Simulated gamma radiation source searching training system and searching method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of nuclear radiation monitoring, and particularly relates to a simulated gamma radiation source searching training system and a searching method thereof.
Background
With the development of nuclear science and technology, radioactive sources are widely used in various fields such as science and technology, industry, agriculture, medical treatment, national defense and the like, and the quantity of the radioactive sources rapidly increases at a speed of over ten percent each year. Accidents of radioactive source loss often occur during the development, use, storage and transportation of radioactive sources. The problem that nuclear safety and nuclear accident emergency agencies attach high importance is that lost radioactive sources are searched quickly, panic of people is relieved, and harm of nuclear radiation to the public is reduced. In the searching process of the radioactive source, various factors restrict the use of a vehicle-mounted or airborne nuclear radiation monitoring technology; the monitoring of the nuclear radiation on foot can adapt to various conditions and environments, and is an important means for searching radioactive sources.
In practice, the principle and method for searching for a lost radioactive source by using a nuclear radiation monitor are that when a real radioactive source is placed at a point M, a measurer at the point N holds the nuclear radiation monitor to move forward towards the point M for measurement, the nuclear radiation dose rate displayed on the monitor is gradually increased along with the gradual approach of the measurer to the point M, and when the maximum value measurable by the scene is reached, the position of the radioactive source is the position of the nuclear radiation monitor. The principle and the method are utilized to carry out teaching training on the emergency rescue personnel of the nuclear accident, so that the personnel can know the nuclear accident, know the radioactive source and master the means and the method for measuring the nuclear radiation in the usual teaching training, and the capability of the emergency rescue personnel for searching the radioactive source can be effectively improved.
At present, under the condition of practical teaching and training, a real radioactive source or an electromagnetic radiation source (one type of simulated radioactive source) is generally adopted together with a radiation monitor to carry out radioactive source searching and training on nuclear accident emergency rescue personnel. In the face of a real radioactive source, teaching personnel usually have fear and are unwilling to contact or approach to measurement, and the teaching training is directly influenced; the harm of the electromagnetic radiation source used as a simulated radiation source is far less than that of a real radiation source, but the maintenance and use cost of electromagnetic wave emission equipment is higher, and the electromagnetic radiation also has certain harm to human bodies and does not belong to a completely harmless simulated radiation source.

Detailed Description
The invention is described in further detail below with reference to the figures and the embodiments.
The present embodiment provides a simulated radiation source search training system, which is configured as shown in fig. 2. The simulated radiation instrument comprises a first microcomputer 101, a first global positioning module 102, an alarm display module 103, a first power supply module 104 and a first wireless communication interface 105, the simulated source comprises a second microcomputer 106, a second global positioning module 107, a second power supply module 108 and a second wireless communication interface 109, and the simulated radiation source parameter setting device comprises a simulated radiation source parameter setting module 110, a third power supply module 111 and a third wireless communication interface 112.
The first power supply module 104 provides power for the first microcomputer 101, the first global positioning module 102, the display alarm module 103 and the first wireless communication interface 105, so that long-term operation of the mobile terminal is ensured. The second power module 108 provides power to the second microcomputer 106, the second global positioning module 107 and the second wireless communication interface 109 to ensure long-term operation thereof. The third power module 111 provides power for the simulated radiation source setting module 110 and the third wireless communication interface 112 to ensure long-term operation thereof.
The first global positioning module 102 provides position information for the analog radiometer. The second global positioning module 107 provides position information for the analog source. The only use of the two position information is for calculating the distance between the analog radiometer and the analog source.
The first wireless communication interface 105 and the second wireless communication interface 109 transmit signals in a wireless mode; the second wireless communication interface 109 and the third wireless communication interface 112 transmit signals in a wireless manner.
The steps of the analog source searching method of this embodiment are as follows,
the first step is to store the air kerma constant gamma, the air line attenuation coefficient mu and the earth average radius r of the radioactive nuclide in the microcomputer 101 of the analog nuclear radiation monitor in advance.
In the first step, the method for obtaining the air kerma rate constant Γ of each radionuclide pre-stored in the first microcomputer 101 of the simulated nuclear radiation monitor is as follows: first, the air kerma constant Γ of each radionuclide is manually found from the related manual. Such as cobalt-60, with a kinetic rate constant of beta =8.67 × 10-17(Gy.m2.Bq-1.s-1) Cesium-137, its Γ =2.12 × 10-17(Gy.m2.Bq-1.s-1) Iodine-131, its Γ =1.44 × 10-17(Gy.m2.Bq-1.s-1) Etc. and secondly, releasing the air ratio of each radionuclideThe kinetic energy constant gamma is input into the corresponding memory area of the microcomputer 101 for permanent storage, each gamma has a unique memory address in the memory, when the dosage rate is calculated, the microcomputer 101 determines the memory address of the gamma according to the name of the nuclide, and the gamma is called from the memory by using the address.
