The present invention relates to a technique for reducing the amount of cobalt-60 generated and suppressing the surface dose rate of recirculation piping by using materials with limited C 0 content. Figure 1 shows the dose rate increase mechanism. Cobalt eluted from the reactor equipment or brought in from the water supply system is removed by the reactor purification system, but it also adheres to the fuel rod surfaces. The cobalt attached to the fuel rod surface becomes cobalt-60 on the fuel rod surface through neutron irradiation, and this cobalt-60 is eluted into the reactor water. Cobalt-60, which was directly irradiated and activated in the materials used in the reactor equipment, is also leached into the reactor water. Cobalt-60 in this reactor water adheres to the primary system piping, increasing the dose rate. Since the area of the fuel spacer spring is not very large, the amount of cobalt eluted is small compared to other devices, but because it is located in a place with a high neutron flux distribution, the amount of cobalt-60 generated is the second highest after the high temperature heater tube. This is the main cause of the increase in dose rate. The purpose of the present invention is to reduce the amount of cobalt-60 generated from the fuel spacer spring, which is the main source of C 0 -60 elution in the reactor, and to suppress the plant dose rate due to cobalt-60 deposition. The main cause of the increase in the pipe surface dose rate is cobalt-60.
adhesion to piping. This adhesion to the piping is due to corrosion of the piping itself and cobalt in the reactor water that is in contact with the water.
It is becoming clear through various experiments and surveys that it is influenced by 60 concentration. The elution source and contribution rate of cobalt-60 in reactor water, which is one of the causes of the increase in the pipe surface dose rate, were analyzed. As a result, it was found that C 0 -60 was eluted from the surface of the fuel rods and from the reactor chambers. The contribution rate of the spacer spring was estimated to be equivalent to 20 μCi/month of C 0 leached from the reactor constituent materials, based on calculations of the amount of corrosion of the materials. It is easily understood that the amount of C 0 generated can be controlled by a method of suppressing corrosion elution of the material or by limiting the amount of C 0 contained in the material. However, the former
Since it is very difficult to prevent C 0 elution,
The latter method is more practical. In that case, the specification for the limit on the C 0 content was as follows. Table 2 shows the chemical composition of the Inconel material conventionally used for fuel spacer springs and the chemical composition of the Inconel material used in the present invention.
This shows the chemical composition of C 0 Inconel material.

[Table] By using low C0 Inconel material, which has a limit value for C content that was not previously specified, C0 -60 from the fuel spacer spring can be reduced.
The amount generated can be reduced to about 1/4 of the conventional amount, and the recirculation piping surface dose rate can be kept low. An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. Cooling water flowing into the reactor pressure vessel 2 through the water supply pipe 1 is heated by the fuel rods 4 within the reactor pressure vessel 2, becomes steam, and is sent to the main steam pipe 3. 6 is a recirculation pipe and has a pump 7. Furnace purification system piping 8 communicates recirculation piping 6 and water supply piping 1 . A pump 9 and a purification device 10 are provided in the furnace purification system piping 8. A small amount of cobalt, several ppt, is brought into the reactor pressure vessel from the water supply pipe 1, adheres to the fuel rods 4, becomes radioactive, becomes cobalt-60, and elutes into the reactor water again. Cobalt-60, which has been directly irradiated and turned into radioactive substances, is also eluted from the in-core equipment 5. Cobalt-60 in the reactor water adheres to the primary system piping, such as the recirculation piping 6, and is the main cause of the increase in dose rate. Reducing cobalt-60 in the reactor water is important for suppressing the increase in dose rate. It has already been considered that the amount of cobalt brought in from the water supply pipe 1 can be reduced by using low-cobalt-containing stainless steel or titanium material for the high-temperature heater tube, which is the main source of cobalt. Therefore, as the next measure, it is necessary to reduce cobalt-60 elution from the furnace equipment 5. The fuel spacer spring accounts for a large proportion of the cobalt-60 eluted in the reactor equipment 5. Conventionally, Inconel material containing a large amount of cobalt 6 has been used for this fuel spacer spring, but in the present invention, Inconel material with a cobalt content limited to 0.05% or less is used. According to this example, the amount of C 0 -60 eluted from the fuel spacer spring is
It can be reduced by about 1/4 from 26 Ci/mo to 7 Ci/mo, and the recirculation pipe surface dose rate becomes as shown by broken line 2 in Figure 4, which is a reduction of about 10 mR/h. As a result, the amount of radiation exposure to workers during maintenance and inspection of the recirculation system, furnace purification system, etc. can be significantly reduced.
Incidentally, Table 2 shows a preferred chemical composition of Inconel with limited C 0 content according to the present invention. According to the present invention, since the amount of cobalt-60 generated from the fuel spacer spring can be significantly reduced, the plant dose rate can be significantly suppressed.
