Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for the decontamination of radioactively contaminated surfaces of nuclear installations.
- a nuclear power plant which is hereinafter referred to by way of example
- the surfaces of components of the coolant system are exposed to up to about 350 ° C hot water as a coolant in power operation, even classified as corrosion-free CrNi steels and Ni alloys in some Extent be oxidized.
- an oxide layer is formed, which contains oxygen ions and metal ions.
- metal ions in dissolved form or as a constituent of oxide particles pass from the oxide layer into the cooling water and are transported by it to the reactor pressure vessel in which fuel elements are located. Due to the nuclear reactions taking place in the fuel elements, neutron radiation is generated which converts part of the metal ions into radioactive elements. For example, the nickel of the above-mentioned materials produces radioactive cobalt-58.
- the nuclear reactions taking place in the nuclear fuel give rise to alpha-emitting transuranic substances such as Am-241, for example, which leak into the coolant as oxides due to leaks of the fuel rods that receive the nuclear fuel.
- the radioactive elements are distributed by the circulating cooling water in the primary circuit and deposit on the oxide layer of component surfaces, such as on the surfaces of the tubes of the coolant system again or be incorporated into the oxide layer.
- the radioactive elements With increasing operating time increases the amount of deposited and / or incorporated radioactive nuclides and, accordingly, the radioactive radiation in the environment of the systems and components of the primary circuit. If you want to reduce this, such as in the case of decommissioning of a nuclear power plant, essentially all the contaminated oxide layer must be removed by means of a decontamination measure.
- the removal of the oxide layer on component surfaces is carried out, for example, by bringing the component surfaces into contact with a treatment solution containing an organic acid, in the case of a coolant system this being done by filling it with said solution.
- the organic acid is one which forms water-soluble complex compounds with the metal ions present in the oxide layer.
- the alloy that makes up a component contains chromium.
- an oxide layer present on the component contains hardly soluble chromium-III oxides.
- the surfaces are treated with a strong oxidizing agent such as potassium permanganate or permanganic acid prior to the said acid treatment.
- the spent cleaning solution containing the components of the oxide layer in dissolved form is either evaporated to a residual amount or passed through ion exchangers. In the latter case, the constituents of the oxide layer present in ionic form are retained by the ion exchanger and thus removed from the cleaning solution.
- the ion exchange material loaded with the partially radioactive ionic constituents and the residual amount of the cleaning solution remaining on evaporation are respectively supplied in suitable form to an intermediate or final storage.
- Such a routine such as in the course of maintenance work on the coolant system performed decontamination treatment essentially only gamma radiation emitting nuclides such as Cr-51 and Co-60 are recorded.
- These nuclides are to a large extent, for example incorporated in an oxide layer of a component, in the form of their oxides, which are relatively easily dissolved by the active substances of conventional decontamination solutions, for example of complexing acids.
- the oxides of the transuranic elements, such as the Am-241 already mentioned above, are less soluble than the oxides formed from the metals and their radioactive nuclides.
- oxide particles that are not visible to the naked eye therefore, in comparison with the original oxide layer of the components, enriched with alpha emitters.
- the particles in question only adhere loosely to the component surface, so that they can be wiped off, for example, in the course of a wipe test with a cloth.
- the components of the coolant system to be supplied to a recycling or at least can be handled without complex protective measures.
- the in question adhering to the component surfaces particles can easily peel off and get into the human body via the respiratory tract, which can only be prevented by very complex respiratory protection measures.
- the measured at a component Radioactivity with regard to gamma and beta radiation as well as with regard to alpha radiation must therefore remain below specified limits, so that the components are no longer subject to the restrictions of radiation protection.
- a practical problem accompanying any surface decontamination is the further treatment or disposal of the spent decontamination solution containing the radioactive constituents of the detached oxide layer.
- a feasible way is to pass a spent decontamination solution through an ion exchanger to remove charged components contained therein.
- the object underlying the invention is to liberate a surface of radioactive particles with the aid of an active component present in aqueous solution, in such a way that the particles are easily removable from the solution.
- the surfactants mentioned on the one hand in particular metal oxide particles with high efficiency, especially from metallic surfaces can replace and that the particles together with the surfactant an anion exchanger or a mixed-bed ion exchanger, a combination of anion and cation exchanger adhere. If, as is to be striven for, a solution is used which, apart from at least one surfactant, contains no further chemical substances, a particularly simple disposal is ensured after the decontamination has been carried out, since there is no decomposition of the further substances, for example with the aid of UV light, or their removal with the aid of an ion exchanger, which would require an additional amount to be disposed of ion-immersion resin, is required. Further advantageous embodiments are given in the dependent claims.
- the sample material used for the following examples or experiments comes from dismantled components of the primary coolant circuit of a German pressurized water reactor. These are cut coupons made of niobium-stabilized stainless steel, material number 1.4551, which have an oxide layer on their surface, which contains radioactive elements, as usual for components of the coolant system of nuclear power plants. The coupons were pretreated using a standard decontamination procedure.
- the samples were processed on a laboratory scale in borosilicate glasses with a capacity of between 500 ml and 2 l. Samples were suspended in the treatment solution in borosilicate glass hanger, stainless steel 1.4551, stainless steel ANSI 316, or PTFE. The heating to the test temperature was carried out by means of electric heating plates. The temperature was adjusted with contact thermometers and kept constant. The mixing of the solution was carried out by using magnetic or mechanical stirrers.
- the measurement of alpha radiation requires a relatively high effort. In contrast, the determination of the gamma activity is much simpler and faster, and even more precise.
