A summary of Technology
  • In Service Inspection (ISI)
  • KPS already completed reviews of Technology and OJT training qualification regarding above technology, with this technology, purchased orders of ISI and has performed Uljin plant #1, 2, Younggwang plant #3, 4, Wolsung plant #1, 2. In a short-term prospect, it was designed for us to perform such inspection under a support from cooperate companies and in a long-term prospect, it was designed for us to perform such inspection independently.
  • Eddy Current Testing (ECT)
  • KPS is scheduled to expand service areas by projecting domestic and overseas projects and participating into an nuclear power service project in the U. S. as well as by obtaining QDA ⅡA certificates through reviewing acquired documents and overseas training ('97: 12 persons, '99: 5 persons).
  • Reactor Control Rod cluster Assembly Inspection(RCCA inspection)
  • KPS applied experiences obtained from RCCA inspection materials reviews and analysis as well as overseas educational training to Uljin plant #1, 2 bringing up savings of foreign currency and expansion of business areas that were performed in the form of overseas service engineering.
  • Ultrasonic Eddy Current Testing (UTEC)
  • KPS has obtained signal collection and assessment technology, equipment operation technology through acquired documents and overseas field tranning, in addition it is scheduled to apply such technology to sleeving part Ultrasonic inspection using a reactor head penetration inspection.
  • Sludge Lancing
  • KPS aimed at advancement of process by localizing T-5 machine more advanced than existing equipment, however this project was been delay due to system difference. KPS enabled sludge lancing work a lot easier and more trustworthy at the time of preventive maintenance CICEL 4 (Foster Miller), currently it has been reviewing such equipment development as enables sludge lancing to the upper tube support plate.
  • ROSA II
  • KPS have completed a primary high-tech robot technology and a local assembly itself for a purpose of ensuring a technical development capacity this second semester of '98, in addition it have applied sleeving, plugging, Hard Rolling and Tube Pulling into a steam generator pipe using this equipment since '98. KPS holds a capacity of assembling ROSA III body and maintenance capacity as well as performed overseas training for accumulation of facilities and equipment operation capacity. KPS have lead to a successful performance of Uljin plant #1 sleeving and plugging, Tube Pulling, Younggwang plant # 1, 2 Tube Hard Rolling, Kori plant #4 Tube Plugging, Tube Hard Rolling. KPS is planning to cover business areas into CE type of a steam generator and In-Situ Test.
  • Simplified Head Assembly
  • KPS has contracted the new STCA, Simplified Head Assembly Technology with Westinghouse in 2001. KPS will proceed to business of SHA after overseas training in 2002. The SHA allows for the permanent removal of the CRDM duct work and separate reactor missile shied, thereby eliminating the significant time and dose associated with the handling of these items during the refueling outage. With the SHA, the reactor head lift tripod remains permanently assembled to the reactor head. A simplified of the CRDM and RPI cable arrangement is also provided, whereby the cable disconnects are done at a common connector plate located away from the higher dose rate at the top of the CRDM housings.

Contractor : Siemens Westinghouse International Technology Corporation
Term of Agreement
  • The Electro-hydraulic system analyzer (EHSA) :'95. 11. 1 ∼ 2001. 10. 31 (6 years)
  • Mushroom stud installation (MSI) :'95. 11. 1 ∼ 2001. 10. 31 (6 years)
  • Fast Gen. limited access generator inspection (FGI) : '95. 11. 1 ∼ 2001. 10. 31 (6 years)

  • Fast fourier analysis (FFA) : '98. 11. 1 ∼ 2001. 10. 31 (6 years)
A Technology agreements
  • Fast Gen. Limited Acess Generator inspection
  • KPS cultivated a field adaptation capacity using basic materials analysis and overseas education and independently performed a total 9 times of soundness inspection (Nuclear power: Wolsung Power Plant No. 1, etc 4 times, hydro and thermal power: Seoinchon Power Plant No. 4, etc 5 times) under a condition of revolving body under a detached state with a manual core soundness test equipment (Manual EL-CID), moreover expanded business areas with an introduction of a Wedge Tightness System (Purchase completed in February 1998) and Auto EL-CID in 1999.
  • Mushroom stud installation (MSI)
  • KPS purchased equipment after completion of materials analysis and field OJT (Dec., 1998), it performed removal construction of TBN Stuck Bolt of Samcheonpo Power Plant No. 2 ('99. 5. 20 ∼ 6. 30), finally it executed a high temperature bolt removal of a Pyungtaek power plant in September 1999.
  • Electro-Hydraulic System Analyser
  • KPS obtained materials relevant to electro-hydraulic system analyser, and it is scheduled to project such business after completing a training applicable to analysis and field application in 2000.
  • CERT
  • The coolant leakage would increase according to duration of a generator, and such technology processed with plugging is predicted to use CERT in consideration of efficiency of a generator, in this way estimated USD100 thousand would be saved compared with current foreign service engineering expense per year with international project making, however KPS already obtained CERT technology materials and completed analysis and field application training. Also KPS will purchase CERT equipment and perform field service in 2000.
  • Fast Fourier Analysis
  • This analysis has been used in an expansive way as a continuously developing new technology, in this light KPS already made a plan to project it as business after completing a analysis and field application training through obtaining FFA technology.
