The present invention relates to a nuclear power plant which has a water chemistry control system for a primary cooling system thereof and, in particular, to a water chemistry control system of a boiling water reactor primary cooling system for preventing corrosion damage of structural material used therein to make its life long.
The invention can be applied to industrial fields in which water chemistry control is necessary, such as various power plants, chemical plants and so on.
In a water chemistry control system, first of all, water chemistry is evaluated, and then an agent for mitigating corrosion damage is injected into the water to be controlled according to the evaluation result.
(a) By measurement of concentration of dissolved oxygens, hydrogens, hydrogen peroxides;
In a nuclear reactor primary cooling system, core water is subjected to strong irradiation such as neutrons, gamma rays, so that radicals as well as corrosive oxygens and hydrogen peroxides are formed. Hitherto, after the primary cooling water was cooled once, the concentration of dissolved oxygens, hydrogens and hydrogen peroxides were measured by a conventional measuring device. In this method, the hydrogen peroxides are decomposed during the cooling process and balance between components changes, so that there was a problem that correct water chemistry could not be measured even if the primary cooling system was limited to recirculation pipings. At present there is no measuring device which can be used under an environment of high temperature and high radiation exposure.
(b) By an electro-chemical potential (ECP) meter.
SCC (stress corrosion cracking) sensibility of material is correlated to ECP as shown in FIG. 2. There are many attempts in which a corrosion environment is directly monitored by submerging an ECP meter into reactor water. FIG. 3 shows results of direct measurement in a US Duan Arnold furnace. It is noted from the results that a water chemistry environment changes remarkably according to measured portions of a nuclear reactor primary cooling system.
(c) By monitoring of cracking propagation:
A method is being widely taken in which test pieces cracked in advance are submerged in reactor water, and then the cracking propagation rate is electrically measured. A typical example of a device for this method is a DCB (Double Cantilever Beam) sensor which is shown in JP A 4-93698 (1992). A sensor of type shown in JP A 3-146900 (1991) also is proposed.
Examples of outputs from the DCB sensors provided in a real core and a recirculation line are shown in FIG. 4. It is noted that change in outputs from the DCB sensor disposed in the core is larger than that in outputs from the DCB sensor disposed in the recirculation line, which means that a corrosion environment in the core is severe.
(d) By a high temperature electric conductivity meter:
A method, in which this meter or sensor is used, is to cancel electrode surface resistance by using three electrodes in an alternate current method and measure only solution resistance. A typical example is shown in JP A 1-53146 (1989).
(e) By a chemical state measuring device of radioactive nitrogen 13 (13 N) in main steam:
The device can measure the concentration of radioactive nitrogen 13 in main steam condensate on each of anions, cations and neutral components. The device shown in JP A 4-93698 (1992) is best.
2. Reactor water chemistry mitigation technique:
Stress corrosion cracking (SCC) of nuclear reactor structural material occurs only when three factors of the SCC, that is to say, material, water chemistry and stress are unfavorable. Therefore, SCC occurrence can be prevented by keeping the dissolved oxygens in the reactor water in a low level. On this ground, hydrogen injection into the reactor water is tried in many boiling water reactors recently. However, in this method, a radiation dose rate in a main steam line increases rapidly when it becomes over a threshold, as shown in FIG. 6, and the concentration of oxygens and hydrogen peroxides has a large variation by plant design, operational conditions and existence of impurities in the water as shown in FIG. 6, so that simple estimated of the water chemistry is difficult.
It is possible to calculate, with some extent of preciseness, concentration distribution of water decomposition products according to a hydrogen injection amount. In fact, a control method in which a suitable injection amount is decided for each plant by using calculation codes, and fitting calculated parameters to accord them with measured values is proposed in JP A 61-86688 (1986). The number of parameters is huge, and huge work is necessary for fitting. Further, it is not always assured that its solution can be obtained. Still further, the concentration of impurities in the reactor water is not fixed during operation. For the above reasons, the control method is not necessarily practical.
As mentioned above, new sensors for water chemistry evaluation are being developed one after another, and it is forecast that the kinds and the numbers of sensors increase in future. Evaluation preciseness of the reactor water chemistry is improved, however, it is impossible at present and also in future to arrange sensors for water chemistry measurement all over the region of the primary cooling system, and it is forecast that the condition that a part of area to be evaluated must depend on estimated will continue. As pieces of information increase, it becomes difficult how to use the information. It is not fixed even at present how to use what sensor at what position. Further, it is forecasted that various changes in a water chemistry standard will occur as its study progresses. Namely, water chemistry control of nuclear reactors always has fate such that it must be optimized using incomplete information and according to a temporary standard. It is not economical to reproduce a hardware at each time when new sensing technique and standard are established, so that a flexible hardware for totally judging information and determining control parameters and quantity of water chemistry is required. This kind of construction which is easily receivable of various software for arithmetic operation and processing concerning each sensed information is required.
