초록

To conduct a nuclear fuel irradiation test, the inside of the nuclear fuel rod must be assembledalong with the test fuel, several different parts, and sensors, and then filled with high-pressure andhigh-purityhelium gas. Therefore, it is necessary to develop helium gas filling techniques that can achieveexact TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) spot welding at a pin-hole of the nuclear fuel rod to fill helium gas intothe nuclear fuel test rod. However, previous apparatuses do not have repeatability for TIG spot weldingas they lack an electrode position control jig to exactly fix a TIG electrode in a high-pressure chamber,and they consume a large amount of helium gas. Therefore, a TIG spot welding apparatus wasdeveloped to easily and accurately conduct TIG spot welding and significantly reduce the gasconsumption. In addition, the optimum welding conditions of this welding apparatus were establishedthrough various weld tests.
