  • 일반적 의미의 소수력발전은 계곡이나 저낙차의 하천에서 시도되었으나, 한국의 지형과 강수패턴등은 소수력발전을 활성화하기에 어려운 점들이 있었다. 이에 최근에는 정수장, 하수처리장등과 같은 인공구조물에 소수력발전을 설치 운영하는 방향으로 가고 있으며, 특히 화력발전소 냉각공정에 사용되는 해수를 이용한 소수력발전이 크게 성공하였고 확대설치 되어가고 있다. 해안에 위치하는 LNG인수기지에서는 LNG의 기화에 해수를 열원으로 사용하며, 기화공정에서 열교환 후 바다에 배출된다. 이 때 기화해수와 공기와의 접촉으로 생성된 거품은 해양미생물과의 복합작용으로 쉽게 깨어지지 않고 바다로 떠내려가게 된다. 이러한 거품은 시각적 거부감으로 인하여 인근어민들의 불편함을 야기하고 있으며, 또한 배출해수와 일반해수와의 온도차로 인한 인근 어장이나 양식장의 어획고에 미칠 수 있는 부작용의 가능성에 대한 우려는 더욱 방류해수의 적절한 처리를 필요로 하고 있다. 이러한 방류해수의 거품생성을 해결하는 데 있어 근본적인 해결방법은 심층배수법인데, 심층배수 구조물에 발전수차를 추가 설치만 하면 수력발전이 가능하다. 방류해수의 거품관련 환경문제를 해결하면서 동시에 청정전력을 생산할 수 있는 해양소수력발전에 대하여 KOGAS에서는 LNG 인수기지에의 적용가능성을 분석하고 있으며, 방류해수의 낙차와 조수간만의 차를 이용하는 해양소수력발전을 LNG 인수기지에의 적용하는 것으로는 세계최초의 시도이다. 주변지형에 따른 입지여건을 분석하고, 해수계통분석, 소수력발전방법, 수차종류, 수차용량, 수차개수, pond의 크기등을 결정하고, 수리해석 및 경제성분석을 수행할 것이며 소수력발전의 타당성여부에 대한 가늠을 잡고자 한다.

  • If the safety depressurization system of APR-1400, the Korean next generation reactor, is in operation, water, air and steam are successively discharging into a in-containment refueling water storage tank through spargers. Among the phenomena occurring during the discharging processes, the air bubble clouds produce a low-frequency and high-amplitude oscillatory loading, which may result in the most significant damages to the submerged structures if the oscillation frequency is the same or close to the natural frequency of the structures. The involved phenomena are so complicated that most of the prediction of frequency and pressure loads has been resorted to experimental work and computational approach has been precluded. This study deals with a numerical simulation on the behavior of air bubble clouds discharging into a water pool through a sparger, by using a commercial thermal hydraulic analysis code, FLUENT, version 4.5. Among the multiphase flow models, the VOF (Volume Of Fluid) model was selected to simulate the water, air and steam flows. A satisfactory result was obtained comparing the analysis results with the ABB-Atom test results which had been performed for the development of sparser.

  • Load reduction ring (LRR) was installed on the ABB-Atom sparger to reduce the oscillatory loadings due to the air bubble clouds in the water pool in case of safety relief system operations. In order to investigate the effect of LRR on the pressure field, a numerical simulation on the behavior of air bubble clouds discharging into a water pool through a ABB-Atom sparser without LRR was performed by using a commercial thermal hydraulic analysis code, FLUENT 4.5. Among the multi-phase models contained in the code, the VOF (Volume Of Fluid) model was used to simulate the interface of water, air and steam flows. By comparing the analysis results with the previous ones, the load reduction ring has an effect on reducing the oscillatory loads at the wall. It also includes the effect of air mass and inlet boundary conditions of the pipe on the pressure oscillations at the wall.

  • KHNP (Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power Co.) defines and manages equipment of Nuclear Power Plants systematically with functional importance determination of each equipment for efficient maintenance and optimal preventive maintenance. But the existing functional importance determinations have some different results between the plants, systems and engineers due to gap of understanding of classification criteria because they have been done in terms of equipment level rather than function level. so that caused the repeated work. To make up for this problem improve methodology of functional importance determination using MR (Maintenance Rule) and do classification of equipment for new nuclear power plants based on function level. In addition, methodical documentation for basis of importance determination is done to help that system engineers can easily understand and use.

