4.2.6.4 Fuel Test Loop<br />

As an irradiation test facility for nuclear fuel's performance <strong>in</strong> HANARO, 3‐P<strong>in</strong> Fuel Test<br />

Loop(FTL) is be<strong>in</strong>g developed that can irradiate the p<strong>in</strong> to the maximum number of 3 at<br />

the core irradiation hole(IR hole) by consider<strong>in</strong>g for it's utility and user's irradiation<br />

requirement. Nuclear fuel irradiation test <strong>in</strong> FTL at IR hole can get higher fast neutron<br />

flux and l<strong>in</strong>ear heat rate than commercial nuclear power reactor can do, so that will be<br />

able to satisfy the user's test requisite and be able to possible to test <strong>in</strong> severe condition. 3‐<br />

P<strong>in</strong> FTL consists of In‐Pile Test Section (IPS) and Out‐Pile System (OPS). IPS that is<br />

connected to the OPS are controlled and regulated by means of system pressure, system<br />

temperature and the water quality. IPS is designed duel sta<strong>in</strong>less steel pressure vessel for<br />

safety and OPS is composed of ma<strong>in</strong> cool<strong>in</strong>g water system, emergency cool<strong>in</strong>g water<br />

system, <strong>in</strong>strument cool<strong>in</strong>g water system, etc. 3‐P<strong>in</strong> FTL which conta<strong>in</strong>s system condition<br />

like 120kW heat remov<strong>in</strong>g capability, design pressure 17.5MPa, design temperature 35<br />

0℃ and hydro‐chemical condition is normal steady state nuclear fuel irradiation test loop<br />

facilities. Conceptual design of the 3‐P<strong>in</strong> FTL was set up <strong>in</strong> 2001 and basic design<br />

compos<strong>in</strong>g a design requirement and basic pip<strong>in</strong>g & <strong>in</strong>strument diagram (P&ID) had<br />

completed <strong>in</strong> 2002. As of 2003, safety analysis report to get a license from KINS is be<strong>in</strong>g<br />

prepared and Mock‐up test for verify<strong>in</strong>g the IPS design is be<strong>in</strong>g promoted. After 3‐P<strong>in</strong><br />

FTL development which is expected to be f<strong>in</strong>ished by the 2006, 3‐P<strong>in</strong> FTL will be used<br />

for the irradiation test of the new PWR‐type fuel and can maximize the usage of<br />

HANARO and promote the national prestige <strong>in</strong>ternationally <strong>in</strong> the nuclear field.<br />
