Definitions
- the invention relates to nuclear engineering and is intended to provide a controlled start-up of the reactor by bringing the reactor to the operating power level after regular and emergency shutdowns.
- Controlled launch means the ability to measure neutron flux changes in the core
- the number of neutrons arising in the core from the spontaneous fission of uranium ( ⁇ 2 10 3 neutrons / s) is not enough to create a controlled neutron flux in the measuring chambers during start-up.
- Known sources of neutrons in the form of cluster assemblies consist of two types of rods: rods filled with antimony and rods filled with hot-pressed beryllium.
- neutron sources based on tablets from an antimony-beryllium composition placed in a single housing. This design of the neutron source is currently used in nuclear ship installations.
- a monoenergetic neutron source is also known, described in patent RU X "1762676, MGZH G21G4 / 00, op. 08/30/1994.
- the neutron source is radioactive antimony enclosed in a beryllium shell, which is placed in a layer of iron, while the thickness of the layer of beryllium and iron is changed, and the thickness is determined from the calculated ratios.
- the device contains a source of photons - antimony in the form of a cylinder, a source of photoneutrons - beryllium in the form of a cylindrical tube, a neutron filter - iron in the form of a glass, into which the antimony - beryllium system is placed and closed with a stopper made of iron.
- the disadvantage of this design is the possibility of melting antimony in the manufacture and operation of the source, which will lead to delamination of the antimony-beryllium composition and a decrease in the efficiency of the source. Disclosure of invention
- the invention solves the problem of increasing the reliability of a working neutron source.
- the technical result of the invention is to create additional safety barriers between the coolant and the materials of the active part of the neutron source, increasing the resource of trouble-free operation of the neutron source, its reliability and durability.
- a design of a working neutron source is proposed, which is a shell made of durable material, for example, steel, inside which an ampoule is placed containing active elements - antimony and beryllium with a coaxial arrangement of separate antimony and beryllium cavities.
- Antimony is enclosed in the central shell of an ampoule made of a material that does not interact with antimony during pouring and operation, for example, from an alloy based on niobium.
- the central shell of the ampoule is sealed.
- Powder-filled beryllium is located between the antimony shell and the ampoule shell.
- the porosity of the backfill of beryllium powder is 45%, the particle size is 60-200 microns.
- the ampoule shell is made of a material that weakly interacts with beryllium, for example, steel of the ferritic-martensitic class.
- the upper gas collector which serves as the compensation volume-collector of gaseous products divisions.
- the gas collector is pressed through the washers to the ampoule using a spring.
- Gas collectors, reflector and washers are made of durable material, for example, steel of ferritic-martensitic class,
- the inner cavity of the shell of the neutron source is filled with helium to ensure heat transfer.
- the shell of the neutron source is sealed with two shanks: upper and lower. Sealing is carried out using argon-arc welding.
- the ampoule is placed in the shell of a neutron source with a gap of 0.1 mm.
- the ampoule is placed in a four-rib shell to create an additional safety barrier.
- a working neutron source provides a controlled start of the reactor from a subcritical state with the CPS bodies fully submerged at any time during the entire life of the core except the initial start-up.
- Fig. 1 shows a working neutron source in a section, a general view.
- Figure 2 shows the ampoule of the working source of neutrons in the context.
- a container-type working neutron source comprises a shell 1 of ferritic-martensitic steel of a diameter of 12 mm along the smooth part with a wall thickness of 0.4 mm with four helical ribs located on the outside of the shell.
- the diameter along the ribs is 13.5 mm, the pitch of winding the ribs is 750 mm. (not shown in the drawing).
- ampoule 4 Inside the shell is placed ampoule 4 with active elements - antimony and beryllium. Active elements are located in separate antimony and beryllium cavities in the form of a coaxial design.
- the upper gas collector 5 which serves as a compensation volume-collector of gaseous fission products.
