Study on the feasibility of dynamic rod worth measurement using fission chamber detector signal in HPR1000
The control rod worth measurement is one of the most important items during the reactor physical startup tests. Currently the dynamic rod worth measurement (DRWM) based on the signal from non-gamma compensated ion chamber is generally applied on worldwide nuclear power plants, which results in the temporary unavailability of one power range detector and possible insufficiency of zero power physical test range. The fission chamber detector with broader measuring range can transmit effective signal to the digital control system and makes it possible to be applied on the DRWM technique. The calculation model of the HPR1000 ex-core fission chamber detector signal and also the corresponding DRWM spatial-correction factors are built based on OpenMC and PCM and the verification of the calculation model is launched using the measured data from the first cycle of FANGCHENGGANG Unit 3 and Unit 4. The result shows that the calculated and measured variation of current during insertion of control rod are consistent and the DRWM control rod worth using fission chamber detector signals agrees well with that using power range detector signals as well as the theoretical prediction, which proves the feasibility to apply fission chamber detector signals in DRWM.
