概要

論文の詳細を見る
An observation system has been developed as a new instrumentation of TRACY (Transient Experiment Critical Facility) in order to observe the behavior of uranyl nitrate solution and radiolytic gas voids under criticality accident conditions. The system consists of a radiation-resistive optical fiberscope, a light source and a radiation-resistive video camera. The severe radiation environment in TRACY and safety functions as the primary boundary of TRACY were considered in the design of the system. The system has been successfully utilized in the recent TRACY experiments, and provided clear color motion pictures showing the behavior of the solution and radiolytic gas voids. As a result, it was visually confirmed that there is the difference in the behavior of the solution and radiolytic gas voids depending on the conditions of the reactivity addition. The system provides detailed information on the behavior of the solution and voids, and will contribute to the development of a computational kinetics model.
