Description

A new I and C system for an irradiation test using an instrumented fuel capsule in the HANARO reactor has been designed and manufactured to provide more qualified data to a fuel developer. In order to ensure that the system fulfills the functional and performance requirements, a series of tests were performed to investigate the thermal response of the capsule mockup connected to the gas mixing system of the new I and C system (GSF-2002) in the cold test loop. Main test parameters are the mass flow rates of 25, 50 and 100 cc/min of the He/Ne gas, a gas pressure of 1 to 3 kg/cm2, a heater power of 1 to 3.4kW and a few gas mixing ratios of He to Ne. From the out-pile tests, it was confirmed that the new type of I and C system (GSF-2002) would be feasible for a fuel irradiation using a fuel capsule in the HANARO research reactor