An object of the invention is to secure a method for estimating and evaluating water chemistry in a reactor core, in a primary cooling system and therearound with high preciseness, and to provide a sensor system which is necessary to enable suitable water chemistry control on the basis of the estimated evaluation result.
An evaluation standard for water chemistry can not established by a single sensor for sensing water chemistry because sensors used for evaluation of the reactor water chemistry have various error factors. An increase of kinds of sensors does not lead to substantial solution due to the following error factors, and a real solution is required.
1) Error factors of corrosion environment evaluation in a reactor primary cooling system:
In a boiling water reactor primary cooling system as shown in FIG. 7, cooling water is exposed to a strong irradiation field in the core, so that water is decomposed to form various kinds of molecules, ions and radicals such as H2, O2, H2 O2, HO2, HO2 ions, H, OH, H ions, OH ions, hydration electrons, etc., which influence on corrosion of material used therein. Most of gaseous molecules such as hydrogens and oxygens of these water decomposition products transfer in a boiling channel of the core 9 in steam phase and are produced or recombined according to a dose rate at each portion of the reactor primary cooling system, so that distribution of the concentration of hydrogens or hydrogen peroxides is formed in the primary cooling system.
Recently, in order to improve a corrosion environment by controlling reactor water chemistry, a method is taken in which hydrogens of reducing agent are injected to reduce the concentration of dissolved oxygens. However, concentration distribution is formed in the primary cooling system even during injection of hydrogens for the above-mentioned reasons. Products by radiolysis of water can be evaluated by quantatively analyzing production of each component, chemical reaction between the components, and mass transfer of gaseous components in the boiling channel of the core. In FIG. 8, the calculation results are illustrated in which a water chemistry environment at a core inlet, a by-pass channel outlet or exit and a boiling channel of the core is functions of the concentration of hydrogens in the feed water. From the figure it is noted that a main decomposition product of water is hydrogen peroxide, and judging from the hydrogen peroxide concentration or effective oxygen concentration which is defined here by (O2 +H2 O2 /2=O2 *), most severe condition is at the boiling channel inlet, next at the by-pass channel outlet and a core inlet in turn except for when hydrogens added are a little. The above calculation results qualitatively agree with ECP values in the core shown in FIG. 3. From environmental viewpoint simply, if an environment at the boiling channel can be reduced in the effective oxygen concentration to a preferable level, a favorable environment can be secured at any other position in the primary cooling system. However, practically, almost all of injected hydrogens are released into the air at the boiling channel, so that it is difficult to sufficiently suppress the release of the hydrogens. On the other hand, the boiling channel has only fuel rods and fuel assemblies which are easily exchangeable and are not of structural material, so that countermeasure is not necessarily required. Further, an upper lattice plate 12 and a lower lattice plate 11 are included in the by-pass channel, and the upper lattice plate 11 can not be exchanged. Therefore, the most practically important evaluation point is at the core inlet 11. A shroud 14 over an upper plenum 13 supports an upper construction of the core, so that environment evaluation on this portion of the core is important.
2) Error factor of ECP
It is known that IGSCC (inter granular SCC) can be suppressed by controlling ECP of nuclear reactor structural material such as SUS 304 to be less than a certain value of base potential. However, recently, it is pointed out that the boundary potential changes on the basis of coexisting impurity ions. Therefore, it is necessary to take, in advance, account of that correlation between the ECP and IGSCC changes according to mechanical conditions such as water chemistry, material, water flow, etc. It is necessary to establish a system in which new knowledge can be taken in the water chemistry standard and its value is decided by taking in a plurality of measured values.
3) Correlation between conductivity and cracking propagation rate of material:
In General, crack propagation rate of material is correlated by the concentration and conductivity of acid components in water and conductivity. However, according to recent experimental results, the crack propagation rate changes remarkably according to kinds of additives as shown in FIG. 9, and there is an additive such as nitric acid which presents a little slow crack propagation rate than pure water. Further, according to an experiment conducted by the inventors, under an environment of Gamma ray irradiation, it is known that the crack propagation rate changes remarkably depending on kinds of ions in water even when the water has the same conductivity and the dissolved oxygen concentration, as shown in FIG. 10.
As mentioned above, irrespective of inherent error factors, new water chemistry sensors have been developed, whereby reliability of water chemistry evaluation is raised. However, on the contrary, even a fundamental idea how to control the water chemistry , using information from the sensors is not fixedly established although it is very important and inevitable to establish the technique. Problem is in that a fundamental idea how to direct characteristics of an individual sensor to the control has not been proposed.
A principal construction of the invention is explained hereunder, referring to FIG. 1.
