Abstract

Performed here is a comparative assessment study for the generation of the pressure-temperature limit curve of the reactor vessel. A round robin problem is proposed using the data available in Korea and all organizations interested in the generation of the pressure-temperature limit curve are invited. The problems consisting of 12 cases for cool-down are solved and their results are compared to generate a reference solution for the reference problem, which will be useful in the evaluation of the generation of the pressure-temperature limit curve in the future.

원자로 용기의 온도-압력 한계곡선을 위하여 국내공동비교연구를 수행하였다. 국내 원전의 데이터를 이용하여 국내 각 기관에서 온도-압력 한계곡선 작성에 사용하고 있는 방법 및 기법을 비교하기 위하여 round robin 해석을 제안하였고 주어진 문제에 대하여 각 기관이 문제를 해석한 후 결과를 제출하여 이들을 분석함으로써 온도-압력 한계곡선 작성에 대한 표준 해석 자료를 만들어 추후 평가에 이용할 수 있도록 하였다.
