  • This paper describes an intelligent system to automatic evaluation of eddy current(EC) signal for Inspection of steam generator(SG) tubes in nuclear power plant. Some features of the intelligent system design in the proposed system are : (1) separation of representation scheme ,or event capturing knowledge in EC signal and for structural inspection knowledge in SG tubes inspection; (2) each representation scheme is implemented in different methods, one is syntactic pattern grammar and the other is rule based production. This intelligent system also includes an data base system and an user interface system to support integration of the hybrid knowledge processing methods. The intelligent system based on the proposed concept is useful in simplifying the knowledge elicitation process of the rule based production system, and in increasing the performance in real time signal inspection application.

  • The transition temperature shift (TTS) of the reactor pressure vessel materials is an important factor that determines the lifetime of a nuclear power plant. The prediction of the TTS at the end of a plant's lifespan is calculated based on the equation of Regulatory Guide 1.99 revision 2 (RG1.99/2) from the US. The fluence factor in the equation was expressed as a power function, and the exponent value was determined by the early surveillance data in the US. Recently, an advanced approach to estimate the TTS was proposed in various countries for nuclear power plants, and Korea is considering the development of a new TTS model. In this study, the TTS trend of the Korean surveillance test results was analyzed using a nonlinear regression model and a mixed-effect model based on the power function. The nonlinear regression model yielded a similar exponent as the power function in the fluence compared with RG1.99/2. The mixed-effect model had a higher value of the exponent and showed superior goodness of fit compared with the nonlinear regression model. Compared with RG1.99/2 and RG1.99/3, the mixed-effect model provided a more accurate prediction of the TTS.

  • Following a surge of interest in multi-unit risk in the last few years, many recent studies have suggested methods for multi-unit probabilistic safety assessment (MUPSA) and addressed several related aspects. Most of the existing studies though focused on two-unit nuclear power plant (NPP) sites or used rather simplified probabilistic safety assessment (PSA) models to demonstrate the proposed approaches. When considering an NPP site with three or more units, some approaches are inapplicable or yield very conservative results. Since the number of such sites is increasing, there is a strong need to develop and validate practical approaches to the related MUPSA. This article provides several detailed approaches that are applicable to multi-unit Level 1 PSA for sites with up to six or more reactor units. To validate the approaches, a multi-unit Level 1 PSA model is developed and the site core damage frequency is estimated for each of four representative multi-unit initiators, as well as for the case of a simultaneous occurrence of independent single-unit initiators in multiple units. For this purpose, an NPP site with six identical OPR-1000 units is considered, with full-scale Level 1 PSA models for a specific OPR-1000 plant used as the base single-unit models.

  • 과학기술이 발달한 현대에 살고 있는 우리는 모두 ‘에너지’로 인해 편리한 생활을 영위하고 있다. 우리나라는 자원빈국으로 에너지원의 대부분을 해외에서 수입하고 있는 실정이며 계속되는 경제 성장과 국민 생활수준의 향상으로 에너지 소비는 더욱 증가하는 추세이다. 원자력은 우리나라처럼 에너지 부존자원이 빈약하고 에너지 수입 의존도가 높은 나라에서는 필수적인 에너지 자립형 대체에너지라고 한다. 하지만 원자력 발전이 위험 시설이라는 부정적인 인식과 방사능 처리 시설에 대한 불신 문제가 이슈화되면서 원자력 발전에 대한 대국민 교육, 홍보가 절실히 요구되고 있다. 이러한 문제를 환경 색채계획의 관점인 친인간, 친환경 색채계획을 목표로 접근하였으며 이를 통해 원자력에 대한 부정적 이미지를 최소화하고 친근하고 자연스러운 이미지를 부각시키며 대 국민 신뢰성 향상 및 청정 이미지 구축이 본 연구의 목표이다. 이를 위하여 일본의 원자력 발전소와 국내 발전소의 사례를 조사, 분석하고 발전소가 건설될 대상지를 방문하여 자연환경, 현황분석을 통하여 구체적인 색을 추출하였으며 지역 주민의 참여를 유도하고자 선물조사를 실시하여 색채계획에 반영하였다. 원자력 발전소의 환경 친화적 이미지구현을 통해 발전소의 안정성 및 친근한 발전소 이미지를 구축하며 원자력 발전에 대한 일반 국민들의 부정적인 인식을 계도하는데 적극적인 홍보 전략 및 수단으로 외관 환경색채계획을 시도하며 이를 통해 원전의 새로운 이미지 창출에 기여할 것으로 기대된다.

  • In order to apply a static fault-tree (FT) method to a system or a plant whose configuration changes dynamically, condition gates and a post processing method are used to effectively accommodate these changes. An operator's performance change, which can be caused by these configuration changes, should also be considered to assess the risk to a plant in a more realistic manner. This study aims to develop an integrated framework to accommodate various configuration changes and their effect on an operator’s performance by using the FT model. We applied a condition-based human reliability assessment (CBHRA) method to consider various conditions endured by an operator. That is, we integrated the CBHRA method with the conventional post processing method for modeling the system configuration changes. The effect of the condition monitoring systems installed in a plant is also considered. In this study, we show an example application of the integrated framework to a probabilistic safety assessment for the shutdown phase of a nuclear power plant.

  • In an effort to assess the performance of KAERI's coupled 3D kinetics - system T/H code, MARS/MASTER, Exercise III of the OECD main steam line break benchmark is solved. The analysis model of the reference plant, TMI-1 - a 2772 MWth B&W plant, consists of three major components: a core neutronics model involving 241$\times$28 neutronic nodes, a vessel 3D T/H model consisting of 374 hydrodynamic volumes, and a 1D system T/H model containing 157 hydrodynamic volumes. The results show that there is a significant amount of flow mixing occurring in the upper and lower plenum regions and the core power distribution evolves to a highly localized shape due to the presence of a stuck rod, as well as the asymmetric flow distribution. It is judged that MARS/MASTER properly captures these drastic 3-dimensional effects. Comparisons with other results submitted to OECD confirm the accuracy of the MARS/MASTER solution.