In FIG. 1, sensor groups 1, 2 are arranged in different locations or portions of a primary cooling system such as a feed water line, a recirculation line, a reactor pressure vessel, main steam lines, etc. Each of the sensor groups 1,2 is individually connected to a recording, alarm generation device 3, whereby recording and alarm generation can be effected. The sensor group 1 which is used for always monitoring is connected to an arithmetic unit processing unit 6 through a switch 4, whereby it is confirmed that a monitored value is within a proper range through injection of an agent for mitigating corrosion damage by an injector 7. The other sensor groups 2 can be used stand alone or by being connected to the arithmetic unit 6 with switches 5 being closed, when necessary.
First of all, when any abnormality appears in the monitored values by the sensor group 1, the abnormality is analyzed using a data base 7, etc. When the result reaches to the conclusion that the concentration of the agent is desirable to be changed, a portion in which the largest change in water chemistry will occur when an injection amount of the agent is changed or a portion in which conditions on corrosion damage will be most severe is estimated, and limits for increasing and decreasing the agent are decided.
When the injection amount of the agent is changed according to the decision of the increment or the decrement, the sensor group at the portion estimated above are connected to the arithmetic unit 6, and the water chemistry is controlled while monitoring so that a measured value or estimated value of a standard water chemistry factor will be a standard value.
According to this water chemistry control system, even a new sensor and a new water chemistry standard can be applied properly and promptly to the system, and improvement of preciseness in evaluation and control as a whole is possible while compensating errors inherent in individual sensor.
A target of the water chemistry control is a standard water quantity at a standard place which will be called as a standard target here. The standard quantity is a measurable quantity or an immeasurable quantity obtained through calculation from the measurable quantity. For the standard target, a threshold value is set for judging whether or not any countermeasures are required. It is desirable for the standard target to select physical or chemical property values which are universal and do not depend on a specific sensor, whereby it becomes unnecessary to change the standard each time a new sensor is developed and all the sensors can contribute to improvement of evaluation preciseness of the standard target. For monitored quantities other than the standard target, a threshold value is provided for judging whether or not monitoring should be strengthened. The immeasurable standard target is estimated on the basis of outputs from a sensor group necessary to estimate.
By using a sensor group of kind and position by which evaluation errors to a predetermined standard target become minimum as a continual monitoring sensor group for always monitoring, and by evaluating quantatively the standard target, outputs of various sensors each of which has many error factors are synthesized or totalized, and water chemistry control of high reliability can be effected.

(A) In case of water chemistry control on the basis of measured values:
When a standard target is measurable and a measured value has a high reliability, at least a sensor group as measure the standard target is plant process monitors for always monitoring (a standard sensor group), and the other sensor group or groups are used for evaluation of reliability of the measured value of the standard target. When reliability is low even if it is possible to measure, the standard sensor group is used for backup. A sensor group including sensors of high reliability the outputs of which are changeable proportionally to change in the standard target becomes a plant process sensor group for fixedly monitoring a plant process.
An example of the arrangement of the sensors for control by synthetic sensor groups is illustrated in FIG. 11.
In FIG. 11, in a reactor pressure vessel, a small sized sensor group 23 is arranged in a core by-pass channel using a neutron measuring instrument pipe or LPRM pipe 22, for example. Outside the reactor, other sensor groups such as a main steam line sensor group 28, a reactor water clean-up sensor group 29, a feed water line sensor group 30 are arranged in a portion of a recirculation line 10 having a reactor water clean-up system 24, a main steam line 16, etc. for instance. An agent for mitigating corrosion damage, for example, hydrogens are produced in a hydrogen producing apparatus 26 and stored in a hydrogen storage tank 27. Outputs of the sensor groups 23, 28, 29, 30 are taken in an arithmetic unit 6 through an interface 25. A reference number 21 designates a condenser connected to a steam turbine 17, and a reference number 19 is a feed pump.
The sensors 23 in the core can be disposed at any positions thereof, however, the position of a lower lattice plate 11 which is difficult to exchange and disposed to a relatively severe water chemistry environment or an upper lattice plate 12 which is representative of the most severe environment to corrosion damage is preferable. In this embodiment, a crack propagation rate measured by a DCB sensor provided at a core inlet portion 12 of the upper lattice plate is taken as a standard target. As sensors provided simultaneously, an electro-chemical potential meter, potential meter of Pt group electrode, a conductivity meter, etc. are preferable.
In case any abnormality appears in the values indicated by the crack propagation monitor, and when it is an error signal, the possibility that it may be caused by mechanical damage or insulation damage is high, so that it should be considered that reliability of signals from sensors contained in the same sensor group is low. In this case, in order to evaluate whether or not the abnormal value is true, information from the sensor group 28 of the main steam line used stand-alone sensors until now and the sensor group of the recirculation line 10 is introduced into the arithmetic unit 6, wherein a sensor, which is changeable if the signal from the standard sensor is correct, is selected from knowledge information stored in the data base 7 and monitoring of these sensors is strengthened. In case change as forecasted really appears or in case any contradiction is not appear between outputs of the sensors which are obtained by extending a normal plant process monitoring range, sensor outputs of the standard sensor group can be taken to be true, so that information from the standard sensor group and other sensor group is put together to estimated a cause thereof and an amount of hydrogens to be injected is incremented or decremented if necessary.
