Spent fuel reprocessing is of great significance to the nuclear fuel cycle and the sustainable development of nuclear energy. At the same time, nuclear security radiation incidents in the spent fuel reprocessing plant are also related to national personal and property safety, which play a pivotal role. In this paper, the spent fuel reprocessing plant is divided into four plant areas: the main process area, the three-waste area, the auxiliary equipment area, and the pre-plant area, which are further subdivided into 12 evaluation units. The expert scoring method is used to score and evaluate the possibility of eight basic nuclear accident types in each area, namely radioactive dispersal device, computer nuclear security, destruction of nuclear facilities, transportation nuclear security, internal threat, potential threat, illegal transfer, and theft. According to the professional titles, length of service, education and other qualifications of experts, different weights are assigned to the experts. The scoring results are applied to the Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) of nuclear security events as the probability of basic events, so as to obtain the risk of each basic event. At the same time, the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method and probability–mathematical statistics method are used to evaluate each evaluation unit to determine the risk of each evaluation unit and the plant area. There results show that the main process area has the highest risk degree, while the pre-plant area has the lowest risk degree, and there is a 1.5-fold relationship. This research provides theoretical and technical support for the safety management and operation of spent fuel reprocessing plants. The analysis results of this paper can be used as a reference for the proportion of nuclear security protection improvements in each plant area, so as to achieve an efficient safety protection effect. The research method in this paper can be also applicable to other similar places by providing as input the corresponding probability of occurrence to obtain the index of its risk degree, so as to reasonably allocate funds and manpower and reduce risks.
In this study, we propose a parallel processing method for analyzing video-image radiation-response signals and suppressing radiation noise. We studied the linear-representation law of various image-information components on the radiation dose rate. Subsequently, the simulation images were used to examine the response-signal extract and radiation-noise suppression. The results indicate that the majority of response signals in the global image comprise forward superposition. The peak signal-to-noise ratio of the red channel was significantly improved when the noise signal-substitution algorithm and median filter were applied successively. Real-time radiation dose-rate measurements and clear images under irradiation can be obtained simultaneously.
