[en] Manufacturing process of IPS Mock-up was initiated in late of 2003 with DAEWOO Precision industries Company. Manufacturing drawings due to detail drawings are composed of Outer assembly and Inner assembly. Welding of IPS Mock-up was performed by the GMAW(Gas Metal Arc Welding) process. After the welding process, non-destructive examination was conducted. Leak test was performed to the Main cooling water part and Neon gas inter-space gap part by the He gas injection with the pressure of 6.0 kg_f/cm² and 30 minutes holding time. the result was shown that there was no leak at the Neon gas inter-space gap part but leak was occurred at Main cooling water part according to imperfect screw of purge plug. so, it was re-finished and test was performed to certify the leak tightness. To satisfy the HANARO Limiting Operation Condition, IPS should be tested ahead of installation at the HANARO reactor by the use of test facilities. IPS Mock-up and its test facilities will be designed and used for the test of 'HANARO flow tube pressure drop', 'IPS inner pressure drop' and 'IPS inner vibration'

[en] This report contains the design, fabrication and accurate installation of ST3 shield, which would be installed at ST3 beam port of HANARO. At first, we designed and fabricated ST3 shield casemate composed of 14 blocks. We filled it with heavy concrete, lead ingot and polyethylene that mixed B₄C powder and epoxy. The average filling density of total shield casemate was 4.7g/cm³. The developed ST3 shield was installed at the ST3 beam port and the accuracy of installation for each beam path and channel was evaluated. We found that the extraction of neutron beam to meet the requirement of neutron spectrometer is possible. Also, we developed ancillary equipment such as BGU, quick shutter and exterior shield door for the effective opening and closing of neutron beam. As a result of this study, it was found that neutron spectrometer such as neutron reflectometer and high intensity powder diffractomater can be installed at the ST3 beam port

[en] The purpose of the cold source is to increase the available neutron flux delivered to instruments at wavelength 4 ∼ 12 A. The major engineering targets of this CNS facility is established for a reach out of very high gain factors in consideration with the cold neutron flux, moderator, circulation loop, heat load, a simplicity of the maintenance of the facility, safety in the operation of the facility against the hydrogen explosion and a layout of a minimum physical interference with the present facilities. The cold source project has been divided into 5 phases: (1) pre-conceptual (2) conceptual design (3) Testing (4) detailed design and procurement (5) installation and operation. Although there is sometime overlap between the phases, in general, they are sequential. The pre-conceptual design and concept design of KCNS has been performed on elaborations of PNPI Russia and review by Technicatome, Air Liquid, CILAS France. In the design of cold neutron source, the characteristics of cold moderators have been studied to obtain the maximum gain of cold neutron, and the analysis for radiation heat, design of hydrogen system, vacuum system and helium system have been performed. The possibility for materialization of the concept in the proposed conceptual design has been reviewed in view of securing safety and installing at HANARO. Above all, the thermosiphon system to remove heat by circulation of sub-cooled two phase hydrogen has been selected so that the whole device could be installed in the reactor pool with the reduced volume. In order to secure safety, hydrogen safety has been considered on protection to prevent from hydrogen-oxygen reaction at explosion of hydrogen-oxygen e in the containment. A lay out of the installation, a maintenance and quality assurance program and a localization are included in this report. Requirements of user, regulatory, safety, operation, maintenance should be considered to be revised for detailed design, testing, installation

[en] Cold neutron source facility is going to be built up in its 30 MW reactor HANARO in order to provide its scientific community a full range of neutron experimental devices. The liquid hydrogen cold neutron moderator currently under development will be positioned inside a vertical hole with 16 cm in diameter at the heavy water reflector of the reactor. In the design of cold neutron source (CNS), it is very important to measure the heat load experimentally for sizing of heat removal system and selection of the refrigerator, etc. Analysis of heat release data from gamma-rays shown that the experimental results are underestimated. The cause of underestimation can be explained by two cases. One is the different circumstance that the measurement was executed in CNS channel filled with light water, but the calculation was carried out in the vacuum channel. And the other is the fact that the calibration of IC-Gray was executed in the different range from that of real measurement. Therefore the measurement by IC-Gray was used only for calibration of the calculation code, and the calculation data by MCNP will be used as a ground data of design.

[en] The analyses of the postulated loss-of-coolant accidents of the HANARO fuel test loop have been carried out based on the evaluation method as described in the KINS/GT-N007-1. Double-ended guillotine breaks and longitudinal splits of pipes have been investigated. MARS/FTL code has been used for the analyses of the loss-of coolant accidents. Evaluation models such as the Moody model for discharge rate calculation and the Baker-Just model for water-metal reaction calculation were used. Multipliers were also introduced to the correlations of heat transfer coefficients in the MARS/FTL code in order to calculate conservative cladding temperatures for accidents. Consequently the maximum cladding temperatures are 1286K(1012.9 .deg. C) and 1264K(990.9 .deg. C) for PWR and CANDU fuel test modes respectively. The location of pipe break is the cold leg in the HANARO pool and the type of pipe break is the longitudinal split of pipe. The maximum cladding temperatures are less than the design limit of the fuel cladding temperature for PWRs

