Structural Integrity Evaluation of Fuel Test Loop Submerged in Water Subjected to Postulated Pipe Rupture

摘要

The structural integrity of the fuel test loop (FTL), in a Korean experimental reactor is evaluated when the FTL, submerged in a water environment, is subjected to a postulated pipe rupture. The analyses are performed for static analysis and dynamic analysis, imposing the thrust force history at the postulated pipe rupture section. Through analysis the following results are found: 1) A double ended guillotine can not be expected based on the toughness of the material.
