Introduction: The most dramatic application of hypothermia in cardiac surgery is in deep hypothermic circulatory arrest(DHCA). Because man in natural circumstances is never exposed to this extreme hypothermic condition, one of the controversial aspects of clinical hypothermia is appropriate acid-base management($\alpha$-stat versus pH-stat). This study aims to compare $\alpha$-stat with pH-stat for: (1) brain cooling and re-warming speed during hypothermia induction and re-warming by cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB); (2) cerebral perfusion, metabolism, and their coupling; and (3) the extent of development of cerebral edema after circulatory arrest, in young pigs. Materials & Methods: Fourteen young pigs were assigned to one of two strategies of gas manipulation. Cerebral blood flow was measured with a cerebral venous outflow technique. After a median sternotomy, CPB was established. Core cooling was initiated and continued until nasopHaryngeal temperature fell below $20^{\circ}C$. The flow rate was set at 2,500 ml/min. Once their temperatures were below $20^{\circ}C$, the animals were subjected to DHCA for 40 mins. During cooling, acid-base balance was maintained according to either $\alpha$-STAT or pH-STAT strategies. After DHCA, the body was re-warmed to normal body temperature. The animals were then sacrificed, and their brains measured for edema. Cerebral perfusion and metabolism were measured before the onset of CPB, before cooling, before DHCA, 15 mins after re-warming, and upon completion of re-warming. Results & Conclusion: Cooling time was significantly shorter with $\alpha$-stat than with pH-stat strategy, while there were no significant differences in rewarming time between the two groups. Nosignificant differences were found in cerebral blood flow, metabolic rate, or flow/ metabolic rate ratio between two groups. Temperature-related differences were significant in cerebral blood flow, metabolic rate, and flow/metabolic rate ratio within each group. Brain water content showed no significant differences between two groups.

1) 제어봉의 전자 클러치는 직류전원 공급 장치에 의해 12V의 직류 전력을 공급받으며 전압 강하에 대한 내성이 좋다. 제어봉은 10V의 전압이 525msec 이상 지속될 때 전자력 상실로 낙하한다. 완전정전(0V)이 발생하여도 직류전원 공급 장치는 500msec 동안 전자클러치에 직류전력을 공급하여 제어봉의 연결 상태를 유지하도록 한다. 2) 정지봉 계통에 대한 전압강하의 영향은 제어회로를 구성하는 전자접촉기의 개방에 의하여 펌프의 전원공급이 차단되고, 그 결과 정지봉이 낙하한다. 정지봉은 펌프의 전원이 상실되면 수압 실린더의 압력 상실로 약 1000msec 후에 낙하한기 시작한다. 그림 2는 제어봉 및 정지봉에 대한 정전 영향을 시간에 따라 표시한 것이다. 3) 1차 및 2차 냉각계통의 부족전압 계전기에 의해 펌프가 정지할 때까지 저유량 신호 및 N/T mismatch 신호에 의한 원자로 정지신호는 발생되지 않는다. 따라서 정지봉 및 제어봉 계통에 적용하고자 하는 순간정전 보상장치는 부족전압 계전기 동작시간 이내의 보상시간에서만 가능할 것이다.

A continued operation of RCPs during a certain small break LOCA may increase unnecessary inventory loss from the RCS causing a severe core uncovery which might lead to a fuel failure. After TMI-2 accident, the CEOG developed RCP trip strategy called “Trip-Two/Leave-Two” (T2/L2) in response to NRC requests and incorporated it in the generic EPG for CE plants. The T2/L2 RCP trip strategy consists of tripping the first two RCPs on low RCS pressure and then tripping the remaining two RCPs if a LOCA has occurred. This analysis determines the RCP trip setpoint and demonstrates the safe operational aspects of RCP trip strategy during a small break LOCA for YGN 3&4. The trip setpoint of the first too RCPs for YGN 3&4 is calculated to be 1775 psia in pressurizer pressure based on the limiting small break LOCA with 0.15 ft$^2$ break size in the hot leg. The analysis results show that YGN 3&4 can maintain the core coolability even if the operator fails to trip the second too RCPs or trips at worst time. Also, the YGN 3&4 RCP trip strategy demonstrates that both the 10 CFR 50.46 requirements on PCT and the ANSI standards 58.8 requirements on operator action time can be satisfied with enough margin. Therefore, it is concluded that the T2/L2 RCP trip strategy with a trip setpoint of 1775 psia for YGN 3&4 can provide improved operator guidance for the RCP operation during accidents.

