Description
第1実施形態に係るステンレス鋼を用いた中性子照射量評価方法の手順の一例を図1に示す。また、図2に試料の秤量及び溶解の概略工程図を示す。図2に示すように、まず照射を受けたステンレス鋼1から試料2を採取する。試料2を秤量し、テフロン(登録商標)ビーカ3に入れ、塩酸4、硝酸5、フッ酸6を加えて加熱溶解する(図1のステップ11)。加熱溶解終了後の溶解液7を質量既知の容器8に回収し、テフロン(登録商標)ビーカ3を純水で洗浄することで出来る洗浄液も容器に回収し、溶解液7と合一させる。質量既知の容器8に入った溶解液7の質量測定を行う。
(沈殿試料中の放射能量)/
((分離供試割合)×(イオン交換回収率)×(測定供試割合)×(沈殿回収率))
である。
ここで、分離供試割合は、溶解液から陰イオン交換樹脂を用いた化学分離に供した溶解液の割合。イオン交換回収率は、元素濃度分析と回収率評価1の比率より得られる元素の質量比である。測定供試割合は、回収溶液から測定に供した溶液の割合である。沈殿回収率は、沈殿操作に供した溶液中に含まれる元素の質量と沈殿試料中の元素の質量の比率である。
NNb93m=λ1λ2N1[{e-λ1t/(λ2-λ1)(λ3-λ1)}+
{e-λ2t/(λ1-λ2)(λ3-λ2)}+{e-λ3t/(λ1-λ3)(λ2-λ3)}]
NMo93=λ1N1[{e-λ1t/(λ2-λ1)}+{e-λ2t/(λ1-λ2)}]
λ1=σ92Mo/93Mo×φth
λ2=λMo93
λ3=λNb93m
N1は92Moの初期の原子数、σ92Mo/93Moは、92Mo(n,γ)93Moの熱中性子捕獲断面積、φthは熱中性子束、λMo93は93Moの壊変定数、λNb93mは93mNbの壊変定数である。N1については以下の式より求まる。
N1=M×C×F×NA/G
ここで、M:試料量(g)、C:試料中の元素組成(%)、F:元素の天然存在比(%)、NA:アボガドロ定数(mol-1)、G:原子量(amu)
NMo93=N’Mo93×eλ2tc
なお、運転停止プラントに対しては、停止期間中の93Moからの93mNbの生成反応についても考慮する必要がある。運転(照射)終了後の冷却期間tcを考慮した93Mo由来の93mNbの原子数N’Nb93mと放射能ANb93m(Mo)’は以下の式で算出される。
N’Nb93m=(λ2/(λ3-λ2))NMo93(e-λ2tc-e-λ3tc)+NNb93me-λ3tc
ANb93m(Mo)’=N’Nb93mλ3
ANb93m(Nb)’=ANb93m’-ANb93m(Mo)’
ANb93m(Nb)=ANb93m(Nb)’×eλNb93mtC
φf=ANb93m(Nb)/[NNb93σNb93/93m{1-exp(-λNb93mt)}]
NNb93は、93Nbの初期量を示しており、93Nbの濃度を元にN1と同様の手法で求める。
次に、第2実施形態について説明する。第2実施形態では、原子炉の長期運転停止に伴い、92Mo由来の93Nbの量の割合が徐々に大きくなることを考慮し、93Nb量に対する92Moの影響を排除し、より精度よく93Nbの初期値を推定する。すなわち、中性子照射の終了後に93Moの崩壊により生成する93mNb、および93mNbの崩壊により生成する93Nbが、93Nbの中性子照射前の初期の元素濃度を推定する際に及ぼす影響を評価し、93Nbの中性子照射の前の初期値を導出する。この場合以下の式を用いて92Mo由来の93Nbの量を求める。なお、この際分母に(λi-λi)となる値は含まない。
NNb93=λ1λ2λ3N1×Σ4 i=1[{1/(λ1-λi)…(λ4-λi)}e-λit]
+λ2λ3NMo93×Σ4 i=2[{1/(λ2-λi)…(λ4-λi)}e-λitc]
