Establishment of Response Instrumentation Test Acceptance Criteria for APR1400 Reactor Vessel Internals Comprehensive Vibration Assessment Program

APR1400 원자로내부구조물 종합진동평가 응답측정시험 허용기준 수립

APR1400 RVI CVAP using the non-prototype category is being conducted to verify integrity of the RVI design and to secure the CVAP technology. The measurement programs are to confirm vibration analysis results for reactor internals during preoperational and initial startup testing and to detemine the safety margin. One of the important basis for the measurement programs is test acceptance criteria. Therefore, this paper is on establishment of response instrumentation test acceptance criteria for APR1400 RVI CVAP. The established acceptance criteria show that the stress criteria of APR1400 RVI are more conservative values than those of the valid prototype plant(Palo Verde unit 1) and, the displacement criteria of the IBA and the UGS were established to 0.03 in and 0.01 in, respectively.
