~(252)Cf中子活化核燃料棒~(235)U富集度均匀性检测装置

  • 摘要: 采用252Cf中子活化方法研制燃料棒235U富集度均匀性检测设备,用慢化后的252Cf中子照射燃料棒,使燃料棒UO2芯块中的235U发生裂变,通过测量其裂变产物的γ射线总强度对燃料棒235U富集度及其均匀性进行在线检测。采用1 2mg的252Cf中子源,能检测出燃料棒中235U富集度相对偏差±10%的单个混料芯块,单根燃料棒的检测速度可达7m/min,检测结果的置信概率为97 74%。

     

    Abstract: The developed scanner for scanning fuel rod 235U enrichment uniformity is based on the 252Cf neutron activation method, in which the delay gamma rays emitted by fission products from 235U fission induced by moderated 252Cf neutrons are counted along the fuel rod moved successively through the irradiator containing 252Cf neutron sources and the BGO crystal detectors at a constant speed by a mechanical conveyor. The present equipment has two channels for inspecting two fuel at the same time. When a 252Cf source of 1.2 mg is used, the single offspec pellet which deviates from normal enrichment by ±10% can be detected at the scanning speed of 7 m/min with 97.74% confidence.
