초록

최근 국내에서 육상 및 해상을 통한 소외 정상운반 시 진동 및 충격하중에 대한 사용후핵연료의 건전성 평가 기술 개발이 수행되고 있다. 이와 관련된 국내 연구사례는 전무하여 기존에 진행된 또는 현재 수행중인 해외연구사례를 조사하여 국내 연구에 참고하고자 한다. 2000년 이전 과거 미국의 사용후핵연료의 정상운반 시 진동 및 충격하중 측정 관련 연구현황을 조사하였고 2009년부터 미국국립연구소 주관으로 실시한 단축가진시험, 콘크리트블럭 트럭운반시험, 다축가진시험에 대해서 조사하였으며 2017년 미국 SNL, 스페인의 ENSA, 한국이 공동으로 수행한 복합운반시험을 상세히 조사하였다. 시험 준비과정, 절차, 가속도 및 변형률 측정결과, 유한요소 및 다물체동역학 해석과정 등이 조사되었다. 각 시험 별로 측정된 변형률 자료를 바탕으로 사용후핵연료 피로곡선과 비교한 결과 손상을 일으키기에는 매우 미미한 정도의 변형률이 발생한다는 초기 결론을 얻었음을 확인하였다. 하지만 현재 결론은 일부 결과만을 검토한 예비 결론으로 상세한 검토가 현재 미국에서 진행 중이다. 미국에서 지금까지 수행한 사용후핵연료의 정상운반조건에서의 진동 및 충격하중 측정과 관련하여 조사된 내용은, 국내 운반환경에서 사용후핵연료의 정상운반시험을 수행할 때 참고할만한 유용한 자료라 판단된다.

Currently, the development of evaluation technology for vibration and shock load characteristics and spent nuclear fuel structural integrity under normal conditions of transport is being conducted in the Republic of Korea. This is the first such research conducted in the Republic of Korea and, thus, previous international studies need to be investigated and will be referred to in the ongoing project. Before 2000, several studies related to measurement of vibration and shock loads on spent nuclear fuel were conducted in the US. US national research institutes conducted uniaxial fuel assembly shaker tests, concrete block tests, and multi-axis fuel assembly tests between 2009 and 2016. In 2017, multi-modal transportation tests including road, sea, and rail transport were also performed by research institutes from the US, Spain and the Republic of Korea. Therefore, test preparation procedures, acceleration and strain measurement results, and finite-element and multi-body dynamics analysis were investigated. Based on the measured strain data, the preliminary conclusion was obtained that the measured strain was too small to cause damage to spent nuclear fuel rods. However, this conclusion is a preliminary conclusion that only reviews part of the results; a detailed review is being conducted in the US. The investigation of international studies on spent nuclear fuel structural integrity tests considering vibration and shock loads under normal conditions of transport in the US will be useful data for the project being conducted in the Republic of Korea.
