원전의 중대사고 발생시 형성될수 있는 노심용융물의 고화피막층을 동반하는 용융물의 자연대류 열절달 특성에 대한 실험결과를 정밀 분석하고, 이에 대한 해석적 연구를 수행하였다. 본 연구대상 실험은 종횡비가 작은 경우와 큰 경우에 대하여 용융물을 자연대류와 강제대류로서 냉각하는 조건에서 경계조건에 따른 용융물의 피막층 두께를 측정하였고, 피막층 주변의 열전달량을 측정ㆍ분석한 것이다. 실험결과를 정밀 분석한 결과, 용융물의 고화 피막층 형성이 용융물의 자연대류 열전달양에 많은 영향을 미쳤으며, 종횡비가 큰 경우는 냉각 조건도 자연대류 열전달 양에 다소 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 고화층 두께 증가에 따른 종횡비 감소는 자연대류 열전달양 감소율을 작게하는 것으로 나타났다. 피막층 형성이 있는 용융물의 자연대류 열전달 해석 결과, 실험에서의 열손실 때문에 용융물의 고화 피막층 두께가 실험결과보다 다소 작게 나타났으며, 자연대류 열전달 흐름이 피막층 형성에 미치는 것으로 나타났다.

중대사고시 원자로 압력용기내 또는 원자로 공동(cavity) 내에서의 노심용융물은 주입되는 물로 인하여 물과 접촉하는 표면이 냉각되면서 피막층(crust)이 형성된다. 이러한 피막층의 형성은 노심용융물과 냉각수 사이의 열전달 현상에 영향을 미치며 중대사고 발생시 사고 진행에 중요한 역할을 한다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 용융물의 피막층 형성의 해석모델을 수립하기 위해 전이현상과 전도와 대류를 포함하는 2차원 열전달과 상변화를 수반하는 문제를 포함하는 운동량방정식과 에너지방정식을 2차원으로 구성하였으며 에너지방정식은 엔탈피의 함수로 나타내었다. 그리고 이러한 2차원 지배방정식을 해석하기 위해 유한차분법 및 SIMPIER 알고리즘을 이용하였다. 비교대상으로는 한국원자력연구소에서 수행한 냉각수의 비등과 기체주입 효과가 고려되지 않은 실험을 대상으로 하였다. 계산결과 용융물의 피막층은 파동(wave) 형태로 형성되었으며 일정시간이 경과하면 변화가 없는 안정한 상태가 되었다. 용융물 내에서의 온도분포는 액체상태일 경우에는 하부가열면과 상변화가 일어나는 경계면부근을 제외하고는 거의 일정한 온도분포를 나타내고 있으며 용융물이 고화된 피막층에서는 급격한 온도변화를 보여주고 있다.

An experimental study has been performed on natural convection heat transfer with a rapid crust formation in the molten metal pool of a low Prandtl number fluid. Two types of steady state tests, a low and high geometric aspect ratio cases in the molten metal pool, were performed. The crust thickness by solidification was measured 88 a function of boundary surface temperatures. The experimental results on the relationship between the Nusselt number and Rayleigh number In the molten metal pool with a crust formation were compared with existing correlations. The experimental study has shown that the bottom surface temperature of the molten metal layer, in all experiments. is the major influential parameter in the crust formation, duo to the natural convection flow. The Nusselt number of the case without a crust formation in the molten metal pool is greater than that of the case with the crust formation at the same Rayleigh number. The present experimental results on the relationship between the Nusselt number and Rayleigh number In the molten metal pool match well with Globe and Dropkin's correlation. From the experimental results, a now correlation between the Nusslet number and Rayleigh number in the molten metal pool with the crust formation was developed as $Nu=0.0923(Ra)^{0.302}$ ($2{\times}10^4< Ra<2{\times}10^7$).

Recently, domestic waste landfills are constructed sometimes on seashore area to provide large landfill area. In order to strengthen the foundation of landfills and to prevent the infiltration of leachate through the bottom, many cases of constructing cement hardened liners on seashore clays are found. In these cases, it is possible to have cracks in the hardened liners due to settlement with waste load since the stiffness of the hardened liner Is greater than that of clay liners. In this study, the capability of Self-Sealing and Self-Healing (SSSH) liner made with a seashore clay in the metropolitan landfill to prevent the percolation of water and leachate is examined using flexible-wall permeameter test and using uniaxial compression test. Applicability of SSSH to weathered granitic soil is also examined for self-sealing capabilities. The result of Flexible permeameter test for SSSH with the seashore clay showed that permeability obtained was lower than permeability criteria of Korean waste management law. The permeability and strength characteristics of SSSH with granitic soil and bentonite showed better results than with the seashore clay.

