Description

本発明は、原子炉内に常設されている中性子束検出器の較正を行うための移動式炉心内計装装置およびその方法に関する。   The present invention relates to a mobile in-core instrumentation apparatus and method for calibrating a neutron flux detector permanently installed in a nuclear reactor.

沸騰水型原子炉では、出力運転状態の原子炉内の中性子束を測定するために、炉心の径方向および縦方向に固定式核分裂電離箱型の中性子検出器を複数個設置している。この中性子検出器は、原子炉内で中性子を照射された際、電極に塗布してある核分裂物質が核分裂を起こし、その際に放出される電離物質を電気的信号として測定することによって中性子束を測定するものであり、局所出力領域監視装置(以下、LPRMという)と呼ばれている。また、LPRMの中性子束検出装置はLPRM検出器と呼ばれている。   In a boiling water reactor, in order to measure the neutron flux in the reactor in the power operation state, a plurality of fixed fission ionization chamber type neutron detectors are installed in the radial direction and longitudinal direction of the core. When this neutron detector is irradiated with neutrons in a nuclear reactor, the fission material applied to the electrode undergoes fission, and the ionized material released at that time is measured as an electrical signal to measure the neutron flux. It is to be measured and is called a local output region monitoring device (hereinafter referred to as LPRM). An LPRM neutron flux detector is called an LPRM detector.

中性子検出器の電極に塗布してある核分裂物質量は中性子照射によって消費されるので、中性子検出器の感度は原子炉の運転時間に伴って減少する。
このため、原子炉内のLPRM検出器は、通常時原子炉格納容器の外部に設置されている遮蔽容器内に格納されている校正用中性子検出器を用いて、一定期間毎に感度校正を行うようにしている。この目的で使用される装置が移動式原子炉内中性子測定装置(以下、TIP)であり、TIPの検出部をTIP検出器という。
Since the amount of fission material applied to the electrodes of the neutron detector is consumed by neutron irradiation, the sensitivity of the neutron detector decreases with the operating time of the reactor.
For this reason, the LPRM detector in the reactor calibrates the sensitivity at regular intervals using a calibration neutron detector stored in a shielding vessel installed outside the reactor containment vessel during normal operation. I am doing so. A device used for this purpose is a mobile in-reactor neutron measurement device (hereinafter referred to as TIP), and a TIP detector is referred to as a TIP detector.

原子炉内には、複数個のLPRM検出器と、ケーブルの先端に取付けられたTIP検出器を通すための案内管とを組み合わせた検出器集合体を複数個等間隔に設置している。各案内管の先端は炉心頂に達し、後端は炉心底から原子炉格納容器の外へ突出するように設けられている。TIP検出器は各案内管のうち索引装置で選択された1本の案内管に挿入され、炉心頂まで送り込まれる。しかるのちケーブルの巻取りが行われ、TIP検出器が炉心頂から炉底まで移動(走査)する際に、炉心軸方向の中性子分布を測定する。TIP検出器の位置信号とTIP検出器出力信号とはX−Y記録計に入力されてX−Y座標面上で位置信号に対するTIP検出器出力信号が記録されると共に、プロセス計算機にも入力されて炉心内の分布計算、炉心性能計算に供される。   In the nuclear reactor, a plurality of detector assemblies each including a plurality of LPRM detectors and a guide tube for passing a TIP detector attached to the tip of a cable are installed at equal intervals. The front end of each guide tube reaches the core top, and the rear end is provided so as to protrude out of the reactor containment vessel from the core bottom. The TIP detector is inserted into one guide tube selected by the indexing device among the guide tubes, and sent to the top of the reactor core. Thereafter, the cable is wound up, and when the TIP detector moves (scans) from the core top to the bottom, the neutron distribution in the core axis direction is measured. The position signal of the TIP detector and the output signal of the TIP detector are input to the XY recorder, and the TIP detector output signal for the position signal is recorded on the XY coordinate plane, and also input to the process computer. This is used for core distribution calculation and core performance calculation.

前述した案内管は原子炉格納容器外に突出した部分は、索引装置に接続され、そして索引装置で選択した唯一の案内管にTIP検出器を挿入する構成になっている。1台のTIP検出器は、複数の案内管に順次挿入することによって原子炉全体のLPRM検出器の感度校正を実施するのである。(例えば、特許文献1、2参照)。   The portion of the guide tube that protrudes outside the reactor containment vessel is connected to the index device, and the TIP detector is inserted into the only guide tube selected by the index device. One TIP detector is sequentially inserted into a plurality of guide tubes to perform sensitivity calibration of the LPRM detector of the entire reactor. (For example, refer to Patent Documents 1 and 2).

