Title:
COUNTING RATE EVALUATING METHOD FOR IN-LINE NEUTRON MONITOR
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP3263154
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:

PURPOSE: To accurately determine the relation between the counting rate and the nuclear fuel material density with a real machine simulating/calibrating device by using the isotope nuclide composition ratio of a nuclear fuel material as a parameter for evaluating the absolute value of the nuclear fuel material density from the counting rate of an in-line neutron monitor.
CONSTITUTION: A neutron source 4 having the known intensity is arranged in a real machine simulating/calibrating device 1 simulating a real machine nuclear fuel container system to obtain the counting rate measured value (CSM), and the counting rate calculated value (CSC) when the neutron source 4 is arranged or the neutron flux calculated value (&phiv SC) at the position of a neutron detector is calculated via the neutron flux calculation code. The counting rate calculated value (CLC) or the neutron flux calculated value (&phiv LC) is calculated via the neutron flux calculation code on the assumption that the composition, density, and distribution of the nuclear fuel are known for the real machine nuclear fuel container system, and the counting rate (CLM) is obtained as the product of the function of (CSM/CSC) and (CLCO or the product of the function of (CSM/&phiv SC) and (&phiv LC).
