  • 본 연구에서는 경수로용 핵연료집합체의 전체지지격자(Full Size Grid)와 부분지지격자(Small Size Grid)에 대한 정적 좌굴강도 실험과 전체 지지격자와 부분지지격자를 구성하는 지지격자판(Grid Strap)에 대한 정적 좌굴해석을 수행하여 지지격자의 좌굴특성을 분석하였으며, 분석결과를 이용하여 전체지지격자와 부분지지격자에 대한 좌굴하중값의 예측 가능성을 평가하였다. 좌굴강도 실험은 웨스팅하우스형 연료의 $17{\times}17$셀을 갖는 전체지지격자와 $1{\times}1,\;1{\times}2,\;1{\times}3,\;1{\times}4,\;1{\times}5,\;1{\times}17\;,2{\times}1,\;2{\times}2,\;2{\times}3,\;2{\times}9,\;2{\times}17,\;3{\times}17$ 등의 셀을 갖는 부분지지격자에 대하여 수행하였으며, 실험결과를 이용하여 지지격자의 좌굴강도와 지지격자의 행(rows)과 열(columns) 사이의 관계식을 제시하였다. 좌굴강도 해석은 범용 유한요소해석코드인 ANSYS를 이용하여 수행하였으며, 해석결과를 이용하여 지지격자의 좌굴특성을 분석하고 실험결과와 비교평가 하였다.

  • In this study, methodologies for checking the interference between in-core instrumentation (ICI) guide tubes for routing of ICI guide tubes in the reactor coolant system of typical Pressurized Water Reactor under cold and normal operation (NOP) conditions are presented. The closest points of ICI guide tubes under cold condition are calculated by using minimize technique and are used as data for NOP analysis. Movements of ICI guide tubes under NOP condition are performed by the commercial computer code, SUPERPIPE.

  • A dynamic time-history analysis of the coupled internals and core in the vertical direction is performed as a part of the fuel assembly qualification program. To reflect the interaction between the fuel rods and grid cage, friction element is developed and is implemented. Also derived here is a method to calculate a hydraulic force on the reactor internals due to pipe break. Peak responses are obtained for the excitations induced from earthquake and pipe break. The dynamic responses such as fuel assembly axial forces and lift-off characteristics are investigated.

  • The Helically coiled tube Once-Through Steam Generator (H-OTSG) is a key piece of equipment for compact small reactors. The present study developed and verified a thermal-hydraulic design and performance analysis computer code for a countercurrent H-OTSG installed in a small pressurized water reactor. The H-OTSG is represented by one characteristic tube in the model. The secondary side of the H-OTSG is divided into single-phase liquid region, nucleate boiling region, postdryout region, and single-phase vapor region. Different heat transfer correlations and pressure drop correlations are reviewed and applied. To benchmark the developed physical models and the computer code, H-OTSGs developed in Marine Reactor X and System-integrated Modular Advanced ReacTor are simulated by the code, and the results are compared with the design data. The overall characteristics of heat transfer area, temperature distributions, and pressure drops calculated by the code showed general agreement with the published data. The thermal-hydraulic characteristics of a typical countercurrent H-OTSG are analyzed. It is demonstrated that the code can be utilized for design and performance analysis of an H-OTSG.