  • To evaluate the sequence of event and the Thermohydraulic behavior during total loss of feedwater accident and recovery procedure, a RELAP5/MOD3 calculation is performed and compared with the LOFT L9-l/L3-3 experiment. Also, the predictability of the code for the major Thermohydraulic phenomena following the accident is assessed. As a result, it is found that a pressure control using the spray until the time the water level reaches the top of the pressurizer, an overpressure protection by pressurizer PORV, a recovery of the secondary heat removal capability by refilling steam generator, and an effective cooldown by the continued natural circulation can be performed without core uncovery. It is also found that the plant-specific evaluation is necessary to confirm the effectiveness of the current symptom-oriented emergency operating procedure, especially in an overpressure protection performance and steam generator recovery performance.

  • Nuclear power plants(NPP) are constructed and operated to ensure safety against natural disasters and man-made disasters in all processes including site selection, site survey, design, construction, and operation. This paper will introduce a series of efforts conducted in Korea Hydro and Nuclear Power Co. Ltd., to assure the safety of nuclear power plant against earthquakes and other natural hazards. In particular, the present status of the earthquake, fault, and slope safety monitoring system for nuclear power plants is introduced. A earthquake observatory network for the NPP sites has been built up for nuclear safety and providing adequate seismic design standards for NPP sites by monitoring seismicity in and around NPPs since 1999. The Eupcheon Fault Monitoring System, composed of a strainmeter, seismometer, creepmeter, Global Positioning System, and groundwater meter, was installed to assess the safety of the Wolsung Nuclear Power Plant against earthquakes by monitoring the short- and long-term behavioral characteristics of the Eupcheon fault. Through the analysis of measured data, it was verified that the Eupcheon fault is a relatively stable fault that is not affected by earthquakes occurring around the southeastern part of the Korean peninsula. In addition, it was confirmed that the fault monitoring system could be very useful for seismic safety analysis and earthquake prediction study on the fault. K-SLOPE System for systematic slope monitoring was successfully developed for monitoring of the slope at nuclear power plants. Several kinds of monitoring devices including an inclinometer, tiltmeter, tension-wire, and precipitation gauge were installed on the NPP slope. A macro deformation analysis using terrestrial LiDAR (Light Detection And Ranging) was performed for overall slope deformation evaluation.

  • Best-estimate thermal-hydraulic codes, CATHARE2 V1.2 and RELAP5/MOD3, hate been assessed against the BETHSY 6.2 tc six-inch cold leg break loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA) test. Main objective is to analyze the overall capabilities of the two codes on physical phenomena of concern during the small break LOCA i.e. two-phase critical flow, depressurization, core water level de-pression, loop seal clearing, liquid holdup, etc. The calculation results show that the too codes predict well both in the occurrences and trends of major two-phase flow phenomena observed. Especially, the CATHARE2 calculations show better agreements with the experimental data. However, the two codes, in common, show some deviations in the predictions of loop seal clearing, collapsed core water level after the loop seal clearing, and accumulator injection behaviors. The discrepancies found from the comprision with the experimental data are larger in the RELAP5 results than in the CATHARE2. To analyze the deviations of the two code predictions in detail, several sensitivity calculations have been performed. In addition to the change of two-phase discharge coefficients for the break junction, fine nodalization and some corrections of the interphase drag term are made. For CATHARE2, the change of interphase drag force improves the mass distribution in the primary side. And the prediction of SG pressure is improved by the modification of boundary conditions. For RELAP5, any single input change doesn't improve the whole result and it is found that the interphase drag model has still large uncertainties.

  • The concept of Hybrid Safety Injection Tank (Hybrid SIT) proposed by the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI) has been introduced for the purpose of application to the Advanced Power Reactor Plus (APR+). In this study, the SBO situation of the APR+ was analyzed by using the MARS-KS code in order to evaluate whether the operation of the Hybrid SIT has an effect on the cooling performance of the Reactor Coolant System (RCS). According to the analysis, when the actuation valve on the pressure balancing line (PBL) is opened, the Hybrid SIT's pressure rises rapidly, forming equilibrium with the RCS pressure; subsequently, a flow is injected from the Hybrid SIT into the reactor vessel through the direct vessel injection (DVI) line. The analysis showed that it is possible to keep the core temperature below melting temperature during the operation of a Hybrid SIT.

  • A condensation heat transfer model is very important for the safety analysis of nuclear power plants. Especially, condensation under the presence of noncondensable gases (NCGs) is an important issue in nuclear safety because the presence of even a small quantity of NCGs in the vapor largely reduces the condensation rate. In this study, the condensation heat transfer model of the severe accident analysis code MELCOR 1.8.6 has been assessed using a set of condensation experiments performed under the thermal-hydraulic conditions similar to those inside a containment during design-basis accidents or severe accidents. Experiment conditions are categorized into 4 types according to the shape of the condensation surface: vertical flat plates, outer surface of vertical pipes, inner surface of vertical pipes, the inner surface of horizontal pipes. The results of the calculations show that the MELCOR code generally under-predicts the condensation heat transfer except the condensation on inner surface of vertical pipes.

