Abstract

사용후핵연료 운반용기 표면온도가 <TEX>$85^{\circ}C$</TEX>를 초과할 경우, 대인용 보호막(Personnel Barrier) 또는 운반용 덮개(Transport Hood)를 설치하여 운반 중 운반용기 표면에 사람이 직접 접근할 수 없도록 하여야 한다. 운반용 덮개가 설치된 경우, 열적 안전성 평가의 한 가지 경우인 정상조건 열해석 시, 외부환경 경계조건(환경온도 및 외부복사온도)으로 적용하기 위해서 운반용 덮개 내부 열 환경 조건(내부 공기온도 및 운반용 덮개 표면온도)을 계산해야 한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 운반용 덮개 내부 공기온도 및 표면온도를 계산하기 위한 해석적 방법 및 열전달 특성에 대한 분석을 수행하였고 CFD 해석 결과와 비교를 통해 타당성을 검증하였다. In case that the maximum temperature of any surface readily accessible during transport of a spent nuclear fuel (SNF) transport cask exceeds <TEX>$85^{\circ}C$</TEX> in the absence of insolation under the ambient temperature of <TEX>$38^{\circ}C$</TEX>, personnel barriers or transport hood shall be used to prevent people from casual contact with the transport cask surface. Usually the air temperature within the hood and the hood surface temperature are calculated and further utilized as boundary conditions(free stream temperature and external radiation temperature) for thermal evaluation under normal conditions of transport. In this study, these temperatures are derived using the analytical method based on the heat transfer mechanism around the transport cask under transport hood assuming the thermal equilibrium. By comparing the analytical solutions with the results from the detailed calculations with CFD-computer-code FLUENT 12.1 it is verified that the analytical method is still efficient tool to estimate the temperatures and these temperatures can be further used as boundary conditions for thermal evaluation under normal conditions of transport.