In this case, as will be described later in an item (1), a margin of the concentration of hydrogens until dose rate of main steam starts to increase is evaluated from a component N in the main steam, whether the concentration of hydrogens to be injected should be incremented or decremented within this range of the margin is decided. Further, although it is not illustrated, since the state of reducing agent changes in reactor water by reaction with water decomposition products, in some cases an amount of injection thereof is desirable to measure at an injection point of the feed water line, if possible, in a stage before mixing with primary cooling water.
In case reliability of measured values of the standard target is low, the sensor group 29 provided in the recirculation line 10, for instance, becomes a plant process monitoring sensor group for always monitoring the plant process. As the sensor, a crack propagation monitor, an ECP meter, the conductivity sensor, a Pt potential meter (described later in item (2)), a pH meter, a chromic acid meter (described later in item (3)) by such as an ion chromato, etc., carboxylic acid concentration meter described later in item (4) are suitable.
FIG. 12 shows a logic flow of the water chemistry control in the above-mentioned system. In this system, in case change appears only in the ECP and the Pt potential meter, but no change in the other sensors, there may be the possibility that the concentration of oxygens or hydrogen peroxides in the reactor water increases. Further, when conductivity increases and pH turns to an acid side, it is estimated by various factors that sulfuric acid, nitric acid, carboxylic acid, etc. are formed in the reactor water. When the nitric acid is mixed in the reactor water, it is forecasted that any change appears in output of the standard sensor, so that monitoring of the standard sensor is strengthened. Those are in steps 121 to 123. Under these conditions, if any change in the standard sensor appears, output of the standard sensor can be considered to be sufficiently reliable, so that the cause is estimated in step 124 and any countermeasures for the water chemistry can be taken if necessary in steps 125, 126. If the change in output of the standard sensor Group is forecasted to impact the structural material (step 127), it is examined that there is any change in the DCB sensor in step 128. In steps 129,130, influence evaluation at various points of the reactor is effected, and hydrogen injection amount change is evaluated. The water chemistry is controlled according to the estimation.
(B) In case of water chemistry control on the basis of estimated values:
In case immeasurable estimation values are taken as a standard target, a sensor Group for always monitoring are taken or selected from sensors provided in a plurality of lines. The standard target is estimated by outputs from the sensors of these lines.
The estimating method is as follow:
Water chemistry analysis results according to various injection amounts of hydrogens for each power plant are stored in the data base for each part of each primary cooling system. Let assume that a standard target is the concentration of hydrogen peroxides at the bottom of the core, for example. This hydrogen peroxide concentration here is immeasurable by present technique.
Let assume that the plant process monitoring sensor group is the water chemistry sensor group 29 provided in the recirculation line out of the core shown in FIG. 11. Effective oxygen concentration O2 * at a measuring point can be attained by measuring individually O2, H2 O2 or by outputs from the Pt potential meter, the EPC on SUS 304 steel.
Calculated values of O2 * concentration in the recirculation line stored in the data base 7 are not necessarily agreed with a value which is an indication for hydrogen injection amount. This is for the reason that the calculation results depends largely on plant constant (does rate distribution etc.) which is not necessarily correctly evaluated.
However, if the concentration at a specific portion of the primary cooling system is already known, correlation between these results and calculation results of water chemistry at other portion is relatively reliable. As shown in FIG. 13, analytical solutions agreed with oxidation components at the measured point such as O2, H2 O2 or O2 * are found out from the data base, and the concentration distribution including the analytical solutions is taken as a correct concentration distribution. In this case it is important point of the invention that compatibility between measured value and calculated value of concentration for reducing substance such as hydrogen is ignored, whereby logic of water chemistry control which has been proposed can be simplified drastically. If there is not any solutions concerning oxidation components, strictly accorded with required values, a distribution can be attained by an interpolation method. A representative value is decided by a method of average, election of larger value, for example, further, a part of contribution of H2 O2 to O2 * is obtained from the calculation result by a proportional distribution, a value obtained thus is a estimated value of hydrogen peroxide in the core bottom.
An amount of hydrogen injection is adjusted so that this value will be a set value.
A control flow chart is shown in FIG. 14.
Further, when the standard target is electrochemical potential and crack propagation rate (da/dt) of material at a position at which measurement is impossible, the EPC and sensibility evaluation concerning da/dt are obtained on the basis of calculation based on plant information representative of the following 4 items and data base resembled to a real machine;
a) kinds of structural material;
b) flow rate at a noticed point;
c) γ ray intensity at a noticed point; and
d) neutron intensity at a noticed point.
