Selection of Measurement Locations at Inner Barrel Assembly Top Plate in the Reactor

원자로 내부배럴집합체 상부면 측정위치 선정

A comprehensive vibration assessment program for the Advanced Power Reactor 1400 reactor vessel internals is established in accordance with the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission Regulatory Guide 1.20 Revision 3. This paper is related to instruments and measurement locations based on the vibration and stress response analysis results at the inner barrel assembly top plate in the reactor. The analysis results of the inner barrel assembly top plate in the reactor show that the deterministic stress and deformation due to the reactor coolant pump induced pressure pulsations are larger than the random stress and deformation induced by the flow turbulence. The selection of the instruments and measurement locations at Inner barrel assembly top plate in the reactor is essential requirements and very important study process for the vibration and stress measurement program in comprehensive vibration assessment program for the Advanced Power Reactor 1400 reactor vessel internals.
