“…Such thermostatic rigs are irradiation devices (capsule-like) with built-in temperature control systems that are dedicated to individual research goals. They are used in both existing and currently built research reactors [5][6][7][8], and, as research reactors differ from each other, the design is required to be in line with individual design features of the specifi c reactor. After irradiation, the material samples undergo various tests, including scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Raman spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction.…”

The Irradiation System for High-Temperature Reactors (ISHTAR) thermostatic rig will be used to irradiate advanced core material samples in conditions corresponding to those prevailing in the high-temperature reactors (HTRs): these conditions include a stable temperature extending up to 1000°C in the helium atmosphere. Computational and experimental studies concerning the design have been conducted, proving the possibility of these conditions’ fulfillment inside the rig while maintaining the safety limits for MARIA research reactor. The outcome is the thermostatic rig design that will be implemented in the MARIA reactor. Appropriate irradiation temperature will be achieved by a combination of electric heating with the control system, gamma heating, and a helium insulation gap with precisely designed thickness. The ISHTAR rig will be placed inside the vertical irradiation channel, which is located in the reactor pool. The device is being developed from scratch at the Nuclear Facilities Operation Department of the National Centre for Nuclear Research as a part of the GOSPOSTRATEG programme.

“…To support the national research and development programs on nuclear reactors and nuclear fuel cycle technology in Korea, rabbit and capsule irradiation facilities have been developed and actively utilized for the irradiation tests requested by numerous users [1]. Continuing efforts to improve the capabilities and instrumentation of the facilities have been in progress at KAERI [2] [3]. The irradiation facilities have been mostly utilized for the KAERI research projects related to the National Nuclear R & D Projects relevant to a commercial nuclear power reactor such as the ageing management and safety evaluation of the components.…”

HANARO, a 30 MW open-pool type multipurpose research reactor, has been operated as a platform for nuclear researches in Korea, and irradiation facilities have been mainly utilized for various nuclear material irradiation tests requested by users. Although most irradiation tests have been related to national R&D relevant to nuclear power, demand for neutron irradiation of electromagnetic materials is increasing rapidly at HANARO. Another research reactor, which is named the KIJANG research reactor (KJRR), is under construction in Korea. KJRR is dedicated to increasing the national radio-isotopes supply capacity and to the irradiation facilities including Neutron Transmutation Doping (NTD) facilities for power semiconductor production in a large scale and fast neutron irradiation (FNI) facility for fast neutron irradiation. The NTD and FNI facilities in the KJRR reactor can be effectively utilized on the study of separated effect of thermal and fast neutron irradiations on the properties of electromagnetic materials. HANARO will also specialize more on irradiation research, including neutron irradiation of electronic materials. The research status and possibility of new electromagnetic materials using neutron irradiation at HANARO are surveyed to ascertain the utilization of neutron irradiation technology in electromagnetic material researches.
