The invention provides a test device and method for
fission source item release in an irradiated fuel element, and relates to the technical field of nuclear safety
fission product source item tests. The test device comprises a reaction kettle, a
water circulation system and a pressure stabilizing
system, the
water circulation system comprises a water tank, a make-up pump, a
surge tank and a preheater which are sequentially connected through pipelines, the preheater is communicated with the feeding end of the reaction kettle, the
surge tank is communicated with the discharging end of the reaction kettle, and a
circulating pump is further arranged at the discharging end of the reaction kettle; the pressure stabilizing system comprises a gas
steel cylinder and a filter which are sequentially connected through a pipeline, and the filter is respectively communicated with the pressure stabilizing tank and the reaction kettle; an
ion exchange bypass and a water condensation bypass are further arranged on a connecting pipeline of the pressure stabilizing tank and the reaction kettle, an
ion exchange column is arranged on the
ion exchange bypass, and a condenser is arranged on the water condensation bypass. Dynamic source item tests of radionuclides can be carried out, so that
nuclide release behavior researches of irradiated fuel elements in various element forms can be realized.
