Description

Non-instrumented capsule was designed to irradiate the large grain UO2 pellet developed for the high burn-up LWR fuel in the HANARO reactor. The non-instrumented capsule will be irradiated for about 30 months in HANARO Outside-core (OR) region. In the non-instrumented capsule, there are four different springs such as top guide spring, bottom spring, plenum spring and fuel rod hol-down spring. To ensure the mechanical integrity of non-instrumented capsule during the long term operation, those springs were designed after the spring characteristic tests
