Definitions
- the present invention relates to a process for radioactive decontamination of a steel wall, in particular to a process for radioactive decontamination of a steel wall by chemical pickling. It concerns for example the radioactive decontamination of an internal circuit, a metal wall, a pipe or an apparatus of a reprocessing plant for irradiated nuclear fuels called hereinafter "wall". It particularly concerns the decontamination of an austenitic steel surface which constitutes most of the walls of these factories.
- the present invention also relates to a device for implementing this method.
- This contamination includes a labile radioactive contamination, consisting of Pu 241 , Am, U, 242 ' 244 Cm, 137 Cs, 90 Sr and a particulate radioactive contamination, consisting in particular of ruthenium and insolubles of the following types: cesium phosphomolybdate, phosphate zirconium, zirconium molybdate, plutonium phosphate, mixed zirconium and plutonium molybdate, oxides of Mo, Sb, Al, Fe, colloidal plutonium oxides, etc ...
- radioactive decontamination can be broken down into two major steps: - a first step which aims to eliminating labile contamination and the main deposits adhering to the walls, and - a second step which aims to eliminate on the one hand the particulate contamination fixed on the walls and on the other hand the residual deposits.
- the first stage is a rinsing stage which implements various rinsing sequences which are not corrosive to the wall
- the second stage is an erosive stage which implements corrosive reagents for the wall which are mainly oxidative mixtures of nitric acid / acid. hydrofluoric, nitric acid / cerium nitrate IV, or mixtures including chromic acid, nitric acid and cerium nitrate.
- the nitric acid / hydrofluoric acid mixture is a mixture which has the advantage of attacking refractory contamination deposits such as molybdates or various phosphates, for example of Zr 4+ , Mo0 2 2+ , Pu 4+ , and antimony oxides .
- the oxidant used for corrosion must not be too aggressive. This is why the oxidizing mixture of nitric acid / hydrofluoric acid cannot always be used because it is difficult to control in particular on large developed surfaces.
- the methods of the prior art are intended to treat oxides and not metal walls with 0-valence such as walls made of austenitic steel.
- 0-valence such as walls made of austenitic steel.
- the nature of the alloy to be eroded, or corroded, which in the case of a reprocessing plant is exclusively of austenitic steel and not of the INCONEL (trademark) or INCOLOY (trademark) type means that this chromic acid in the decontaminating solutions of the processes described for the latter is not desirable.
- patent application EP-A-0 174 317 describes a method for decontaminating chromium oxides on the surface of INCONEL steam generators in power plants.
- Ce IV used as an oxidizing agent and ozone is used as an agent for regenerating Cerium IV from Cerium III formed during oxidation.
- This process describes the use as an corrosion fluid of an aqueous solution of nitric acid, chromic acid and cerium nitrate in which ozone has been dissolved. It also recommends using a gas-liquid contactor to dissolve the ozone.
- a regeneration box for Cerium IV is coupled to the steam generator, this box allows regeneration of Cerium IV by injecting ozone until saturation. This is not the case of a reprocessing plant due to the high radiochemical activity ⁇ , ⁇ and ⁇ of the elements to be decontaminated, the inaccessibility of certain cells and the complexity and variety of the elements to be decontaminated.
- the present invention overcomes the aforementioned drawbacks by providing a method for decontaminating a steel wall comprising bringing the wall to be decontaminated into contact with a pickling solution comprising nitric acid and a first iron oxidizing agent, at a suitable temperature, so that the surface of said wall is eroded by oxidation of its metallic constituents such as Fe °, Cr °, Ni 0 , Mn ° which it contains, said setting in contact being carried out with a direct introduction, continuously, into the pickling solution, of a gas comprising a second oxidizing agent so as to oxidize, at least in part, continuously, the first oxidizing agent reduced by the oxidation of the metallic constituents of steel.
- the first agent for oxidizing the metallic constituents of steel is reduced when it oxidizes the metallic constituents of the steel wall and it is regenerated to continuous by the second oxidizing agent, - ⁇ . by oxidation.
- the first oxidizing agent is therefore chosen so as to be able to oxidize metallic constituents of the steel wall
- the second oxidizing agent is chosen so as to be able to oxidize the first oxidizing agent reduced by the oxidation of metallic constituents of steel to regenerate it.
- the first oxidizing agent can be chosen from CelV, Ag 2+ , etc.
- the gas comprising the second oxidizing agent can be chosen from a gas comprising ozone.
- the first oxidizing agent can be cerium IV, for example in the form of cerium nitrate IV, and the second oxidizing agent can be a gas comprising ozone.
- the present invention makes it possible, in particular, to eliminate the aforementioned drawbacks relating in particular to the processes of the prior art using cerium.
- the present invention provides a means for regenerating IV cerium continuously throughout the reaction and at constant speed.
- concentration of IV cerium is constantly equal to the optimal value in terms of decontamination.
- the present invention describes a process by which a second oxidizing agent, for example ozone, is dissolved in the pickling solution also called, hereinafter, decontamination solution directly in the element to be decontaminated.
- the process described in the present invention makes it possible to dissolve the second oxidizing agent, for example ozone in., the pickling solution, or decontamination solution, without making any specific modification or arrangement to an installation to be decontaminated.
