Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, due to the strong radioactivity of the fuel assembly after irradiation and the continuous release of waste heat, it needs to be stored in boron-containing water, which cannot be measured at close range, and general measuring equipment cannot be used
At present, the video method is generally used for inspection, but this method has low precision and can only roughly observe the deformation of the component

Embodiment Construction

[0030] The device and method for detecting the deformation size of the fuel assembly of the PWR nuclear power plant of the present invention after irradiation are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments:

[0031] Such as image 3 As shown, a method for detecting the deformation size of a fuel assembly after irradiation in a PWR nuclear power plant uses a detection group 2 composed of two detection units 3 to measure the width of an opposite side of the fuel assembly 10 and the diameter of the fuel rod and the distance between the fuel rods. According to the shape of the fuel assembly 10, multiple detection groups 2 are arranged to measure the width of each opposite side of the fuel assembly 10 simultaneously.

[0032] Such as Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, a device for detecting deformation dimensions of fuel assemblies after irradiation in a PWR nuclear power plant includes: an underwater detection part, a control cabinet 12, a positioning came...

Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of detection, and in particular relates to a device and a method for detecting deformation size of a fuel assembly after irradiation of a pressurized-water reactor nuclear power plant, which solve the problem of low precision and poor insurance in the prior art. The detecting device mainly comprises an annular base (1) and detection sets (2), wherein a plurality of detection sets (2) are evenly distributed on the annular base (1); each detection set (2) comprises a pair of detection units (3) placed reversely in parallel; the number of the detection units (3) is the same as the edge number of the fuel assembly (10); and the detecting method adopts the detection set (2) consisting of the two detection units (3) to measure the width of an opposite side of the fuel assembly, the diameter of fuel rods and the clearance between the fuel rods. The method and the device can inspect the curve and torsion of the fuel assembly after the irradiation of the nuclear power plant, the opposite side distance of a grillwork and the clearance between the fuel rods; and edges of the fuel assembly can be inspected at the same time by adopting the arrangement of a plurality of units, and the detection efficiency is high.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to a detection device and a detection method for a fuel assembly in a nuclear power plant, in particular a detection method and an implementation device for the deformation of the fuel assembly after irradiation in a PWR nuclear power plant. Background technique [0002] The fuel assembly of the PWR nuclear power plant generally adopts a square or hexagonal design. There are fuel rods, control rod guide tubes and neutron measuring tubes. The assembly is 3 to 4 meters long. From top to bottom, it consists of the upper tube seat, fuel rod, It consists of a trellis and a down tube seat. There are multiple grids, which are distributed equidistantly in the length direction of the assembly to fix the fuel rod and the control rod guide tube together. The structure of the hexagonal assembly is as figure 1 Shown. The irradiated components are generally stored in storage racks in a fuel pool filled with boron-containing water, such as figure 2...