  • 블랑켓 일차벽이나 디버터와 같은 핵융합로 플라즈마 대향부품은 플라즈마로부터 입사되는 중성자 및 입자들을 차폐하여 구조물을 보호하고, 발생열을 에너지로 변환하기 위해 냉각재를 활용한 열제거 기능을 담당한다. 특히, 고속중성자와 입사 열부하 및 여러 입자들로부터 블랑켓 및 내부 구조물을 보호하기 위해 차폐체와 구조물로 구성된다. 세계적으로 차폐체로서는 텅스텐 혹은 텅스텐 합금, 구조물용 재료로는 저방사화 Ferritic Martensitic (FM) 강이 유력한 후보재료로 개발, 연구 중에 있다. 국내에서는 국제핵융합로(ITER) 사업을 통해 고온등방가압(HIP, Hot Isostatic Pressing)을 이용한 이종금속간 접합기술과 한국형 저방사화 고온구조재료인 ARAA (Advanced Reduced Activation Alloy)가 개발되고 있으며, 이를 활용한 설계, 접합법 개발, 제작목업의 건전성 평가 등이 수행되고 있다. 한국원자력연구원에서는 핵융합 기초사업의 일환으로 전북대와 공동으로 수행 중인 건전성 평가체계 개발을 위해, 기 개발된 접합법을 활용한 $45mm(H){\times}45mm(W){\times}2mm(T)$의 W/FM강 목업을 제작한 바 있으며, 이를 국내 구축된 고열부하 시험 장비인 KoHLT-EB (Electron Beam)를 활용한 고열부하 인가 건전성 평가시험을 준비 중에 있다. 이종금속간 접합 특성은 기계적 평가를 위한 파괴시험을 통해 검증, 이를 활용한 목업이 제작되었으며, 제작된 목업에 대한 초음파를 이용한 접합면의 비파괴 검사를 통해 결함이 없음을 확인하였다. 최종적으로 실제 사용되는 핵융합 운전조건과 유사 혹은 가혹한 조건에서 고열부하를 인가하여, 그 건전성을 평가가 이루어질 것이다. 고열부하 시험을 위해서는 냉각조건, 인가 열부하, 수명평가를 통한 반복 고열부하 인가 횟수 등이 사전에 결정되어야 한다. 이를 위해 상업용 열수력, 구조해석 코드인 ANSYS-CFX와 -mechanical을 이용한 시험조건 모의 및 수명 평가가 수행되었다. 구축 장비의 냉각계통을 고려하여 냉각수의 온도 및 속도는 $25^{\circ}C$, 0.15 kg/sec로, 열부하는 0.5 및 $1.0MW/m^2$에 대해 모의를 수행하였다. 정상상태 시 텅스텐의 최대 온도는 각 열부하 조건에 따라 $285.3^{\circ}C$$546.8^{\circ}C$였으며, 이에 도달하는 시간을 구하기 위해 천이해석을 수행하였고, 이를 통해 30초에 최대온도 95 %이상의 정상상태 온도에 도달함을 확인하였다. 또한, 목업의 초기 온도에 도달하는 냉각시간도 동일한 천이해석을 통해 30초로 가능함을 확인하였고, 최종 시험 조건을 30초 가열, 30초 냉각으로 결정하였다. 결정된 반복 열부하 인가 조건에서 이종금속 접합체가 받는 다른 열팽창 정도에 따른 응력을 계산하여 목업의 수명을 도출하였고, 이를 시험해야 할 반복 횟수로 결정하였다. 각 열부하 조건에 따른 온도조건을 ANSYS-mechanical 코드를 활용하여 열팽창과 이에 따른 접합면의 응력분포로 계산하였다. 0.5 및 $1.0MW/m^2$에 대해, 목업이 받는 최대 응력은 334.3 MPa와 588.0 MPa 였으며, 이 때 텅스텐과 FM강이 받는 strain을 도출하여 물성치로 알려진 cycle to failure 값을 도출하였다. 열부하에서 예상되는 수명은 0.5 및 $1.0MW/m^2$에 대해, 100,000 사이클 이상과 2,655 사이클로 계산되었으며, 시간적 제약을 고려 최종 평가는 $1.0MW/m^2$에 대해, 3,000사이클 정도의 실험을 통해 그 수명까지 접합건전성이 유지되는 지 실험을 통해 평가할 예정이다.