[en] This report deals with the prediction of the pressure and temperature of the room 1 for the pipe break accidents of the 3-pin fuel test loop. The 3-pin fuel test loop is an experimental facility for nuclear fuel tests at the operation conditions similar to those of PWR and CANDU power plants. Because the most processing systems of the 3-pin fuel test loop are placed in the room 1. The structural integrity of the room 1 should be evaluated for the postulated accident conditions. Therefore the pressures and temperatures of the room 1 needed for the structural integrity evaluation have been calculated by using MARS code. The pressures and temperatures of the room 1 have been calculated in various conditions such as the thermal hydraulic operation parameters, the locations of pipe break, and the thermal properties of the room 1 wall. It is assumed that the pipe break accident occurs in the letdown operation without regeneration, because the mass and energy release to the room 1 is expected to be the largest. As a result of the calculations the maximum pressure and temperature are predicted to be 208kPa and 369.2K(96.0 .deg. C) in case the heat transfer is considered in the room 1 wall. However the pressure and temperature are asymptotically 243kPa and 378.1K(104.9 .deg. C) assuming that the heat transfer does not occur in the room 1 wall

[en] Fuel Test Loop(FTL) has been developed to meet the increasing demand on fuel irradiation and burn up test required the development of new fuels in Korea. It is designed to provide the test conditions of high pressure and temperature like the commercial PWR and CANDU power plants. And also the FTL have the cooling capability to sufficiently remove the thermal power of the in-pile test section for normal operation, Anticipated Operational Occurrences(AOOs), and Design Basis Accidents(DBAs). This report deals with the Small Break Loss Of Coolant Accidents (SBLOCAs) in HANARO pool for the 3-pin fuel test loop. The MARS code has been used for the prediction of the emergency core cooling capability of the FTL and the peak cladding temperature of the test fuels for the SBLOCAs. The location of the pipe break is assumed at the hill taps connecting the cold and hot legs in HANARO pool to the inlet and outlet nozzles of the In-Pile test Section (IPS). The break size is also assumed less than 20% of the cross section area of the pipe. The test fuels are heated up when the cold leg break occur. However, they are not heated up when the hot leg break occur. The maximum Peak Cladding Temperatures (PCT) are predicted to be about 906.9 .deg. C for the cold leg break accident in PWR fuel test mode and 971.9 .deg. C in CANDU fuel test mode respectively. The critical break size is about the 6% of the cross section area of the pipe for PWR fuel test mode and the 8% for CANDU fuel test mode. The PCTs meet the design criterion of commercial PWR fuel that the maximum PCT is lower than 1204 .deg. C

[en] The Fuel Test Loop(FTL) has been developed to meet the increasing demand on fuel irradiation and burn up test required the development of new fuels in Korea. It is designed to provide the test conditions of high pressure and temperature like the commercial PWR and CANDU power plants. And also the FTL have the cooling capability to sufficiently remove the thermal power of the in-pile test section for normal operation, Anticipated Operational Occurrences(AOOs), and Design Basis Accidents(DBAs). This report deals with the Large Break Loss of Coolant Accidents (LBLOCAs) in HANARO pool for the 3-pin fuel test loop. The MARS code has been used for the prediction of the emergency core cooling capability of the FTL and the peak cladding temperature of the test fuels for the LBLOCAs. The location of the pipe break is assumed at the hill taps connecting the cold and hot legs in HANARO pool to the inlet and outlet nozzles of the In-Pile test Section (IPS). Double ended guillotine break is assumed for the large break loss of coolant accidents. The discharge coefficients of 0.1, 0.33, 0.67, 1.0 are investigated for the LBLOCAs. The test fuels for PWR and CANDU test modes are not heated up for the LBLOCAs caused by the double ended guillotine break in the HANARO pool. The reason is that the sufficient emergency cooling water to cool down the test fuels is supplied continuously to the in-pile test section. Therefore the PCTs for the LBLOCAs in the HANARO pool meet the design criterion of commercial PWR fuel that maximum PCT is lower than 1204 .deg. C

[en] In the long term cooling phase that the emergency cooling water injection ends, the performance of the residual heat removal for the 3-pin fuel test loop has been predicted by a simplified heat transfer model. In the long term cooling phase the residual heat is 1323W for PWR fuel test mode and 1449W for CANDU fuel test mode. The each residual heat is assumed as 2% of the fission power of the test fuel used in the anticipated operational occurrence and design basis accident analyses. The each fission power used for the analyses is 105% of the rated fission power in the normal operation. In the long term cooling phase the residual heat is removed to the HANARO pool through the double pressure vessels of the in-pile test section. Saturate pooling boiling is assumed on the test fuel and condensation heat transfer is expected on the inner wall of the fuel carrier and the flow divider. Natural convection heat transfer on a heated vertical wall is also assumed on the outer wall of the outer pressure vessel. The conduction heat transfer is only considered in the gap between the double pressure vessels charged with neon gas and in the downcomer filled with coolant. The heat transfer rate between the coolant temperature of 152 .deg. C in the in-pile test section and the water temperature of 45 .deg. C in the HANARO pool is predicted as about 1666W. The 152 .deg. C is the saturate temperature of the coolant pressure predicted from the MARS code. The cooling capacity of 1666W is greater than the residual heats of 1323W and 1449W. Consequently the long term cooling performance of the 3-pin fuel test loop is sufficient for the anticipated operational occurrences and design basis accidents