In the first step, the method for obtaining the attenuation coefficient μ of the air line of each radionuclide stored in the first microcomputer 101 in advance comprises the following steps: firstly, manually finding out the mass attenuation coefficient mu/rho (rho is the air density) of gamma rays with various energies in the air from a related manual; secondly, because the energy corresponding to the mass attenuation coefficient mu/rho value given by the manual cannot correspond to the energy of most common radionuclides, the mu/rho value corresponding to the energy of each radionuclide is calculated by adopting a linear interpolation method. As given in the manual, the value of the [ mu ]/rho of a certain gamma ray with the energy of 0.6MeV is 0.0804 (cm)2G), a value of 0.0706 (cm) for [ mu ]/rho of a certain gamma ray with an energy of 0.8MeV2In the case of the cesium-137 nuclide,/g), the μ/ρ of the nuclide having a radiation energy greater than 0.6MeV and less than 0.8MeV is not given, and the μ/ρ of the nuclide having a radiation energy of 0.662MeV cannot be found, and the value is 0.0774 only by calculation using linear interpolation; secondly, multiplying the mu/rho value corresponding to each radionuclide energy by rho =0.001293g/cm3Obtaining a mu value (air density); finally, the calculated line attenuation coefficient mu of various common radionuclides in the air is manually input into a corresponding storage area in the first microcomputer 101 to be permanently stored, each mu value has a unique storage address in the memory, and when the dose rate is calculated, the first microcomputer 101 determines the storage address of the mu value according to the nuclide name and uses the address to call the mu value from the memory.
Setting a simulated gamma radiation source, presetting a nuclide name and a radioactivity value as initial parameters of the simulated gamma radiation source in a simulated radiation source parameter setting module 10, sending the initial parameters to a second wireless communication interface 109 through a third wireless communication interface 112, and then transmitting the initial parameters to a second simulated gamma radiation source microcomputer 106 for storage.
In the second step, the nuclides simulating the gamma radioactive source comprise dozens of common radionuclides in nuclear accidents, such as cobalt-60, cesium-137, iodine-131 and the like.
In the second step, the radioactivity A value can be set to any positive number in Bq.
And step three, the first microcomputer 101 of the simulated nuclear radiation monitor sends an inquiry signal to the second wireless communication interface 109 of the simulated gamma radiation source through the first wireless communication interface 105, and after receiving inquiry information of the first microcomputer 101 of the simulated nuclear radiation monitor, the second microcomputer 106 of the simulated gamma radiation source reads positioning information of the second global positioning module 107 and nuclide name and radioactivity information of the simulated gamma radiation source preset in the second microcomputer 106, sends the nuclide name and radioactivity information to the first wireless communication interface 105 through the second wireless communication interface 109, and stores the nuclide name and radioactivity information into the first microcomputer 101 of the simulated nuclear radiation monitor.
And fourthly, the first microcomputer 101 reads longitudes Φ 1 and Φ 2 and latitudes λ 1 and λ 2 where the first global positioning module 102 and the second global positioning module 107 are located, reads the average radius r of the earth in the memory, substitutes the average radius r into a software calculation program written according to the formula (II), calculates and obtains the distance x between the simulated nuclear radiation monitor and the simulated gamma radiation source, and stores the distance x into a specified storage unit in the first microcomputer 101.
Step five, the microcomputer I101 of the simulation nuclear radiation monitor calls a radioactivity activity value A, an air kerma kinetic energy rate constant gamma, an air line attenuation coefficient mu and a distance value x between the simulation gamma radiation source and the simulation nuclear radiation monitor according to the stored nuclide name of the simulation gamma radiation source, and substitutes the values into a software calculation program written according to the formula I to calculate and obtain a dose rate value R at a measuring pointx。
Step six, measuring the dose rate value R at the measuring pointxAnd an alarm display module 103 of the simulation nuclear radiation monitor is sent to display (Gy/h or mGy/h or mu Gy/h), and if the alarm threshold value is exceeded, an audible and visual alarm is given.
Step seven, repeating the steps four to six, when the measuring point and the simulated gamma radiation source are in contactThe distance x is changed, and the dose rate value R at the new measuring point is calculatedxWith dose rate value R at the new measurement pointxThe distance between the new measuring point and the simulated gamma radioactive source is gradually reduced once by increasing once, and the search of the simulated gamma radioactive source is further completed.
In actual radiation source searching scenes, for example, searching scattered nuclear material fragments (radiation sources) or searching hidden radiation sources, the number of the radiation sources may be one or more, and multiple persons need to hold one nuclear radiation monitor for simultaneous searching. Therefore, in order to approach the scene of the actual search radiation source, one or more simulation sources may be set during training and may be distributed in a single point or multiple points. In order to obtain a better teaching and training effect, the simulated radiometer in the embodiment has the same overall dimension, weight, color, measurement and sampling time length, displayed numerical units, over-threshold alarm and operation method as those of the nuclear radiation monitor used in teaching and training. When the searching person holds one analog radiometer to search the analog source in carpet form, several persons may find the same analog source at the same time, or may find different analog sources. In the process of searching for the simulated source, because the indexes of the simulated radiation instrument are completely the same as those of the nuclear radiation monitor used in teaching training, operators cannot perceive the difference between the simulated radiation instrument and the nuclear radiation monitor, and the operator is presented with a scene which is infinitely close to reality and searches for nuclear material fragments or radioactive sources.
