Description
The present invention relates to a kind of device that utilizes neutron leakage compensation principle of absorption to measure neutron assimilate concentration in the water, being mainly used in the on-line measurement of B solution concentration in light water coolant of nuclear power station, is the device of boron concentration in the two pass neutron leakage compensation absorptiometry water specifically.
In the nuclear power station light-water reactor, extensively utilize in primary coolant, to add the compensation control that boron comes realization response, flatten heap power and increase burnup.In addition, when reactor shut down, also adopt to add boron and make the active region remain on subcritical state for a long time.For guaranteeing the safety of reactor, need definite boron amount that adds in primary coolant.Usually use neutron absorption boron table comes the boron content in the continuous coverage primary cooling water.No. 3597613 patent documentations of the U.S. disclose the method and the device (seeing United States Patent 3597613 Meth-od of measuring boron concentration in water by neutron ab-sorption) thereof of boron concentration in a kind of neutron absorptiometry water, this device is provided with a light-water bucket, in the bucket fast neutron emitter and a melt-boron ring are arranged, there is a thermal neutron detector at the melt-boron ring center.Fast neutron is by the light-water thermalization in the light-water bucket, thermal neutron is guided into boron water, and boron absorbs a part of neutron, and another part neutron passes boron water, thermal neutron detector is surveyed and not to be absorbed by boron water and pass that part of neutron of boron water, measures the concentration of boron water with the neutron counting that measures.But because thermal neutron detector is only surveyed the residue neutron that passes boron water, and do not consider leakage neutron, therefore influenced the accuracy of measuring.Be big melt-boron ring because of what use simultaneously, therefore not only linear measurement range is little, and under small flow rate, it is slow that B solution varies frequency, can not in time follow the tracks of the variation of a water boron of reactor concentration.In addition, there is strong γ radiation in big melt-boron ring, and this can influence thermal neutron detector works reliably, also is unfavorable for biological protection.
The objective of the invention is for the light water reactor nuclear power station provide a kind of accuracy of measurement height, linear measurement range big, vary boron concentration on-line measurement device in fast, the safe and reliable light water coolant of frequency, i.e. the device of boron concentration in the two pass neutron leakage compensation absorptiometry water.
Measurement mechanism provided by the invention comprises a light-water bucket that thermostatted water is housed, the center of light-water bucket is provided with the source capsule of adorning an isotropic neutron source in one, source capsule is peripherally equipped with an energy by the online calibration loop of Long-distance Control lifting, two melt-boron rings are installed in the both sides of source capsule and online calibration loop symmetrically, two thermal neutron detectors lay respectively at the center of two melt-boron rings, and identical with two respectively automatic measured data treatment circuit system is continuous, by serpentine heat exchanger, well heater, the fibrous constant temperature system of temperature control probe and heat-protecting glass makes measured boron water maintain temperature constant state.The fast neutron of neutron source emission slowing down in light-water forms a fixing thermal neutron field, a thermal neutron part that enters melt-boron ring is absorbed by boron, another part residue neutron passes boron water, in measurement, find, thermal neutron detector not only can measure the residue neutron that passes melt-boron ring, but also can measure from melt-boron ring up and down two ends thermal neutron detector patchhole leak the neutron that enters thermal neutron detector.The leakage neutron amount is relevant with the height of melt-boron ring, and the height that changes melt-boron ring is regulated the leakage neutron amount.In boron concentration was the scope of 0～6000PPm, tested boron concentration C comprised residue neutron and leakage neutron with the neutron number N(that measures) there is a good inverse relation, that is:
C＝ (b（No-N）)/(N) ＝aN
-1-b
No and N are illustrated respectively in the neutron counting that measures under zero boron concentration and the C boron concentration in the formula, and b is the systematic parameter of measurement mechanism, utilize the boron water of pure water and concentration known to adjust No respectively and demarcate the b value.Select the melt-boron ring of certain altitude, adjust the neutron leakage amount, utilize leakage neutron to count compensation measurement, so just enlarged measurement range, improved the accuracy of measuring.Substitute a big melt-boron ring with two little melt-boron rings, under the little situation of boron rate of flow of water, it is fast that boron water varies frequency, reduced the retardation time of measuring.The water sample that uses two melt-boron rings can carry out two boron concentration is simultaneously measured or the boron water concentration of the melt-boron ring of two differing heights is compared measurement, and this has not only enlarged purposes, and has improved the reliability of measured value.Owing to have strong gamma activity in the primary cooling water of reactor, adopt little melt-boron ring, can keep gamma activity quite little, thereby thermal neutron detector can be worked in lower gamma radiation field reliably, also help biological protection simultaneously.Maybe may break down owing to there is drift in measuring system, adopt the online calibration loop of the known boron equivalent that an energy lifting is installed outside source capsule to carry out online scale inspection, further improve measuring reliability.The automatic measured data treatment circuit system of two measuring channels handles and demonstrates the PPm value of measured boron concentration to measurement data.
Compared with prior art, the present invention has following good effect:
This measurement mechanism utilizes neutron leakage compensation principle of absorption to measure boron concentration in the water, because there is a good inverse relation in measured boron concentration with the neutron number that measures, has enlarged measurement range, has improved the accuracy of measuring.Adopt little melt-boron ring, it is fast that B solution varies frequency, reduced the retardation time of measuring, and in addition, little melt-boron ring has lower γ radiation, not only makes the neutron detector reliable operation, and is convenient to biological protection.Adopt in addition two melt-boron rings can carry out simultaneously two boron concentration water sample measurement or the boron water concentration of two diverse locations compared measurement, enlarged purposes.Use the big boron equivalent calibration loop of a Long-distance Control lifting, can carry out the online scale inspection of two pass simultaneously, further improved measuring reliability.
In addition, the present invention is not only applicable to the measurement of light-water boron concentration, can be used for the content measurement of uranium, boron, cadmium, samarium and gadolinium in ore fluid or the compound solution yet.
