Although many defects in PZR heater sleeve have been reported continually from operating experiences in oversea nuclear power plant, utilities get into difficulties in finding appropriate methods for diagnostics of the components due to the limited access or high radiation problems. Recently, as an alternative, diagnostics using Guided Wave Testing(GWT) are proposed and the attention of the methods has been growing gradually because of their long range inspection capability. This study is to investigate the effectiveness of GWT to detect PWSCC in welding points of PZR heater sleeve. Moreover, mode sensitivity analysis of GWT and optimal frequency for the diagnostics of PWSCC are presented by testing the mock-ups specimens that contain artificial flaws.

The applicability of stainless steel type 316N to the PZR surge-lines of OPR1000 and APR1400 is investigated. So far, strainless steel type 347 has been used for the OPR1000 surge-lines. The degree of improvement in the leak-before-break(LBB) and component design margin is evaluated when stainless steel type 347 is substituted by type 316N. For the study, the tensile and J-R tests on type 316N and type 347 stainless steels were performed at 316 and the microstructure of both types was examined. Stainless steel type 316N shows the higher values on the stress-strain curves, J-R curves and stress intensity, Sm, compared to those of type 347. Therefore, stainless steel type 316N ensures the higher LBB and component design margins. As a result, this study shows that stainless steel type 316N could substitute type 347 for the surge-lines of OPR1000 and APR1400.

피동충수용 혼합형 안전주입탱크는 한국원자력연구원에서 제안한 원자력 피동안전계통의 한 종류로, 안전주입탱크의 상부와 가압기를 연결하여 모든 운전압력 조건에서 냉각수 주입이 가능하도록 개선한 시스템이다. 본 연구에서는 피동충수용 혼합형 안전주입탱크, 가압기와 원자력압력용기에 대한 압력 네트워크를 통해 피동충수용 혼합형 안전주입탱크와 가압기의 압력이 평형이 되는 조건을 이론적으로 도출하였으며, 개별효과시험장치를 이용하여 안전주입탱크에서 발생하는 다양한 열수력 현상(증기응축 및 열혼합 현상)들을 파악하였다.

Alloy 600 and Alloy 82/182 materials have been used widely in PWR plants. But these materials are known to be susceptible to PWSCC(Primary Water Stress Corrosion Cracking). Recently, there have been several PWSCC events in major components due to repair welding, because repair welding in the dissimilar metal welds during the construction increases residual stress significantly on the inner surface of welds. In this paper, various residual stress analyses for repair welding were performed using FEM to check the effect of repair welding on residual stress distributions in PZR safety/relief nozzle. The results indicate that for inside surface repair welding, high tensile residual stress is developed on the inside surface of the nozzles.

In order to investigate the ways to enhance the seismic performance of APR1400 seismic fragile equipment by direct design changes, four equipment such as Reactor Vessel Support, Integrated Head Assembly, Remote Shutdown Console, and Pressurizer are reviewed using information of the main dimensions, seismic stress evaluation results, design FRS, etc. in this paper. In addition to the direct reinforcement of equipments, the feasibility of seismic isolation for the safety related cabinet is also investigated and the actual adaption plan of a commercial spring-damper system is briefly reviewed.

A station blackout experiment called SBO-01 was performed at the ATLAS facility. From the SBO-01 test, the station blackout scenario can be characterized into two typical phases: A first phase characterized by decay heat removal through secondary safety valves until the SG dryouts, and a second phase characterized by an energy release through a blowdown of the primary system after the SG dryouts. During the second phase, some physical phenomena of the change over a pressurizer function, i.e., the pressurizer being full before the POSRV $1^{st}$ opening and then its function being taken by the RV, and the termination of normal natural circulation flow were identified. Finally, a core heatup occurred at a low core water level, although under a significant amount of PZR inventory, whose drainage seemed to be hindered owing to the pressurizer function by the RV. The transient of SBO-01 is well reproduced in the calculation using the MARS code.
