Abstract:
Although the seismic analysis of core assemblies is very difficult, it is important to the safety analysis of the reactor core. In order to support the numerical analysis of core assemblies and safety evaluation of China Experimental Fast Reactor (CEFR), the frequency of a single fuel assembly of CEFR was separately measured in air and water respectively by a dynamic system. During the measurement, three different range excitation forces were applied. Considering of installation tolerance, the measurement test was repeated on the fuel assembly installed again. The result of frequency measurement test was analyed and it is thought to be reasonable and credible.
