Description

The preparation method in a kind of liquid alpha irradiation source
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of preparation method of radioactive source, particularly the preparation method in a kind of liquid alpha irradiation source.
Background technology
The object of spentnuclear fuel aftertreatment mainly is the spentnuclear fuel that nuclear power plant reactor draws off, and the characteristics of spentnuclear fuel maximum are to have extremely strong radioactivity.When spentnuclear fuel draws off in the reactor, no matter whether reach the burn-up level of design, always contain a certain amount of not fission nuclide and newly-generated nucleic.When spentnuclear fuel was carried out aftertreatment, the radioactivity in the aftertreatment flow process derived from the spentnuclear fuel 235U, 238U, 239Pu, 237Np, 241Am, and long-life of producing of nuclear fission, the fission product of high yield, as 95Zr, 95Nb ( 95The decay daughter of Zr), ruthenium ( 103Ru, 106Ru), some alkaline metal (as 137Cs), earth alkali metal (as 90Sr) and rare earth element (as 144Ce, 147Pm) etc.Because the existence of these nucleic, cause α, β, gamma activity in the aftertreatment flow process all very strong, therefore radiolysis can take place in the solvent that adopts and other chemical reagent usually, brings some harmful effects for the technological process of aftertreatment, as: the loss of (1) U, Pu; (2) decontamination factor of U, Pu product reduces; (3) extraction stage efficiency reduces, and precipitation, third phase, emulsification occur and is difficult to the equal situation of branch; (4) flow path efficiency reduces; (5) the flow process instability, have borderline risk etc.Because these influence the effect that direct relation aftertreatment, so the radiolysis research of chemical reagent has very important meaning in the aftertreatment technology.
After the Purex flow process that with TBP/ kerosene is extractant was born, the variation of essence did not take place in aftertreatment flow process so far, moved in the world at present and adopt this class flow process in the aftertreatment factory that founds a capital.The Purex flow process is extractant with tributyl phosphate (TBP), and kerosene or n-dodecane are thinning agent, HNO 3Be salting-out agents, the difference of utilizing U, Pu and fission product to extract behavior each other realizes separation and the purification of uranium plutonium.The Purex flow process comprises the purification of uranium plutonium codecontamination separation, uranium and three extraction cycle of purification of plutonium.In the codecontamination separating cycle, utilize extractant to realize that uranium, plutonium separate with fission product, and the separation between the uranium, plutonium.The decontamination cycle of uranium is finished the further purification of uranium product liquid to remove fission product and trace plutonium.The plutonium lean solution of being come by the codecontamination separating cycle enters plutonium behind condiment decontamination cycle utilizes the further purification of reduction reextraction agent realization plutonium product liquid with concentrated, and therefore in the plutonium purification cycle, the irradiation that solution is subjected to mainly is alpha activity.Along with the raising of reactor fuel enrichment, the raising of average specific power and the intensification of burnup, the specific radioactivity in the spentnuclear fuel, decay heat, plutonium content and other transuranic element content all significantly increase.Therefore, based on the demand of reality, the α radiolysis behavioral study of chemical reagent is demanded urgently carrying out in the aftertreatment flow process.
At present, both at home and abroad for the most airtight solid-state alpha irradiation sources of adopting of the research of α radiolysis behavior, as 244Cm, 210Po or 238Pu microballoon etc.Yet the sealing means that adopt in airtight solid-state alpha irradiation source can reduce the energy of α particle significantly, and sealant is more thick, and the alpha-particle energy that discharges is more low, and for example thickness is that 0.17 millimeter platinum coating can make 210The energy of the α particle that Po produces reduces only about half of, and therefore the dose rate in airtight solid-state alpha irradiation source is very low.If use it for the α radiolysis behavioral study of chemical reagent in the aftertreatment flow process, for satisfying the requirement of irradiation dose, then must need a large amount of radiolysis time, can not satisfy instant Testing requirement like this, can be subjected to serious chemical reaction again disturbs, therefore the true radiolysis situation that can't reflect measurand needs a kind of new alpha irradiation source of development badly to satisfy the α radiolysis behavioral study of chemical reagent in the aftertreatment flow process.
Summary of the invention