Shale is considered as a source rock for conventional oil and gas exploration and development because shale is fine-grained detrital sedimentary rock which can preserve the organic matter better. Shale has a good sealing capacity for the petroleum trap due to its low permeability. Commercial recoveries of gas from shale in the North America based on the development of technologies of horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing reveal that shale also function as a effective reservoir rock. Geochemical techniques to evaluate generation potential of the hydrocarbons from organic matter in the source rocks can be applied for the exploration of the shale gas resources. To evaluate shale gas resources, it is important to understand various geochemical processes and shale characteristics controlling generation, storage and estimation of shale gas reserves. In this paper, the generation mechanism of the oil and gas from organic matter is reviewed, and geochemical techniques which can be applied for the evaluation and characterization of shale gas are introduced.

Mineralogical analysis of the bedrock of the Gobi Desert in southern Mongolia, the source of Asian dust, was conducted to trace the geological origin of the constituent minerals of Asian dust. The bedrock of the source of Asian dust consists of Paleozoic volcanics and volcaniclastic sedimentary rocks, Paleozoic granitic rocks, and Mesozoic sedimentary rocks. Paleozoic volcanics and volcaniclastic sediments lithified compactly, underwent greenschist metamorphism, and deformed to form mountain ranges. Mesozoic sedimentary rocks fill the basin between the mountain ranges of Paleozoic strata. In comparison to Paleozoic volcanic and sedimentary rocks, Mesozoic sedimentary rocks have lower contents of chlorite and plagioclase, but high contents of clay minerals including interstratified illite-smectite, smectite, and kaolinite. Paleozoic granites characteristically contain amphibole and biotite. Compared with the mineral composition of bedrock in source, Asian dust is a mixture of detrital particles originating from Paleozoic and Mesozoic bedrocks. However, the mineral composition of Mesozoic sedimentary rocks is closer to that of Asian dust. Less lithified Mesozoic sedimentary rocks easily disintegrated to form silty soils which are deflated to form Asian dust.

The 2017 Pohang Earthquakes occurred near a drill site in the Pohang Enhanced Geothermal System. Water injected for well stimulation was believed to have reactivated the buried near-critically stressed Miocene faults by the accumulation of the Quaternary tectonic strain. However, surface expressions of the Quaternary tectonic activity had not been reported near the epicenter of the earthquakes before the site construction. Unusual, large-scale water-escaped structures were identified 4 km away from the epicenter during a post-seismic investigation. The water-escaped structures comprise Miocene mudstones injected into overlying Pleistocene coastal sediments that formed during Marine Isotope Stage 5. This indicates the vulnerable state of the mudstones long after deposition, resulted from the combined effects of rapid tectonic uplift (before significant diagenesis) and the development of an aquifer at their unconformable interface of the mudstone. Based on the detailed field analysis and consideration of all possible endogenic triggers, we interpreted the structures to have been formed by elevated pore pressures in the mudstones (thixotropy), triggered by cyclic ground motion during the earthquakes. This interpretation is strengthened by the presence of faults 400 m from the study area, which cut unconsolidated coastal sediment deposited after Marine Isotope Stage 5. Geological context, including high rates of tectonic uplift in SE Korea, paleo-seismological research on Quaternary faults near the study area, and historical records of paleoearthquakes in SE Korea, also support the interpretation. Thus, epicenter and surrounding areas of the 2017 Pohang Earthquake are considered as a paleoseismologically active area, and the causative fault of the 2017 Pohang Earthquakes was expected to be nearly critical state.

The late Quaternary stratigraphy of the tidal deposits in the Hampyung Bay, southwestern coast of Korea comprises 1) Unit III (nonmarine fluvial coarse-grained sediments), 2) Unit II (late Pleistocene tidal deposits), and 3) Unit I (late Holocene fine-grained tidal deposits) in ascending order. The basements of the Hampyung Bay is composed of granitic rocks and basic dyke rocks. These three units are of unconformally bounded sedimentary sequences. The sequence boundary between Unit I and Unit II, in particular, seems to be significant suggesting erosional surface and exposed to the air under the cold climate during the LGM. The uppermost stratigraphic sequence (Unit I) is a common tidal deposit formed under the transgression to highstand sea-level during the middle to late Holocene.
