The project "Research and Development of HIC Waste Package Radioactivity Measurement Equipment" was successfully launched.

On February 17, 2023, the National Nuclear Safety Center, Yangjiang Nuclear Power Co., Ltd. (referred to as "Yangjiang Nuclear Power"), Tsinghua University, and Tsinghua University Tianjin High-end Equipment Research Institute (referred to as "Tsinghua Tianjin Equipment Institute") passed online and offline The combination of meetings held the "HIC Waste Package Radioactivity Measurement Equipment Research and Development" project kick-off meeting. Professor Sheng Xuan Yu of Tsinghua University and relevant leaders of the National Nuclear Safety Center attended the offline meeting in Conference Room A507 of Li Zhaoji Building of Tsinghua University. Chen Junwei, project leader of Yangjiang Nuclear Power and Advanced Energy Equipment Technology Research Institute of our institute (hereinafter referred to as "Advanced Energy Institute") participated in the online exchange and discussion.
At the meeting, Yang Bao of Advanced Energy Institute introduced in detail the structural scheme and progress of the equipment. Around the equipment development, the relevant responsible persons at the meeting discussed in detail the technical scheme, measurement methods, measurement requirements and other matters, the first phase of the work is progressing smoothly.

Overview of R & D equipment
According to the research data, the advanced energy institute of our hospital has mastered the structure and operation principle of the equipment, and carried out the first version of the scheme design and demonstration work. The equipment is divided into three systems: turntable system, movable probe table system, collimator table system. These three systems are accurately combined through automatic control, and coordinate with each other to complete the activity detection of radioactive waste packages.

                                                                               
Overall drawing of equipment

In the future, the detection equipment will be applied to commercial large-scale pressurized water reactor nuclear power plants to detect the activity of solid radioactive waste. Such equipment is currently imported from abroad, has not yet formed a mature domestic products. The use of this equipment will realize the domestic substitution of similar products in China, reduce procurement costs and operation and maintenance costs, and can be popularized and applied to similar imported products of major commercial nuclear power plants, so as to realize the independent control of high-end nuclear power equipment in China.
