액체금속로의 노심은 핵연료봉과 와이어랩에 의한 부수로로 구성된 복잡한 기하학적 구조의 집합체로 이루어져 있다. 이러한 액체금속로의 정상상태 및 과도상태 노심열수력 상세해석을 위하여 부수로 해석코드 MATRA-LMR 코드를 개발하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 ORNL 19 Pin 실험결과와 EBR-II 실험 모의시 정상상태 노심열수력 해석코드인 SLTHEN 코드 계산에 사용되었던 실험데이타를 사용하여 현재 MATRA-LMR 코드로 계산을 수행한 후 그 결과를 비교.분석함으로써, MATRA-LMR 코드의 개발 상태를 평가해 보았다 ORNL 19 Pin 실험과 MATRA-LMR 계산를 비교한 결과 실험을 정확히 예측하는 것으로 나타났다. SLTHEN 코드 계산결과와의 비교에서는 집합체 평균 출구온도와 부수로 최대 출구온도를 비교한 결과 두 코드의 계산은 약 3% 이하의 차이를 보이고 있다. 현재의 MATRA-LMR 코드는 단일 집합체 계산만 가능하나 앞으로의 작업을 통해 전 노심 해석이 가능하도록 다중 집합체 계산 코드로 개발할 예정이다.

The concept of Hybrid Safety Injection Tank (Hybrid SIT) proposed by the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI) has been introduced for the purpose of application to the Advanced Power Reactor Plus (APR+). In this study, the SBO situation of the APR+ was analyzed by using the MARS-KS code in order to evaluate whether the operation of the Hybrid SIT has an effect on the cooling performance of the Reactor Coolant System (RCS). According to the analysis, when the actuation valve on the pressure balancing line (PBL) is opened, the Hybrid SIT's pressure rises rapidly, forming equilibrium with the RCS pressure; subsequently, a flow is injected from the Hybrid SIT into the reactor vessel through the direct vessel injection (DVI) line. The analysis showed that it is possible to keep the core temperature below melting temperature during the operation of a Hybrid SIT.

Nuclear power plants are equipped with the reactor trip system (RTS) and the engineered safety features actuation system (ESFAS) to improve safety on the normal operation. In the event of the design basis accident (DBA), a various of post accident monitor(PAM)systems support to provide important details (e.g. Containment pressure, temperature and pressure of reactor cooling system and core exit temperature) to determine action of main control room (MCR). Operator should be immediately activated for the accident mitigation with the information. Especially, core exit temperature is a critical parameter because the operating mode converts from normal mode to emergency mode when the temperature of core exit reaches $649^{\circ}C$. In this study, uncertainty which was caused by exterior environment, characteristic of thermocouple/connector and accuracy of calibrator/indicator was evaluated in accordance with ANSI-ISA 67.04. The square root of the sum of square (SRSS) methodology for combining uncertainty terms that are random and independent was used in the synthesis. Every uncertainty that may exist in the hardware which is used to measure the core exit temperature was conservatively applied and the associative relation between the elements of uncertainty was considered simultaneously. As a result of uncertainty evaluation, the channel statistical allowance (CSA) of single channel of core exit temperature was +1.042%Span. The range of uncertainty, -0.35%Span ($-4.05^{\circ}C$) ~ +2.08%Span($24.25^{\circ}C$), was obtained as the operating criteria of core exit temperature.
