集合体の燃焼度等分布測定装置に関する。[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Objective of the Invention] (Industrial Field of Application) This invention is an object of the present invention to measure the burnup level, etc. of a fuel assembly by measuring the radiation on the side of the fuel assembly irradiated in a nuclear reactor. The present invention relates to a burnup distribution measuring device for a nuclear reactor irradiated fuel assembly that measures the distribution of burnup.

いはPu/U比等の有用な評価が可能となる。(Prior Art) Fission products accumulate inside fuel loaded into a nuclear reactor as it is irradiated. Many of these fission products are radioactive. Some of these radioactive fission products, such as 137 Cs, 134 Cs, and 154 Eu, have long half-lives of several years or more and are produced in large quantities because of their high fission yields. be. For this reason, large amounts of gamma rays are emitted from spent fuel that has undergone normal irradiation. In addition, heavy nuclides in fuel (such as 238 U) repeatedly capture neutrons during irradiation, producing spontaneous fissile nuclides such as 244 Cm, 242 Cm, and 240 Pu. Their half-lives are also long. Furthermore, when the spontaneously fissile material in the fuel undergoes nuclear fission, neutrons are released, and the emitted neutrons interact with the remaining fissile material to cause nuclear fission and release of neutrons. By measuring gamma rays and neutrons as described above, it becomes possible to usefully evaluate the burnup of a fuel assembly irradiated in a nuclear reactor, the amount of fissile material produced, the Pu/U ratio, etc.

るが測定を多数回行なう必要があり、多大な測定
時間を要するという欠点がある。 One method uses a single radiation detector, moves the radiation detector axially on the side of the fuel assembly, and performs measurements at each position. According to this method, although the sensitivity of the detector is constant, it is necessary to perform measurements many times, which has the disadvantage that it takes a long time to measure.

がある。 Another method is to arrange a plurality of detectors in the axial direction on the side of the fuel assembly and simultaneously measure a plurality of locations on the fuel assembly. This method is
Although it has the advantage that the measurement can be completed only once, it has the disadvantage that measurement errors are likely to occur because the sensitivity of each detector differs.
