Patent number: 8670516Abstract: The present invention relates to an irradiation device for material test using a gamma ray radiated from a spent nuclear fuel assembly and provides the irradiation device for material test using a gamma ray radiated from a spent nuclear fuel assembly wherein an irradiation device for material test to achieve a radiation effect evaluation is manufactured to be movable upward, downward and horizontally in order to study the hardening phenomenon of the frail materials to the radiation among the atomic power facilities using a gamma ray radiated from a spent nuclear fuel assembly, thereby it is possible to adjust a position of the spent nuclear fuel used for material test using a gamma ray radiated from a spent nuclear fuel and a test material, identify a distance between the spent nuclear fuel and the test material easily with a scale and evaluate the radiation effects on the materials used at facilities handling a spent nuclear fuel under the same situation as they are really exposed.Type: GrantFiled: May 25, 2007Date of Patent: March 11, 2014Assignees: Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power Co., Ltd., Korea Atomic Energy Research InstituteInventors: Il Je Cho, Eun Pyo Lee, Dong Hak Kook, Kie Chan Kwon, Won Kyung Lee, Jeong Hoe Ku, Won Myung Choung, Gil Sung You, Ji Sup Yoon

Patent number: 8251628Abstract: A joint tong apparatus for a radiation shielding facility. A spherical ball has a through-hole. An inner spherical socket and an outer spherical socket are installed in a hole formed in a partition between a radiation-shielded room and a control room so as to enclose the spherical ball on inner and outer sides. A bar is inserted and coupled into and to the through-hole of the spherical ball. An inner joint assembly has a first housing coupled to a shielded room-side end of the bar and a first pivot member pivotably mounted on a free end of the first housing. An outer joint assembly having a second housing coupled to a control room-side end of the bar and a second pivot member pivotably mounted on a free end of the second housing. The apparatus further includes a tong assembly, a handle assembly, a tong manipulation cable, and a pair of pivot manipulation cables.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2008Date of Patent: August 28, 2012Assignees: Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute, Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power Co., Ltd.Inventors: Eun Pyo Lee, Won Myung Choung, Dong Hee Hong, Jeong Hoe Ku, Won Kyung Lee, Il Je Cho, Dong Hak Kook, Kie Chan Kwon, Gil Sung You, Ji Sup Yoon

Patent number: 7995700Abstract: A rear door system for transferring hot cell equipment into or out of a hot cell is disclosed. The rear door system of the present invention includes a rear door, which is provided to a rear wall of the hot cell so as to be movable to open or close the rear wall of the hot cell, and a vertical moving table, which is provided at a predetermined position on the lower portion of the front surface of the rear door so as to be movable upwards or downwards. The rear door system further includes a drive unit, which is provided at a predetermined position in the lower end of the rear door to move the rear door, and a stationary working table, which is disposed above the vertical moving table and is fixed in the hot cell in a horizontal orientation. The rear door system further includes a removable table, which is removably coupled at a predetermined position to the stationary working table, and a hot cell crane hook and a service area crane hook, which are respectively provided inside and outside the hot cell.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2007Date of Patent: August 9, 2011Assignees: Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute, Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power Co., Ltd.Inventors: Eun Pyo Lee, Gil Sung You, Ji Sup Yoon, Won Myung Choung, Jeong Hoe Ku, Il Je Cho, Dong Hak Kook, Kie Chan Kwon, Won Kyung Lee
