The Korean Nuclear-Hydrogen Technology Development (NHTD) Plan will be performing irradiation testing of coated particle fuel at HANARO to support the development of VHTR in Korea. This testing will be carried out to demonstrate and qualify TRISO-coated particle fuel for use in VHTR. The testing will be irradiated in an inert gas atmosphere without on-line temperature monitoring and control combined with on-line fission product monitoring of the sweep gas. The irradiation device contains two test rods, one has nine fuel compacts and the other five compacts and eight graphite specimens. Each compact contains about 260 TRISO-coated particles. The irradiation device is being loaded and irradiated into the OR5 hole of the in HANARO core from August 2013. The device will be operated for about 150 effective full-power days at a peak temperature of about $1030^{\circ}C$ in BOC (Beginning of Cycle) during irradiation testing. After a peak burn-up of about 4 atomic percentage and a peak fast neutron fluence of about $1.7{\times}10^{21}\;n/cm^2$, PIE (Post-Irradiation Examination) of the irradiated coated particle fuel will be performed at IMEF (Irradiated Material Examination Facility). This paper reviews the design of test rod and irradiation device for coated particle fuel, and discusses the technical results for irradiation testing at HANARO.

독스핀 하이드로클로라이드 선택전극의 구조와 성능특징에 대하여 개발하였다. 전극의 3가지 형태가 있다. I. 플라스틱 막 II. 코팅된 선형 III. 흑연으로 된 로드, 이것들은 암모늄 라이네케이트를 갖는 독스핀 하이드로클로라이드의 결합에 기초하여 구성되었다. 막의 조성, 가소제의 종류, 시험용액의 pH, 담궈 놓은 시간 그리고 전극에 있는 이질 이온들의 영향을 조사했다. $25^{\circ}C$에서 전극 I, II, III에 대해 각각 57.41 ${\pm}$ 0.5, 56.22 ${\pm}$ 0.2 and 52.88 ${\pm}$ 0.7 mV 의 평균 보정 그래프 기울기를 갖는 Nernst 반응을 보여준다. 그리고 전극 I, II, III에 대해 $1{\times}10^{-2}-1{\times}10^{-6}M$, $5{\times}10^{-2}-1{\times}10^{-6}M$ 그리고 $1{\times}10^{-3}-5{\times}10^{-6}M$의 독스핀 하이드로클로라이드 농도범위에 있고, $5.0{\times}10^{-7}M$, $6.3{\time}10^{-7}M$ 그리고 $2.5{\times}10^{-6}M$의 검출한계를 갖는다는 것을 보여준다. 만들어진 전극은 pH 3 - 7의 범위에서 선택적으로 정밀하고, 사용 가능한 평균을 보였다. 공통양이온, 알칼로이드, 설탕 아미노산, 그리고 약품첨가제로부터의 방해가 기록되었다. 제안된 전극에 의해 얻어진 결과는 약의 조세와 생물학적 유체에 있어서 약물의 확인에 성공적으로 적용되었다.

A novel solid-contact indium(III)-selective sensor based on bis-(1H-benzimidazole-5-methoxy-2-[(4-methoxy-3, 5-dimethyl-1-pyridinyl) 2-methyl]) thiosulfinate, known as an omeprazole dimer (OD) and a neutral ionophore, was constructed, and its performance characteristics were evaluated. The sensor was prepared by applying a membrane cocktail containing the ionophore to a graphite rod pre-coated with polyethylene dioxythiophene (PEDOT) conducting polymer as the ion-to-electron transducer. The membrane contained 3.6% OD, 2.3% oleic acid (OA) and 62% dioctyl phthalate (DOP) as the solvent mediator in PVC and produced a good potentiometric response to indium(III) ions with a Nernstian slope of 19.09 mV/decade. The constructed sensor possessed a linear concentration range from $3{\times}10^{-7}$ to $1{\times}10^{-2}$ M and a lower detection limit (LDL) of $1{\times}10^{-7}$ M indium(III) over a pH range of 4.0-7.0. It also displayed a fast response time and good selectivity for indium(III) over several other ions. The sensor can be used for longer than three months without any considerable divergence in potential. The sensor was utilized for direct and flow injection potentiometric (FIP) determination of indium(III) in alloys. The parameters that control the flow injection method were optimized. Indium(III) was quantitatively recovered, and the results agreed with those obtained using atomic absorption spectrophotometry, as confirmed by the f and t values. The sensor was also utilized as an indicator electrode for the potentiometric titration of fluoride in the presence of chloride, bromide, iodide and thiocyanate ions using indium(III) nitrate as the titrant.
