  • A model for calculation of fuel temperature profile using binary gas mixture of Helium and Xenon for gap gas conductance is proposed here. In this model, the temperature profile of a fuel pencil from fuel centreline to fuel surface has been calculated by taking into account the dilution of Helium gas filled during fuel manufacturing due to accumulation of fission gas Xenon. In this model an explicit calculation of gap gas conductance of binary gas mixture of Helium and Xenon has been carried out. A computer code Fuel Characteristics Calculator (FCCAL) is developed for the model. The phenomena modelled by FCCAL takes into account heat conduction through the fuel pellet, heat transfer from pellet surface to the cladding through the gap gas and heat transfer from cladding to coolant. The binary noble gas mixture model used in FCCAL is an improvement over the parametric model of Lassmann and Pazdera. The results obtained from the code FCCAL is used for fuel temperature calculation in 3-D neutron diffusion solver for the coolant outlet temperature of the core at steady operation at full power. It is found that there is an improvement in calculation time without compromising accuracy with FCCAL.

  • We analyze the transverse nuclear magnetizations of 129Xe and 131Xe in a vapor cell containing natural Xe, 87Rb, and buffer gases. Th e Xe atoms are polarized th rough spin-exch ange optical pumping (SEOP) with Rb atoms under low-magnetic-field conditions. From the free-induction-decay (FID) signal, we measure the nuclear magnetization of the Xe atoms in the Xe-Rb vapor cell. Furthermore, we measure the dependence of the gyromagnetic ratio on the magnetization of 129Xe and 131Xe by examining the amplitude of the FID signal of each isotope, and we evaluate the relationship between the magnetic field gradient and transverse relaxation rate for both of the 129Xe and 131Xe isotopes.

  • 국내에서 구입 가능한 국내산, 일본산, 중국산 천연안료를 대상으로 단청 재료로서의 안정성을 확인하고자 내광성 및 내공해성 실험을 실시하였다. 본 연구에서는 단청 기법이나 바탕재의 영향을 배제한 채, 안료의 고유한 특성을 확인하고자 하였다. 안료 칠을 위한 교착제로는 천연재료인 아교와 현재 단청 공사 시 널리 사용되는 합성수지를 선택하였으며, 열화 실험용 인공 광원은 제논 아크 램프를, 오염 가스로는 이산화질소 가스를 선정하였다. 안료가 열화 된 정도는 색도를 측정하여 변화 정도를 비교하였다. 내광성 실험 결과, 광물성 안료 중 청색, 녹색계열의 안료와 황토, 백토, 석간주 등 토양성 안료들이 내광성이 양호하게 나타났고, 자황, 웅황, 진사, 연단 등이 좋지 않게 확인됐다. 내공해성 실험 결과, 연단을 제외한 천연안료 대부분의 내공해성이 양호한 것으로 나타났으며, 전반적으로 합성수지로 칠했을 때 보다 아교로 칠 했을 경우 내공해성이 더 양호했다.
