Korea has set up a radiation emergency planning zone based on the 「Act on Physical Protection and Radiological Emergency」 to protect residents living near nuclear power plants in the event of nuclear disasters. Little research has been conducted on the appropriateness of existing nuclear evacuation facilities because of a general lack of interest in nuclear accidents. This research addresses this gap by analyzing the location adequacy of evacuation facilities in Busan's emergency protection planning area based on vulnerable populations and accessibility analyses. The Gijang-gun which has the greatest risk, shows that only 4.05% of the total urban area was included in the evacuation service area within 5 minutes while only 36.93% of Geumjeong-gu and 37.23% of Haeundae-gu were included in the evacuation-enabled area. In addition, evaluation facilities in the elderly population hotspots were lacking, and there was a wide gap between dongs within the same Gu. Thus, additional evacuation facilities need to be designated and installed considering the spatial equity between areas and safety of both the public and vulnerable populations.

원전에서의 화재사고는 사람은 물론 주변 환경에도 막대한 영향과 피해를 가져오는 파괴적 재난이 될 수 있다. 오늘날 원자력 발전소를 위한 화재안전 프로그램들은 화재 발생 확률과 피해를 최소화하는 것을 우선 과제로 삼고 있는 실정이다. 따라서 어떠한 화재라도 안전작동 차단기능을 방해하지 않으며, 원전 주위에 방사능 유포 위험을 늘리지 않는다는 것을 목표로 화재안전 프로그램이 운영되고 작동중인 원자로의 넓은 적용 범위에서 초기 탐지능력을 강화하는 것이 중요하다고 할 수 있다.

In this paper, monitoring system and platform of plant growth are suggested which are required by safe crop management about disaster and radiation pollution. In addition, by monitoring plant growth, the growth of plants that can measure the size of the efficient system was developed. The expected effect of this study, first, through natural disasters and radioactive contamination monitors produce fast and accurate response function can result in improved quality and productivity. Second, the size of the plant required to maintain the measurement data can save time and expense savings. Finally, plant managers can improve work efficiency.

We reviewed the scientific literature on psychological effects of Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, Explosive (CBRNE) disaster, which is one of the biggest threat to modern society. CBRNE disaster has the potential to cause specific physical symptoms and psychological distress in victims ; moreover, various toxic symptoms and carcinogenesis/mutation would be an important issue. Bioterrorism can cause localized outbreaks of infectious disease or pandemic disaster. Somatization as well as posttraumatic stress symptoms and depression are the characteristic psychological symptoms in CBRNE disaster's victims. CBRNE disasters could lead to large-scale public fear and social chaos due to the difficulties involved in verifying the extent of exposure and unfamiliar area to the common people. In the evacuation process, problems associated with adjustment and conflict between victims and residents should be considered.

This experimental research as media effect study explores the effect of the current documentary that deals with radioactive contamination widely spread by fukushima nuclear accident on political and social recognition of domestic audience. Proceeding studies about media effect dealt mainly with news contents of TV, newspaper and internet. However studies on the effect of current documentary as non news contents on audience that provide us with profound information by various subjects are very few. Especially it is difficult to find studies about disaster documentary dealing with radioactive contamination having much effect on global environment. Accordingly this research implemented experimental study to find out the effect of current documentary that deals with radioactive contamination by fukushima nuclear accident on political and social recognition of audience. This research found that subjects exposed to the current documentary considered outdated nuclear power plant more seriously, supporting the opposition party more positively, claiming shutdown of outdated nuclear power plant, and opposing additive construction of nuclear power plant than subjects not exposed to the current documentary.

최근 무인로봇 시장이 커지면서 국방관련, 민간, 상업적으로 무인로봇의 수요가 증가하고 있다. 이는 사람이 직접 접근할 수 없는 재난발생지역, 환경오염지역, 방사능위험지역, 국가 간 분쟁지역 등에 무인항공기나 무인지상로봇을 투입하여 실시간 원격으로 재난피해 정도를 관찰하고 인명구조작업, 생존자 위치파악, 국경지대 순찰 등에 효과적인 시스템으로 활용할 수 있다. 하지만, 제한적인 환경에서 가지고 있는 부품들이 기능을 제대로 동작하지 않을 때, 하나의 센서 또는 부품을 활용한 위치추적, 원격제어 및 자율주행 등이 가능해야 한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 1개의 이미지 센서를 통해, 객체의 색을 인식하고 추적하는 시스템을 개발하고자 한다. 특히, 기존의 거리감지 센서 기반의 색 객체 추적 알고리즘에 비교하여, 면적중심 값의 변화량에 따라 객체추적의 반응속도를 증가시켜 쉽게 객체를 추적할 수 있는 시스템을 개발하고자 한다.

Purpose: This study seeks to draw out implications that must be considered in the process of establishing measures to evacuate residents in preparation for domestic nuclear disasters by conducting an investigation about the disaster situation at the time of the Fukushima nuclear power plant explosion, emergency warning situation for residents protection, evacuation situation and In addition to investigating problems and measures raised in the resident protection system at that time. Method: A literature survey was conducted focusing on reports published by Japan's national, parliament, local governments and related agencies from right after the Great East Japan Earthquake to the present. Result: Found out what needs to be considered in the process of establishing domestic radiation disaster measures through the results of the survey on the problems and countermeasures derived from the process of evacuation of residents at the time of the Fukushima nuclear power plant explosion. Conclusion: The reviews were classified into four categories and detailed reviews were presented.

In Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN) disaster, integrated and optimized equipment package including stretcher, isolation unit, patient monitoring and treatment equipment is essential to achieve proper treatment and prevent secondary contamination. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficiency and ease of use of integrated CBRN disaster equipment package for disaster medical response. This study was a randomized crossover study using a manikin simulation for emergency medical technitian (EMT). All participants used the existing devices and prototype of integrated CBRN disaster equipment package alternately. Efficiency was measured by time from vital sign change to detection or treatment application. Ease was use was measured by questionnaires for each patient monitor, stretcher care and isolation unit. 12 EMTs were enrolled. hypoxia-detection time of integrated equipment group was significantly shorter than existing equipment group (4.9 s (3.8-3.9) vs 3.5 s (2.5-3.9), p < 0.05). There was decreasing tendency of ECG change detection and facial mask oxygen supply but no statistical significance was observed. Overall satisfaction of patient monitoring device in integrated equipment group was significantly higher than existing devices (4(3.5-5) vs 3(3-3), p < 0.05). The use of integrated CBRN disaster equipment package shortened the hypoxia detection time and improved usability of vital sign monitor compared to existing devices.

Recently, three kinds of search robot prototypes were developed to assume the role of fire fighters for search and rescue missions in special disaster areas with high heat, smoke, toxic gases, or radioactivity. To accomplish search missions, these robots should be able to endure heat, overcome various obstacles, suppress fires, and see through dense smoke. This study investigated the heat resistance, practicality, and fire fighting capacity of these robots. The results show that the small and middle-sized robots were resistant to surrounding temperatures of $100{\sim}200^{\circ}C$, and the fire-fighter-riding robot could endure up to $500^{\circ}C$ for half an hour. The fire-fighter-riding robot showed excellent extinguishing performance on an A-10 class fire model, which was extinguished within 3 min. The robots also showed various capacities for overcoming obstacles and are expected to play an active role in various special disaster areas.
