냉각수 유동을 고려한 핵연료 조사 리그의 조립 플러그 설계 Design of the Assembly Plug in a Nuclear Fuel Test Rig under the Circulation of Coolant
pp.56-62
In this paper, a structural integrity on the test rig with assembly plug to perform intermediate examination is evaluated. Structural analysis results between the test rig with non assembly plug and assembly plug are compared, because the assembly plug has an effect on the flow of the coolant in the test rig. A equivalent stress value on the test rig with assembly plug is increased more than the stress on the test rig with non-assembly plug. A shape optimization of the assembly plug is performed to decrease the stress. Considering a connection with the transport tool, a optimized shape of the assembly plug is presented to minimize the stress on the test rig. Using the optimized assembly plug, the equivalent stress on the test rig with the optimized plug is less than the stress on the test rig with the non-optimized plug.
