Recently a number of severe fuel degradation events, seemingly due to internal secondary hydriding, have been reported. This paper reviews internal hydriding of defected zircaloy cladding. First, the history of zircaloy cladding development and the environment of the zircaloys in service in the nuclear reactor are introduced. Fundamental aspects of zircaloy hydriding, such as hydrogen permeability in zirconium oxide, terminal solubility and precipitation in zirconium and its alloys, and the deleterious effect of hydrides are reviewed. The mechanism of massive internal hydriding in defected zircaloy fuel rods is qualitatively described based on the observed phenomena. Significant factors affecting the hydriding process are discussed. A quantitative model for the massive hydriding as a part of an effort to mitigate fuel degradation is briefly mentioned and necessary information and recommended future work for improvement of the model are outlined.

지중매설관은 경우에 따라 긴 수송거리를 보이기 때문에 부식 및 충격에 의한 파손 등에 대한 모니터링이 어려운 실정이다. 이러한 조건을 극복하기 위하여 복합관 및 다중관을 설치하고 있으나, 이에 대한 연구는 아직 미비한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 발파진동원에서 고정된 이격거리, 매설심도에서 배관 상단에 특정 진동속도를 발생시키는 발파 하중을 고려하여, 이격거리에 대한 수치해석을 수행하였으며 장약량에 따른 이격거리와 발파효율을 측정하였다. 실험값과 수치해석 값의 오차는 발파지점에서 가까울수록 크게 나타났으며 발파지점과 마주보는 방향이 반대방향보다 크게 나타났다.

Recently, it has been reported that buried pipes' crack is concentrated on curved parts. In this study, 3D-Finite element analysis is performed for Analytical Evaluation on the Structural Safety of Horizontally Curved Parts of Buried Pipe. The constructed pipe cracked in curved parts of pipe is analyzed and all kinds of loads affected to buried pipes are considered. Displacement, stresses and buckling analysis are performed. The stress analysis shows that stress in curved parts is larger than stresses in straight parts and exceeds allowable stress in some parts. So, stress analysis on curved parts is needed for safety for buried pipe.

In Korea, the pipe type that has been well used as sewage pipe from the past is primarily a rigid pipe which is represented by concrete hume pipe, but the use of it is being decreased sharply because of the problems such as tube erosion and incomplete watertightness securing through the time. On the other hand, the use of flexible pipe has been increased because its construction ability is excellent on account of its light weight as well as it is resistant to corrosion. However, because there are lacks of market's confidence in flexible pipe and occurrence cases of partial damage incomplete caused by compaction control, cause analysis and management for them are needed. Therefore, this study tried to estimate the deformation characteristics of pipe caused by each condition through numerical analysis changing construction sequence, rigidity of pipe, strength of ground concrete under the pipe, relative compaction ratio of sand foundation under the pipe and relative compaction ratio of backfill material above the pipe. Evaluation result is that influence on each factor is confirmed and the quality control of sand around the pipe are turned up to be important.

The demands for robotic and automatic system are continually increasing in manufacturing fields. There have been many studies to monitor and predict the system, but they have mainly focused upon measuring cutting force, and current of motor spindle, and upon using acoustic sensor, etc. In this study, time series sequence of cutting force was acquired by taking advantage of piezoelectric type tool dynamometer. Radial cutting force was obtained from it and was available for useful observation data. The parameter was estimated using PAA(parameter adaptation algorithm) from observation data. ARMA(auto regressive moving average) model was selected for system model and second order was decided according to parameter estimation. Uncorrelation test was also carried out to verify convergence of parameter.

Pressure tubes are major component of nuclear reactor, but only selected samples are periodically examined due to numerous numbers of tubes. Current in-service inspection result show there is high probability of flaw existence at uninspected pressure tube. Probabilistic analysis is applied in this study for the integrity assessment of uninspected pressure tube. All the current integrity evaluations procedures are based on conventional deterministic approaches. So it is expected that the results obtained are too conservative to perform a rational evaluation of lifetime. More realistic failure criteria, based on FAD are also proposed for the probabilistic analysis. As a result of this study failure probabilities for various conditions are calculated, and examined application of FAD and LBB concept.

Current in-service inspection result show there is high probability of flaw existence at un-inspected pressure tube. Probabilistic analysis is applied in this study for the integrity assessment of un-inspected pressure tube. But all the current integrity evaluations procedures are based on conventional deterministic approaches. So many integrity evaluation parameters are not directly apply to probabilistic analysis. As a result of this study failure assessment diagram are proposed based on test data.

In this paper probabilistic fracture mechanics(PFM) approach is employed to evaluate the integrity of CANDU Zr-2.5Nb pressure tubes. Modified failure assessment diagram(Jr-FAD), plastic collapse, and critical crack length(CCL) approach are used for evaluating failure probability of the tubes. Jr-FAD was extended from the Kr-FAD because fracture of pressure tubes occurs in brittle manner due to hydrogen embrittlement of material by deuterium fluence. For developing the probabilistic integrity evaluation module, AECL procedures and fracture toughness parameters of EPRI were used.