また、原子力発電プラントには複数台(例えば3台)のTIP検出器があり、どのTIP検出器でも挿入できる共通案内管にて全てのTIP検出器の相対的な感度校正をした上で中性子分布の測定を実施するようにしている。ここで、1台のTIP検出器に対して1台の駆動装置が存在し、3台のTIP検出器をランダムに挿入させるために、TIP制御装置(TCU)にて共通案内管に複数の検出器が挿入されないように監視している(例えば、特許文献3参照)。   In addition, there are multiple (for example, 3) TIP detectors in a nuclear power plant, and the neutron distribution after calibrating the relative sensitivity of all TIP detectors with a common guide tube that can be inserted into any TIP detector. We are trying to measure. Here, there is one drive unit for one TIP detector, and a plurality of detections are made on a common guide tube by a TIP control unit (TCU) in order to randomly insert three TIP detectors. Monitoring is performed so that the device is not inserted (see, for example, Patent Document 3).

一方、沸騰水型原子炉では十字状に組まれた制御棒を炉心に均等に設置しており、前述したLPRM検出器の出力信号を用いて、引抜操作中の制御棒周りの局部的な中性子束の上昇を制御棒引抜監視モニタ(BRM)によって監視している。この制御棒引抜監視モニタには炉心内に設置している全てのLPRM検出器の出力信号を入力している。

On the other hand, in boiling water reactors, crossed control rods are evenly installed in the core, and local neutrons around the control rods during the extraction operation using the output signal of the LPRM detector described above. The rise of the bundle is monitored by a control rod pull-out monitoring monitor (BRM). Output signals of all LPRM detectors installed in the core are input to this control rod pull-out monitoring monitor.

従来の移動式原子炉内中性子測定装置(TIP)では、TIP検出器の駆動制御とTIP検出器信号の測定を別々の装置で行っていたので、検出器が走査している位置での中性子束を正しく測定するためには検出器駆動制御装置における検出器駆動タイミングと検出器信号測定装置における検出器信号の読込タイミングとを高精度で同期させる必要があった。   In a conventional mobile in-reactor neutron measurement device (TIP), the drive control of the TIP detector and the measurement of the TIP detector signal are performed by separate devices, so the neutron flux at the position where the detector is scanning In order to measure correctly, it is necessary to synchronize the detector driving timing in the detector driving control device and the reading timing of the detector signal in the detector signal measuring device with high accuracy.

このため従来では、TIP検出器の原子炉内での移動速度を遅くして、位置信号の読込実行のタイミングと検出器出力信号の読込実行のタイミングとの時間差内でのTIP検出器の移動する距離を少なくすることによってTIP検出器信号の位置精度を確保するようにしていた。   For this reason, conventionally, the moving speed of the TIP detector in the reactor is slowed, and the TIP detector moves within the time difference between the timing of reading the position signal and the timing of reading the detector output signal. The position accuracy of the TIP detector signal was ensured by reducing the distance.

しかしながら、TIP検出器の移動速度を遅くするということは、原子炉全体の中性子検出器の校正を実施するのに長い時間を要するということになり、特に原子炉の起動時には、原子炉出力を段階的に上昇させて各出力段階毎に中性子検出器の校正を実施しているため、1回の中性子検出器の校正に要する時間が原子炉の起動時間に大きく影響していた。   However, slowing the TIP detector moving speed means that it takes a long time to calibrate the neutron detector for the entire reactor, and in particular, at the start-up of the reactor, Since the neutron detector is calibrated at each output stage, the time required for one calibration of the neutron detector has a great influence on the start-up time of the reactor.

本発明の目的は、上記従来技術の課題を解決するためになされたもので、中性子検出器の校正時間を短縮することのできる移動式原子炉内中性子測定装置およびその方法を提供することにある。   SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a mobile in-reactor neutron measuring apparatus and method capable of shortening the calibration time of a neutron detector. .

上記の目的を達成するため、請求項1に係る移動式原子炉内中性子測定装置の発明は、原子炉炉心内に設置された複数の案内管内に移動式中性子束検出器を挿入して移動させることにより前記原子炉の軸方向の中性子束分布を測定するようにした移動式原子炉内中性子測定装置において、前記案内管に前記移動式中性子束検出器を挿入/引抜するために先端に検出器を取付けた検出器ケーブルを巻取り/送り出しを行うモータおよび検出器ケーブルの巻取り/送り出し量を検出して前記案内管内の前記移動式中性子束検出器の位置を検出する検出器位置信号発生器を備えた検出器ケーブル駆動装置と、前記検出器位置信号発生器から出力される検出器位置信号および前記移動式中性子束検出器から出力される検出器出力信号を入力し、検出器出力信号の読込実行時は移動式中性子束検出器の移動を停止し、当該検出器出力信号の読込実行終了後に移動式中性子束検出器を予め定められた長さ分だけ移動するように前記モータに駆動指令を出力する駆動制御/検出器信号測定装置と、を備えたことを特徴とする。   In order to achieve the above object, the invention of a mobile in-reactor neutron measuring apparatus according to claim 1 moves a mobile neutron flux detector inserted into a plurality of guide tubes installed in the reactor core. In the mobile neutron measurement apparatus for measuring the neutron flux distribution in the axial direction of the nuclear reactor, a detector at the tip is used to insert / extract the mobile neutron flux detector into / from the guide tube. And a detector position signal generator for detecting the position of the mobile neutron flux detector in the guide tube by detecting the winding / feeding amount of the detector cable. A detector cable driving device comprising: a detector position signal output from the detector position signal generator; and a detector output signal output from the mobile neutron flux detector; The movement of the mobile neutron flux detector is stopped when the reading of the signal is executed, and the motor is moved so that the mobile neutron flux detector is moved by a predetermined length after the reading execution of the detector output signal is completed. And a drive control / detector signal measuring device that outputs a drive command.

