摘要: In atmospheric dispersion models of nuclear accident, the dispersion coefficients were usually obtained by tracer experiment, which are constant in different atmospheric stability classifications. In fact, the atmospheric wind field is complex and unstable. The dispersion coefficients change even in the same atmospheric stability, hence the great errors brought in. According to the regulation, the air concentration of nuclides around nuclear power plant should be monitored during an accident. The monitoring data can be used to correct dispersion coefficients dynamically. The error can be minimized by correcting the coefficients. This reverse problem is nonlinear and sensitive to initial value. The property of searching the optimal solution of Genetic Algorithm (GA) is suitable for complex high-dimensional situation. In this paper, coupling with Lagrange dispersion model, GA is used to estimate the coefficients. The simulation results show that GA scheme performs well when the error is big. When the correcting process is used in the experiment data, the GA-estimated results are numerical instable. The success rate of estimation is 5% lower than the one without correction. Taking into account the continuity of the dispersion coefficient, Savitzky-Golay filter is used to smooth the estimated parameters. The success rate of estimation increases to 75.86%. This method can improve the accuracy of atmospheric dispersion simulation.

摘要: A macroporous silica-based silver loaded adsorbent was synthesized by grafting the silver complexes of thiourea (Ag(tu)3NO3) into a silica-based copolymer support (SiO2-P). The adsorbent was used to uptake iodide anions (I-) by batch and column techniques. The kinetic and saturated adsorption experiments were carried out by varying the shaking times and initial concentration of I-. The experiments found that the kinetic adsorption of I- was controlled by a pseudo second order model and the saturated adsorption of I- was controlled by the chemisorption mechanism, which followed a Langmuir adsorption equation. The breakthrough curve of I- had a S-shaped profile. The column efficiency was estimated to be over 90%.

摘要: The influence of acetate on U(VI) sorption on silica from aqueous solutions was studied at pH 27 by complementary experimental methods of macroscopic measurement, spectroscopic investigation and thermodynamic calculation. Sorption percentage of U(VI) in the absence and in the presence of different acetate concentrations was determined by batch sorption procedures. Attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infra-red spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) was used to elucidate the mechanisms of uranyl sorption on silica in the presence of acetate, by investigating, in-situ, the changes in the U(VI) sorption on silica surface in presence of ligand: the absorption bands of carboxylate (COO) in the range 13001700 cm-1 and those around 850950 cm-1 of uranyl species as(UO2) are followed. The decrease of U(VI) sorption with increasing acetate concentration was observed. Sorption of U(VI)-acetate (U-Ac) species on silica surface was demonstrated for the first time. ATR-FTIR investigations clearly evidenced the absorption bands characteristic of sorbed U-Ac complexes both from the acetate and uranyl spectral regions those the wavenumbers correspond to sorbed species. No sequence effect of acetate and uranyl on the sorption on silica in ternary systems U(VI)-acetate-silica was observed from the sorption data. From the ATR-FTIR investigations, we can induce that the sorption of U-Ac leads to chemical equilibria and makes possible the modeling of sorption isotherms by surface complexation models. The related thermodynamic constants were modeled using CCM surface complexation modeling.

摘要: The electrochemical properties of perrhenate were studied in hydrochloric acid solution via cyclic voltammetry by disk glassy carbon electrode. The electroreduction of perrhenate was performed at a constant potential -0.33 V (vs. Ag/AgCl) with a potentiostat by a flow type electrolysis cell. It was found that the change of rhenium ion concentration before and after electrolysis was negligible. This means almost no rhenium or rhenium oxides were deposited on the carbon fiber electrode during the electroreduction. The rhenium ion solution changed from colorless into yellow-brown after electrolysis process. UV-Visible spectrophotometry was used to characterize the oxidation states of Re before and after electrolysis. Some obvious peaks were detected after electrolysis, indicating that Re(VII) was reduced to Re(V). The complex behavior and stability of Re(V)-HEDP were discussed for the purpose of electroreduction of Re(VII) or Tc(VII) on radiopharmaceuticals production.

摘要: A new anion exchanger with pyridine groups was prepared by grafting of 2-vinyl pyridine onto polypropylene (PP) nonwoven fabrics by pre-irradiation grafting technique, followed by quaternization of pyridine rings in grafted chains in reaction with bromoethane. The results showed that the grafting yield increased with the monomer concentration and conversion ratio of quaternization increased with the time. The grafted and quaternized fabrics were characterized by FT-IR, DSC, SEM and ICP. The possibility of adsorption of perrhenate (ReO4-), a nonradioactive analogue to pertechnetate (99TcO4-), from aqueous solution by anion exchanger was investigated. The experiments performed at pH= 0.16 showed that pH=2.2 was the optimal acidity for ReO4- adsorption, and an adsorption equilibrium was achieved in 30 min. The reaction enthalpy was -12.55 kJ/mol, indicating that the adsorption process is exothermic. XPS tests indicated that the ReO4- uptake was a typical ion exchange between Cl- on anion exchanger and ReO4-.

摘要: The properties of a Lanthanum bromide (LaBr3) detector and its response functions were investigated via experiments and simulations in this paper. The LaBr3 detector had good relative energy resolution and higher efficiency than a high-purity germanium detector. Monte Carlo and other numerical methods were used to calculate the efficiencies of a LaBr3 detector with a square collimation window. A model of the numerical method was established based on a pure geometric model that was consistent with the experimental situation. The results showed that the detector response functions calculated by these methods were in great agreement with experimental results.

摘要: The AP1000 with high safety is a generation III pressurized water reactor (PWR), its significant feature is passive safety system. However, its passive cooling can only maintain for 72 h and requires additional support from inside or outside the plant. To solve this problem, this study utilized the WGOTHIC software to calculate and analyze the water inventory in the passive containment cooling water tank under different conditions. The results show that when the cooling water inventory is 6553.78 m3, the AP1000 nuclear power plants can achieve long-term, completely passive cooling without any inside or outside the plant. The same outcomes occur when 65-mm-thick containment wall increases the design pressure rating to 0.6 MPa at the cooling water inventory of 5673 m3. Also, the AP1000 shield building was accordingly improved. An ANSYS analysis of the structural stability of the shield building with a 6000 m3 cooling water inventory confirmed that the new design can meet the requirements of the seismic design and the safe residual heat removal requirements of a large-scale PWR.

摘要: In order to separate Zr(IV) and Hf(IV) in acidic solution, several kinds of silica-based macroporous adsorbents were synthesized. Their adsorption selectivity for Zr(IV) and Hf(IV) in HCl solution was investigated, and the TODGA adsorbent for the two elements had the largest adsorption difference. The effects of acid type, HCl concentration, and temperature on the adsorption behavior of Zr(IV) and Hf(IV) onto the TODGA adsorbent were conducted by batch experiments. It was found that H+ exhibited a quite strong influence on adsorption capacity of Zr(IV) and Hf(IV). Isotherm fitting showed that the Langmuir model agrees well with the experimental data. The thermodynamic parameters indicate that the adsorption processes for both elements are endothermic reactions. The TODGA adsorbent had the higher adsorption selectivity for Zr(IV) over Hf(IV) and could be promising for their mutual separation.
