A Design of PWR Hydraulic Test Facility at KAERI

  • Published : 2005.05.26

Abstract

KAERI is performing a project on out-pile test technology development for a full scale PWR fuel assembly. We have introduced the hydraulic test facility, a test assembly, test parameters, test methods, and a data acquisition system. The start up test will be in the middle of March 2005 and the main test will be accomplished by the end of 2006. The established test facility and measuring technique will contribute to the satisfaction of domestic needs for the design verification to improve the reliability of a PWR plant operation.
