KALIMER 고속로의 기본 핵연료인 U-l0Zr 핵연료봉의 노내 성능시험을 위해, 러시아의 BR-10 연구용 고속원자로에서 핵연료노내조사 Program이 1997년부터 수행되고 있다. 1 차년도에는 핵연료 시편의 설계 및 제조와 금속합금 핵연료의 균질도, 밀도, 열전도도 등의 노외 특성 시험이 수행되었다. U-l0Zr 핵연료심은 Arc 용해로 제조되었는데, 합금의 구성 원소들은 비교적 균일하게 분포되었다. 핵연료 시편은 2 개가 제작되었는데, BR-10 원자로에서 각각 연소도 1.08 % 및 2.15 %까지 연소된 후, 조사 후 검사가 수행될 것이다. 금속핵연료는 대개 낮은 연소도에서 급격한 변화틀 보이기 때문에, 본 핵연료 노내조사시험 Program의 결과는 금속핵연료봉의 성능해석 모델 개발에 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

The refining effect of tantalum by electron beam melting(EBM) process for recycling tantalum scraps was investigated in the study. The purity of the tantalum metals refined by EBM was evaluated using glow discharge mass spectrometry (GDMS). From the result of GDMS, most impurities in the tantalum metals were removed by EBM down to a few mass ppm levels. The purity of the refined tantalum scraps was improved up to 5N (99.9991%) from 4 N (99.996%) of the initial tantalum scraps. The amount of metallic impurities in the tantalum was decreased from 30 ppm to 8 ppm. In addition, the gaseous impurities in the tantalum were decreased from 470 ppm to 50 ppm. Therefore a possibility of refining method for recycling tantalum scraps by EBM process was confirmed in this study.

Mixed acidophilic bacteria were approached for leaching of cobalt and lithium from wastes of lithium ion battery industries. The growth substrates for the mixed mesophilic bacteria are elemental sulfur and ferrous ion. Bioleaching of the metal was due to the protonic action of sulfate ion on the metals present in the waste. It was investigated that bioleaching of cobalt was faster than lithium. Bacterial action could leach out about 80 % of cobalt and 20 % of lithium from the solid wastes within 12 days of the experimental period. Higher solid/liquid ratio was found to be detrimental for bacterial growth due to the toxic nature of the metals. At high elemental sulfur concentration, the sulfur powder was observed to be in undissolved form and hence the leaching rate also decreased with increase of sulfur amount.

Fibrinolytic enzyme has been isolated and purified from the edible mushroom, Lepista nuda. The apparent molecular mass of purified enzyme was estimated to be 34 KDa by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The N-terminal amino acid sequence of the enzyme was Tyr-Pro-Ser-Pro-Ser-His-Gln-Thr-Ala-Val-Asn-Ala-Ile-Ile-X. It has a pH optimum at $7.0.{\sim}9.5$, suggesting that the purified enzyme is an alkaline protease. It shows the maximum fibrinolytic activity at $55^{\circ}C$. The fibrinolytic activity was inhibited by phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride, indicating that the purified enzyme is a serine protease. The activity of the purified enzyme was totally inhibited by $Hg^{2+}$.

Retention ponds have been dug along some of the motorways in France to minimize environmental pollution by preventing pollutants from spreading over the surrounding area. A series of studies have been conducted to determine the physicochemical characteristics of the particles settling down in such a pond to evaluate the effectiveness of the pond as a trap for heavy metals such as Pb, Zn and Cd. The highly contaminated roadside soil and the uncontaminated background soil were also studied for comparison. The settling particles exhibited heavy metal concentrations of 2 to 8 times as much as the background Sologne soil, depending on the metal species. However, the heavy metal concentrations in the roadside soil were 7 to 26 times higher than those in the· settling particles. Sequential extraction experiments illustrated that the highly contaminated roadside soil consisted mainly of the readily soluble fractions (FII, FIII and FIV) for all three heavy metals, but little W which is hardly soluble. The proportion of W considerably increased up to one third of the total in the settling particles for Pb and Zn. This result as well as the large concentration differences between the roadside soil and the settling particles indicates that most of the heavy metals were lost to the surroundings even before reaching the retention pond. Cd exhibited somewhat different behavior in that the most soluble FI, which is negligible for Pb and Zn, occupied as much as one fourth of the total in the roadside soil. In addition, FV for Cd did not increase in the settling particles.

현재의 NEDO (New Energy and industrial technology Development Organization) style Si 정련은 두 단계로 구분되어 있다. 고출력 집속 전자빔을 이용한 금속 실리콘의 1차 용융과 대기압 근처의 플라즈마 아크 용해를 이용해서 B, P를 약간의 반응성 가스를 첨가 하여 제거하는 방법이다. 그러나 저가형 실리콘을 생산하려는 취지와 달리 두 가지의 고가 장비가 필요하다. E-beam melting 장치에서도 반응성이 높은 라디칼을 생성할 수 있다면 하나의 장비에서 두 가지의 정련 작업을 진행시킬 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 고진공에서(< 10-4 Torr) 동작하는 E-beam의 성능에 전혀 영향을 주지 않으면서 플라즈마를 용이하게 생성 시킬 수 있는 방법을 개발하고 이를 적용하여 실제 금속 순도 실리콘 내에 존재하는 B, P가 제거되는지 확인하는 것을 연구 내용으로 한다. 본 연구는 MG (Metal Grade) - Si 을 플라즈마 보조 전자빔 정련을 이용하여 정련한 Si 의 불순물 함량의 개선 효과를 조사하는 것이다. MG-Si 의 정련 방법 중에서 고출력 집속 전자빔을 이용하여 휘발성 오염물질을 제거 후, 플라즈마 아크 용해를 이용해서 B 를 제거하는 방법을 접목시켰다. MG-Si 에 DC power 와 전자빔을 집속시켜서 정련을 하면 챔버 내의 잔류 수증기가 플라즈마에 의해 분해되어 O를 생성하고, B와 반응을 하여 BO 형태로 제거가 된다. 방전 전압 700 V 와 전자빔 가속 전압이 4.5 kV, 방출 전류는 11 A, 진공 챔버 내의 압력은 $7.2{\times}10^{-4}$ Torr에서 정련을 진행하여 B를 제거했다.

In order to exclude the effect of uneven distribution of gold in anode slime, the dissolution of gold and silver from the metal mixture was investigated in different systems, such as the mixture of hydrochloric acid and oxidizing reagents ($H_2O_2$, NaClO and $HNO_3$), thiosulfate and thiourea. In the mixture of HCl and either $HNO_3$ or $H_2O_2$, Au was completely dissolved but the leaching percentage of Ag was around 1%. In both thiosulfate and thiourea solution, gold was not dissolved at all. The presence of ferric ion in acidic thiourea solution showed a favorable effect on the leaching of silver but further study is necessary to elucidate the combined effect of ferric ion and sulfuric acid.

A numerical simulation program based on the finite elerrent method is developed for calculating electromagnetic field of the cylindrical electromagnetic pump. The calculated results by the developed program show that Lorentz forces show maximum peak at an optimum length ($L_c$) of the induction coil. The value of $L_c$ depends on the radius of the molten metal when the skin depth is large. On the other hand, the value of $L_c$ depends on the skin depth when it is small.
