This study was performed to investigate the efficiency of the corrosion prevention in the simulated distribution system using CCPP(Calcium Carbonate Precipitation Potential) as the anti-corrosive index by adjusting pH, total dissolved solids, alkalinity and calcium hardness in the water treatment pilot process. The materials of the simulated distribution system(SDS) were equiped with same materials of real field water distribution system. CCPP concentrations controlled by $Ca(OH)_2$, $CO_2$ gas and $Na_2CO_3$ in the simulated distribution system and uncontrolled by the chemicals in the general water distribution system were average 0.61 mg/L and -7.77 mg/L. The concentrations of heavy metals like Fe, Zn, Cu ions in effluent water of the simulated distribution system controlled with water quality were decreased rather than the general water distribution system uncontrolled with water quality. In simulated distribution system(SDS), corrosion prevention film formed by CCPP control was observed that scale was come into forming six months later and it was formed into density as time goes on. We were analyzed XRD(X-ray diffraction) for investigating component of crystal compounds and structure for galvanized steel pipe(15 mm). Finding on analysis, scale was compounded to $Zn_4CO_3(OH)_6{\cdot}H_2O$ (Zinc Carbonate Hydroxide Hydrate) after ten months late, and it was compounded on $CaCO_3$(Calcium Carbonate) and $ZnCO_3$(Smithsonite) after nineteen months later.

Nuclear Power Plants require the control ability of chemical condition (pH) because pH control during transient accident such as LOCA makes an able the fission product removal capability to be maintained, stress corrosion cracking of stainless steel equipment to be prevented and the production of hydrogen by aluminum and zinc to be minimized. An NPP is designed to control the pH of containment spray and sump coolant using the spray additives 30% NaOH in the event of loss of coolant accident. In this paper, the pH of sump coolant of an NPP during LOCA was analyzed and the fission products removal constant and decontamination factor were calculated according to Standard Review Plan 6.5.2 related to spray chemical conditions of pH. The calculated pH value of recirculation mode using the computer code corresponds to 8.09~9.67, which meets the chemical environment regulation requirements. The fission product removal capability caused by containment spray system is performed to provide input to radiation analysis.

Corrosion inhibitors including calcium hydroxide have been used to prevent corrosion in the pipes for tap water supply. The corrosion index (i.e., Langelier Index) differs by area and water quality. The corrosion indices of the areas studied differed by more than 2.0. The 'homogenized' calcium hydroxide was added to the treated water at the K water treatment plant, in order to increase the value of the corrosion index and the concentration of calcium. As the result, the concentration of calcium was increased while the turbidity and pH changed little. The corrosion rate of the tap water with the 'homogenized' calcium hydroxide could be slowed down pretty much. The results suggested that the technology of 'homogenization' of calcium hydroxide can applied to tap water and desalinated water to prevent corrosion in water pipes even in corrosive pipes.

원자력발전소 운전시 원자로냉각재는 부식 방지를 위해 적절한 화학물질을 함유하고 있어야한다. 이러한 원자로냉각재의 수질화학 조절은 유량조절 기능과 화학제주입 기능을 가진 화학 및 체적제어계통의 화학제주입탱크 및 체적제어탱크에 의하여 이루어진다. 본 연구에서는 영광5,6호기에서 화학제주입계통의 연결위치를 충전펌프 후단에서 전단으로 변경하고, 원자로보충수펌프에 의하여 화학제주입을 수행할 경우 요구되는 주입운전시간 특성에 대해 수치해석을 이용하여 분석하였다. 분석은 설계요건에서 요구되는 화학제주입탱크의 용량 및 주입유량을 고정하고 탱크의 구조적형상 변경, disk block 설치 및 주입속도를 변경(입구배관 크기 변경)하여 각각의 경우에 대하여 시간변화에 대한 탱크 내에서의 유속분포, 농도분포, 평균농도 등 을 구하였다. 분석결과 발전소의 빠른 화학제주입운전을 위해서는 탱크 내에 혼합효과를 중대 시킬 수 있는 disk block의 설치가 요구됨을 알 수 있었다.