本発明によれば、検出器出力信号の読込実行時は移動式中性子束検出器の移動を停止し、当該検出器出力信号の読込実行終了後に移動式中性子束検出器を移動するように構成したので、移動式中性子束検出器の出力信号読込時点と位置信号読込時点との間に移動式中性子束検出器の移動がなくなり、移動式中性子束検出器信号の位置ずれは発生しなくなる。   According to the present invention, the movement of the mobile neutron flux detector is stopped when the detector output signal is read, and the mobile neutron flux detector is moved after the reading of the detector output signal is completed. Therefore, the movement of the mobile neutron flux detector does not occur between the time when the output signal of the mobile neutron flux detector is read and the time when the position signal is read, and the positional deviation of the mobile neutron flux detector signal does not occur.

以下、本発明に係る移動式原子炉内中性子測定装置の実施例について、図面を参照して説明する。なお、実施例を通じて共通する部分には同一符号を付けて重複した説明は適宜省略する。   Embodiments of the mobile in-reactor neutron measurement apparatus according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

Example 1
FIG. 1 is a system configuration diagram showing Embodiment 1 of a mobile in-reactor neutron measuring apparatus according to the present invention.
In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a pressure vessel of a boiling water reactor, and a detector assembly 3 is installed in the core 2. Although only one detector assembly 3 is shown in FIG. 1, a plurality of detector assemblies 3 are actually installed at equal intervals. Moreover, the detector assembly 3 fixes LPRM detectors 4A, 4B, to 4D at four locations in the vertical direction, that is, from the core top to the core bottom, and is adjacent to the LPRM detectors 4A, 4B, to 4D. A guide tube 5 is provided. In this guide tube 5, a TIP detector 6 for detecting the in-core neutron flux is housed so as to be movable up and down, and this TIP detector 6 is a detector cable 7 having a built-in signal transmission line. And is housed movably between the top of the core, the bottom of the core, and a shielding vessel 11 provided outside the containment vessel 9 described later. Reference numeral 8 denotes an indexing device installed outside the pressure vessel 1. One of the plurality of guide tubes 5 is selected, and the TIP detection is detected at the tip of the selected guide tube 5. This is a device for inserting the detector cable 7 to which the device 6 is attached. This indexing device 8 sequentially inserts one TIP detector 6 into a plurality of guide tubes 5 so that the sensitivity calibration of the neutron detector in the entire reactor can be performed.

TIP検出器6は、中性子束の非測定時には案内管5から引抜かれて、格納容器9の外部に設けられているバルブアッセンブリー10を経て遮蔽容器11内に格納されるようになっている。このバルブアッセンブリー10は本図中1つのブロックとして描いているが、実際には案内管5内のガスをパージする弁や、緊急時に管を切断する切断弁等から構成されており、中性子束の非測定時には閉じるようにしている。   The TIP detector 6 is pulled out from the guide tube 5 when the neutron flux is not measured, and is stored in the shielding container 11 through a valve assembly 10 provided outside the storage container 9. Although this valve assembly 10 is depicted as one block in the figure, it is actually composed of a valve for purging the gas in the guide tube 5, a cutting valve for cutting the tube in an emergency, and the like. It is closed when not measuring.

12は前記検出器ケーブル7を巻取りあるいは送り出しするための検出器ケーブル駆動装置(図中、TIP駆動装置と標記)であって、検出器ケーブル7を巻取るケーブル巻取りリール13と、図示しないクラッチを介してこのケーブル巻取りリール13を駆動するモータ14とを内蔵しており、モータ14の回転方向によって検出器ケーブル7の巻取りあるいは送り出しを行い、案内管5内でのTIP検出器6の移動を制御するように構成されている。   Reference numeral 12 denotes a detector cable driving device (indicated as a TIP driving device in the figure) for winding or feeding the detector cable 7, and a cable take-up reel 13 for winding the detector cable 7 and not shown. A motor 14 that drives the cable take-up reel 13 via a clutch is built in, and the detector cable 7 is taken up or sent out depending on the rotation direction of the motor 14, and the TIP detector 6 in the guide tube 5 is taken up. It is configured to control the movement of.

