本発明は使用済燃料集合体の平均燃焼度をガン
マ線測定により非破壊的に定量する使用済燃料集
合体の非破壊測定方法およびその装置に関する。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for non-destructively measuring the average burn-up of a spent fuel assembly by gamma ray measurement.
[発明の技術的背景とその問題点]
一般に、使用済燃料集合体内に蓄積された長半
減期の核分裂生成核種(以下FPという)の濃度
は、その照射期間中の燃焼度にほぼ比例する。[Technical background of the invention and its problems] Generally, the concentration of long half-life fission product nuclides (hereinafter referred to as FP) accumulated in a spent fuel assembly is approximately proportional to its burnup during the irradiation period.

ようなFPの代表例としては、半減期30.2年の
Cs137があげられる。 The method of measuring the spectrum of gamma rays emitted from spent fuel with a high-resolution gamma ray detector such as a germanium detector and quantifying the burnup using the proportionality between the count rate and burnup of the FP of interest is extremely difficult. It is well known as one of the destructive measurement methods. A typical example of such FP is the half-life of 30.2 years.
Cs137 is mentioned.

め、断面四角形状の使用済燃料集合体周辺の対称
な4方向または対向する2方向からガンマ線の測
定を行ない、これらの計数率の平均値から燃焼度
を求める方法が従来行われている。 When applying such a method to nondestructive measurement of spent fuel assemblies to find the average burnup of a spent fuel assembly, each fuel rod in the spent fuel assembly has a different burnup, and Because gamma rays have a directional distribution, gamma rays are measured from four symmetrical directions or from two opposing directions around a spent fuel assembly with a rectangular cross section, and the burnup is calculated from the average value of these count rates. Traditionally done.

を、使用済燃料集合体を挾んで対称的な位置に配
置し、2方向または4方向からの測定を同時に行
なう第2の方法が考えられる。 In the case of a normal spent fuel assembly with a rectangular cross section, measurements are performed from two opposing directions (usually corner directions) because the burnup distribution is almost symmetrical in one diagonal direction. In the case of spent fuel assemblies that have been arranged for a long time in the periphery, the distribution is not necessarily symmetrical, so measurements must be taken from four directions. In this case, the first method involves using one gamma ray spectrum measuring device consisting of a gamma ray collimator, a detector, etc., and sequentially measuring from each of two or four directions by rotating the spent fuel assembly; A second method can be considered in which the gamma ray spectrum measurement devices are arranged symmetrically across the spent fuel assembly and measurements are taken from two or four directions simultaneously.

合体を回転して検出器の方向に正確に設定する必
要があり、このような設定に時間を要し、さらに
測定時間を長くするという問題がある。 However, in the first method, although the installation space of the gamma ray spectrum measuring device is relatively small, the gamma ray intensity distribution within the cross section of the fuel assembly is not symmetrical, so measurement from two or four directions is required. 2 times or 4 times more than unidirectional measurement
Double the measurement time is required. In addition, it is necessary to rotate the spent fuel assembly to accurately set it in the direction of the detector, and such setting requires time, which further increases the measurement time.
また、第2の方法では、複数の方向から同時測

を必要とするとともに、測定装置に多大な費用が
かかるという問題がある。 In addition, with the second method, measurements can be taken from multiple directions simultaneously and there is no need to rotate the spent fuel assembly, so the time required for measurements etc. is reduced.
Multiple, large-scale gamma-ray spectrum measurement devices that occupy a large space must be installed symmetrically across the spent fuel assembly, which requires an extremely large amount of space and requires a large amount of cost for the measurement devices. There's a problem.

The present invention aims to provide a method and device for non-destructive measurement of spent fuel assemblies.

である。 FIG. 1 shows a flowchart of an embodiment of the method for non-destructive measurement of spent fuel assemblies according to the present invention. Gamma ray intensity of long half-life FP (Cs137) measured from I 1
At the same time, the average value G AV of the gross gamma ray intensity measured simultaneously from two or four symmetrical directions around the spent fuel assembly 4 by the gross gamma ray measuring device 6 and the one direction (the direction of the gamma ray spectrum measuring device) are determined. ) gross gamma ray intensity G 1

The average FP gamma ray intensity (approximate value) I AV is determined. That is, I AV ≒I 1 ×R=I 1 ×G AV ÷G 1 .

は、例えば米国特許4335466号に記載されている。 Next, the average burnup of the spent fuel assembly 4 is determined using the pre-calibrated correlation between the FP gamma ray intensity and the burnup. Here, the gross gamma ray intensity from the spent fuel assembly 4 is determined by the contribution of gamma rays from FPs with long half-lives (particularly Cs137 and Cs134, etc.) when the cooling period after fuel removal is approximately 2 years or more, and the burnup is approximately proportional to This is described, for example, in US Pat. No. 4,335,466.

マ線強度分布にほぼ比例することとなる。 Note that the average energy of the gross gamma rays is approximately 0.6 to 0.8 MeV, which is close to the gamma ray energy (0.66 MeV) of Cs137, so that the attenuation of these gamma rays within the spent fuel assembly 4 is approximately equal. Therefore, the gross gamma ray intensity distribution measured from the circumferential direction of the spent fuel assembly 4 is approximately proportional to the gamma ray intensity distribution of Cs137.

Note that the difference in gamma ray intensity of Cs137 measured from the four corners of the spent fuel assembly 4 may exceed 10% in the case of boiling water reactor fuel, but is usually quite small.

It can also be applied to the measurement of other combustion parameters such as the ratio of total plutonium concentration to total uranium concentration, fissile nuclide concentration, enrichment degree, and cooling time derived from the intensity ratio.

Since the burnup can be determined, only one gamma ray spectrum measuring device, which requires a large installation space, is required, and the installation space is not expanded and the device cost does not increase.

In other words, the average burnup in the circumferential direction can be derived by measuring once for each point in the axial direction of the spent fuel assembly, and the average burnup in the spent fuel assembly can be determined by further measuring at several points in the axial direction. can. Therefore, unlike the conventional method using only one gamma ray spectrum measuring device, there is no need to rotate the spent fuel assembly in the circumferential direction and measure it from two or four directions, and the burnup can be measured reliably in a short time. can be measured.
