In this paper, In-air and in-water vibration characteristics of Rotary Specimen Rack(RSR) are estimated through 3D finite element analysis by using ANSYS software. Added mass is calculated by using Blevins' equation. To confirm the accuracy of the results presented in this study, obtained results are compared to those of using a theoretical equation. It is confirmed that in-water natural frequencies of the RSR are lower than in-air ones due to tile added mass effect of the fluid. Also, good agreement is founded between natural frequency ratios obtained by a theoretical equation and those of using ANSYS.

The 3D simulations of the shielding concrete and the Rotary Specimen Rack(RSR) in the Korea Research Reactor-1&2(KRR-1&2) were carried out in present work. Four main dismantling processes, which are the removal of the RSR, reactor core region, beam tube, and thermal column and activated concrete, were selected for the graphic simulation by the consideration of the activation, worker training, work difficulty and so on. On the basis of these, we constructed their 3D CAD models and then drawn and reviewed their dismantling processes. In this study, the 3D simulation results of the shielding concrete and the RSR among main components are also presented and discussed.

A new milling machine was designed and manufactured for underwater cutting of rotary specimen racks(RSR) used in the Korea Research Reactor. To cut out intermediate level radioactive stainless steel parts from RSR effectively and safely, the machine was designed to be operated in four directions of X, Y, Z axes and a rotation upon Z axis. The stress and displacement of main frame were simulated by using a structural analysis tool(Design Space) and the pressure of clamping device was evaluated.

The D&D work requires worker's safety and high reliability of operation because it has been processing in high radioactive environment. Therefore, it is necessary to select the dismantling items and applicable dismantling technologies and analyze the scenarios for selected items. In this paper, the main dismantling items were selected by the consideration of several factors, their 3D CAD models were constructed as well. The applicable dismantling technologies for each dismantling items were selected and their dismantling scenarios were setup. Finally the 3D graphic simulations for the shielding concrete, the RSR, and the core are performed.
