Description

Fuel degradation delayed neutron sniffer
Technical field
The invention belongs to the neutron detection technical field, be specifically related to a kind of delayed neutron sniffer that fuel element failure is used of surveying.
Background technology
No matter presurized water reactor still is a fast neutron increment heap, and the detection of fuel element failure all is a problem that receives much concern.Usually; What the presurized water reactor fuel element rupture detection used is to sob the suction detection method; Promptly detect the tightness of fuel assembly, its principle is through isolating fuel assembly to be detected, improving the interior pressure (heating) of fuel or the external pressure of reduction fuel; Accelerate fission product and outwards discharge, whether exist to survey fission product through the involucrum of burst slug.In addition, Chinese patent 200610087597.3 discloses another kind of burst slug position detection method, promptly monitors the gamma dose variation tendency between dump chest in real time, judges whether to meet characteristic curve, meets characteristic curve, shows that then breakage has taken place burst slug.Chinese patent 85105572 also discloses a kind of method of discerning damaged reactor components; This method is to be put into reactor components inside to solid mark material; Particularly fuel element is inner; Under the irradiation of neutron, that marker material can produce is stable, detectable, can discern and measurable isotope gas.These fuel element failure detection method operation more complicated, required equipment is more.
Whether whether damaged method has been used in the presurized water reactor to utilize delayed neutron to survey fuel element, and this method is that the water in a loop is drawn, damaged with detecting element through the total γ that surveys fission product in the water.But this method can not be used for sodium-cooled fast reactor, because the risk that the sodium in a loop is drawn is very big.
Summary of the invention

Embodiment
Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing technical scheme of the present invention is done further to set forth.
As shown in Figure 1, a kind of sniffer that is used for the sodium-cooled fast reactor fuel element rupture detection is piled the relative fluence rate of delayed neutron in the circuit cools agent sodium through detection reaction, judges the exposed damaged order of severity of fuel element, to guarantee reactor safety.The delayed neutron sniffer is installed in the outside of the heap container relative with main heat exchanger, surveys by the delayed neutron that discharges in the main heat exchanger, i.e. the delayed neutron that discharges of a loop sodium.。
This device comprises several parts such as acquisition station, detector, amplifier and former 4, processor 5, demonstration and alarm terminal 6, connects through cable between the each several part.For guaranteeing that in the state of accident this acquisition station can not cave in and lose efficacy by the too high tygon that causes of Yin Wendu, this acquisition station outside is firm rectangle carbon steel shell 17, and shell 17 tops are provided with top cover 8, are coated with rust protection paint outward, and medial surface is to main heat exchanger.The inboard of shell 17 is provided with the gamma-ray tabular lead shield layer that stops from reactor core, and present embodiment uses 4, is respectively inboard lead shield layer 1a, 1b, 1c, 1d, and its material is Pb-2, and gross thickness is 50~150mm.Neutron detector conduit 3, built-in neutron counter tube 2 are installed in the shell middle part.Neutron counter tube 2 can be BF 3Proportional counter tube can be other neutron detectors also, because of BF 3Proportional counter tube has higher anti-γ ability, and present embodiment adopts BF 3Proportional counter tube.For satisfying redundancy, counter tube conduit 3 can be provided with 1~2, and a BF is respectively placed in 2 of present embodiment designs in it 3Proportional counter tube 2.As shown in Figure 2, near the detector conduit, establish check neutron source conduit 7, in case of necessity neutron source is hung in from neutron source conduit 7, whether the check sniffer is in proper working order.For the delayed neutron of slowing down, establish around detector conduit and the neutron source conduit and be surrounded by the thick high pressure polyethylene delayed neutron slowing down layer 14 of 25~50mm from reactor core one side.In order to subdue the interference of background neutron,, set gradually tabular shielding slowing down layer 10, tabular shielding absorption layer 11,12, tabular lead shield layer 13 at forward and backward, the lateral surface of shell.The tabular shielding absorption layer of present embodiment is two-layer, and one deck is to adopt the thick cadmium plate 12 of 8~15mm to absorb thermal neutron, and another layer is to absorb epithermal neutron with the thick boracic polyethylene board 11 of 20~40mm.The tygon that shields tabular absorption layer 11 usefulness boracics (B) remedies the incomplete absorption of cadmium to epithermal neutron; Because cadmium only has higher absorption cross section to thermal neutron; The absorption cross section of neutron energy cadmium during greater than 0.5ev is obviously not as boron, and the absorption cross section of neutron energy cadmium when 1.5ev has only 1/10 of boron.Tabular slowing down layer 10 adopts 60~100mm thick polyethylene material, and present embodiment adopts the 80mm thick polyethylene.Equally, according to tabular lead shield layer, tabular absorption layer, tabular slowing down layer all are set, its difference is that above shell 17, neutron detector conduit 3 passes top lead shield 9 with neutron source conduit 7 at the upper and lower of shell 17.Below shell 17,, between bottom lead shield and following shielding absorption layer 15, carbon steel back up pad 16 is set for increasing detector bottom support intensity.
Temperature is higher in the reactor pit, and detector is operated in the high-temperature region in the reactor pit, and working temperature is 80 ℃.Amplifier and former 4 are installed in the upper shielding layer of reactor, and working temperature is at 50 ℃.Processor 5, demonstration and alarm terminal 6 etc. are installed in the pulpit.
Obviously, those skilled in the art can carry out various changes and modification to the present invention and not break away from the spirit and scope of the present invention.Like this, belong within the scope of claim of the present invention and equivalent technologies thereof if of the present invention these are revised with modification, then the present invention also is intended to comprise these changes and modification interior.