さらに、検出器ケーブル駆動装置12には、ケーブル巻取りリール13にシンクロ発信器(SY)等の検出器位置信号発生器15を取付けており、この検出器位置信号発生器15によってケーブル巻取りリール13が検出器ケーブル7を巻取った長さに基づいたTIP検出器位置信号15aを出力するように構成されている。   Further, in the detector cable driving device 12, a detector position signal generator 15 such as a synchro transmitter (SY) is attached to the cable take-up reel 13, and the cable take-up reel is detected by the detector position signal generator 15. 13 is configured to output a TIP detector position signal 15a based on the length of the detector cable 7 wound up.

また、TIP検出器6によって検出された炉心内の中性子束は、検出器ケーブル駆動装置12において検出器ケーブル7に内蔵された信号伝送線から検出器出力信号6aとして出力されるように構成されている。   Further, the neutron flux in the core detected by the TIP detector 6 is configured to be output as a detector output signal 6a from a signal transmission line built in the detector cable 7 in the detector cable driving device 12. Yes.

そして、検出器ケーブル駆動装置12から出力されたこれらの検出器出力信号6aおよび検出器位置信号15aは、中央制御室17に設置した駆動制御/検出器信号測定装置(図中、駆動制御/モニタ装置と標記)18を経て、X−Y記録計19に入力して炉心軸方向の位置に対する中性子束の量をX−Y面上に記録する。また、検出器出力信号6aおよび検出器位置信号15aはプロセス計算機20にも入力されて炉心内の分布計算、炉心性能計算に使用される。   The detector output signal 6a and the detector position signal 15a output from the detector cable driving device 12 are supplied to a drive control / detector signal measuring device (drive control / monitor in the figure) installed in the central control room 17. The data is input to an XY recorder 19 through an apparatus 18 and the amount of neutron flux with respect to the position in the core axis direction is recorded on the XY plane. The detector output signal 6a and the detector position signal 15a are also input to the process computer 20 and used for calculation of distribution in the core and calculation of core performance.

図2は前述した駆動制御/検出器信号測定装置18の一例を示すブロック図である。
駆動制御/検出器信号測定装置18は、入出力ポート181、I/O処理部182、検出器位置処理部183、検出器出力処理部184、駆動制御処理部185を備えている。
FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing an example of the drive control / detector signal measuring apparatus 18 described above.
The drive control / detector signal measurement device 18 includes an input / output port 181, an I / O processing unit 182, a detector position processing unit 183, a detector output processing unit 184, and a drive control processing unit 185.

ここで、検出器位置処理部183は入出力ポート181を経て入力した検出器位置信号15aを基に位置信号に対応するデータを演算処理し、検出器出力処理部184は入出力ポート181を経て入力したTIP検出器出力データ6aを基に出力信号に対応するデータを演算処理する。これら、検出器位置処理部183および検出器出力処理部184で処理されたデータは、I/O処理部182によりX−Y記録計19やプロセス計算機20等の外部機器で扱い易い信号に処理されたのち、入出力ポート181を経てX−Y記録計19、プロセス計算機20に入力される。   Here, the detector position processing unit 183 performs arithmetic processing on data corresponding to the position signal based on the detector position signal 15a input through the input / output port 181. The detector output processing unit 184 passes through the input / output port 181. Data corresponding to the output signal is processed based on the input TIP detector output data 6a. The data processed by the detector position processing unit 183 and the detector output processing unit 184 are processed by the I / O processing unit 182 into signals that can be easily handled by external devices such as the XY recorder 19 and the process computer 20. After that, the data is input to the XY recorder 19 and the process computer 20 through the input / output port 181.

図3は本実施例1に係るTIP検出器引抜時の各種信号のタイミングチャートであり、横軸が時間軸である。(a)は縦軸にTIP検出器6の炉心頂から炉心底、索引装置手前までの位置情報を表す位置信号を取っている。位置信号の水平部分はTIP検出器6が移動していない状態を表し、右下がりの傾斜部分がTIP検出器引抜時の状態を表している(なお、図示左端に描いてある右上がりの傾斜部分はTIP検出器送り出し時の状態を表している)。(b)は縦軸に駆動制御モニタ装置18から検出器ケーブル駆動装置12内のモータ14に対する駆動指令をとり、TIP検出器挿入時と引抜時の状態を表している。(c)は縦軸にTIP検出器6が予定した位置(すなわち、検出器信号読込位置)まで移動が終了した時にオン、移動中はオフとなる信号をとっている。そして(d)は縦軸に検出器読込実行時(時間;t)にオンとなる信号をとっている。   FIG. 3 is a timing chart of various signals at the time of pulling out the TIP detector according to the first embodiment, and the horizontal axis is the time axis. In (a), a position signal representing position information from the core top of the TIP detector 6 to the core bottom and before the index device is taken on the vertical axis. The horizontal portion of the position signal represents the state in which the TIP detector 6 is not moving, and the downward sloping portion represents the state when the TIP detector is being pulled out (note that the sloping portion ascending to the right depicted on the left end of the figure). Represents the state when the TIP detector is delivered). (B) is a drive command to the motor 14 in the detector cable drive device 12 from the drive control monitor device 18 on the vertical axis, and represents the state when the TIP detector is inserted and withdrawn. In (c), the vertical axis indicates a signal that is turned on when the movement of the TIP detector 6 to a predetermined position (that is, a detector signal reading position) is completed and turned off during the movement. In (d), the vertical axis represents a signal that is turned on when the detector reading is executed (time; t).

