The oxygen and hydrogen isotopic composition in precipitation, groundwater and geothermal water were monitored over four-year period from 2001 to 2004 at the Yuseong catchment, Daejeon. By analyzing the long term rainfall pattern, we found out the drought cycle of 6 or 7 year. We fortunately revealed that the oxygen and hydrogen isotopic composition of rain has progressively changed to heavier isotopic ratios from 2001 to 2004. The weighted mean values of ${\delta}^{18}O\;and\;{\delta}D$ of rain are calculated to be $-7.7%o\;and\;-51%o$, respectively. These isotopic values are much heavier than those of groundwater and geothermal water collected at the same period, which indicates that the rain or snow of the study area would not immediately affect the isotopic composition of groundwater or geothermal water. Comparing with the previous data, the groundwater and geothermal water collected at 1990 and 1992 year has the heaviest isotopic composition and afterwards their isotopic composition has been progressively shifted to the direction of lighter composition field.

This study deals with a process for recovering hydrogen isotopes from fusion exhaust gas. The goal of this process is to remove impurities, maximally recover only pure hydrogen isotopes. Experiments using hydrogen and deuterium were conducted to confirm the possibility of the recovery of hydrogen isotopes. In the exhaust gas containing H₂, impurities was removed in the membrane process, and only pure H₂ was recovered. And the H₂ in the exhaust gas of the He-GDC(Glow Discharge Cleaning) process was recovered using a cryogenic adsorption process. In addition, HAZOP analysis was performed for qualitative risk assessment. For scenario analysis, the damage prediction ALOHA program was used to calculate the range of influence. Finally measures were sought to improve safety.

Stable isotope ratios of oxygen and hydrogen were investigated in southern Yellow Sea in August 1997. Salinity showed good positive correlation with ${\delta}^{18}$O and ${\delta}$. The correlation between ${\delta}^{18}$O and ${\delta}$D is good. From the relationship between these parameters, we obtained two lines of conclusion: 1) seawater of study area I in summer is a mixture of Changjiang Water and modified Kuroshio Water; 2) stable isotopes are very useful tracers in studying property and behavior of water masses in the study area. In case when water masses can not be easily distinguished by T-S analysis, the stable isotopes seem to be powerful tools for this purpose.

핵융합로는 고온의 고밀도 플라즈마에 노출되므로 고 열부하 및 플라즈마 이온에 의한 물성수치를 충분히 고려한 재질로 구축하여야 한다. 특히 핵융합의 연료인 중수소, 삼중수소와 관련하여 플라즈마 대면 부품, 블랑켓, 열 교환기 등의 구축재질에 대한 수소동위원소의 누설거동 데이터 확보는 삼중수소의 취급 및 안전성과 경제성 측면에서 매우 중요하다. 현재 국내의 삼중수소 누설거동과 관련된 실험장치 개발 및 데이터는 관련 연구가 진행되는 선진국에 비해 초보적인 수준이며, 핵융합 기술의 자력개발을 위해서도 수소동위원소 관련 누설거동 데이터의 확보는 매우 중요하다. 본 연구는 삼중수소 누설거동 해석을 위한 예비 실험으로, 수소를 사용하는 누설거동 실험장치를 설계 제작하여 기초실험을 수행하였다. 시편은 스테인레스 스틸(SS-316L)을 사용하였으며, 시편의 두께를 변화시켜가며 수소에 대한 activation energy, permeability, diffusivity, solubility를 구한 후 타 연구그룹의 실험결과와 비교 하였다.

가압 중수로형 원자력발전소에서는 중수 중의 중수소와 중성자의 반응에 의하여 수소동위원소인 삼중수소(트리튬)가 불가피하게 생성되는데 발전소의 가동 년수가 증가함에 따라 계통내 중수중의 삼중수소 농도도 증가하게 된다. 따라서 계통내 삼중수소화 중수로부터 삼중수소를 분리하여, 중수는 원자로로 순환하고 분리된 삼중수소는 별도로 저장할 필요가 있다. 이 과정에서 분리$\cdot$농축된 삼중수소는 방사성 물질일 뿐만 아니라 앞으로 핵융합 연구에 매우 중요하게 이용되어야 할 자원이기 때문에 이를 안전하게 저장하기 위한 기술(저장기술)과 경우에 따라 지정된 장소로 운반하기 위한 기술(운반기술)이 필요하다.(중략)

이 연구는 안정동위원소를 이용하여 제주도 한림 지역의 지하수 환경 및 오염 특성을 규명하고자 시행되었다. 이를 위해 2002년 8월, 11월과 2003년 4월, 8월 네 차례에 걸쳐 39개 지점에서 지하수 및 용천수 시료를 채취하였다. 연구지역은 농촌지역의 대표적 오염특성인 질산성 질소의 오염이 심각하게 나타났으며, 고도 100m 내외에서 급증하는 특성을 보인다. 특히, 집중 강수가 있었던 8월에는 이러한 현상이 심화되었다. 질소 동위원소를 이용한 오염원 추정 결과, 대부분 화학비료의 영향으로 나타났으며, 이는 토지 이용 특성과 일치한다. 강수의 산소ㆍ수소 동위원소 조성은 '우량효과'를 반영하였으며, 지하수 시료들의 경우 함양에서 배출까지 순환이 매우 빠른 지하수 환경을 나타낸다.

In this study, we have surveyed the new technologies in the cryogenic distillation of ITER, equilibrium reactors and helium refrigeration cycle contained in the isotope separation system (ISS). We also have collected thermodynamic and transport properties for $H_2$, HD, $D_2$, HT, DT and $T_2$ components of which properties are not built in a general purpose chemical process simulators such as Aspen Plus and PRO/II with PROVISION. Verification works have been performed to compare between literature data and simulation results. For the simulation of ISS involving six hydrogen isotope components, four distillation columns and two equilibrium reactors are used for the separation of $D_2$ and DT from $T_2$.

Isotopic compositions of precipitation have been used to understand moisture transport in the atmosphere and interactions between precipitation and groundwater. Isotopic compositions of speleothems and ice cores, so called, ''paleoarchives'', can be utilized to interpret climate of the past and global circulation models (GCMs). The GCMs are able to explain the paleoarchives, can be validated by the precipitation isotopes. The developments of stable isotope analyzers make high-resolution isotopic studies feasible. Therefore, a high-resolution study of precipitation isotopes is needed. For this study, precipitation samples were collected for every 5 to 15 minutes, depending on precipitation rates, using an auto-sampler for precipitation isotopes near coastal area. The isotopic compositions of precipitation range from -5.7‰ (-40.1‰) to -10.8‰ (-74.3‰) for oxygen (hydrogen). The slope of ${\delta}^{18}O-{\delta}D$ diagram for the whole period is 6.8, but that of each storm is 5.1, 4.2, 7.9 and 7.7, respectively. It indicates that evaporation occurred during the first two storms, while the latter two storm did not experience any evaporation. The isotopic fractionations of precipitation has significant implications for the water cycle and high-resolution data of precipitation isotopes will be needed for the future studies.
