R and D status on the spacer grid for the advanced LWR feul
- 1. KAERI, Taejon (Korea, Republic of)
Description
Based on the fuel assembly mechanical/thermal-hydraulic design experience and scrutinizing the design features on the foreign advanced nuclear fuel and the foreign patents of the spacer grid, 14 kinds of spacer grid candidates are conceptually derived since 1997. Among the 14 kinds of spacer grid candidates are conceptually derived since 1997. Among the candidates the mechanical/structural performance on the five candidates was evaluated by the screening test. As a result, of the screening test, two kinds of spacer grids are finally selected to be the leading candidates in order to investigate the mechanical/structural performance in detail. Through the detailed analysis and the mechanical/structural test for checking the performance of the selected leading candidates and by the tuning of the spacer grids of dimensions for maximizing the performance, final shapes of the two kinds of spacer grids are finally settled