なお、TはTIP検出器6の移動を停止させて中性子束を測定し、信号を読込実行するための時間であり、検出器出力の読込失敗時に再読込が可能なように十分なマージンを見込んだ時間に設定してある。   Note that T is the time for stopping the movement of the TIP detector 6 to measure the neutron flux and reading the signal, and expect a sufficient margin so that it can be read again when reading of the detector output fails. It is set to the time.

以上説明した図3(a)〜図3(d)から明らかなように、駆動制御処理部185はTIP検出器6の測定および信号読込時間中(T)はモータ14に駆動指令を出力しないようにしてTIP検出器6の移動を止めてその位置を保持し、この測定時間(T)中にTIP検出器出力6aの読込実行および位置信号15a読込実行を行い、所定の測定および信号読込時間(T)経過後は直ちにモータ14に対してTIP検出器巻取り指令を出力し、次に予定されている検出器信号読込位置までTIP検出器6を高速度で移動させる。そして、この位置で中性子束を測定し新たなTIP検出器出力6aと位置信号とを駆動制御/検出器信号測定装置18に入力し読込実行を行わせる。以降、TIP検出器6を所定の検出器信号読込位置まで高速度で順次移動させて読込実行を行わせる。   As apparent from FIGS. 3A to 3D described above, the drive control processing unit 185 does not output a drive command to the motor 14 during the measurement and signal reading time (T) of the TIP detector 6. Then, the movement of the TIP detector 6 is stopped and the position thereof is held. During this measurement time (T), the TIP detector output 6a is read and the position signal 15a is read, and a predetermined measurement and signal reading time ( T) Immediately after the lapse of time, a TIP detector winding command is output to the motor 14, and the TIP detector 6 is moved at a high speed to the next scheduled detector signal reading position. Then, the neutron flux is measured at this position, and a new TIP detector output 6a and a position signal are input to the drive control / detector signal measuring device 18 to execute reading. Thereafter, the TIP detector 6 is sequentially moved at a high speed to a predetermined detector signal reading position to perform reading.

以上述べたように、本実施例1による移動式原子炉内中性子測定装置は、1台の駆動制御/検出器信号測定装置18にTIP検出器6の出力信号6aおよび位置信号15aを入力して、所定の時間(T)毎に出力信号6aの読込実行と位置信号15aの読込実行との同期をとって検出ケーブル駆動装置12のモータ14を駆動制御するようにしたので、出力信号6aの読込実行時点と位置信号15aの読込実行時点との間でTIP検出器6の移動がなくなり、両信号の位置ずれは発生しなくなる。   As described above, the mobile reactor neutron measurement apparatus according to the first embodiment inputs the output signal 6a and the position signal 15a of the TIP detector 6 to one drive control / detector signal measurement apparatus 18. Since the motor 14 of the detection cable driving device 12 is driven and controlled in synchronization with the execution of reading the output signal 6a and the execution of reading the position signal 15a every predetermined time (T), the output signal 6a is read. There is no movement of the TIP detector 6 between the execution time and the reading execution time of the position signal 15a, and the positional deviation between the two signals does not occur.

この結果、出力信号、位置信号の読込実行終了後は、TIP検出器6を現在の検出器信号読込位置から次に予定されている検出器信号読込位置まで高速度で移動させることができるので、LPRM検出器4a〜4dの校正時間を従来技術に比べて大幅に短縮することができる。   As a result, after the reading of the output signal and position signal is completed, the TIP detector 6 can be moved at a high speed from the current detector signal reading position to the next scheduled detector signal reading position. The calibration time of the LPRM detectors 4a to 4d can be greatly shortened as compared with the prior art.

本実施例2は、図4および図5で示すように、実施例1におけるX−Y記録計19を廃止し、その替わりに駆動制御/検出器信号測定装置18内にTIP検出器の位置信号とその位置における出力信号とを1対1に対応して記憶する記憶装置186を新たに設けるように構成したものである。

FIG. 4 is a system configuration diagram showing a second embodiment of the mobile in-reactor neutron measurement apparatus according to the present invention, and FIG. 5 is a block configuration diagram of the drive control / detector signal measurement apparatus 18 of the second embodiment. .
As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the second embodiment eliminates the XY recorder 19 in the first embodiment, and replaces the position signal of the TIP detector in the drive control / detector signal measuring device 18 instead. And a storage device 186 for storing the output signals at the positions in a one-to-one correspondence.

