Description
Technical field
The invention belongs to nuclear reactor field, relate in particular to the mensuration of spherical-bed high temperature gas cooled reactor two-zoned-core interface radius.
Background technology
In order to improve the power output of pebble bed reactor, pebble bed core is designed to the layout of two-region, and the center is not for containing the spherical graphite element sphere bed of fuel, and the periphery is the spheric fuel element ball bed of annular, surrounds for fixing graphite reflector all around.Graphite component is packed into by the dress ball hole at graphite nodule bed top, and fuel element is packed into by equally distributed dress ball hole on the circumference in annular fuel ball bed top, forms the two-region pebble bed core of stablizing streamline on whole vertical height.Graphite component and fuel element draw off by the ball hole of unloading of bottom centre.Distinguished through the burnup measurement measurement device by unloading graphite component and the fuel element that the ball hole draws off, more respectively by the dress ball hole at top pack into the graphite nodule bed of center and the fuel sphere bed of annular.
The size of boundary radius is subjected to the influence of top, two districts dress ball speed between graphite nodule bed and the annular fuel ball bed, if the dress ball excessive velocities of center graphite nodule, its boundary radius is just big, otherwise the dress ball speed of center slows down, and its boundary radius just dwindles.Because the friction factor of graphite is temperature variant, than much bigger under air atmosphere, even under the constant condition of two-region dress ball speed, the different atmosphere condition also can be change with boundary radius different operating conditions under under helium atmosphere.Therefore, need in the reactor operation process, be measured,, be kept the radius at stable interface, two-region and stable operating condition to regulate the dress ball speed at top, two districts to two-zoned-core boundary radius.
The notion of spherical-bed high temperature gas cooled reactor two-zoned-core with the carrying out of South Africa ball bed modular reactor plant project, just entered the research of engineering in recent years, did not see article or patent that relevant two-zoned-core interface radius is measured so far as yet.
Summary of the invention
The purpose of this invention is to provide a kind of method and device of measuring reactor core of spherical-bed high-temperature gas-cooled reactor.
The matrix material of graphite nodule and fuel sphere is graphite, and diameter is all 6cm, can not be distinguished with the way of machinery.Therefore, measuring the neutron flux distribution at the reactor core upper surface along the two-zoned-core radial direction is a kind of feasible solution of measuring two-zoned-core boundary radius.Because the high temperature gas cooled reactor reactor core is in very high running temperature, the inlet helium temperature is 250-500 ℃, and the outlet helium temperature is 700-950 ℃, and general neutron detector is difficult to bear so high work.
Method of the present invention is: the mode of utilizing strength to carry, a string detection bead is blown into the top of two-region pebble bed core from the pipe of losing, in reactor core, after the irradiation of neutron certain hour, be activated, utilize air-flow differential will survey bead again and be transported to out-pile, with the gamma-ray measurement device radioactivity of surveying the bead activation is measured one by one, measure two-zoned-core neutron flux radially with this and distribute, determine the radius of two-zoned-core interface.
Advantage of the present invention is:
1. can carry out irradiation to the Flux Distribution of two-zoned-core at any time and measure, determine the interface radius of two-region, the adjusting by two-region dress ball speed keeps the stable geometric arrangement in two-region.
2. simple in structure, maintenance operation is convenient.
3. can carry out irradiation under power surveys.

Measurement mechanism (see figure 1) of the present invention is made up of a string detection bead 1, irradiation section 2, delivery pipe 3, measuring section 4, mistake ball isolation valve 5, draft tube 9, air-flow isolation valve 10, high-pressure air source 11, low-pressure gas source 12, Displacement Measurement mechanism 7, measurement collimation passage 6, measurement mechanism 8 and bell housing 13 etc.
The pipe 3 of losing is a pipe (see figure 1), left end passed through ball isolation valve 5 and linked to each other with irradiation section 2 pipes, right-hand member links to each other with measuring section 4 pipes, measuring section 4 circular tube external walls have ring shielding cover 13, bell housing 13 lower ends are provided with collimation passage 6, and the right-hand member of collimation passage 6 is settled γ measurement mechanism 8, and the bottom of collimation passage 6 is provided with Displacement Measurement device 7 around the outer wall of measuring section 4 pipes, the lower end of measuring section 4 pipes is by air-flow isolation valve 10 and high-pressure air source 11, and low-pressure gas source 12 links to each other.
Measuring process is as follows:
Open high-pressure air source, will survey bead and be blown in the heap, and utilize pressure differential will survey the left end that bead is pressed against irradiation section 2, the location during with assurance irradiation.Open low-pressure gas source behind the irradiation certain hour, to survey bead output out-pile, drop in the Displacement Measurement mechanism 7, survey bead this moment over against measuring collimation passage 6, sniffer 8 can record this radioactive activity intensity of surveying bead, and after measurement finished, traverse measurement displacement mechanism 7 made another bead collimate passage to locating tab assembly, can be measured one by one surveying bead, and the location when guaranteeing to measure.Activity intensity according to a string detection bead of measuring distributes, and in addition the correction of fall time can calculate two-zoned-core neutron flux radially to distribute, and determines the radius at two-zoned-core interface.
Surveying bead is matrix material with graphite or aluminium oxide, and wherein having mixed to be the material of neutron activation, and diameter is 10-50mm.
Above two-zoned-core, irradiation section 2 is horizontally disposed with along diametric(al), is the metal tube of high temperature resistant (allow working temperature 〉=500 ℃).Its medial extremity surpasses interface, two-region 25-50cm at least to the center extension, and medial extremity is welded with a termination, and the center, termination has a through hole, as carrying the gas channel of surveying bead.The pipe 3 of losing passes outside the reactor vessel, be connected with two and cross ball isolation valve 5, survey bead enter in the heap and the process of discharge out-pile in, crossing the ball isolation valve opens, can allow it pass through, close otherwise cross the ball isolation valve, play the effect of first, second road safety isolating valve on a circuit pressure border.Cross the ball isolation valve pipe of losing afterwards, connect a vertical pipe of losing after upwards promoting certain height, the height of this lifting is used for the kinetic energy of absorbing detection bead at course of conveying, speed when the detection bead is peaked approaches zero, the impact when falling into detecting location to reduce the detection bead.
