원자로계측을 위한 박막중성자열전대의 시작 및 특성

Fabrication and Characteristics of Thin-film Neutron Thermopile for Reactor Instrumentation

원자로제어를 위한 중성자열전대의 응답시간 단축을 목적으로 진실증착된 박막열전대를 이체하여 중성자열전대를 시작하였다. 이의 실험결과를 선열전대의 것과 비교하였으며, 열중성자속범위 neutrons/㎠/sec에서 좋은 선형특성을 가지고 있었다. 시작된 박막중성자숙전대를 사용하여 TRIGA MARK-II 원자로 노심에서의 열중성자속분포를 측정하였다.

In order to improve the response time of nelltron theromopile for reactor control a neutron thermopile made use of a vacuunl evaporated thin film thor mocouple was fablicated and tested. The test results were compared with a wire-type neutron thermopile. Good linearities between the response of the neutron thermopile and the thermal flux has been shown in the ranges from n/$\textrm{cm}^2$/sec. Thermal neutron flux distributions in the core of TRIGA Mark-II reactor were measured using the fabricated neutron thermopile, and the results were conpared with data obtained by the acrivatin foil measurement.
