초록

Recent failures of Heat Transport (HT) system Liquid Relief Valves (LRVs) at several CANDU 6 plants resulted in heavy water spills. A multi-discipline KAERI task team along with AECL representatives was set up to assess the specific implications on the Wolsong 2/3/4 station. The study applied the knowledge gained from the generic study by conducting a fundamental review of the specific design of Welsong 2/3/4. The purpose of the study was to demonstrate compliance with the relevant codes and licensing regulations and to identify the improvements to the design and operating procedures applicable to Wolsong 2/3/4. This paper presents the key recommendations of this study.
