemical damage for the protection of personnel during the maintenance of radioactive sodium-containing equipment, the emergency response to radioactive sodium fire accidents and the post-accident treatment process.