しかも、炉心2からTIP検出器6の引抜が完了した後に記憶装置186のテーブルに記録されているデータをまとめてプロセス計算機20に送信し、そのプロセス計算機20の周辺機器(表示装置、記録装置等)21によって炉心軸方向の位置信号15aとその位置に対応するTIP検出信号6aとの関係を表示・記録するように構成したものである。その他の構成は図1および図2の構成と同じなので説明を省略する。   In addition, after the extraction of the TIP detector 6 from the core 2 is completed, the data recorded in the table of the storage device 186 is collectively transmitted to the process computer 20, and peripheral devices (display device, recording device, etc.) of the process computer 20 are transmitted. ) 21 is used to display and record the relationship between the position signal 15a in the core axis direction and the TIP detection signal 6a corresponding to the position signal 15a. The other configuration is the same as the configuration of FIGS.

前述した実施例1では、駆動制御/検出器信号測定装置18はX−Y記録計19のペン移動速度に同期をとって各処理を行う必要があるため、TIP検出器6の引抜速度を速めることはできないが、本実施例2の場合、駆動制御/検出器信号測定装置18はX−Y記録計19のペン移動速度の影響を受けることなく各処理を高速度に行うことができるので、TIP検出器6の引抜き速度を実施例1の場合よりも高速化することができ、その分中性子検出器の校正時間を短縮することが可能となる。   In the first embodiment described above, the drive control / detector signal measuring device 18 needs to perform each process in synchronization with the pen movement speed of the XY recorder 19, so that the pulling speed of the TIP detector 6 is increased. However, in the case of the second embodiment, the drive control / detector signal measuring device 18 can perform each process at a high speed without being affected by the pen moving speed of the XY recorder 19. The drawing speed of the TIP detector 6 can be made faster than that in the first embodiment, and the calibration time of the neutron detector can be shortened accordingly.

図6は本発明に係る移動式原子炉内中性子測定装置の実施例3を示すシステム構成図であり、図7は本実施例3の駆動制御/検出器信号測定装置18のブロック構成図である。
背景技術で述べた移動式原子炉内中性子測定装置の場合、TIP検出器6を連続した一定の低速度で引抜いていたのに対して、上述した実施例1および2ではTIP検出器信号読込実行時は、TIP検出器6の移動を止め、読込実行終了後はTIP検出器6を高速度で引抜くようにしているので、TIP検出器6は案内管5内面を断続的にかつ高速度で摺動する。このため、何度も測定を行っているうちに案内管5内部のTIP検出器信号読込位置に削り粕が溜まり、この削り粕がTIP検出器6の移動の障害になることが懸念される。
(Example 3)
FIG. 6 is a system configuration diagram showing a third embodiment of a mobile in-reactor neutron measuring apparatus according to the present invention, and FIG. 7 is a block configuration diagram of a drive control / detector signal measuring apparatus 18 of the third embodiment. .
In the case of the neutron measuring apparatus in the mobile reactor described in the background art, the TIP detector 6 is pulled out at a continuous constant low speed, whereas in the above-described first and second embodiments, the TIP detector signal is read. At the time of execution, the movement of the TIP detector 6 is stopped, and after completion of reading, the TIP detector 6 is pulled out at a high speed, so that the TIP detector 6 intermittently and high-speeds the inner surface of the guide tube 5. Slide on. For this reason, there is a concern that the shavings accumulate at the TIP detector signal reading position inside the guide tube 5 while the measurement is repeated many times, and this shavings become an obstacle to the movement of the TIP detector 6.

本実施例3はこの点に鑑み、検出器ケーブル駆動装置12のモータ14と図示していないクラッチとの間にトルクセンサー16を設置してケーブルの巻取り時(あるいは送出し時)に要するトルク値16aを検出し、この検出したトルク値16aを駆動制御/検出器信号測定装置18内に新たに設けた検出器位置/トルクセンサー処理部187に入力して監視するように構成したものである。なお、このトルク値16aに関するタイミングチャートは特に図示しないが、TIP検出器6の引抜時(図9(a)の右下がりの期間)に測定され、次の測定・読込実行時間(T)内で、出力信号6a、位置信号15aと共に駆動制御/検出器信号測定装置18内に入力されて読込まれる。   In the third embodiment, in view of this point, a torque sensor 16 is installed between the motor 14 of the detector cable driving device 12 and a clutch (not shown), and the torque required for winding (or sending) the cable. A value 16a is detected, and the detected torque value 16a is input to a detector position / torque sensor processing unit 187 newly provided in the drive control / detector signal measuring device 18 for monitoring. . Although a timing chart relating to the torque value 16a is not particularly shown, it is measured when the TIP detector 6 is pulled out (period of right downward in FIG. 9A), and within the next measurement / reading execution time (T). The signal is inputted into the drive control / detector signal measuring device 18 together with the output signal 6a and the position signal 15a and read.

