Abstract: A heat tube inspection cable and a method of analyzing an insertion force of the cable are disclosed. The heat tube inspection cable includes a sensor unit configured to detect a defect in a heat tube, a plurality of segment units each configured to comprise a body part and a wheel part rotatably connected to the body part, a signal cable configured to helically pass through the body part of each of the plurality of segment units to transmit electric signal from the sensor unit, and a wire configured to pass through the body part of each of the plurality of segment units to keep the linear configuration of the plurality of segment units like a bead necklace and to provide axial and bending strength.

Abstract: A passive safety injection system includes a containment, a reactor installed in the containment, safety injection tanks installed in the containment, a safety injection line between the reactor or a reactor coolant system and each of the safety injection tanks to guide water, which is stored in the safety injection tank, into the reactor when a water level in the reactor is reduced due to a loss of coolant accident, and a pressure balance line between the reactor or the reactor coolant system and the safety injection tank to guide high-temperature steam from the reactor into the safety injection tank upon the loss of coolant accident. The safety injection line has an orifice and a check valve thereon, and the pressure balance line has an orifice and isolation valves thereon. The water in the safety injection tank stably flows into the reactor for many hours.

Abstract: A method for fabricating a supermirror for forming a neutron guide. In the method, a neutron supermirror, which is widely used in the formation of thin films in cold neutron guides and the spectrometer field, is fabricated with nickel thin films and titanium thin films, having varying thickness, using a combination of monochromator structures in which nickel thin films and titanium thin films, having the same thickness, are stacked in the form of periodic structures. According to the method, a combination of monochromator structures having a variety of different thicknesses is formed, such that the amount of the overlap of peaks due to the monochromator structures can be adjusted to increase reflectivity, and some of the monochromator structures can be removed during the fabrication of the supermirror to make it easy to extract monochromatic beams, such that it is easy to fabricate a transmission monochromator, rather than a reflection monochromator.

Abstract: A polarized neutron guide for separating neutrons into polarized neutrons while minimizing loss of the neutrons is provided. The polarized neutron guide includes a body, the first space and the second space, and a neutron separation space. The body includes super mirrors coated with a neutron-reflective thin film and the first and second spaces are formed by the first plate inside the body. The neutron separation space is formed by the second plate disposed at the entry of the first space and the third plate disposed at the entry of the second space. Spin-up polarized neutrons and spin-down polarized neutrons are simultaneously separated and transferred in the first and second spaces, respectively. Therefore, with minimum loss of the neutrons, the spin-up polarized neutrons and the spin-down polarized neutrons are effectively separated and collected.
