Description

High thermal conductivity isothermal body temperature control irradiation device
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of nuclear power materials, and particularly relates to a high-conductivity isothermal body temperature-control irradiation device.
Background
The energy is a foundation stone for social and economic development, the vigorous development of clean energy has important significance for the harmonious development of human and nature, and nuclear energy has the characteristics of cleanness, safety and high efficiency and becomes an important direction for developing clean energy in all countries. The nuclear power material is a key factor for supporting the development of large advanced pressurized water reactors, high-temperature gas cooled reactors and other nuclear power plants, but the nuclear power material is also one of the bottlenecks which restrict the development of nuclear power technology at present. With the deepening of autonomous work of nuclear power in China, the irradiation influence of nuclear radiation on nuclear power materials needs to be deeply researched.
The irradiation examination test of the nuclear power material is an important link for research and development of the nuclear power material, and the irradiation material performance data obtained through the irradiation test is important data for analyzing and evaluating the irradiation resistance of the nuclear power material and is also a powerful support for establishing an irradiation material performance model and evaluating the safety of a reactor. Research shows that creep, growth and hardening of nuclear power materials in a nuclear radiation environment are not only related to radiation dose of nuclear radiation, but also directly related to reactor radiation temperature, and high temperature can aggravate the problems of creep, growth and hardening and the like of the internal pressure of the materials caused by nuclear radiation. Therefore, the influence of the research temperature of the system on the irradiation performance of the nuclear power material is the key for researching the performance of the nuclear power material, and the research is carried out by firstly providing an irradiation device which can provide reliable and uniform temperature loading for the nuclear power material to be researched.
At present, the devices for providing temperature loading for the irradiation material sample in the reactor mainly comprise the following three devices: the first method is to establish a specific test loop in a reactor, place a material sample to be tested in the test loop, and then heat the nuclear power material to be tested by using fluid with a set temperature in the reactor, but the construction and operation costs of the test loop in the reactor are extremely high, and the irradiation space is limited, so the device is not suitable for most tests; the second is to use an instrumented irradiation device with a heating element, which needs to be arranged in a reactor in a pipeline manner, is extremely inconvenient, and cannot be widely used due to the limitation of reliability factors of devices such as a heater under irradiation conditions; and thirdly, a static irradiation device is used for temperature loading, the static irradiation device is simple in structure and low in use cost, and the static irradiation device is widely applied to nuclear material irradiation examination tests.
The existing static irradiation device is mainly based on the principle that a nuclear power material can generate heat in a nuclear radiation neutron field, an inert gas gap is used as a nuclear material heat-insulating layer, and the temperature of a material sample meets the examination requirement by adjusting the thickness of the inert gas gap or the inert gas component (generally helium or neon), but the method has the following defects: 1) because the neutron absorption cross section and the nuclear heating rate of a nuclear power material irradiation sample are small, the irradiation temperature requirement of some examination test targets is high, and the target irradiation temperature cannot be reached only by the self heating of the material and the inert gas heat insulation layer; 2) for researching the microscopic change processes of creep deformation, growth, hardening and the like of a nuclear power material, the temperature of a nuclear power material sample needs to be controlled to fluctuate within a very small temperature range of about 10 ℃, only an inert gas gap is adopted as a traditional static irradiation device of a heat insulation layer, and due to the fact that the thermal conductivity of the sample is low, the nuclear heating distribution of the sample in the height direction is uneven, the sample is in direct contact with a normal-temperature irradiation tank in the irradiation process, the temperature of the contact part is extremely low, and the temperature difference between different parts of the sample is large due to the factors, and the evaluation of the irradiation performance of the nuclear power material is; 3) the nuclear power material has extremely high sensitivity to the thickness of an air gap, and the irradiation tank of the traditional static irradiation device has the problems of shaking, vibration and the like in the test, so that the position of a nuclear power material sample in the irradiation tank is easy to change, the thickness of a gas insulation layer wrapped around the nuclear power material is inconsistent, and the temperature distribution of the nuclear power material is uneven.
Therefore, an irradiation device is needed, and the irradiation device can provide a reliable and uniform temperature environment for the examination test of nuclear power materials.