느타리버섯은 맛, 향기 및 영양가가 일반 채소류나 일부 버섯류에 비하여 높고, 고혈압, 당뇨병에도 효과가 있으며, 특히 항암효과 등의 약리활성이 있어서 오래 전부터 한국과 일본에서 부식으로 이용되었다. 느타리버섯의 국내 재배면적 및 생산량은 1988년 832,346평에 29,386톤에서 1997년 에는 2,100,890 평에 83,606톤으로 증가되었다. 그러나 생산량의 증가추세에 부합하는 재배기술의 축적, 적정 재배환경 관리의 모델화가 미흡하기 때문에 그 생산량은 국민적인 소비욕구를 충족시키지 못하고 있다. (중략)

KAERI is conducting research on spent cladding hulls and additive metals to generate a solidification host matrix for the noble metal fission product waste in anode sludge from the electro-refining process to minimize the volume of waste that needs to be disposed of. In this study, alloy compositions Zr-17Cr, Zr-22Cr, and Zr-27Cr were prepared with or without eight noble metals representing fuel waste using induction melting. The microstructures of the resulting alloys were characterized and electrochemical corrosion tests were conducted to evaluate their corrosion characteristics. All the compositions had better corrosion characteristics than other Zr-based alloys that were evaluated for comparison. Analysis of the leach solution after the corrosion test of the Zr-22Cr-8NM specimen indicated that the noble metals were not leached during corrosion under 500 mV imposed voltage, which simulates a highly oxidizing disposal environment. The results of this study confirm that Zr-Cr based compositions will likely serve as chemically stable waste forms.

Many studies have investigated the airborne chlorides that can weaken the overall durability of the concrete structures due to the corrosion of steel materials, but most of the studies have aimed to examine weathering by exposing various construction materials to the actual oceanic environment. However, with the exposure test, it was difficult to find the threshold of precise corrosive amount of airborne chlorides due to diverse deteriorating environmental factors such as ultraviolet ray, acid rain, floating material from industrial pollution as well as airborne chlorides. Therefore, in this study, an airborne chloride simulator was set up, in oder to conduct a corrosion accelerating test for steels coated by five different finishing materials. As results, it was found that the corrosion began to be observed at $0.58{\sim}0.73mg/dm^2$ for no-coated steel, at $7.89{\sim}8.46mg/dm^2$for urethane-coated steel, at $57.95{\sim}69.48mg/dm^2$ for red lead-coated steel, and at $80.73{\sim}89.35mg/dm^2$ for stainless-coated steel, respectively. Hence, these specific data can be considered as the threshold ranges of corrosion for each coating material for steel.

하천생태계가 호수나 습지생태계와 비교하여 갖는 가장 큰 특징은 '흐름'이 강하게 존재한다는 점이다. 댐과 보 등의 인공물은 하천 내 흐름을 변화시키고, 유량을 조절함으로써 하류에서의 퇴적물 축적, 입자크기, 강의 경사 등의 환경적인 요인이 변화하게 된다. 낙동강 하류는 상류부에 설치되어 있는 안동, 임하, 합천, 밀양 및 남강댐 등 다목적댐과 그 사이에 설치된 보에 의해 지속적으로 하천 유량이 조절되고 있다. 댐/보와 하구둑이 연계된 정체성 조절하천 시스템인 낙동강의 경우, 기후변화와 그에 따른 강우패턴의 변화에 직접적인 영향을 미친다. 특히, 다기능보는 하천을 횡단하는 수공구조물로써 보의 수문운영 방식에 따라 유량이 변화하여 하상변동 및 유사이동 형태의 변화 가능성이 있다. 그러나 기후변화에 따른 유출량 변화와 하상변동을 연계하여 분석한 연구는 매우 드물기 때문에 본 연구가 충분히 가치가 있다고 판단된다. 본 연구에서는 낙동강 유역의 구미보 하류와 칠곡보 구간에서 미래기후시나리오를 예측하여 SWAT 모형에 적용하여 수문모의를 통한 유출량 분석을 수행하였다. 미래 유출량 분석결과를 하상변동 모델인 GSTARS의 입력자료로 적용하여 유출량 변화에 따른 하상변동 양상을 분석하고자 하였다. GSTARS 모델의 수류튜브와 유사량 공식을 적용하여 연구구간에서의 최심하상고 분석과 주요지점에서의 횡단면 사행분석을 수행하여 유출량 변화에 따른 하상의 변화와 그에 따른 수리계수들의 변화를 분석하였다.

The pH & alkalinity adjustment method by lime and carbon dioxide($CO_2$) for corrosion control in water distribution system was investigated to determine the optimum operational condition in lime adding process in water treatment plant(WTP). The mixing time at dissolution tank and sedimentation time at saturator for maintaining optimal turbidity condition of lime supernatant were 60~75 minutes and 75~95 minutes, respectively. There was no difference according to $CO_2$ adding methods such as $CO_2$ saturated water or $CO_2$ gas. But, $CO_2$ saturated water could be convenience at WTP in terms of pH control and quantitative dosing. To minimize generation of calcium carbonate products, the short time interval between adding of lime and $CO_2$ is most important. The lime should be added below 32 mg/l for preventing pH rising and generation of calcium carbonate products at the heating condition.