本実施例3によれば、TIP検出器6の引抜き時(場合によっては挿入時も含む)に測定されたトルク値を予め定めた設定値と比較することにより、測定されたトルク値が設定値よりも大きくなった場合、案内管5に異常(削り粕の詰まり、案内管の変形等)があると判断して警報を出力し、オペレータに注意を喚起すると共に、その異常位置を検出器位置信号から読み取って図示しないCRTまたは液晶等の表示装置で表示することにより案内管5の異常個所を把握することができる。   According to the third embodiment, the measured torque value is compared with a preset set value by comparing the torque value measured when the TIP detector 6 is pulled out (including when inserted) in some cases. If it becomes larger than that, it is judged that there is an abnormality in the guide tube 5 (clogging of shavings, deformation of the guide tube, etc.) and an alarm is output to alert the operator and the abnormal position to the detector position. By reading from the signal and displaying it on a display device such as a CRT or a liquid crystal (not shown), the abnormal portion of the guide tube 5 can be grasped.

案内管5は、一般に原子炉の点検の度に撤去と再敷設とを繰り返している。本実施例3は案内管敷設後のTIP検出器の試走時にトルク値をトルクセンサーによって自動的に測定することができるので、作業員がトルクレンチで測定する場合に比べて大幅に被ばく線量を低減することができる。   In general, the guide tube 5 is repeatedly removed and relaid every time the reactor is inspected. In the third embodiment, since the torque value can be automatically measured by the torque sensor during the trial run of the TIP detector after the guide pipe is laid, the exposure dose is greatly reduced as compared with the case where the operator measures with a torque wrench. can do.

なお、検出器ケーブル駆動装置12にトルクセンサーを設置してトルク値測定するようにした技術は、既に特開2002-71483号公報で開示されているが、トルク値と検出器位置信号との関係を表示し、案内管5の異常個所を特定する機能については開示されていない。   Note that the technique of measuring the torque value by installing a torque sensor in the detector cable drive device 12 has already been disclosed in JP 2002-71483 A, but the relationship between the torque value and the detector position signal Is not disclosed for the function of displaying and indicating an abnormal part of the guide tube 5.

(実施例4)
図8は本発明に係る移動式原子炉内中性子測定装置の実施例4を示すシステム構成図である。
本実施例4の移動式原子炉内中性子測定装置は、検出器ケーブル駆動装置12を複数台(図では2台であるが、2台よりも多い台数でも適用可能である)用意し、この複数台の検出ケーブル駆動装置12を1台の駆動制御/検出器信号測定装置18で切換えて駆動制御するようにしてLPRM検出器の校正時間をさらに短縮させるようにしたものである。
このため、本実施例4の駆動制御/検出器信号測定装置18は、新たに駆動装置選択部188を設けるように構成されている。
Example 4
FIG. 8 is a system configuration diagram showing Embodiment 4 of the mobile in-reactor neutron measurement apparatus according to the present invention.
The mobile nuclear reactor neutron measurement apparatus of the fourth embodiment prepares a plurality of detector cable drive devices 12 (two in the figure, but can be applied to a number larger than two). The calibration time of the LPRM detector is further shortened by switching and driving the detection cable driving device 12 by one drive control / detector signal measuring device 18.
For this reason, the drive control / detector signal measurement device 18 according to the fourth embodiment is configured to newly provide a drive device selection unit 188.

なお、図8には特に示していないが、通常の移動式原子炉内中性子測定装置は、TIP検出器6の挿入される案内管5として前述した案内管5の他に共通案内管を備えているので、本実施例4ではこの共通案内管に個々のTIP検出器6を挿入して、TIP検出器6同士の感度がほぼ同じになるように予め調整しておくものとする。   Although not specifically shown in FIG. 8, the normal mobile in-reactor neutron measurement apparatus includes a common guide tube in addition to the guide tube 5 described above as the guide tube 5 into which the TIP detector 6 is inserted. Therefore, in the fourth embodiment, it is assumed that individual TIP detectors 6 are inserted into the common guide tube and adjusted in advance so that the sensitivities of the TIP detectors 6 are substantially the same.

その後、1台の駆動制御/検出器信号測定装置18から複数の検出ケーブル駆動装置12のうち1台づつ選択して駆動制御することにより、前述した実施例と同じ要領で順次出力信号6aおよび位置信号15aを読込むようにする。   After that, by selecting one of the plurality of detection cable drive devices 12 from one drive control / detector signal measuring device 18 and controlling the drive, the output signal 6a and the position are sequentially controlled in the same manner as in the previous embodiment. The signal 15a is read.

本実施例4の場合、TIPの測定開始前に複数のTIP検出器6を案内管5内の炉心頂位置に予め挿入しておき、1台の駆動制御/検出器信号測定装置18から複数の検出ケーブル駆動装置12を切換えて順次駆動制御し、TIP検出器6の引抜き作業を行うようにしたので、上述した実施例1〜3のように1チャンネル毎にTIP検出器6を挿入/引抜きを行って中性子束を測定する場合に比べ、LPRM検出器の校正時間を大幅に短縮することができる。   In the case of the fourth embodiment, a plurality of TIP detectors 6 are inserted in advance into the core top position in the guide tube 5 before the start of TIP measurement, and a plurality of drive control / detector signal measuring devices 18 Since the detection cable driving device 12 is switched and sequentially driven and controlled, the TIP detector 6 is pulled out. Therefore, the TIP detector 6 is inserted / extracted for each channel as in the first to third embodiments. Compared with the case where the neutron flux is measured, the calibration time of the LPRM detector can be greatly shortened.

