The Development of LVDT for the Pressure and Elongation Measurement of an Irradiation Test Fuel Rod

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

Description

Irradiation test using a capsule has been performed for fuel or material performance test in the test reactor. Instruments and instrument attachment technology have been developed for an irradiation test. The LVDT (Linear Variable Differential Transformer) is measuring the elongation and the pressure of nuclear fuel rod during the irradiation test. This device is a radiation resistant LVDT to use in a research reactor. The LVDTs for an irradiation test have been used Norway Halden's development LVDTs in the KAERI but the KAERI is developing a new LVDT since 2007 because of high cost. This paper describes about the design of LVDT and the fabrication of LVDT that is developed until present
