The amount of the tritium released from Wolsong units during the WTRF operation is predicted. The profiles of tritium concentration in moderators and PHTs as variation of WTRF service allotment for each Wolsong unit are calculated, and the tritium releases are obtained from these tritium concentration profiles. The tritium concentration in moderator will be decreased down under 10 Ci/kg in 2013 and the yearly tritium release will be reduced below 25% of WTRF start year.

As the environmental pollution caused by excessive uses of chemical fertilizers and pesticides is aggravated, organic farming using pasture and livestock manure is gaining an increased necessity. The application rate of the organic farming materials to the field is determined as a function of crops and soil types, weather and cultivation surroundings. When livestock manure is used for organic farming materials, the volatilization of ammonia from field-spread animal manure is a major source of atmospheric pollution and leads to a significant reduction in the fertilizer value of the manure. Therefore, an ammonia emission model should be presented to reduce the ammonia emission and to know appropriate application rate of manure. In this study, the ammonia emission rate from field-applied pig manure is predicted using an artificial neural network (ANN) method, where the Michaelis-Menten equation is employed for the ammonia emission rate model. Two model parameters (total loss of ammonia emission rate and time to reach the half of the total emission rate) of the model are predicted using a feedforward-backpropagation ANN on the basis of the ALFAM (Ammonia Loss from Field-applied Animal Manure) database in Europe. The relative importance among 15 input variables influencing ammonia loss is identified using the weight partitioning method. As a result, the ammonia emission is influenced mush by the weather and the manure state.

This study was conducted to investigate the fluoride release of fluoride-containing restorative materials in fluoride recharging according to the concentration of fluoride toothpaste used in Korea. Samples of glass ionomer cement, resin-modified glass ionomer cement, alkasite restorative material, and composite resin were prepared and fluoride release was measured on days 1, 3, 7, 14, 21, 28. Thereafter, fluoride-free, 500 ppm, and 1450 ppm fluoride toothpaste was applied to each restorative materials, and the fluoride release was measured on days 1, 3, 7. Glass ionomer cement showed the highest cumulative fluoride release until the 7th day of measurement, and from the 14th day onwards, the resin-modified glass ionomer cement showed the highest cumulative fluoride release, but there was no significant difference. When restorative material groups were recharged with 500 ppm of fluoride toothpaste, the fluoride release was significantly higher only for the alkasite restorative material compared to the fluoride-free toothpaste group (p < 0.017). When restorative material groups were recharged with 1450 ppm of fluoride toothpaste, the fluoride release was significantly higher in all restorative groups compared to the fluoride-free toothpaste group (p < 0.017).

Soil respiration in forest ecosystems play an important role in global carbon cycle. This study was carried out to determine the annual variation of soil $CO_2$ efflux for 4 years in a broadleaved deciduous forest of the Geumsan (Mt.) Long-Term Ecological Research (GLTER) site in Southern Korea. The soil $CO_2$ efflux in the GLTER site showed annual variations with the fluctuations of annual mean soil temperature, but not with those of soil water content. The annual mean soil $CO_2$ efflux except for winter season was 0.32 g $CO_2\;m^{-2}h^{-1}$ for 2008, 0.40 g $CO_2\;m^{-2}h^{-1}$ for 2009, 0.41 g $CO_2\;m^{-2}h^{-1}$ for 2007, and 0.54 g $CO_2\;m^{-2}h^{-1}$ for 2010. The lowest soil $CO_2$ effluxin 2008 was associated with the lowest soil temperature ($2.0^{\circ}C$) in comparison with those of other years ($13.0-13.5^{\circ}C$). The exponential relationships between monthly soil $CO_2$ efflux and the corresponding soil temperature at the soil depth of 20 cm were significant ($R^2$ = 0.31-0.75, P < 0.05). The results indicate that the annual variation of soil $CO_2$ efflux was attributed to the variations of soil temperature rather than soil water content in the GLTER site.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the characteristics of the indoor air quality by season. The surveyed houses were 48 new apartment complex in 2012 across the country. The houses were carried out the bakeout before the test. The measuring method was "Indoor air quality testing standards process" and the measured items were formaldehyde, benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylene, styrene average emissions. All the items were more emitting during the summer. From June to September the average concentration of formaldehyde emission was higher than other seasons. The average emissions of benzene concentrations in all seasons were released in small quantities. Average emissions of toluene and ethylbenzene concentration from April to August showed slightly higher emissions. Xylene and styrene concentration showed the highest emissions at April, but without large deviations throughout the year.

우주용 고분자 재료의 기체방출 특성에 대한 측정 및 분석은 위성의 운용 시 방출된 분자에 의한 오염 거동을 예측하기 위한 전산 모사에 필요하다. 일반적으로 우주용 재료의 기체 방출량을 측정하는 방법으로는 TML(Total Mass Loss) 및 CVCM(Collected Volatile Condensible Material) 등이 규정되어있으나 이 방법들은 단지 측정 전과 후의 질량 차이만을 규정하고 있어서 시간에 따른 기체방출 양상을 분석하기 어렵다. 유량법(Throughput method)은 시료를 진공 용기에 넣고 일정한 배기속도로 배기하면서 측정한 압력 값으로부터 기체방출량을 얻는 방법이다. 유량법을 이용하면 시간에 따른 기체방출특성 뿐만 아니라 측정 전 후의 질량 차이도 측정 및 분석할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 이 유량법을 이용하여 측정한 우주용 재료의 기체방출 특성을 분석하고, 이로부터 분자오염 거동을 예측하기 위한 전산 모사에 필요한 입력 데이터를 추출하였다. 이때 기체방출 데이터는 간단한 1차 탈착 곡선의 조합으로 근사하였다.

지난해 우리나라 총 전력생산량 중 36$\%$를 원자력발전이 담당하였고, 그만큼 전력생산에서 차지하는 원전의 비중이 커서, 그 중요성은 어느 때보다도 부각되고 있다. 현재 우리나라의 전력수요는 매년 10$\%$ 이상 급격히 증가하고 있고, 또 자원이 없는 우리나라로서는 원자력발전을 계속 추구할 수 밖에 없다. 그러나 원전에는 원료로 우라늄을 사용하고 있기 때문에 이 우라늄의 연소과정에서 방사성물질이 발생되고 또 이 중 일부가 방사성폐기물로 외부환경에 방출된다. 원전에서는 이런 폐기물 방출을 억제할 수 있는 시설이 충분히 갖추어져 있어 방출량이 극소량이 되도록 하고 있지만, 이런 소량 방출에도 원전 주변환경이 과연 안전하게 보전되었는지 지난해 수행한 환경방사능 조사결과를 요약$\cdot$정리하면서 알아본다.

The Purpose of this study are to investigate the characteristics of the flame behavior of gasoline-methanol blended fuels in spark ignition engine. Ionization probe were installed at the cylinder head and piston in order to measure flame speed. Other parameter such as engine performance, fuel consumption rate and exhaust gas were measured. The results were as follows. 1. In the case of increase methanol contents in blend fuel, flame propagation speed were increased, and thermal efficiency of the engine were increased due to decrease of energy consumption rate. 2. In the case of fixed equivalance ratio, NO sub(X) in exhaust gas were increased in accordance with increase of spark advance, and mean effective pressure were decreased in accordance with increase of methanol contents. 3. CO and HC concentration were decreased in accordance with increase of methanol contents.