しかも、原子炉出力を安定させるために原子炉内の対象位置でほぼ同じ出力を確保する必要があるところ、本実施例4の場合、複数のTIP検出器6を予め原子炉内の対象位置に挿入して中性子束を測定することが容易にでき、対称位置にあるTIP検出器6の相対的な校正を行うことができる。仮に対称位置にあるTIP検出器6の中性子束検出値に所定値以上の差がある場合には、検出器感度の低下、原子炉出力の異常等と判断してオペレータにその旨知らせればよい。   Moreover, in order to stabilize the reactor output, it is necessary to ensure substantially the same output at the target position in the reactor. In the case of the fourth embodiment, a plurality of TIP detectors 6 are set in advance in the target position in the reactor. The neutron flux can be easily measured by insertion, and the relative calibration of the TIP detector 6 at the symmetrical position can be performed. If there is a difference of a predetermined value or more in the detected neutron flux value of the TIP detector 6 at the symmetrical position, it may be determined that the sensitivity of the detector is decreased, the reactor power is abnormal, etc. .

なお、本実施例4において、複数個の移動式中性子束検出器の相対感度の校正を行う場合、測定した中性子束の中心値に合わせる方法、測定した中性子束の平均値に合わせる方法、あるいは一番感度の高い移動式中性子束検出器に合わせる方法等種々の方法があるので、これらの方法のうち最適と思われる方法を行えばよい。   In the fourth embodiment, when the relative sensitivity of a plurality of mobile neutron flux detectors is calibrated, a method for matching the center value of the measured neutron flux, a method for matching the average value of the measured neutron flux, or one Since there are various methods such as a method for adjusting to a mobile neutron flux detector with high sensitivity, a method considered to be optimal among these methods may be performed.

図9において、本実施例5は上述した実施例2に対して出力領域モニタを追加して構成したものであり、30は出力領域モニタ、31はLPRM検出器4A〜4Dからの中性子束を入力する局部出力モニタ、32は制御棒引抜監視モニタ、33はデータ伝送装置である。
(Example 5)
FIG. 9 is a system configuration diagram showing Embodiment 5 of the mobile in-reactor neutron measurement apparatus according to the present invention.
In FIG. 9, the fifth embodiment is configured by adding an output region monitor to the second embodiment described above, 30 is an output region monitor, and 31 is a neutron flux from LPRM detectors 4A to 4D. A local output monitor 32, a control rod pull-out monitoring monitor 32, and a data transmission device 33.

TIP検出器6の引抜の際、TIP検出器6の位置が炉心頂または炉心頂から炉心底間の任意位置(例えば炉中心)、あるいは炉心底のそれぞれに到達した時点のタイミング信号15a2と、案内管5の選択信号(図示を省略)とを出力領域モニタ30内の制御棒引抜監視モニタ32に送信する。制御棒引抜監視監視モニタ32はそれぞれのタイミングで原子炉平均出力とLPRM検出器4A〜4Dの出力を記録しておく。また局部出力モニタ31においてTIP検出器6の炉心からの引抜が完了した後でその時のTIP検出器引抜中に原子炉平均出力と各LPRM検出器信号の変動幅が所定の範囲内にある場合に当該引抜時の中性子束分布測定が有効である旨の判断を行い、その判断結果をデータ伝送装置33経由駆動制御/検出器信号測定装置18とプロセス計算機20とに出力する。   When the TIP detector 6 is pulled out, a timing signal 15a2 when the position of the TIP detector 6 reaches the core top, an arbitrary position between the core top and the core bottom (for example, the center of the core), or the bottom of the core, and guidance A selection signal (not shown) for the pipe 5 is transmitted to the control rod pull-out monitoring monitor 32 in the output area monitor 30. The control rod pull-out monitoring monitor 32 records the reactor average output and the outputs of the LPRM detectors 4A to 4D at each timing. Further, when the local output monitor 31 completes the extraction of the TIP detector 6 from the core, and the fluctuation range of the reactor average output and each LPRM detector signal is within a predetermined range during the extraction of the TIP detector at that time. It is determined that the neutron flux distribution measurement at the time of extraction is effective, and the determination result is output to the drive control / detector signal measurement device 18 and the process computer 20 via the data transmission device 33.

この実施例5の場合、前述した実施例1〜4においてプロセス計算機20側で行っていたTIP検出器引抜中の原子炉出力変動有無の監視機能を無くすことができ、この結果、その監視機能用のハードウェアすなわちTIPインターフェースを無くすことができる。   In the case of the fifth embodiment, the monitoring function for the presence or absence of fluctuations in the reactor power during the extraction of the TIP detector, which was performed on the process computer 20 side in the first to fourth embodiments, can be eliminated. Hardware, that is, the TIP interface can be eliminated.
