Elastic-plastic fracture toughness $J_{lc}$ can be used as an effective design criterion in elastic plastic fracture mechanics. Most of these systems are$J_{lc}$ $J_{lc}$ value at high temperature must be determined for use of integrity evaluation and designing of such systems. Elastic-plastic fracture toughness $J_{lc}$ tests were performed on SA516/70 carbon steel plate and test results were analyzed according to ASTM E 813-87, ASTM E 813-89 and ASTM E 1152-87.safety and integrity are required for reactor pressure vessels because, they are operated in high temperature. There are single specimen method, which used as evaluation of safety and integrity for reactor pressure vessels. In this study, elastic-plastic fracture toughness($J_{lc}$) and J-$\Delta$a of SA 516/70 steel used as reactor pressure vessel steel are measured and evaluated at room temperature, 150$^{\circ}C $, 250$^{\circ}C $ and 370$^{\circ}C $ according to unloading compliance method.

A valve used in a high temperature and pressure condition for high-speed vehicle application was developed for fuel supply and cooling system. For weight reduction purpose, the size outline of valve was optimized based on its performance and operating environment. And the rigidity design was adopted by minimizing uses of sealing parts to prevent leakages. Also, A fluid analysis was performed to derive the optimized internal flow path design in consideration of minimized pressure drop. Finally, the valve performance was verified by installing the valve into the test equipment which enable to simulate endothermic fuel of high temperature in high-speed vehicle.

As one of the ways to enhance the economical features in sodium-cooled fast reactor development, the concept of an integrated steam generator and pump system (ISGPS) is proposed from a structural point of view. And the related intermediate heat transfer system (IHTS) piping layout compatible with the ISGPS is described in detail. To assure the creep design lifetime of 60 years, the structural integrity is investigated through high temperature structural evaluation procedures by the SIE ASME-NH computer code, which implements the ASME-NH design rules. From the results of this study, it is found that the proposed ISGPS concept is feasible and applicable to a commercial SFR design.

Vibration/noise analysis as well as strength of gear teeth, roller bearing life. joural bearing design are considered in order to develop the high-speed machine centrifugal pump which had a speed increaser. A Campbell diagram, in which the excitation sources caused by the mass unbalance of the rotors and the transmitted errors of the gearing are considered. shows that. at the operating speed. there are not the critical speed. A high-speed machine centrifugal pump was made in order to evaluate developed speed increaser. Also, strict API standard were introduced for reliability evaluation of developed speed increaser, and performance evaluation were carried out. The result that evaluation items about bearing vibration, shaft vibration, noise, and lubrication temperature were selected, and were tested. a high-speed machine centrifugal pump were able to know what were satisfied with API standard all.

Traction motors driven by high speed switching inverters is demanded higher operating temperature, severe duty cycles, higher starting current, frequent voltage transients and finally severe environmental exposure. For applications to inverter duty, traction motors needs a special insulation system, which has characteristics of increased bond strength, lower operating temperature and higher turn-to-turn insulation. In this paper, design considerations and manufacturing procedure of 200 Class insulation system with polyimde(Kapton) main insulation and silicone resin VPI process on the traction motor for EMU will be reviewed. And performance test and long life evaluation test which prove stability and long life evaluation test which prove stability and reliability of insulation system for traction motor will be introduced.

PHE(Process Heat Exchanger) is a key component required to transfer heat energy of $950^{\circ}C$ generated in a VHTR(Very High Temperature Reactor) to the chemical reaction that yields a large quantity of hydrogen. Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute established the gas loop for the performance test of components, which are used in the VHTR, and they manufactured a PHE prototype to be tested in the loop. In this study, as part of the high-temperature structural-integrity evaluation of the PHE prototype, which is scheduled to be tested in the gas loop, we carried out high-temperature structural-analysis modeling, thermal analysis, and thermal expansion analysis of the PHE prototype. The results obtained in this study will be used to design the performance test setup for the PHE prototype.

SOFC(Solid Oxide Fuel Cell) is one of the high-temperature fuel cells, SOFC system and Stack has a high temperature operating Characteristics. These Characteristics cause a lot of trouble in the design of the system and selection materials, securing durability, and securing safety performance. Therefore, For Commercialization and Supply of SOFC, the development of safety performance assessment techniques and evaluation systems should go together. In this study, we analyzed the evaluation items of SOFC Safety performance standards and risk factors of the stack for design of stack safety performance evaluation system. Based on the analyzed data, the evaluation item was deducted for design of stack safety performance evaluation system. Through the results of this study, we expect to facilitate the supply of SOFC and contribute to a safe use environment.

In a Korean Generation IV prototype sodium-cooled fast reactor (SFR), various types of high-temperature heat exchangers such as IHX (intermediate heat exchanger), DHX (decay heat exchanger), AHX (air heat exchanger), FHX (finned-tube sodium-to-air heat exchanger), and SG (steam generator) are to be designed and installed. In this study, the high-temperature design and integrity evaluation of the sodium-to-air heat exchanger AHX in the STELLA-1 (sodium integral effect test loop for safety simulation and assessment) test loop already installed at KAERI (Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute) and FHX in the SEFLA (sodium thermal-hydraulic experiment loop for finned-tube sodium-to-air heat exchanger) test loop to be installed at KAERI have been performed. Evaluations of creep-fatigue damage based on full 3D finite element analyses were conducted for the two heat exchangers according to the high-temperature design codes, and the integrity of the high-temperature design of the two heat exchangers was confirmed.
