지속가능발전은 인류가 추구해야할 공통의 목적이며 가치로서 사회적 지속가능성, 경제적 지속 가능성, 환경적 지속가능성의 개념이 내포되어 있다. 본 연구에서는 우리나라의 전력공급 부문에서 특히 사회적 지속가능성의 가치를 구현하기 위해서는 에너지 사용에 대한 형평성과 에너지를 생산하는 발전기술에 대한 사회적 수용성, 그리고 지속적으로 고용을 창출할 수 있는 발전기술들로 발전원을 구성되는 것이 필요하다고 보았다. 이를 위해 본 연구는 사회적 지속가능성을 '에너지복지', '기술의 수용성', '고용 창출'등 3가지 핵심 속성으로 나누고 속성 당 2개의 세부 속성 지표를 구성하여 총 6개의 속성지표 측면에서 발전기술별로 비교 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 사회적 지속가능성 종합점수는 원자력 > 풍력 > LNG > 석탄 > 태양광 순으로 나타나 원자력이 사회지속성 측면에서 가장 우수한 발전기술인 반면에 태양광은 가장 열위에 있는 것으로 평가되었다. 또한 속성별로 살펴보면, '에너지사용의 복지성'은 원자력과 석탄화력이, '에너지사용의 접근성'은 LNG와 석탄이, '기술의 안전성'은 원자력과 풍력이, '기술의 신뢰성'은 발전기술간 큰 차이가 없으며, '고용 규모'는 태양광과 원자력이, '고용의 질'은 풍력과 원자력이 우수한 것으로 나타나 원자력이 대부분의 속성에서 우위에 있거나 경쟁력이 있는 것으로 나타났다.

Nuclear power plants(NPP) are constructed and operated to ensure safety against natural disasters and man-made disasters in all processes including site selection, site survey, design, construction, and operation. This paper will introduce a series of efforts conducted in Korea Hydro and Nuclear Power Co. Ltd., to assure the safety of nuclear power plant against earthquakes and other natural hazards. In particular, the present status of the earthquake, fault, and slope safety monitoring system for nuclear power plants is introduced. A earthquake observatory network for the NPP sites has been built up for nuclear safety and providing adequate seismic design standards for NPP sites by monitoring seismicity in and around NPPs since 1999. The Eupcheon Fault Monitoring System, composed of a strainmeter, seismometer, creepmeter, Global Positioning System, and groundwater meter, was installed to assess the safety of the Wolsung Nuclear Power Plant against earthquakes by monitoring the short- and long-term behavioral characteristics of the Eupcheon fault. Through the analysis of measured data, it was verified that the Eupcheon fault is a relatively stable fault that is not affected by earthquakes occurring around the southeastern part of the Korean peninsula. In addition, it was confirmed that the fault monitoring system could be very useful for seismic safety analysis and earthquake prediction study on the fault. K-SLOPE System for systematic slope monitoring was successfully developed for monitoring of the slope at nuclear power plants. Several kinds of monitoring devices including an inclinometer, tiltmeter, tension-wire, and precipitation gauge were installed on the NPP slope. A macro deformation analysis using terrestrial LiDAR (Light Detection And Ranging) was performed for overall slope deformation evaluation.

Mountain side ditch is constructed at the top of cutting slopes around road and it drains the surface water that flowed from upper part. Mountain side ditch is constructed to keep away the influx of the surface water into cutting faces. However, if Mountain side ditch is constructed on the top of cutting slopes, it is cause of trouble. For example, difficulty of quality control and lack of drainage faculty. Therefore, the faculty and establishment propriety of mountain side ditch are evaluated seriously, according to the condition of ground, topography and rainfall in this paper. Results from the study for the numerical analysis of effect of mountain side ditch indicate that safety factor is enlarged about 3% at rainfall.

