Recently, there has been a growing interest in reducing greenhouse gases in all industrial fields. In the construction industry, studies have been conducted for the use of high-volume fly ash concrete to replace cement with fly ash. Quantitative measurements of cement hydration and fly ash reactivity enable a clear understanding of the strength development mechanism of high-volume fly ash concrete. It is very difficult to describe the reactivity in a simple way because the hydration and pozzolanic reactions of cement paste containing fly ash are very complex and the composition of the hydration product cannot be accurately determined. This study investigated the hydration and mechanical properties of high volume fly ash (HVFA) cement according to the substitution rate of fly ash (FA). The hydration degree of cement and the reactivity of FA were evaluated through the selective dissolution method and the non-evaporable water content of the paste according to age. In addition, compressive strength was measured using HVFA mortar specimens according to age. As a result of the experiment, as the substitution rate of fly ash increased, the hydration degree of cement increased, but the reactivity of FA decreased.

Some recent researches reported that high temperature rising decreases the carbonation depth of concrete, which is contrary to the previous research results. Carbonation has been known as a reaction between calcium hydroxide and carbon dioxide. But a few researches showed that the other cement hydrates as well as calcium hydroxide react with carbon dioxide. This paper investigates the influence of temperature on carbonation and the variation of $Ca(OH)_2$ and $CaCO_3$ by carbonation. In order to estimate the carbonation depth and the quantities of reactant and product of carbonation reaction, phenolphthalein testing and thermagravimetric analyzer test were conducted. The measurement of carbonation depth with temperature showed that the temperature increase from $20^{\circ}C$ to $30^{\circ}C$C in carbonation environment makes the carbonation depth larger, but the increase from $30^{\circ}C$ to $40^{\circ}C$ has a small influence on the carbonation depth. Comparing calcium hydroxide and calcium carbonate with temperature, the quantity of $CaCO_3$ of specimen carbonated at $30^{\circ}C$ is greater than that of specimen carbonated at $40^{\circ}C$ and the quantity of $Ca(OH)_2$ of specimen carbonated at $30^{\circ}C$ is similar to that of specimen carbonated at $40^{\circ}C$. This observation shows that there is the optimum temperature increasing carbonation depth and the optimum temperature is close to $30^{\circ}C$.

출력운전 동안 원자로 냉각재의 정화 없이 운전하는 SMART원자로의 수화학 설계 요건을 정립하기 위하여 핵연료 피복관 및 계통재질의 부식을 최소화하고 부식 생성물의 방사화에 의한 방사선 준위의 상승을 억제하기 위한 수화학 운전 변수에 대한 정성적인 분석을 시도하였다. 원자로냉각재 의 pH 제어 계통을 구성하는 재질의 부식에 따른 건전성, 부식생성물의 거동 및 원자로 냉각재의 방사선 준위 측면에서 수화학 설계 요건이 적절한지의 여부를 살펴보았다 분석 결과, 원자로냉각재의 pH 제어는 암모니아를 이용하므로 높은 pH(= 9.5∼10.6)에서 운전이 가능하며, 계통재질의 부식을 최소화하며 방사선 준위의 상승을 억제할 수 있었다. 또한 SMART 증기발생기 튜브에 사용된 titanium 합금은 주어진 운전 조건하에서 Inconel-600보다 내 부식성이 매우(약 12 배) 우수하였다.

Radioactive nuclides deposited on out-of-core surface after the radiation in the core by the transport of corrosion products (CRUD) through the primary coolant system in PWR which is the major plant type in Korea, are leading sources of radiation exposure to plant maintenance personnel. Thus, the optimal chemistry operation method is required for the reduction of radiation exposure by the corrosion products. This study analysed the actual water chemistry operation data of four operating domestic PWRs. And in order to evaluate the coolant chemistry operation data, a computer code which can calculate the activity buildup in the various chemistry conditions of PWR coolant was employed. Through the analysis of comparison between the activity buildup of actual water chemistry operation mode and that of assumed Elevated Li operation mode calculated by the computer code, it was found that the out-of core radioactivity can be reduced by diminishing the deposition of corrosion products on the core in case that the Elevated Li operation mode is applied to the coolant chemistry operation of PWR. And the higher coolant pH operation was shown to have the advantage of the reduction of out-of-core activity buildup if the integrity of system structural materials and fuel cladding is guaranteed.

