발전소 물/증기 순환계통의 주요 기기인 증기발생기/보일러는 금속산화물과 각종 불순물이 축적되면 전열관이 손상되므로, 증기발생기/보일러 내부로 최소의 슬러지가 유입되고, 증기발생기 내부에서 금속산화물 입자가 형성되는 것을 억제하기 위해 수질관리를 하고 있으며, 증기발생기 내부에 존재하는 슬러지를 배출하기 위해 Blowdown 및 Sludge Lancing 등의 물리적 방법을 이용하는 기술이 개발되어 있다. 그러나 이러한 관리에도 불구하고 슬러지 성분인 금속산화물 농도는 운전 조건에 따라 매우 다르며(불순물 잠복 및 방출 현상), 아직까지 잠복현상에 대한 기본적인 메커니즘은 완전히 규명되고 있지 않다. 본 연구에서는 물/증기 순환계통 부식생성물의 물성 평가를 하기 위해 순환계통 기기들과 배관 부식생성물의 대부분인 철분이 부식에 가장 큰 영향을 미치기 때문에, 수화학 조건 및 금속합금 종류에 따라 생성되는 부식생성물을 철분을 중심으로 하여 실험하였고, 또한 부식생성물은 온도에 의해서도 영향을 많이 받기 때문에 다양한 온도에서도 부식생성물 생성 실험을 하였다.

가압경수로의 압력경계기기는 약 $300^{\circ}C$, 150기압의 고온고압수환경에서 가동되고 있다. 특히 가압기 밀림관은 고온수와, 저온수가 교차하는 부분으로 열성층 형성으로 열적, 기계적 피로 및 수화학환경이 더해진 부식피로 등에 의하여 손상을 받는다. PWR 원전에서 수화학환경은 대표적으로 용존산소(DO) 5ppb, pH 6~8, 용존수소(DH) <30 cc/kg, 온도 $316^{\circ}C$의 환경을 유지하게 된다. 가압기 밀림관에는 오스테나이트계 스테인리스강이 사용되는데, 오스테나이트계 스테인리스강은 고온 수화학환경에 민감한 것으로 알려져 있다. 따라서 오스테나이트계 스테인리강을 공기중에서의 기계적특성 및 피로특성을 향상시키기 위하여 질소를 첨가한 스테인리스강을 제조하여 PWR 원전환경에서의 피로균열성장특성을 평가하였다. 실험에 사용된 재료는 PWR 원전 가압기 밀림관 소재인 Type 347 스테인리스강에 0.0005 wt%가 첨가된 상용재와 0.11 wt% 질소가 첨가된 재료이다. 사용된 시편형상은 두께 5 mm, 폭 25.4 mm의 CT 시편이다. 수화학환경은 150기압, 온도 $316^{\circ}C$, 용존산소(DO) 5ppb, 용존수소(DH) 30 cc/Kg, pH는 약 7로 유지 하였으며, 응력비 0.1, 하중 반복속도 10Hz의 기계적 조건에서 하중제어로 시험을 진행하였다. 균열길이는 직류전위차법(Direct Current Potential Drop: DCPD)을 이용하여 측정하였다. 질소함량이 증가할수록 동일 사이클에서 균열길이가 늦게 성장하였고, 피로균열성장속도도 약간 늦어지는 것으로 나타났다. 각 스테인리스강의 피로파면 관찰결과 상용재는 약 1 ${\mu}m$의 산화물들이 생성되는 반면 질소첨가 스테인리스강은 약 0.1 ${\mu}m$정도 산화물이 생성되었다. 산화막의 두께도 질소가 첨가됨으로써 상용재에 비해 얇게 생성되었다. 따라서 질소가 첨가됨으로써 부식환경에서 내산화성이 향상되었으며, 이는 피로균열성장특성에 영향을 미치는 것으로 판단된다.

The present study investigated hydration of alkali activated slag incorporating sulfate as a form of anhydrite by employing thermodynamic modeling using the Gibbs free energy minimization approach. Various parameters were evaluated in the thermodynamic calculations, such as presence of sulfide, precipitation/dissolution of AFt/AFm phase, and the effect of oxic condition on the predicted reaction. The calculations suggested no significant difference in the void volume and chemical shrinkage, which might influence the performance of the mixtures, in spite of various changes of the parameters. Although the types of hydration products and their amount varied according to the input conditions, their variations were smaller range than that induced by water-to-binder ratio. Moreover, it did not affect the amount of C-(N-)A-S-H which was the most important hydration product.