Here, the kinds of structural material of the above 4 items include data in which over-voltage in electron-transfer reaction of water decomposition products on the material surface and sensitivity concerning crack propagation are main. The flow rate includes data relating to compensation rate of oxidation reduction species and dispersion layers. The γ ray intensity includes data concerning kinds and concentrations of water decomposition products. The neutron intensity includes data concerning material properties in which data of sensitization of structural material are main.
A fundamental logic of the electro-chemical potential meter is a hybrid potential theory on the basis of electro-chemical reaction of water decomposition products on the structural material surface. This theory is based on cell reaction in which at least 2 kinds of oxidation and reduction reactions are paired, and it is the theory that potential at which each oxidation reaction rate and each reduction reaction rate become equal to each other is potential of the entire system, that is, hybrid potential, and kinetic handling is necessary.
The kinetics is based on the handling in which the following absolute reaction velocity equation concerning the simplest electron transfer reaction is fundamental. Namely it is based on reaction of oxygen reduction pair on a structural surface.
i=i0 [(Cx/Cx0)exp(αnFη/RT)-(Cy/Cy0)exp(-(1-α)nFη/RT] (1)
wherein i is current density representative of electron transfer velocity on a structural material surface,
i0 is exchange current density on the structural material,
Cx is the concentration of reaction species X of structural material surface,
Cx0 is the bulk concentration of X,
α is transition coefficient to oxidation direction
n is reaction electron number,
F is Faraday's constant,
θ is over-voltage,
R is a constant of gas,
T is absolute temperature,
Cy is the concentration of reaction species Y,
Cy0 is bulk concentration of Y.
Here, η is as follows:
wherein E is potential of the structural material when electron transfer reaction velocity is measured with current density i, and E0 is balanced potential. The over-voltage η has different values according to kinds of structural material even if the same reaction species are taken, its measurement is effected in advance in an experimental room, experimental furnace. Here the same handling on paired oxidation reduction reactions is taken fundamentally, potential E at which each current density representative of each electron transfer reaction velocity is equal is obtained. This common potential E is potential at which velocity in the oxidation direction and in the reduction in a so-called paired oxidation reduction system becomes equal, the is hybrid potential. Cx/Cx0, Cy/Cy0 are expressed by the following equation,
Cx/Cx0 =1-i/i+ (2)
wherein i+ is limit current concerning oxidation direction of the reaction equation (1).
Cy/Cy0 =1-i/i- (3)
wherein i- is limit current concerning reduction direction of the reaction equation (1).
Limit current density relating to oxidation direction and reduction direction includes diffusion coefficient, diffusion layer thickness of each reaction species and information of flow rate relates to limit current, that is, to a feed rate of reaction substances on boundary of structural material.
Thus values are parameters to be experimentally determined in a advance on the basis of values of Cx0, Cy0 obtained by calculation of water decomposition products. By the process of obtaining this hybrid potential, electro-chemical potential of structural material disposed to each environment can be mapped. An evaluation method of crack propagation sensitivity of structural material at a position where a crack sensor can not be installed is to estimate on the basis of values of which in situ data of a DCB sensor can not be obtained, on the basis of the electro-chemical potential obtained by the above-mentioned steps, neutron irradiation amount and sensitivity corresponding to the neutron irradiation amount, flow rate at a noticed point γ rays intensity.
FIG. 15 shows algorithm for estimating the electro-chemical potential and the stress corrosion cracking sensibility (da/dt) at positions where measurement can not be effected.
In step 151, the ECP, da/dt to be calculated are determined. The concentration of radiolysis products is calculated on the basis of γ ray intensity, flow rate, etc. in steps 152, 153. Over-voltage, transition coefficient, each diffusion coefficient, reaction electron numbers until it reaches to controlled velocity, reaction electron numbers of the entire reaction, electrode reaction velocity constant, diffusion layer thickness, etc. in an electro-chemical reaction concerning oxygens, hydrogen peroxides of noticed material are inserted in hybrid potential calculation code on the basis of the absolute reaction velocity equation concerning electrode reactions, set in advance, whereby the electro-chemical potential is obtained in steps 154, 155. da/dt is estimated on the basis of the obtained electro-chemical potential and a data base of experimental room experimental furnace using the sensibility of material by neutron irradiation, radiolysis product concentration, and conductivity of the core water in step 156.
FIG. 16 shows a flow chart in case a portion to be protected in the core at which measurement and monitoring can not be effected is protected by injection of hydrogens, using material/environment parameters obtained on the basis of the algorithm shown in FIG. 15.
