Abstract

In this study, elevated temperature design and integrity evaluation have been conducted using two different piping design codes for the high-temperature piping systems of sodium integral effect test loop for safety simulation and assessment(STELLA-2) being developed by KAERI(Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute). The design code of ASME B31.1 for power piping and French nuclear grade piping design guideline, RCC-MRx RD-3600 were applied, and conservatism of those codes was quantified based on the piping integrity evaluation results. The piping system of Model DHRS, Model IHTS and PSLS are to be installed in STELLA-2. The integrity evaluation results for the three piping systems according to the two design codes showed that integrity of the piping system was confirmed. As a code comparison result, ASME B31.1 was shown to be more conservative for sustained loads while RD-3600 was more conservative for thermal loads compared to B31.1.

본 연구에서는 한국원자력연구원이 개발 중인 소듐 열유동 종합효과 시험장치(STELLA-2)의 주요 배관 계통을 대상으로 고온 설계를 수행하고, 두 가지 설계기술기준에 따라 배관의 건전성 평가를 수행하였다. 배관 설계기술기준으로는 일반 압력배관에 관한 ASME B31.1과 프랑스의 원자력등급 배관 설계기술기준인 RCC-MRx RD-3600을 적용하였으며, 이들 기술기준의 보수성을 정량적으로 비교 및 분석하였다. STELLA-2 소듐시설에서는 모의 잔열제거계통(Model DHRS), 모의 중간열전달계통(Model IHTS) 및 펌프 모의계통(PSLS)에 배관이 설치되는데, 두 설계기술기준을 따라 이들 배관 계통에 대해 건전성 평가를 수행한 결과 설계 건전성이 확인되었으며, 설계 기술기준 간 비교분석 결과 유지하중에 대해서는 ASME B31.1이, 열하중에 대해서는 RCC-MRx RD-3600이 더 보수적인 것으로 평가되었다.
