A study on KMRR utilization for fuel development

Abstract

The most effective utilization scheme of the KMRR was studied in the field of nuclear fuel development through reviewing literatural documents on irradiation facilities and in-pile test. It is suggested that the KMRR should be used for verification tests of advanced fuels and for power ramping / cycling tests of fuel rods. In addition, the characterization tests for fuel development and the basic material research should be also performed. In-pile loops for fuel verification and/or power ramping / cycling tests are proposed to be installed in advance, and capsules are necessary for power ramping / cycling tests, fuel characterization tests and / or material tests. Instrumentation technologies for thermocouple, SPND (Self-Powered Neutron Detector) and pressure transducer, and the in-situ dimensional measuring systems have to be developed to obtain the useful and various results from irradiation tests in the KMRR. A mock-up test rod for characterizing fuel thermal response was manufactured and the related technologies as well as the design specification were set up. An equipment for microdrilling and grooving of fuel pellets and an apparatus for diffusion-bonding between zircaloy-4 and stainless steel were made. A study to verify the integrity of test rod weldments is presented using out-of pile corrosion  More>>
