Localization and manufacturing technology of materials for PWR plants

Abstract

The primary coolant system of PWR type reactor consists of reactor vessel, steam generator, pressurizer, primary coolant piping, and primary coolant pump. In the case of forged metal all of required materials used in above mentioned system are being produced in Korea Heavy Industries and Construction Co.. Small quantities of raw materials of austenite series stainless rolling mill products, primary tubes, and heat transfer pipings of steam generators were imported and manufactured domestically. But the primary coolant pumps are directly imported. Structural materials being installed inside reactor vessel and control element drive mechanisms are being designed and manufactured by Korea Heavy Industries and Construction Co. from Yonggwang 5 reactor. Indigenous production of rotor, bucket, nozzle, casing, bolt, and valve was totally accomplished. The motives of indigenous production of products were the results of continued investment on research activities and equipment and instruments. The materials used in primary coolant system were produced and manufactured only by the companies which holds a stringent quality control programs and has ASME MO Stamp. But the required quantity of materials from those companies is so small that most of them are imported. Other than that almost all of materials for nuclear power reactor are domestically  More>>
