Irradiation experience and technology development of a material capsule in HANARO

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

Description

A material capsule system was developed for an irradiation test of non fissile materials in HANARO. Several irradiation capsules (12 instrumented and 2 non-instrumented capsules) have been designed, fabricated and successfully irradiated in HANARO CT and IR test holes since 1995. The capsules were mainly designed for an irradiation of the RPV (Reactor Pressure Vessel), reactor core materials, and Zr-based alloys. Most capsules were made for KAERI material research projects, but 5capsules were made as a part of national projects for the promotion of the HANARO utilization. Based on the accumulated irradiation experience and the user's sophisticated requirements, development of new instrumented capsule technologies for a more precise control of the irradiation temperature and fluence of a specimen irrespective of the reactor operation has been performed in HANARO. These technologies will also be effectively applied to the researches of test variables with a capsule
