Abstract

The design concepts of in-service inspection and maintenance are very important for the reactor system design of the nuclear power plant. The strategy of in-service inspection and maintenance should be reflected in the mechanical system design for the verification of the operability of liquid metal reactor KALIMER. In this paper the fundamental approaches of the in-service inspection and maintenance of the KALIMER are established to ensure the safety and reliability of the reactor system. The general method and requirement of the in-service inspection and maintenance for the reactor system and components are proposed and described to satisfy the intents of the ASME Section XI Division 3 and the design characteristics of KALIMER.

가동중검사와 보수는 원자력발전소의 원자로계통설계에서 매우 중요한 설계개념이다. 액체금속로 KALIMER의 가동성 검증을 위해서 기계계통 설계에 가동중검사와 보수개념이 반영되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 KALIMER 의 안전성과 신뢰성을 확보하기 위하여 KALIMER의 개념설계 단계에 필요한 가동중검사와 보수의 기본개념을 설정하였다. 액체금속로 가동중검사 규정인 ASME Section XI Division 3를 반영하고 KALIMER의 설계특성을 고려하여 원자로계통과 주요부품의 가동중검사와 보수에 대한 방법과 요건을 설계하고 기술하였다.
