Study on the background automatic measurement method of uranium enrichment of on-line monitor at uranium enrichment plant
Uranium enrichment of on-line monitor (UEOM) is an equipment which is adopted to measure enrichment of UF
6
flowing through the processing pipes at uranium enrichment plant. Background is the key parameter which directly influences the measurement precision. Traditional background measurement methods need to stop work of monitor and vacuum container.
Purpose:
2
This study aims to build up a method to measure the background of monitor automatically.
Methods:
2
A NaI(T1) detector is used to measure the count rates ofγ-ray emitted from
235
U and a pressure sensor is used to measure the pressure of gases in the container
the background of monitor is obtained by fitting the data of different pressures.
Results:
2
The experimental results show that the relative standard de
via
tion is less than 0.30% and the maximum de
via
tion is less than 0.25% comparing with the data from mass spectrometry method.
Conclusion:
2
The new method shows a better precision compared with the traditional and it increases automation of the monitor greatly.
