As leakage in nuclear power plants could cause a variety of problems, it is very critical to monitor leakage from the safety point of view. Accordingly, a new type of leak detection system is currently being developed and flow characteristics of the sampling and transportation system are investigated by using numerical analysis as a part of the development process in this study. The results showed that the steam mass fraction varied according to the effect of the gap between the insulation and piping component, transportation velocity, and material properties of porous media during the sampling and transportation process. The results of this study should be useful for understanding flow characteristics of the sampling and transportation system and its design and application.

Orbital TIG welding process being used fur the new construction, the repair of nuclear piping system ana other critical piping. When weld quality is important or there are a large number of similar weld to be made or when access is restricted with manual torch, Orbital TIG welding is most effective process because of practical for out-of-position and high weld quality. Furthermore, typically superior to manual TIG welding process where the pipe remains in place and the tungsten electrode orbits the weld. As smaller and more compact welding head is being developed, could operate in tight spaces and lend itself to this type of application better than any other welding process. Orbital TIG welding has become more and more field practical process.

The process gas piping of the offshore plant can cause a massive explosion if the gas leakage occurs during operation. For the purpose of precaution of gas leakage accident, an air pressure test is performed on the process equipment tests using a test pump as much as the power to the piping inner side, mix 99% nitrogen gas and 1% helium gas. The purpose of the air pressure test is to check the work conformity process by handling and regulation for initial piping process, assembly, installation of module, welding, center alignment of the pipes assembling flange gasket in an unrestrained free state. In this paper, the regulation of the problematic air pressure test was analyzed and the solution criteria were established. And leakage tests of existing equipment were performed applying these solution methods. As a result, it was confirmed that there was no problem.

The application of the induction bending process to pipe systems in various industrial fields is increasing. Recently, efforts have also been made to apply this bending process to nuclear power plants because it can innovatively reduce welded parts of the curved pipes, such as elbows. However, there have been no cases of the application of induction bending to the piping of nuclear power plants. In this study, the applicability of the P91 induction bending piping for the sodium-cooled fast reactor PGSFR was validated through high temperature low cycle fatigue tests and creep tests using P91 induction bending pipe specimens. The tests confirmed that the materials sufficiently satisfied the fatigue life and the creep rupture life requirements for P91 steel at 550 ℃ in the ASME B&PV Code, Sec. III, Div. 5. The results show that the effects of heating and bending by the induction bending process on the material properties were not significant and the induction bending process could be applicable to piping system of PGSFR well.

The purpose of this paper is to assess the structural integrity of piping penetrations for nuclear power plants. A piping qualification analysis describes loads due to deadweight, pressure difference acts normal to the plate, thermal transients, and earthquakes, among other events, on piping penetrations that have been modeled as an anchor. Amodel was analyzed using a commercial finite element program. Apiping penetration analysis model was constructed with an assembly of pipe, head fittings and sleeves. Normally, the design load, thus obtained, will consist of three moments and three forces, referred to a Cartesian coordinate system. When comparing the stress analysis results from each required cutting position, the general membrane stress intensities and local membrane plus bending stress intensities during a structural evaluation cannot exceed the allowable amount of stress for the design loads. Therefore, the piping penetration design satisfies the code requirements.

In the dismantling process of a reactor coolant system (RCS) piping, a radiation protection plan should be established to minimize the radiation exposure doses of dismantling workers. Hence, it is necessary to estimate the individual effective dose in the RCS piping dismantling process when decommissioning a nuclear power plant. In this study, the radiation exposure doses of the dismantling workers at different positions was estimated using the MicroShield dose assessment program based on the NUREG/CR-1595 report. The individual effective dose, which is the sum of the effective dose to each tissue considering the working time, was used to estimate the radiation exposure dose. The estimations of the simulation results for all RCS piping dismantling tasks satisfied the dose limits prescribed by the ICRP-60 report. In dismantling the RCS piping of the Kori-1 or Wolsong-1 units in South Korea, the estimation and reduction method for the radiation exposure dose, and the simulated results of this study can be used to implement the radiation safety for optimal dismantling by providing information on the radiation exposure doses of the dismantling workers.

고온에서 운전되는 플랜트에서는 열변형에 의한 배관 사고를 예방하고 배관계통의 우선 검사관리 부위의 선정을 위해 배관 시스템하중 해석을 수행하는 경우가 많다. 본 연구에서는 국내 한 공정플랜트에서 설계변경에 따라 반응기와 반응기 사이에 추가 설치된 연결배관을 대상으로 배관 시스템응력해석을 수행하였다. 특히 배관에 일반적으로 설치되는 하중행거(hanger) 이외에 열팽창을 흡수하는 신축이음(expansion joint)이 함께 설치된 경우의 배관 특성을 연구하였다. 이를 위해 배관 응력을 형성하는 구조적 요인의 영향을 평가하기 위해 배관계에 포함된 행거와 신축이음이 비정상적으로 작동되는 경우도 가정하여 해석하였다. 추가적인 인입라인이 있는 경우도 해석을 수행하였다. 정상 운전 시 배관계의 시스템 응력 결과와 비정상적인 운전 경우의 해석결과를 비교하여 각각 배관요소의 역할을 연구하였다.

플랜트 프로젝트의 배관공사는 플랜트 설비의 중요한 공종(工種)이다. 종래에는 시공 현장에서 작업자가 수백장의 배관스풀 도면과 문서를 가지고 다니면서 설치 확인 내용을 기록하고, 현장사무실에서 기록한 사항을 다시 시스템에 입력 혹은 문서작성을 해야 하기 때문에 중복 업무가 발생하여 배관 공사의 효율성 저하 및 공기지연을 초래한다. 또한, 각각 다른 장소에서 각 다른 작업자가 설치 이력 관리 업무를 수행하기 때문에 통합적인 공정관리를 하려면 전체적인 공기가 많이 소요된다는 문제점이 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 배관스풀마다 서로 다른 QR Code를 부착하고 배관공사중에 배관스풀의 이력을 유무선망과 연계하여 QR Code로 통합 관리하는 안드로이드 어플리케이션을 구현하고자 한다.

Galvanized steel pipe, copper pipe and stainless steel pipe, which is being used in waterworks piping materials. In case of galvanized steel pipe, the precipitation of a product is being generated due to the pollution of the tap water, a white water phenomenon, and various corrosion reaction because a zinc ion is melted by tap water. And in case of a cupper pipe, many problems which is harm in sanitation appeared because of a inflow of harmfulness substance by a frequent accident of a water leakage. So, to prevent these problems, it is substituted for stainless steel pipe. However, those problems is still occurring because of badness of welding, a problem of a water leakage in connection part, and a increment of construction expenses. Therefore, this research has examined the laying period according to each piping thickness and a corrosion shape according to each laying depth after laying in various soils(sandy loam, loamy, clay loam, clay) using galvanized steel pipe, copper pipe, and stainless steel pipe. That is, we has studied the data which is necessary for a rational method of preserving the quality of water by examining the corrosion properties of piping materials in the soil environment which waterworks piping materials is being used.
