초록
본 논문에서는 노심 용융물과 원자로 용기하부 반구내벽 사이의 간격형성 여부 및 간극의 열적 영향을 측정하기 위한LAVA (Lower-plenum arrested vessel attack) 실험에서 초고온상태에 있는 노심 용융물의 온도를 측정할 목적으로 초고온 온도측정 시스템을 개발하였다. 본 연구에서는 제안된 이론의 유용성을 확인할 목적으로 개발한 초음파 자왜 센서 시스템을 이용하여 2300℃까지의 온도를 측정함으로써 실험을 통해 개발된 시스템의 효율성을 증명하였다.
The temperature measurement of yen high temperature core melt is of importance in LAVA (Lower-plenum Arrested Vessel Attack) experiment in which gap formation between core melt and the reactor lower head, and the effect of the gap on thermal behavior are to be measured. The delay time of ultrasonic wavelets due to high temperature is suggested. As a first stage, a molten material temperature was measured up to 2300℃. Also, the optimization design of the ultrasonic temperature sensor with persistence at the high temperature was suggested in this paper. And the utilization of the theory suggested in the reference〔1〕and the efficiency of the developed system are certified by performing experiments. This sensor welded magnetostrictive element and tungsten element will be able to measure a temperature range of 3000℃ hereafter.