The molding for hollow products used widely in industry is rotational molding by heating and cooling. Uniform cooling is required to improve the quality of the product, and rapid cooling is required to improve the productivity. In this paper, the cooling condition is largely classified into the case of no forced cooling by the fan and forced cooling by the fan. In addition, when forced cooling by the fan is not performed, the condition for stopping the molding machine horizontally and the condition for stopping the molding machine vertically were classified. To confirm the forced cooling by the fan, the conditions were set such that only the molding machine rotates while the fan is not running and the upper and lower fans operate when only the lower fan is operated. The surface temperature of the rotary molding machine was analyzed by the STAR-CCM+ program for the case of air-cooling. The temperature distribution of the rotary molding machine was analyzed for five conditions and the temperature distribution for cooling was compared under each condition. Among the five cases, Case 4 was lowest at approximately 35 ℃ after 900sec.

Leak Before Break(LBB) design concept is applied to piping systems of newly-built Yonggwang 3, 4 nuclear generating stations as a design alternative to the provision of pipe whip restraints, in recognition of the questionable benefits of providing such restraints. The objective of this paper is to evaluate the material properties (tensile and fracture toughness) of SA312 TP316 stainless steel and their associated welds manufactured for shutdown cooling system of Yonggwang 3, 4 nuclear generating stations. Effect of various parameters such as specimen orientation, test temperature, welding on material properties were examined.

원전 배관계통에 LBB를 적용하면 배관파단으로 인한 동적영향(dynamic effect)을 고려하지 않아도 되므로 각종 구조물의 설계가 단순해지고, 배관파단에 대비해 설치하였던 각종 지지구조물들을 제거할 수 있으므로 설계비용 절감 등 경제적 이점을 얻을 수 있다. 본 논문의 목적은 차세대원전 안전주입 및 정지냉각계통 배관에 대해 설계초기단계에서 LBB적용 여부를 판단할 수 있는 배관평가선도를 개발하는 것이다. 이를 위해 먼저 배관재료의 응력-변형률곡선을 사용하여 감지가능한 균열길이를 산출하였으며, 3차원 유한요소해석과 배관재료의 파괴저항곡선을 이용한 균열안정성평가를 수행하여 배관평가선도를 개발하였다. 본 연구에서 개발한 배관평가선도를 배관설계초기단계에 사용하면 LBB적용여부로 인한 설계변경과정이 불필요하므로 전체공기를 단축할 수 있으며, 특정한 배관계통이 아닌 일반 배관계통에 적용할 수 있으므로 LBB해석회수를 상당히 줄일 수 있다.

PWR 정지시 일차계통 수화학 제어의 주요대상은 계통표면에 침적된 부식생성물의 주성분인 비화학양론적 니켈(코발트)페라이트로서, 산성-환원 단계에서 용존수소에 의해 Ni$^{\circ}$ (또는 Co$^{\circ}$)로 환원되고 산성-산화 단계에서 용존산소에 의해 Ni$^{2+}$ (또는 CO$^{2+}$)로 산화되어 이온교환기에 의해 제거된다 본 연구에서는, 니켈 및 코발트 산화물의 25~300 $^{\circ}C$ 환원 또는 산화반응 시 표준자유에너지의 변화 및 용존수소 또는 용존산소의 요구농도를 계산하여, 원자로 정지시 일차계통수 용존 기체의 제어조건을 고찰하였다. 산성-환원 단계의 냉각재 온도인 300~82$^{\circ}C$ 범위에서 용존수소가 충분할 경우 열역학적으로 $^{58}$ Co(또는 $^{60}$Co)Fe$_2$O$_4$$\longrightarrow$Co의 역반응이 억제되므로서 노심외 계통부위 침적이 감소될 수 있기 때문에, 용존수소를 온도에 따라 요구농도 곡선 위로 약간 높게 유지하는 것보다 25~50 cc/kg-$H_2O$로 유지하는 방식이 바람직한 반면, 용존산소를 제공하는 과산화수소 농도가) 2.7 ppm일 때 NiFe$_2$O$_4$$\longrightarrow$Ni$_2$O$_4$(+$\alpha$-Fe$_2$O$_3$) 반응이 일어날 수 있기 때문에, 산성-산화 단계에서는 과산화수소의 냉각재 농도를 이보다 낮게 유지하는 것이 바람직하다.
