Impact Analysis of Single Fuel Rod Damage during Fuel Assembly Repair
-
摘要: 以核电厂燃料组件修复过程中单根燃料棒损坏释放的放射性物质为分析对象,就放射性物质释放对组件修复的工作人员产生的累积有效剂量进行评估,对向环境释放的气态流出物的放射性总活度进行计算,并对气态流出物排放监测的影响开展分析。分析结果表明单根燃料棒损坏后,执行燃料组件修复的每位工作人员接受的累积有效剂量为12.2 mSv,低于GB 18871—2002规定的工作人员职业照射年平均有效剂量限值20 mSv;向环境释放的气态流出物中惰性气体与碘的放射性总活度分别为3.51×1011 Bq和2.17×108 Bq,远小于GB 6249—2011规定的年排放控制值6.0×1014 Bq和2.0×1010 Bq。燃料棒损坏后40 min烟囱排气惰性气体测量仪的读数小于1.0×1011 Bq/h,核电厂无需进入应急待命状态。Abstract: The cumulative effective dose to fuel assembly repair workers, the total radioactive activity of gaseous effluent released to the environment and the impact on gaseous effluent discharge monitoring are calculated and evaluated by taking the radioactive substances released from single fuel rod damage during the fuel assembly repair in nuclear power plant as the analysis object. The analysis results show that in case of single fuel rod damage, the cumulative effective dose received by each worker involved in the fuel assembly repair is 12.2 mSv, which is lower than 20 mSv—the annual average effective dose limit for workers’ occupational exposure stipulated in GB 18871-2002; the total radioactive activities of noble gases and iodine in the gaseous effluent released to the environment are 3.51 × 1011 Bq and 2.17 × 108 Bq respectively, which are far lower than the annual emission control values (6.0 × 1014 Bq and 2.0 × 1010 Bq) specified in GB 6249-2011. The reading of noble gas exhaust measuring instrument is lower than 1.0 × 1011 Bq/h 40 minutes after the fuel rod damage, so the nuclear power plant does not need to be put on emergency standby.
