Present stage, applications and future prospects of on-line control in spent fuel processing plants

Description

Apparatus more currently used in France for on-line control in spent fuel processing plants are presented. Most of such apparatus were developed from the 'Services d'Electronique de Saclay' of the French Atomic Energy Commission (CEA), for physical, physico-chemical, and radiometric measurements. The applications of on-line sensors are illustrated by the automatic control system of the third stage of purification in the pilot plant at Marcoule. Some devices in project or on testing are also described, which are intended for isotope determination in decontaminated uranium solutions (0.4mCiγ/kg), or determination of U and Pu contents in solutions or of U trace amounts in wastes (1mgl-1)

Abstract (French)

On presente les principaux appareils utilises en France pour le 'controle en ligne' dans les usines de retraitement des combustibles irradies. La plupart de ces appareils ont ete concus ou fabriques par les Services d'Electronique de Saclay (CEA) pour les mesures physiques, physico-chimiques et radiometriques. On illustre les applications des capteurs en ligne par l'exemple de conduite automatique du troisieme cycle de purification de l'uranium de l'atelier pilote de Marcoule. On decrit quelques dispositifs en projet ou en essais destines aux mesures isotopiques des solutions d'uranium decontaminees (0,4mCiγ/kg), ou d'U et de Pu des solutions ou encore des traces d'U dans les rejets (1mgl-1)
