| 英文摘要 | Uranium enrichment measurement is an essential quality inspection for fuel rods before delivery to users. Generally, compared with active neutron assay (ANA) equipment, passive gamma-ray assay (PGA) equipment is more economical and safer. However, the current PGA equipment based on photomultipliers is too slow (1 m/min) to meet the growing needs in China. Recently, we have developed a set of compact high-speed PGA equipment including four detection modules (128 units in total), a 128-channel data acquisition system (DAS), a power supply, special software, and an automatic loading and unloading mechanism. The detection unit is based on silicon photomultipliers in virtue of its compact size and good performance. The DAS processes signals of all units in parallel into a sequence of data packets carrying the energy information and the corresponding unit ID. The software integrates the data packets into a fluctuating count curve in a time-delay superposition method and identifies possible abnormal pellets. After calibrations, our equipment can locate abnormal pellets accurately at a speed of 6 m/min. In addition, it can directly measure the enrichment of fresh pellets not in secular equilibrium without waiting for two months. So far, the equipment has been successfully run for one year on the assembly line of China North Nuclear Fuel Co. and shows good potential to replace the traditional ANA equipment. |
