The method of common fuel failure on-line monitoring is greatly influenced by external factors,but the online quantitative analysis with specific activity of key fission product nuclide in γ energy spectrum is a reliable fuel failure method.In this paper,for LaBr3 (Ce) of a new type monitor,a fuel failure simulation experiment was designed,and the escape fission products was analyzed using HPGe and LaBr3 Ce) detectors respectively.Through the nuclide analysis results at different cooling time,it was determined the135Xe,88Kr,138Xe,88Rb,138Cs and so on can be used as the key nuclides for γ energy spectrum method of LaBr3 (Ce).At the same time,four groups of radioactive standard solutions including 60Co,137Cs,133Ba,241Am,152Eu,109Cd,88Y,57Co and 24Na were prepared,the energy range was 250keV to 2400keV,The efficiency of LaBr3 (Ce) online monitor was calibrated on the established solution circulation calibration device.Finally,in an abnormal situation of reactor,The results of the calibrated LaBr3 (Ce) are in agreement with the results of sampling analysis of the HPGe spectrometer.It indicated that the efficiency calibration result is accurate and the calibration method is reliable.
