Design Concept of a 1/5-Scale Core Simulator

  • 1. Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute, Daejeon (Korea, Republic of)

Description

A 1/5-scale core simulator for a Separate Effect Test (SET) of the SMART330 was designed. To simulate the pressure drop of a fuel assembly, three orifices are installed at the upper side of the core simulator. The axial flow rate of the fuel assembly is measured using a venturi flow meter at the lower part of the core simulator corresponding to an inlet of core flow path. A core bypass flow is ignored because it is a quite few amount when compared with the total core coolant water and it is not a required factor for core flow distribution test
