The forced convection heat transfer performance of a twist-vane spacer grid for a dual-cooled annular fuel assembly was examined experimentally. The twist-vane spacer grid was uniquely designed to enhance mixing inside subchannels and mixing between adjacent subchannels. For testing, a $4{\times}4$ square-arrayed rod bundle with narrow gaps between rods was prepared as the dual-cooled annular fuel assembly to be simulated. The pitch-to-rod diameter ratio of simulated dual-cooled annular fuel assembly was 1.08. The experiments were performed under the following conditions: axial bulk velocity, 1.5 m/s and heat flux, $26kW/m^2$. With regard to the circumferential temperature distribution, the lowest rod-wall temperatures upstream and downstream were measured at the subchannel center and the position toward the tip of twist-vane, respectively. With regard to the axial temperature distribution, behind the twist-vane spacer grid, the rod-wall temperature decreased drastically, and the Nusselt number was enhanced by up to 56 %. The present measured data indicate that the twist-vane spacer grid can effectively improve the forced convection heat transfer in the dual-cooled annular fuel assembly with narrow gaps.

종래의 핵연료소결체가 혼합산화물 혹은 이산화우라늄중 한가지 핵연료만으로 구성한 것과 달리 내부를 저농축 이산화우라늄 핵연료로 채우고 그 외부를 링형태의 혼합산화물 핵연료로 둘러 싼 이중구조를 특징으로 한다. 이러한 형태의 핵연료소결체는 중심영역의 핵분열반응률 줄임으로써 핵분열 기체생성, 핵연료봉 중심온도와 평균온도를 낮추어 준다. 이는 핵분열 기체방출을 낮추어 혼합산화물 핵연료봉 성능을 향상시키고 방출 연소도를 증가시키는 효과가 있다.

내부부수로, 벽면부수로, 모서리부수로를 포함하는 가압경수로형 원자로의 핵연료집합체를 모의하는 3$\times$3 봉다발을 모델로 수치해석을 통해 봉다발 주변의 유동특성을 알아보고 각 봉에서의 원주방향 위치에 따른 국소열전달 특성에 관해 고찰하였다. 봉다발에서 열전달계수의 분포는 벽면영향으로 인한 각 부수로에서의 유속분포와 밀접한 관계가 있으며 내부부수로에 인접한 봉에서 가장 높았고, 그 다음이 벽면부수로, 모서리부수로에 인접한 봉에서는 가장 작게 나타났다. 현재 핵연료의 열수력 설계시에 적용하고 있는 부수고 내의 모든 열수력학적 변수가 일정하다고 가정하는 부수로 해석방법은 봉다발내의 실제 열전달 현상과는 상당한 차이가 있음을 보여주었다.

Fretting wear behavior under elastic deformable contacts was experimentally examined by using a simulated dual cooled fuel rod and its supporting structure. As this fuel rod has larger outer diameter than the typical solid rod to accommodate sufficient internal flow, new supporting structure geometries should be designed and their reliabilities (i.e. vibration characteristics, fretting wear resistance, etc.) are also examined with both analytical and experimental methods. In this study, the supporting structure characteristics and fretting wear behaviors are analyzed and examined by using one of the supporting structure candidates which has an embossing shape. The supporting structure characteristics were examined by using a specially designed test rig and their results were compared with that of analytical method. Based on the test results, the relationship between the supporting structure characteristics and their fretting wear behaviors was discussed in detail.

A process map has been developed, which can identify the process conditions for weak mechanical bonding at the contact surface during the direct extrusion of a Cu-Ti bimetal bar. Bonding mechanism between Cu and Ti was assumed as a cold pressure welding. Then, the plastic deformation at the contact zone causes mechanical bonding and a new bonding criterion for pressure welding was developed as a function of the principal stretch ratio and normal pressure at the contact surface by analyzing micro local extrusion at the contact zone. Finite element analyses for extrusion of Cu-Ti bimetal bars were performed for various process conditions. The deformation history at the contact surface was traced and the proposed new bonding criterion was applied to predict whether the mechanical bonding at the Cu-Ti contact surface happens. Finally, a process map for the extrusion of Cu-Ti bimetal bar is suggested.

본 연구에서는 DUPIC 핵연료 주기개발이 상업화 됨을 전재로 하였을때 핵연료 제조 공정에 대하여 핵임계 해석을 수행하였다. 계산 과정은 PWR 핵연료봉을 해체하는 공정과 분말을 취급하는 공정으로 나누었으며, 이중 우발성의 원리를 기초하여 가상 사고 조건을 고려하였다. 핵임계 해석의 결과, DUPIC 핵연료 제조 공정에서는 특별한 가상조건을 제외하고는 핵임계의 위험은 없는 것으로 나타났다.

원자로의 제어봉 구동장치에 공급되는 전력을 제어하는 전력함 전력제어기는 DSP를 이용하여 디지털 시스템으로 설계하였다. 전력제어기는 Master/Slave 형태로 이중화되어 신뢰성이 향상시켰고 전력제어기의 CPU 보드에는 제어용과 통신용 두 개의 DSP를 사용하여 전력제어기의 주 기능인 제어/감시와 통신 기능을 분리하여 담당시켰다. 전력제어기에 요구되는 이러한 기능들을 효과적으로 수행하도록 CPU 보드에 디지털 논리구현 장치인 FPGA를 설치하여 메모리 주소 및 각 부품의 칩 선택 신호를 생성, 이중화 전력제어기 상호간 신호 수수, 각종 고장 검출 및 점호각 신호 발생 등의 역할을 하도록 하였다.