In FIG. 16, first of all, an objective portion is set in step 161, and then measured data from the sensors, the concentration of water decomposition, electro-chemical potential and parameters necessary to obtain da/dt are inputted in a step 162, 163, whereby dissolved oxygen concentration, peroxide concentration, electro-chemical potential, da/dt, at the objective portion are estimated in step 164 and outputted or displayed in step 165. When the estimated value such as da/dt is acceptable compared with a standard value in step 166, a hydrogen injection rate is fixed as it is in step 168, and when it is not acceptable in step 166, the hydrogen injection rate is changed until each of the values satisfy the standard value in step 167.
New element techniques supporting the invention are explained hereunder.
(1) Control on the basis of chemical state of radioactive nitrogen in the main steam:
The chemical state of radioactive nitrogen influences corrosion environment of a core and decides ratio of anions cations and neutral substances. When hydrogens which are used in many cases as an agent for mitigating corrosion damage are injected, it is known that dose rate of a turbine system rises by an increase in 13 N in the main steam. Although the increase in 13 N in the main steam occurs by various causes, its sign can be known by ratio of anions, cations and neutral substances in 13 N in the main steam.
As shown in FIG. . 17, a specific component of 13 N such as nitrous acid increases uniformly according to an increase of hydrogens, changes to cations at a certain concentration, and from here dose rate of the main steam also starts to increase. Accordingly, by always monitoring an absolute quantity of the component or a relative relation to other components, a margin of an hydrogen injection amount within which the dose rate of the main steam does not increase can be estimated. Further, as shown in FIG. 18, by measuring a specific ratio of 13 N components (cation 13 N/total 13 N in the figure), calculation conditions satisfying the ratio can be adapted as a estimated value of water environment at a core inlet.
(2) Control on the basis of potential of inert metal:
For ECP, electrode reaction accompanying solution and precipitation is included, however, since electrode potential of Pt etc. corresponds to only dissolved components in the water, the electrode potential influences mainly the concentrations of hydrogens and hydrogen peroxides.
(3) The concentration of Cr ions in core water change according to a water chemistry environment (mainly an oxidations reduction environment). Namely, when any agent for mitigating corrosion damage is not injected, Cr is dissolved in the core water in a form of oxide ion. When hydrogens, that is, the agents for mitigating corrosion damage are injected, Cr changes in form of undissolved oxide. It is known that the concentration decreases in a real plant also, as shown in the following table, in which water chemistry data in Ringhals-1 reactor at a hydrogen injection test are listed-as follows:

Further, when the hydrogen injection is stopped, there appears the change that Cr ion concentration increases more than before the hydrogen injection at approximately the same time as the dissolved oxygen concentration increases. Accordingly, at the stage in which an amount of hydrogen injection is determined from dissolved oxygen concentration, crack propagation rate, Cr ion concentration in the core water is sensed under the hydrogen injecting condition and a standard target is set by adding a correction value corresponding to a measurement error to the sensed value. After the standard target is set, the Cr ion concentration in the core water is monitored referring to the value, and when the concentration goes out of the value, the agent for mitigating corrosion damage is adjusted so that the concentration will be within the standard value.
(4) Organic carbon flowed into the reactor is caused to effect decomposition reaction by a radiation field in the core, whereby its chemical state is changed. For example, in case water solution including acetone is irradiated by γ ray, carboxylic acid such as acetic acid, formic acid is produced, so that pH lowers and the conductivity rises. Although organic substance decomposition products may be considered to be alcohols, it changes to carboxylic acid through aldehyde having oxidation substance such as hydrogen peroxide. Namely, an amount of carboxylic acid produced according to an environment of water changes an amount of change in conductivity seems to change. Water solution including acetone is irradiated with γ ray, with dissolved oxygen concentration before irradiation being changed. Result as shown in FIG. 19 are obtained. From FIG. 19, it is noted that ratio between change in the conductivity and change in an amount of acetone changes according to initial dissolved oxygen concentration. The initial dissolved oxygen concentration influences product concentration of hydrogen peroxide, so that it meant that water chemistry environment during irradiation changes and low dissolved oxygen concentration mitigates oxidation environment. Therefore, by monitoring ratio between carboxylic acid concentration and TOC in the core water, water chemistry environment can be estimated. Accordingly, at the stage where a suitable amount of agent for mitigating corrosion damage is decided from the dissolved oxygen concentration, crack propagation rate, etc., a standard value of ratio between carboxylic acid and TOC under hydrogen injection condition is set. After setting the standard value, the agent injection is adjusted so that the ratio between the carboxylic acid concentration and TOC in the core water will be within the range of the standard value. This method has an effect that injection control reliability is increased by directly monitoring TOC and making it into a control target since TOC becomes a factor changing water environment in a plant in which TOC is high.
