Korean MMTT project has been launched in order to clarify the vibration and shock loads under normal condition and transportation (NCT) in Korean geological and transportation conditions and to evaluate the integrity of SNF under such a transportation load. To evaluate the integrity of the SNF during normal land and sea transport tests, a representative SNF that represents the entirety of the different types of SNFs stored in the spent fuel pool of the power plant should be selected. And, it is necessary to make the test assembly to have a statically and dynamically similar behavior with the actual SNF. Therefore, in this project, we selected two types of fuel assembly that are expected to exhibit relatively conservative behavior under NCT, and these assemblies are being fabricated into surrogate test assemblies to have a similar characteristic as actual SNF based on the accumulated data from the poolside examination and the hot cell test so far. Tests were conducted for NCT conditions. In addition, a fatigue test was performed to integrity of the nuclear fuel rods under NCT conditions. Nuclear fuel assemblies are transported while being laid inside the cask under NCT, and are exposed to external shocks and vibrations. At this time, the fuel rod between the grid and grid is exposed to bending motion by this external force. For this simulation, a fixture was developed and used for static bending tests and bending fatigue tests. To simulate spent nuclear fuel rod specimens, hydrogen reorientation Zry-4 cladding was used and simulated pellets made of stainless steel were applied. And also, it was bonded using epoxy to give bonding conditions between the inside and the pellet. As a result of the test, cracks occurred due to the concentrated load between the pellets, resulting in damage to the fuel rod. The fatigue results showed a similar trend compared to the results performed by ORNL, and the lower bound fatigue curve presented by NUREG-2224 was also satisfactory.

최근 의료영상분야에서 형광체와 광도전체 물질을 이용한 디지털 평판형 X선 영상검출기가 폭넓게 이용되고 있다. 본 연구는 CsI:Na 형광체층과 광민감도가 우수한 비정질 셀레늄(a-Se)층의 이중 접합구조로 구성된 변환구조 설계를 위한 몬테카를로 시뮬레이션과 X선에 대한 광학적 및 전기적 반응특성을 조사하였다. 먼저 CsI:Na의 발광스펙트럼과 a-Se의 광흡수 스펙트럼을 측정하여 X선에 의한 신호 변환특성을 분석하였다. 또한, 인가전기장의 함수에 따른 X선 민감도을 측 정하여 상용화된 a-Se(500㎛)의 직접변환 검출기와 비교 평가하였다. 측정결과로부터, 10 V/μm에서 CsI:Na(180 ㎛)/a-Se(30㎛) 변환센서의 X선 민감도는 7.31 nC/mR-cm2 이고, a-Se(500㎛) 검출기는 3.95nC/mR-cm2로 약 2배 정 도 높은 값을 보였다.
