Description

In order to perform the start-up of the pressurized water reactor (PWR) for the 300 MWe Qinshan Nuclear Power Plant, a pair of primary source rods with 210 Po-Be nuclear sources were made successfully. The total neutron emission was 3.0x108 n/s and the dimensions of the source rod were 10mm in diameter and 3173 mm long. The characteristics of the source core (210 Po-Be source) and source rod technology are presented. A new production line has been established and the approved source rod technology has been used. The principal parameters of a pair of source rod were measured and it appears that they were up to or superior to the technical specifications. 2 tabs., 3 figs