In the above embodiment, direct measuring of carboxylic acid is based on premise, however, using other impurity ion concentration and conductivity, pH value, unknown carboxylic acid concentration can be estimated by using simultaneous equations concerning electrical neutralization conditions and dissociation equilibrium of carboxylic acid. When such estimated value is used, preciseness lowers but when the carboxylic acid concentration is low and can not be directly measured, the method is effective.
As explained above, according to the invention, precise measurement of reactor water chemistry is possible while covering error factors in individual sensor. Even if new sensors are used, it is unnecessary to change largely control logic and suitable water chemistry control conditions under various conditions can be decided clearly and the reactor water chemistry can be kept proper.

First, this motel is huge and is like a maze. You can easily get lost which is why they had a map on most corners so you can find your room.
Second, a word of warning that not all rooms have windows and some rooms have windows that open onto corridors so you have to keep your curtains closed at all times, so its like having no windows anyway. These inhumane rooms shouldn't be offered to any guests and really should be offered at a discount.
Third, if you have a room with an adjoining living area, there are no doors separating the bedroom from the living room. There is a door frame but no door.
Quality of breakfast buffet is below average. I suggest you order from the menu.
Service generally was good but was very disappointed after complaining about a faulty air conditioner and noone followed up. I had to remind them a second time. After that, all efforts were made to accommodate me in another room by the Manager and a credit was offered. This was excellent customer service.
On checking out, I wasn't given a statement, and thought it would be emailed to me, but wasn't.
I think if you pay less than $90 for a room here, it is value for money. However, $160 for a room without a window is not, even if the room has a living area.

Multifrequency, multipolarization imaging radar scattering coefficient data sets, acquired by synthetic aperture radar (SAR) over sea-ice, were studied in order to reveal their scale-invariant properties. Two distinct scenes were acquired at C-band (5.6 cm) and L-band (25 cm) wavelengths for three different linear polarizations (HH, VV, and HV). These sea-ice radar scattering coefficient fields were investigated by applying both Fourier and multifractal analysis techniques. The (multi) scaling of the data is clearly exhibited in both scenes for all three polarizations at L-band and for the HV polarization at C-band. The fields presenting this symmetry were found to be well described by universal multifractals. The corresponding parameters α, C1, and H were determined for all these fields and were found to vary little with only the parameter H (characterizing the degree of nonconservation) displaying some systematic sensitivity to polarization. The values found for the universal multifractal parameters are α≈1.85±0.05, C1≈0.0086±0.0041, and H≈-0.15±0.05

I would not let my dog stay in this place. I had never seen such filth in a hotel furniture waterlogged it was a terrible experience. Luckily I had bed bug spray as well as Lysol to clean the toilet and spray the bed and carpet before I laid down. I changed rooms immediately upon my arrival and the second room was a little better but not much. Believe you me I will never stay there again nor recommend this place to an enemy. ...

I have stayed at other hotels for this same price and got a clean room with a good bed. This is not one of those hotels. The room needed to be cleaned and repaired. The bed needed to be tossed out.

the good old boy system triumps again

this town will never change. The DAin vernon is now in the good old boy system for Quanah.
#2 Sep 27, 2012
This comment is not from the original uh oh. At least there was a guilty plea with consequences. How the perpetrator follows the conditions is yet to be seen.
#3 Sep 27, 2012
This s a great day! Finally one of the good old boys being held to count.
What I understan is he has to do 6 years probation for a felony and pay a $5000 fine. Ouch. Also, I heard he has to go to drug counseling AND wear some kind of GPS dvice.
Never thouht I'd see it happen.
Where are all those now who said it would be swept under the rug? Or that it would be a misdermenor?
#4 Sep 27, 2012
Looks like he just made the paper in Wichita Falls. lol! With a picture and everything. Shame shame!
WICHITA FALLS A former Quanah city council member was sentenced to probation Wednesday afternoon in the 46th Judicial District Court in Quanah.
Steven Tim Williams, 51, of Quanah, was sentenced to seven years probation following his plea of guilty to recklessly causing injury to an elderly individual while driving while intoxicated, a state jail felony.
On Feb. 19, Williams, who was then serving on the Quanah City Council, was driving an all-terrain vehicle down a residential street in Quanah when his vehicle crashed into two individuals and an automobile parked on the side of the street. The victims, Matt Martin and Norma Trolinder, were standing beside the vehicle and Martin was thrown onto the hood of the ATV while Trolinder was pushed under an automobile. The tire of the vehicle rolled over Trolinders leg causing her injuries.
The Hardeman County Sheriffs Office responded to a 911 call for assistance and arrived at the scene shortly after the accident. A mandatory blood draw was taken from Williams, revealing a blood alcohol level of .15, nearly twice the legal limit. Because Trolinder is over the age of 65, District Attorney Staley Heatly filed the case against Williams as injury to an elderly.
Williams, who had no prior criminal history, was ordered to wear a secured continuous remote alcohol monitor (SCRAM) that will monitor any consumption of alcohol. He was also ordered to pay a fine of $2,000 and complete 100 hours of community service.