Aluminum nitride was hydrolyzed in contact with water, evolving the reaction heat of 172 cal/g within 12 hours to form alumina trihydrates. At 4$0^{\circ}C$ >, amorphous alumina hydrate was easily produced by the spontaneous breaks of AlN particle at the beginning of the hydrolysis process, while bayerite was formed by the dissolution-recrystallization processes of amorphous alumina hydrate at the temperature between 4$0^{\circ}C$ and 6$0^{\circ}C$, and pseudo-boehmite was generated on the surface of AlN particle by the condensation process of the corresponding phase at 6$0^{\circ}C$ <. The longer the hydrolysis timje or the higher the value of pH in solution, the more the bayerite phase was produced. However, pseudo-boehmite was easily generated under the following favorable conditions; when the hydrolysis reaction occured rapidly at the beginning and when the absorption of OH radical on the surface of AlN particle was disturbed by ethyl alcohol in a solution. However, aluminum nitride was hardly hydrolyzed in a solution of pH 2.0.

The study was carried on the influence of {{{{ { {H }_{3 }BO }_{3 } }} for hydration of blended rapid hardening cement which was composed of {{{{ {{C }`_{4 } ^{ }A }_{3 } }} Adding {{{{ { {H }_{3 }BO }_{3 } }} to the mortar of blended rapid hardening cement delayed the setting time and increased the flow of the mortar. When {{{{ { {H }_{3 }BO }_{3 } }} added to the blended rapid hardening cement mono-sulfate was produced rather than ettringite and the existing time of monosulfate also prolonged. After hours monosulfate was converted to ettringite through being producted like gels. This monosulfate phase in-fluences on the setting time and flow of fresh mortar.

적황색토와 플라이애쉬의 혼합비율에 증가에 따라 건조밀도도 증가하며 최적함수비는 감소하는 경향이고 2차 첨가재인 소석회 및 시멘트 첨가에 의한 건조밀도의 증가는 보이나 처리토의 경량화의 범위는 1:03~1:0.5 정도임을 확인할 수 있었다. 프라이애쉬의 혼합비율이 증가해도 프라이애쉬의 고유산화칼슘(CaO)의 함유량이 적으면 유리산화칼슘의 증가도 크지 않으나, 2차 첨가재인 소석회 및 시멘트 첨가량의 증대에 따라 증가한다. 이는 첨가재에 의한 수화반응의 증가로 확인되며, 본 처리토는 Ion 교환작용과 Pozzolan 반응 생성물인 규산칼슘석회수화물(5CaO.6SiO$_2$.5$H_2O$, Tobermorite)과 알민산유산석회수화물(3CaO.Al$_2$O$_3$.3CaSO$_4$.32$H_2O$, Ettringite)가 주된 반응생성물이며 확인된 알민산유산석회수화물(Ettringite)의 회절 X-선 강도는 2차 첨가재의 첨가에 따른 수화반응으로 수화물은 점차 증가하며 상대적으로 일축압축강도도 상응한 강도발현을 하여 고결화 효과에 기여하고 있음을 보여준다.

PWR 원전의 냉각재 화학 및 체적제어 계통(CVCS) 정화 탈염기는 핵연료에서 방출된 핵분열 생성물질과 방사성 부식생성물을 제거하여 계통 내 방사능 준위를 낮추고, 부식을 유발하는 불순물을 제거하여 계통의 건전성을 유지하며, pH 조절제인 리튬($^{7}$ Li$_3$)의 농도조절을 통해 냉각계 수화학 환경을 최적으로 유지시킨다. 이를 위해 CVCS에는 정화용 혼상 탈염기와 $^{7}$ Li$_3$ 조절용 양이온 탈염기가 설치되었으며, 각각의 탈염기는 독립적인 기능을 수행한다. 이는 원전 운전 중 중성자와 붕소($^{10}$ B$_{5}$ )의 핵반응으로 생성된 $^{7}$ Li$_3$3 의 회수가 불가능하기 때문에 정화 탈염기에는 값비싼 $^{7}$ Li$_3$ 포화형 수지를 충전하여야 한다. Pn 원전은 연료교체를 위해 주기적으로 연료계장전 기간을 갖으며 이에 따라 원자로 기동 수화학, 운전중 B/Li 농도조절에 의한 pH 화학, 원자로 정지화학 등의 주기적인 냉각재 수화학 관리를 해오고 있다. 본 연구에서는 효율적인 정화탈염기의 운영방안을 제시함으로 운전중 붕소의 핵분열로 생성되는 $^{7}$ Li$_3$ 의 회수가 가능하고 수지의 사용량 절감으로 수지폐기물 발생량 저감화를 이를 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