- the pickling solution can be an aqueous solution comprising nitric acid at a concentration of approximately 0.5 to 5 mol. I “1 and cerium nitrate at a concentration of about 0.001 to 0.1 mol.l " 1 .
- the gas comprising ozone can also comprise at least one gas chosen from oxygen and nitrogen.
- the gas comprising ozone can comprise approximately 1 to 20% of ozone.
- the suitable temperature can be approximately 10 to 80 ° C., for example ambient temperature, for example 25 ° C.
- the steel wall may be a wall of an internal circuit of a plant for reprocessing irradiated nuclear fuels, for example a wall of austenitic steel.
- the ozone introduced into the pickling solution can, for example, be dissolved therein by using two variants of a member which is very common in reprocessing plants and usually used for setting in motion liquid solutions.
- the introduction of ozone into the erosion solution can be carried out by means of two gas-liquid contact members which can be, on the one hand, air- transfer lift, with natural submergence or vacuum, and / or on the other hand, the mixing air-lift.
- the invention can be carried out by injecting gas using any plunging pipe for introducing liquid or gaseous reagent. Due to their use as described in the present invention, these devices play a dual role during decontamination:
- gas comprising the second oxidizing agent for example ozone
- gas for example ozone plays a double role:
- the present invention also provides a device for radioactive decontamination of a steel wall of an internal circuit of a reprocessing plant for irradiated fuel / nuclear according to the method of the present invention, the internal circuit being provided with air.
- the air lift is used both as a means of introducing the gas comprising the second oxidizing agent into the pickling solution comprising the first oxidizing agent, and as a means of homogenization of the pickling solution when this solution comes into contact with the steel wall to be decontaminated.
- the device can also comprise a unit for producing the second oxidizing agent, for example when the first oxidizing agent is cerium IV, the second oxidizing agent can be ozone and l
- the above production set can therefore be an ozone production set.
- This assembly can be a conventional assembly, known to those skilled in the art for the production of ozone.
- the method makes it possible to choose precisely and simply the portion of an installation that one wishes to decontaminate.
- FIG. 1 is an example of an assembly of ozone production and monitoring of the ozone concentration in the process according to one invention
- - Figure 2 is a diagram illustrating the process of the present invention applied to a tank of reprocessing plant for irradiated nuclear fuels.
- the process is completely autonomous and therefore does not require intervention on the decontaminating solution in action on a "process" element.
- the conduct of the process is limited to a possible analytical monitoring of the concentration of corrosion elements by sampling the pickling solution using already existing sampling systems.
- the ozone production system is compact, light and can be easily placed on a mobile support.
- the ozone production device is supplied either with compressed air available in the installation, it may then be necessary to provide on the assembly a device for deoiling and drying the compressed air, or by means of an air bottle. reconstituted or even pure oxygen. It is advisable to add to the device a means of monitoring the ozone concentration at the outlet of the ozonator so as to regulate the smooth running of the process of regenerating Ce ⁇ v .
- the reference 1 indicates an ozone production device, the reference 3 a supply of oxygen or of reconstituted air, the reference 5 of the control valves the reference 7 of the control manometers, the reference 9 an ozonator of the type conventional, the reference 11 of the means for adjusting the flow rate of injected gas, the reference 13 an analyzer and the reference 15 a gas supply pipe comprising ozone to the pickling solution contained in the element to be decontaminated.
- the same ozone production device can therefore be successively used for all of the elements to be decontaminated.
- the ozone production device is under overpressure with respect to the element to be decontaminated, so there is no risk of breaking the containment barriers.
- the excess ozone directly joins the existing vent circuits. Given the low mass flow of ozone and the dilution factor by the ventilation network, this process does not require any device for neutralizing excess ozone.
- CelV is the engine of corrosion, it is it which will exchange electrons with the constituent elements of the alloy to be corroded;
- - ozone is the regenerating agent for CelV because the redox potential of the couple 0 3 , H + / H 2 0, 0 2 is greater than that of the couple Ce ⁇ v / Ce l ⁇ :
- a key parameter in controlling the corrosion rate is the concentration of CelV.
- the initial CelV concentration will be chosen to jointly optimize the corrosion rate and the duration of the operation.
- the present invention therefore makes it possible to control the concentration of Ce IV by in situ oxidation of Ce 111 formed during corrosion by ozone dissolved in the pickling solution.
- the ozone concentration at equilibrium with a nitric solution depends on many parameters, one the temperature can for example be cited: the solubility decreases with temperature; the nitric acid concentration: the solubility decreases slightly with the nitric acid content.
- temperature for example between 10 and 50 ° C. for example, ambient temperature, for example around 25 ° C.
- - concentration of ozone in the gas for example between 1 to 20% by weight.
- the concentration of dissolved ozone can vary between 1 and 20 mg.l "1. Due to the use of just sufficient quantity of cerium with adequate kinetics, the residual corrosion at the end of the operation is reduced: stopping ozone injection means almost immediate stopping of regeneration of CelV and quickly stopping corrosion due to the small amount of CelV present in the medium, on the other hand, the amount of IV cerium present at the stop of the ozone injection is low and known thus, the final monitoring of corrosion is very easy. The corrosion rate can thus be controlled making analytical monitoring easier to implement by 'the set of regular samples and analyzes of corrosion solution samples.
