Description

Dose rate measurement value-based method for adjusting size of collimation hole and distance of detector
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the radioactive substance detection technology, and particularly relates to a method for adjusting the size of a collimation hole and the distance of a detector based on a dose rate measuring value in the nondestructive detection process of a radioactive waste barrel.
Background
According to the national standard requirements, radioactive waste generated by nuclear facilities is collected, pretreated, treated and prepared to form a waste barrel in a sealed package, and the waste barrel is transported to a disposal site for disposal after being stored. The waste generation unit needs to fill the information of the total activity of the waste, the main radionuclide and the activity concentration thereof in the waste bucket file. Since the waste bin is not usually sampled and analyzed after being produced, only nondestructive testing can be used to measure the waste bin to obtain nuclide and activity information. The gamma nondestructive detection technology is the most widely used method at present, the size of a collimation hole at the front end of a detector and the distance between the detector and a waste barrel are two very important design parameters during detection, the Monte Carlo method is usually used for calculating the detection efficiency of the gamma nondestructive detection technology for the waste barrel, and the size of the collimation hole and the distance between the detector and the barrel need to be determined during modeling to complete calculation, so the two values are very important for gamma nondestructive detection equipment for the waste barrel, an efficiency scale function in equipment software needs to be adjusted after the parameters are changed, otherwise, a measurement result is wrong, and the two parameters are usually fixed. However, the apparatus with fixed parameters has a great disadvantage that the detection capability of the detector device for radioactive rays is determined, and when the radioactivity of the measured waste bin is low, the detection efficiency needs to be increased, so that the measurement time can be shortened, otherwise, sufficient counts may not be detected within the specified measurement time, and when the radioactivity of the measured waste bin is high, the detection efficiency needs to be reduced, otherwise, the counting rate of the detector is likely to exceed the detection capability of the detector, so that the detector is blocked, and the measurement result cannot be obtained.
Chinese patent application 201811444789.4 discloses a self-adaptive adjusting method for collimator aperture and detector position, which is characterized in that after a detecting device reaches a preset position, a transmission source device is opened to perform pre-transmission measurement, then the transmission source device is closed to perform pre-transmission measurement, the distance between a detector and a waste bucket in the detecting device is adjusted according to pre-transmission measurement and pre-transmission measurement parameters, and the collimator aperture is adjusted at the same time.
For the waste barrel loaded with the radioactive wastes with medium and high levels, due to the high radioactivity level of the waste barrel, the adoption of the active gamma nondestructive detection method can be greatly interfered, and only the passive gamma nondestructive detection method can be adopted. The method disclosed in the above patent application 201811444789.4 is suitable for active gamma nondestructive testing, in the current passive gamma nondestructive testing process, the size of the collimating hole at the front end of the detector and the distance between the detector and the waste barrel do not change, when the activity of the nuclide in the barrel is large, the detector may work in a high-load state, even "jam" in extreme cases, and the final nuclide activity measurement result has a large error.