Unlike water or air quality standards that have been established by legislation using potential human health impact as the primary criterion, soil quality depends on the soils primary function and its relevant environmental factors, which is much more site- and soil specific. A properly characterized soil quality assessment system should serve as an indicator of the soil capacity to produce safe and nutritious food, to enhance human and animal health, and to overcome degrative processes. For our proposed example, a high quality soil with regard to maintaining an adequate soil productivity as a food production resources must accommodate soil and water properties, food chain, sustainability and utilization, environment, and profitability, that (i) facilitate water transfer and absorption, (ii) sustain plant growth, (iii) resist physical degradation of soil, (iv) produce a safe food resources, (v) cost-effective agricultural management. Possible soil quality indicators are identified at several levels within the framework for each of these functions. Each indicator is assigned a priority or weight that reflects its relative importance using a multi-objective approach based on principles of systems to be considered. To do this, individual scoring system is differentiated by the several levels from low to very high category or point scoring ranging from 0 to 10, And then weights are multiplied and products are summed to provide an overall soil quality rating based on several physical and chemical indicators. Tlne framework and procedure in developing the soil quality assessment are determined by using information collected from an alternative and conventional farm practices in the regions. The use of an expanded framework for assessing effects of other processes, management practices, or policy issues on soil quality is also considered. To develop one possible form for a soil quality index, we should permit coupling the soil characteristics with assessment system based on soil properties and incoming and resident chemicals. The purpose of this paper is to discuss approaches to defining and assessing soil quality and to suggest the factors to be considered.

하천의 제방은 홍수 시, 유수를 원활하게 소통시키고, 제내지를 보호하기 위해 하천을 따라 축조한 시설이다. 이러한 제방의 설계에는 제방의 재료에 대한 기준뿐만 아니라 수리/수문학적 요소, 지반공학적 요소, 구조적 요소들이 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 제방의 설계 요소 가운데 수리/수문학적 요소의 하나인 월류에 대한 기준을 검토하였다. 우리나라는 제방의 설계 시, 월류에 대한 안전성 확보를 위해 여유고를 설정하고 있는데, 여유고의 기준은 계획홍수량의 규모에 따라 결정되어 있다. 반면에 미국은 제방 월류에 대한 안전성 평가 지표로서 여유고와 위험도 개념의 조건부 비 초과 확률(conditional nonexceedance probability; CNP)을 사용하고 있다. 조건부 비 초과 확률이란, 주어진 홍수의 정도 아래에서 목표 수위(target stage)가 초과되지 않을 확률이다. 본 연구에서는 국내에서 기 수립된 실제 하천의 제방고와 조건부 비 초과 확률, 여유고가 고려된 미국의 기준을 적용하여 도출된 제방 소요 높이에 근거하여 국내 기준의 적절성을 검토하였다.

This study was conducted to investigate the electrolyte metabolic responses to a 100 km ultra-marathon in 22 male amateur runners. Their average age was $50.91{\pm}4.77$ years old and their $VO_2max$ value was $48.19{\pm}6.4 mL/kg/min$. The participants completed the race with a mean finishing time of $205.55{\pm}19.61$ minute. Electrolyte parameters based on blood tests including calcium, inorganic phosphorus, magnesium, sodium, potassium, chloride, total carbon dioxide, anion gap, plasma volume change and osmolality were measured pre-race, at 50 km, and at 100 km (post-race). Only slight changes in sodium level with no cases of hypernatremia or hyponatremia were observed. Additionally, all the electrolyte parameters changes were within the normal range and plasma volumes were unchanged. Overall, amateur marathon runners are not at risk to develop clinically significant electrolyte or osmolality changes during a 100 km ultra-marathon.

전 세계적으로 홍수의 발생빈도가 증가함에 따라, 하천 내 홍수피해를 경감하기 위해 설치하는 하천시설에 대한 중요성이 강조되고 있다. 하천시설은 홍수조절, 이수를 위한 흐름의 제어와 유도, 자연환경의 유지 및 개선 등 중요한 역할을 하고 있으나, 구조적으로 물과의 접촉이 많아 물리적 손상이나 노후화가 매우 빠르게 진행되는 특성이 있다. 시설물의 노후화가 지속될수록 안정성을 보장하기 어려워 자연재난의 규모를 증가시킬 위험성이 있다. 하천시설의 선제적 유지관리를 위해, 본 연구에서는 시설물통합정보관리시스템(Facilty Management System; FMS)의 정밀안전진단 결과를 활용하여 시설물의 사용연수에 따른 성능지표의 변화를 기반으로 회귀식 형태의 성능평가모델을 개발하였다. 기존연구와의 비교를 통해 성능평가모델의 적합성을 확인하였으며, 개발한 성능평가모델은 하천시설의 생애주기를 통합적으로 고려함으로써 정량적인 상태를 예측할 수 있다는 장점이 있다. 본 연구에서 제안된 성능평가모델 결과는 하천시설의 생애주기 관리를 위한 기초자료로 활용 가능할 것으로 기대된다.
