| 20110298307 | COOLING UNIT FOR NUCLEAR REACTOR CONTROL ROD DRIVING APPARATUS - A cooling unit cooling a coil assembly that generates electromagnetic force for driving a nuclear reactor control rod, and including a coil surrounding a driving shaft of the nuclear reactor control rod so as to generate the electromagnetic force; a coil housing surrounding the coil so as to enclose the coil; a cooling shroud-shell forming a cooling flow path between the cooling shroud-shell and the coil housing, whereby a cooling fluid for cooling heat that is generated in the coil passes through the cooling flow path; and a plurality of cooling fins disposed on the cooling flow path in a radial direction so as to allow heat to be effectively exchanged between the coil and the cooling fluid that flows through the cooling flow path. | 12-08-2011 |
| 20110202163 | PLANT PROTECTION SYSTEM AND METHOD USING FIELD PROGRAMMABLE GATE ARRAY - Provided is a plant protection system, which determines initiation of protective actions for the plant, and more particularly to the plant protection system including four channels which controls systems that shut down the plant or mitigate consequences of abnormal conditions of the plant by detecting non-permissible plant conditions with the result of bistable logic comparing process parameters with their setpoints assigned to each channel. Accordingly, common mode failure and cyber security vulnerability caused by software are removed since the system is composed of FPGA and other types of hardware without central processing units and software in determining the initiation of plant protective actions. | 08-18-2011 |
| 20110174085 | LOAD MEASUREMENT APPARATUS ACTING ON PIPE SUPPORT - An apparatus for measuring load acting on pipe supports, the apparatus including a load cell which includes a contact portion contacting a pipe, and a measuring portion for measuring load acting from the pipe; and a gap sensor which measures a gap between the pipe support and the pipe, which is generated by a movement of the contact portion, wherein the load acting on the pipe support is measured based on the load measured by the load cell and the gap measured by the gap sensor. | 07-21-2011 |
