  • CANDU 6 발전소의 측면 및 하단 차폐 구조에서의 방사선 선량율을 해석하기 위하여 DOT4.2-QAD-CG 접속 방법을 이용한 평가 방법이 시도되었다. 평가 결과에 의하면 주 출입구 및 신연료 장전 구역에서의 평균 방사선 선량율은 설계 목표치인. 약 6 $\mu$Sv/h 정도로 나타났으며, 또한 이러한 평가 결과는 CANDU 6 발전소에서의 실측지와도 잘 일치하고 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서, 본 논문에서 사용된 평가법은 앞으로 건설 될 CANDU 6 원자로인 월성 2, 3 및 4호기의 방사선 차폐해석에도 이용될 수 있을 것이다.

  • The thermal margin of CANDU-6 reactor is estimated by the CCP, which is dependent on fuel channel hydraulics and the CHF of fuel bundle. This paper intents to describe the characteristics of CCP behavior for the CANDU-6 channel in which CANFLEX-NU fuel bundles are assumed to be loaded. Also, it includes the thermal margin evaluation of the CANDU-6 channel loaded with a mixed CANFLEX-NU and 37-element fuel bundles as a simulation of the partial loading of CANFLEX-NU fuel bundle in the CANDU-6 reactor. For the mixed fuel channels, the effects of axial flux distribution(AFD) on CCP were investigated by using the AFD tilted in the downstream. The CCP of CANFLEX-NU fuel bundle was found to be improved by the CHF enhancement, despite of the slight flow decrease, in case of both full and partial loading, compared with those of a standard 37-element fuel bundle.

  • In a CANDU (CANada Deuterium Uranium) reactor, fuel channel integrity depends on the coolability of the moderator as an ultimate heat sink under transient conditions such as a loss of coolant accident (LOCA) with coincident loss of emergency core cooling (LOECC), as well as normal operating conditions. This study presents assessments of moderator thermal-hydraulic characteristics in the normal operating conditions and one transient condition for CANDU-6 reactors, using a general purpose three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics code. First, an optimized calculation scheme is obtained by many-sided comparisons of the predicted results with the related experimental data, and by evaluating the fluid flow and temperature distributions. Then, using the optimized scheme, analyses of real CANDU-6 in normal operating conditions and the transition condition have been performed. The present model successfully predicted the experimental results and also reasonably assessed the thermal-hydraulic characteristics of a real CANDU-6 with 380 fuel channels. A flow regime map with major parameters representing the flow pattern inside a calandria vessel has also proposed to be used as operational and/or regulatory guidelines.

  • 본 연구는 원자력발전소용 시뮬레이션 언어인 DSNP 언어를 이용하여 CANDU-6 발전소 운전 모사 프로그램을 구성함으로써 핵심계통인 1차냉각재 계통(PHTS)과 2차 계통 일부가 정상 및 과도조건에서 보일 수 있는 운전 상태를 연구하였다. DSNP 프로그램은 원자로심과 증기발생기에서의 열전달 모델, 열수송계통 펌프 모델 및 가압기 열수력 모델을 포함하고 있으며, 파이프(pipe)라는 단위 구성체를 이용하여 1차 냉각재계통을 노드화하여 계통 모사가 실현된다. 정상상태 100% 전출력 운전시 대표적인 운전변수를 기준으로 DSNP 결과와 CANDU-6 발전소 설계치를 비교해본 결과 서로 매우 근사한 값을 나타내었으며, 이는 과도상태 모사의 초기조건으로 합당한 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구에서 선택된 과도상태 모사시 DSNP 프로그램은 매우 안정된 '최종정상상태'를 얻음에 따라 원자로의 기계 물리학적 변화를 합리적으로 모사하고 있음을 알 수 있었다. CANDU-6 단계감발 운전시 동적 거동을 원자로 설계자료인 '예비 안전성 평가 보고서(PSAR)'와 비교한 결과 단기적 거동은 PSAR 결과와 다소 다른 점이 있었으나 전체적으로 합리적인 운전변수 값을 얻을 수 있었다. 단기적 거동에 대한 입증은 원자로 운전자료를 통하여 가능할 것으로 사료된다. 이상과 같이 본 연구를 통해 구성한 DSNP 프로그램은 보완 및 개선의 여지가 있으나 현재의 수준으로도 CANDU-6 발전소의 일부 과도상태 모사가 가능한 것으로 판단된다

  • Recently, a CANDU digital reactivity computer system (CDRCS) to measure the worth of the liquid zone controller in a CANDU-6 was developed and successfully applied to a physics test of refurbished Wolsong Unit 1. In advance of using the CDRCS, its measureable reactivity range should be investigated and confirmed. There are two reasons for this investigation. First, the CANDU-6 has a larger reactor and smaller excore detectors than a general PWR and consequently the measured reactivity is likely to reflect the peripheral power variation only, not the whole core. The second reason is photo neutrons generated from the interaction of the moderator and gamma-rays, which are never considered in a PWR. To evaluate the limitations of the CDRCS, several tens of three-dimensional steady and transient simulations were performed. The simulated detector signals were used to obtain the dynamic reactivity. The difference between the dynamic reactivity and the static worth increases in line with the water level changes. The maximum allowable reactivity was determined to be 1.4 mk in the case of CANDU-6 by confining the difference to less than 1%.

  • Targeting at simulating the application of thorium-uranium (TU) fuel in the CANDU-6 reactor, this paper analyzes the process using the code DRAGON/DONJON where the discrete TU fuel pins are applied in the CANDU-6 reactor under the time-average equilibrium refueling. The results show that the coolant void reactivity of the assembly analyzed in this paper is lower than that of 37-element bundle cell with natural uranium and 37-element bundle cell with mixed TU fuel pins; that the max time-average channel/bundle power of the core meets the limits - less than 6700kW/860 kW; that the fuel conversion ratio is higher than that of the CANDU-6 reactor with natural uranium; and that the exit burnup increases to 13400 MWd/tU. Thus, the simulation in this paper with the fuel in the 37-element bundle cell using discrete TU fuel pins can be considered to be applied in CANDU-6 reactor with adequate modifications of the core structure and operating modes.