#5 Sep 27, 2012
lol-get a clue.
he will pay the fine because thats traceable.
how many of those community service hours will be marked as "helping around the courthouse" or city hall?
the one that really needs to be held accountable is the one who dismiss`s his probation early.
i wonder who that could be.
#6 Sep 27, 2012
May I suggest that Mr. Williams spend 100 volunteer hours cleaning up our city.....clearing vacant and overgrown lots, demolishing falling down houses and clearing the lots they set on, keeping the sidewalks along 287 cleaned and edged....plenty for him to do. He might even grow to like what he is doing and keep it up after 100 hrs. A sign on each property to read..."clean up by S. Williams to improve Quanah.....Help make Quanah better by keeping your neighborhood clean and well maintained." It is always a positive when something bad can be turned to something good.
#7 Sep 27, 2012
People that think someone should have to go to prison on their first crime when (1) they did not do it on purpose, and (2) no one was seriously hurt, are COMPLETE idiots.
Our prisons are full of people. Those that are non-violent should get a second chance with strict terms of release.
Idiot above, please explain to me why this man should have to go to prison?
United States
#8 Sep 27, 2012
Listen folks, watch the news from time to time. You will see times when a drunk driver kills someone and gets probation or not charged at all. Yeah, sometimes they get a lotta time and sometimes they get none. And Thats when someone is dead. No one in this wrecke got hurt serious. The law isnt based on "well, he coulda killed someone."When. Dont work that way. If you didnt kill someone than you dont get punished for that.
#9 Sep 27, 2012
i didnt say he should go to prison but if someone waves his probation early or signs off on community service that wasnt completed then they should be charged accordingly.
it is sad though that he had an accident the very first time he drove drunk though.
Since: Jul 11
Location hidden
#10 Sep 27, 2012
well we get our good da think for this, he changed everythiing at the last minute is what i was told,he told victims one thing and backd down and changed at the last minute. and our good county attorney doesn't want to file dwi charges, figure that. if this would have been anyone else they would have hung them out to dry. guess it pays to be elite and have money in this town.
#11 Sep 27, 2012
I think you were jesting on your last statement but just for the record....statistics show that by the time someone is arrested for DWI they have driven intoxicated over 80 times. Law of averages....sooner or later something bad happens.
#12 Sep 27, 2012
80 times,well thats just insane.in less of course the law isnt doing their job but of course that cant be the case.
saying someone drives drunk in quanah is like saying you can buy drugs in every neighborhood in quanah.
thats perpos...
not the sarcasm.
make a change at the top and every thing else will come together.
#13 Sep 27, 2012
*note the sarcasm*
#14 Sep 27, 2012
Hurt Serious? How do you define serious? Dead is not DWI it is maybe called vehicular manslaughter or homicide. Don't think anyone gets probation on that one. One chooses to drink then chooses to drive while drunk then if you make those choices and someone is hurt....you pay the price of your choices but those you harm did not make a choice to be harmed. The one who chose to drink and drive are responsible for the harm they cause and should pay the price for their poor choice. Their victims had no choice. Statistics show that by the time someone is arrested for DWI they have driven drunk over 80 times. Over 2000 people a year are killed by drunk drivers in Texas alone. Texas has the highest DWI death rate in the nation.
#15 Sep 27, 2012
"did not do it on purpose?" He purposely drank until his BAC was nearly twice the legal limit. He purposely got in his vehicle and drove while highly intoxicated. Did he intend to do the deed.....of course not but he purposely got drunk and drove his vehicle in that condition knowing he was breaking the law and could cause harm. Mr. Stevens has his second chance, now he must live up to the terms of his second chance and get his life back on track. If he fails to make this second chance count....then he should indeed go to prison.....maybe then he will take his problem seriously.
#16 Sep 27, 2012
Sarcasm duly noted
#17 Sep 28, 2012
We want this man sent to prison, but what about our other 2 drunk drivers who killed themselves and lots of innocent people including a whole family and a man simply doing his job. Both of these were lauded as good men. They were murderers and both would have gone to prison for murder had they lived. GET A Grip people!
#18 Sep 28, 2012
If anyone thinks that a jury would have given this man a prison sentence then they are either (1) an idiot,(2) a liar, or (3) deluded in the head.
#19 Sep 28, 2012
If we are going to make claims, let's have SOME information to back them up. Who has gotten "hung out to dry" on there first crime?
#20 Sep 28, 2012
You are correct.Both would have went to prison.One would have been sent to prison based simply on his skin color with addition to his crime.The other would have went to prison for a long time also,only because the heinous crime of murder and burning someone to death was committed somewhere other than Hardeman Co.
If he would have lived and been tried here then he wouldnt of served more than five years behind bars,all because of who he/his family is.