- the gamma-ray-based activity of the americium isotope 241 was therefore recorded as an indicator of the behavior of alpha-emitting actinides or transurans.
- Table 1 compares by way of example the development of the activity of Am-241 determined by gamma radiation detectors on one of the described samples with the activity of the isotopes Pu-240, Cm-242 and Am-241 detected with alpha radiation detectors in the untreated state (No. 1) Decontamination with conventional decontamination methods (No. 2) and with a decontamination method in which an active component according to the invention according to this invention was used in various concentrations (Nos. 3, 4, 5). For a comparison To facilitate the removal of activity, in addition to the measured values obtained in Bq / cm 2 , the percentage values relative to the starting quantity are also shown.
- the minimum temperature for the effectiveness of the active ingredient component or a surfactant thereof from the group consisting of sulfonic acid, phosphonic acid and carboxylic acid is inter alia dependent on the structure (eg length) of the non-polar part of the surfactant and is due to the so-called "Krafft temperature". Below this temperature, the interactions between non-polar parts can not be overcome; the active substance remains in solution as an aggregate. In the case of use octadecylphosphonic acid as active ingredient is the minimum temperature for an effective effect eg 75 ° C. The upper limit is usually dependent on process parameters. For example, it is not desirable for the treatment solution to boil. A common application temperature of decontamination treatments under atmospheric pressure is therefore for example 80-95 ° C or 90-95 ° C.
- the effectiveness of the proposed surfactants also depends on the nature of their polar portion.
- the various proposed drug components are comparable (they have a non-polar part through which they interact with each other, and a polar part through which the molecules of the drug are mutually localized and through which the interaction of the drug with polar, charged or ionized particles or surfaces is made possible)
- there are differences in the chemical properties between different functional groups which are responsible for a different effect also in the area of the decontamination in question here. These differences can be seen by comparing a selection of drug components that have different polar functional groups but identical non-polar parts.
- the effectiveness of the active component is determined not only by its polar, but also by its non-polar part, in particular by its length or chain length.
- the size or length of the non-polar parts influences the interactions between the surfactant molecules due to van der Waals forces, whereas larger non-polar parts produce greater interaction forces with comparable structure.
- this has the consequence that more molecules can be accommodated in the second layer of the bilayer which is not in contact with the surface. This increases The charge density in this layer, which leads to higher interactions with water and higher Coulomb repulsion forces. The mobilization of the activity is thereby favored.
- the inventive method is preferably for the decontamination of components of the coolant system of a nuclear power plant (see attached Fig. 1 ) used.
- a more or less thick oxide layer builds up on the surfaces of such components, which, as already mentioned, is radioactively contaminated.
- the oxide layer is removed as completely as possible.
- the component surfaces are then treated with a solution containing at least one anionic surfactant from the group of sulfonic acids, phosphonic acids, carboxylic acids and their salts. It is particularly noteworthy that, apart from the surfactant, no further chemical additives are required, ie it is preferably carried out with an aqueous solution containing exclusively at least one surfactant from said group.
- the second treatment stage is carried out at a temperature above room temperature, that is above about 25 ° C temperature, but operating below 100 ° C, in order to reduce evaporation and thus a loss of water. Preference is given to operating at temperatures of more than 50 ° C, with the best results being achieved at temperatures of more than 80 ° C.
- the pH of the treatment solution in the second treatment stage is in principle variable. Thus, it is conceivable to accept the pH which results from the surfactant present in the solution. If the surfactant is an acid, it will have a pH in the acidic range to adjust. The best results, especially when using a Phosphonklaivates as a surfactant are achieved in a pH range of 3 to 9.
- the concentration of the active component, ie a surfactant of the type in question in the second treatment solution is 0.1 g / l to 10 g / l. Below 0.1 g / l, a reduction in the alpha contamination of the component surface does not take place to a significant extent. Above 10 g / l, an increase in the decontamination factor is barely to be observed, so that concentrations in excess of the stated value are virtually ineffective. A very good compromise between the amount of surfactant used and the decontamination efficiency is achieved at surfactant concentrations up to 3 g / l.
- the first treatment solution is largely freed from the substances contained in it, ie a decontamination acid used for the purpose of detaching the oxide layer present on a component surface and metal ions originating from the oxide layer.
- a decontamination acid used for the purpose of detaching the oxide layer present on a component surface and metal ions originating from the oxide layer.
- the treatment solution is irradiated with UV light, whereby the acid is decomposed into carbon dioxide and water.
- the in the spent decontamination solution contained metal ions are removed by passing the solution through an ion exchanger.
- Fig. 1 is shown schematically the coolant system of a boiling water reactor. It comprises, in addition to the pressure vessel 1, in which at least in operation a plurality of fuel elements 2 are present, a conduit system 3, which is connected via nozzles 4.5 to the pressure vessel 1, and various internals such as capacitors, the internals in their entirety through the box 6 in Fig. 1 are symbolized.
- a treatment solution which contains, for example, a complex-forming organic acid.
- such an decontamination step is preceded by an oxidation step in order, as already mentioned, to oxidize chromium III present in the oxide layer located on the inner surfaces 7 of the components to form chromium VI.
- an oxidation step in order, as already mentioned, to oxidize chromium III present in the oxide layer located on the inner surfaces 7 of the components to form chromium VI.
- the entire cooling system is filled, otherwise only parts, for example only a portion of the power system, can be treated.
- the resulting treatment solution is dosed with a surfactant, preferably phosphonic acid or phosphonic acid salt, and the second treatment stage is carried out ,