This study was performed to get information of self-healing mechanism in cement system and the influence of waterproofing admixtures for concrete on self-healing property. For testing, cement paste specimens cured for 7, 14 and 28 days were prepared and crushed into plate-shape pieces. Screened specimens with thickness not more than 1mm were covered with wet rags and cured in a plastic container for 7 and 28 days. After stopping hydration process of the specimens by treatment with acetone, the surfaces of specimens have been contacted with wet rags were analyzed by XRD, DSC, SEM and EDX. The analysis results showed that cement paste has self-healing property and this property is mainly affected by water. Self-healing in cement system is more effective and faster at an early stage of hydration as there is enough content of unreacted cement to make an additional hydration in this period. The results of this study also showed that waterproofing admixtures for concrete have a considerable effect on self-healing of cement pastes; i.e., they improved self-healing effect of cement and, especially, the specimen using admixture C has shown a lot of needle-like or fibrous hydration products which are estimated as ettringite. It is supposed that these ettringite products are effective to enhance self-healing in cement system.

High temperature - high pressure apparatus was developed to simulate nickel fewite corrosion products which were main compositions of the radioactive crud in the nuclear power plant. Corrosion product similar to the crud was obtained by a tube accumulator system. Nickel alloy (Inconel 690) and carbon steel (SA106 Gr. C) were corroded at 270 $\^{circ}C$ in the corrosion product generator. Ni ions and Fe ions dissolved by corrosion reaction were able to be transported to the accumulator because the crud generation mechanism was the solubility change with temperature. To evaluate the properties of simulated corrosion products, scanning electron microscope (SEM) observation and EDAX analysis were performed. SEM observation of corrosion product showed the needlelike or crystal structure of oxide depending on precipitating location. The crystal oxide was the nickel ferrite, which was similar to the crud in nuclear power plants.

A hydrophobic emulsion consisting of PMHS and PVA was mixed into a cement mortar to observe changes in cement hydrate and microstructure, and to experimentally evaluate compressive strength and flexural strength. The hydrophobic emulsion was added with metakaolin and PVA fibers, and the stirring speed and sequence were adjusted to prepare a shell-concept hydrophobic emulsion. It was then mixed when mixing mortar to enhance filling of the internal pores and change of the hydrates. It was observed that the mortar mixed with a hydrophobic emulsion was filled with micropores and a coating film was formed on the surface of the hydrates by the emulsion. It was analyzed that the total pore area and porosity of the mortar mixed with the emulsion decreased from 30% to 60% compared to OPC, excluding the 50MK variable, which was extremely reduced and the median pore diameter decreased in some variables. It was also found that the compressive strength of the mortar mixed with emulsion 1% was increased up to 20%, but the strength of the mortar specimen mixed with 2% decreased to 50%.

The thermal decomposition mechanism of BaTiO($$C_2$$O_4$)_2$ $4H_2$O has been investigated employing TG, DTG, and DTA techniques. The intermediate compounds and the gaseous products of decomposition were examined by IR spectrometer and X-ray analyser. The decomposition proceeds through five steps. The first step which is the dehydration of the tetrahydrate is followed by the decomposition of oxalate groups. During the second decomposition, half a mole of carbon monoxide is evolved. The oxalate groups are completely destroyed in the range $260~460^{\circ}C$, resulting in the formation of a carbonate which retains free carbon dioxide in the matrix . the final decomposition of the carbonate takes place between $650~750^{\circ}C$ and yields $BaTiO_3$.

The durability of concrete and the water-tightness properties of cementitous material are closely relation. So, water-tightness materials as natural minerals, organic fatty acid, organic fatty salts inorganic materials use for improvement of concrete durability. But these materials are somehow different in water-tightness mechanism. In this study, we studied on hydration properties and water-tightness properties of cementitous materials with zinc-stearate, a kind of organic fatty acid salts.

Paper industry discharges many by-products and quantity of PSA (Paper sludge ash) has been increased. In this study, hydration water was added to PSA for use as cement admixture. PSA with added water was mixed with anhydrite and this mixture was used as cement substitute. Physical properties of PSA cement were changed by contents of PSA, but PSA cement containing PSA less than 10% had similar properties to those of OPC. Compressive strength of PSA cement mortar had a certain relationship with $Ca(OH)_2$ content. Compressive strength at 3 days increased, as $Ca(OH)_2$ content increased. However, the strength at 28 days increased, as $Ca(OH)_2$ content decreased.
