This invention relates to the field of target box
transportation technology after
heavy water reactor
irradiation. Addressing the problem that existing transportation channels cannot effectively reduce
radiation exposure to personnel during the transportation of radioactive target boxes, this invention provides a target box transportation device after
heavy water reactor
irradiation, comprising a transportation
pipe, a shielded transfer container, and a
conveyor belt. A negative pressure is established within the transportation
pipe to draw the target box into a vertical section. A separator is installed on the vertical section of the transportation
pipe to allow the target boxes to enter the shielded transfer container one by one within a shielded box. The shielded transfer container is transported via the
conveyor belt. Furthermore, this invention also provides a method for transporting target boxes after
heavy water reactor
irradiation, sequentially loading the target boxes from the vertical section into designated positions within the shielded transfer container in the shielded box, and completing
radiation protection treatment of the target boxes within the shielded box. By loading the irradiated target boxes into a shielded working box, compared to containerized transport, the
dose rate in the operation and maintenance area can be reduced from 2 mSv / h to 25 μV / h, significantly reducing the
dose level for operators.
