Abstract
Accumulation of impurities within cold trap device results in degradation of
efficient performance in a nuclear reactor systems. The impurities have to be
identified and the device has to be replaced periodically based on the
accumulation level. Though there are a few techniques available to identify
these impurities from the cold trap device, there are certain limitations in these
techniques. In order to overcome these constraints, a new harmless and easy
approach for identifying and separating the impurities using the radiographic
images of cold traps is proposed in this paper. It includes a new segmentation
algorithm to segregate the deposited impurities from the images of the cold
trap device after sodium experiment. The experiment begins with thresholding
and segmenting of impurities by using transformations onto the radiographic
images of the cold trap device. The procedure is experimented on two section
of the cold trap's image and it yields far better results on comparison with other
segmentation techniques. The results are verified and approved by the
scientists working with Fast Breeder Test Reactors. Implementation of the
proposed algorithm with the simulation result s are presented in this paper.
