In this paper, a complementary analysis for the structural safety evaluation of the spent nuclear fuel disposal canister developed for the Canadian Deuterium and Uranium(CANDU) reactor for about 10,000 years long term deposition at a 500m deep granitic bedrock repository has been performed. However this developed structural model of the spent nuclear fuel disposal canister which has 33 spent nuclear fuel baskets and whose diameter is 122cm is too heavy to handle without any structural safety problem. Hence a lighter structural model of the spent nuclear fuel disposal canister which is easy to handle has been required to develop very much. There are two methods to reduce the weight of the CANDU canister model. The one is to alleviate severe design conditions such as external loads and safety factor. The other is to optimize the cross section shape of the canister by reducing the spent nuclear fuel basket number. Hence, in this paper a complementary analysis to alleviate such severe design conditions is carried out and simultaneously structural analyses to optimize the cross section shape of the canister by reducing the spent nuclear fuel basket number below 33 are carried out by varying the external load and the canister diameter for the reduction of the canister weight. The complementary analysis results show that the diameter of canister can be shortened below 122cm to reduce the weight of the spent nuclear fuel disposal canister.

Water shortage is becoming a serious problem of turfgrass management on sand green. Many superintendents in golf course in Korea have interested in use of irrigation of recycled water for turfgrass water management. This study was conducted to investigate the effect of greywater as an irrigation source on the growth and quality of creeping bentgrass green. Turfgrass was irrigated with tap water (TW) and greywater (GW), under with or without compound fertilizer application (nonfertilizer + TW, N-TW; non-fertilizer + GW, N-GW; fertilizer + TW, F-TW; fertilizer + GW, F-GW). The chemical properties of the green sand soil were not changed by irrigation. Turf color index, chlorophyll index, root length, clipping yield and nutrient uptake of GW treatment were similar to TW treatment. The growth and quality of turfgrass were more likely related with the fertilizer application than irrigation source or quality. These results indicated that GW could be used as alternative irrigation source on the sand greens of golf courses.

우리나라에서는 최근 이상기후로 인해 평균 기온이 높아지고, 여름철에 집중된 강우 특성으로 인하여 하천의 하도와 하도내 식생영향에 따른 수위-유량관계곡선식의 변동성이 높아지고 있다. 하도 내 식생과 하천의 흐름은 서로 영향을 주기 때문에 하도내 식생은 하천 흐름 특성에 핵심적인 요소로 볼 수 있다. 하도의 변동성은 단면 측량 등으로 확인 할 수 있으나, 하도내 식생은 주변 환경에 따라 매년 다르게 나타나기 때문에 이에 대한 모니터링이 필수적이다. 본 연구에서는 만경강 유역에 위치한 전주시(서천교)관측소를 대상으로 2017년~2018년, 2020년의 하도 내 수중식생과 하안 영역의 식생 성장과 소멸 및 식생사주의 모니터링 결과를 바탕으로 수위-유량관계 변화를 분석하였다. 2017년은 하도 내 식생의 성장과 소멸에 따라 저수위 구간에서 다수의 기간분리가 발생하였으며, 중수위 구간은 기간분리가 발생하지 않은 것으로 분석되었다. 2018년과 2020년은 하도 내 수중식생의 성장과 소멸로 인항 저수위 기간분리 이외의 하안영역의 식생 성장과 소멸에 따른 통수능 변동으로 인하여 중수위 기간분리가 추가로 발생하였고, 식생사주에 대한 지속적인 모니터링을 통하여 중수위 구간분리를 추가 검토하였다. 결과적으로 본 연구에서는 하도 내의 식생영향에 따른 유량측정성과를 확보하였으며 확보한 유량측정성 통한 신뢰도 높은 수위-유량관계곡선식을 개발하였고 이를 통해 생산된 유량자료는 정확도가 매우 높은 것으로 분석되었다.

This study is related to the developing method of a transparent sunscreen cosmetic which has waterproofing property and no white turbidity when applied to skin. The transparent sunscreen is prepared by exploiting refractive index difference between oil-phase and water-phase of water-in-oil(W/O) emulsion. The sunscreen according to this study is prepared as a W/O type emulsion so that it is water-stable and water resistance. Also, the stability of W/O type emulsion is developed by adjusting the content of oil phase part and water phase part. As a result of this studying, the transparent W/O emulsion is prepared by adjusting the refractive index of oil-phase and water-phase within 0.004 and it is found that the stability of the transparent sunscreen is increasing when the water phase part is over 75% (w/w) of the W/O emulsion. Through clinical test of transparent sunscreen, the value of sun protection Factor(SPF) and Protection Factor of UVA(PFA) were determined. SPF and PFA values of transparent sunscreen were indicated $30.99{\pm}1.65$ and $3.01{\pm}0.30$.

In this paper, we propose a optimization approach for the Electric Locomotive Overhaul Maintenance Facility (ELOMF), which aims at the simulation optimization so as to meet the design specification. In simulation design, we consider the critical path and sensitivity analysis of the critical (dependent) factors and the design (independent) parameters for the parameter selection and reduction of the metamodel. Therefore, we construct the multi-objective non-linear programming. The objective function is normalized for the generalization of design parameter while the constraints are composed of the simulation-based regression metamodel for the critical factors and design factor's domain. Then the effective solution procedure based on the pareto optimal solution set is proposed. This approach provides a comprehensive approach for the optimization of Train Overhaul Maintenance Facility(TOMF)'s design parameters using the simulation and metamoels.

This paper presents the optimal design and analysis method of the train overhaul maintenance facility based on the simulation. Because the train is composed of a coach or more, we design the simulation model after analyzing the operation of train into train, coach, coach's body parts and wheel parts and soon. In simulation analysis, we consider the critical (dependent) factors and design (independent) parameters for the selection of alternatives and optimal design. Therefore, Multi Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) is proposed for the selection of alternatives and optimal method in order to find the optimal design factors. The case study for the above approach is used for the electronic locomotive overhaul maintenance facility. This paper provides a comprehensive framework for the train overhaul maintenance facility design using the simulation, MCDM and optimal methods. Therefore, the method developed for this research can be adopted for other enhancements in different but comparable situation.

방사성 $\beta$핵종 중의 하나인 $^{14}$ C은 중수로에서 상대적으로 많이 방출된다. 본 연구에서는 국내 유일의 중수로 원전인 월성 원자력발전소에서 배기구를 통해 환경으로 방출된 $^{14}$ C을 감시하기 위한 두 가지 타입의 대기시료 포집기술을 개발하였다. 하나는 전원을 이용하는 능동시료포집법(active air sampling)이며, 다른 하나는 전원을 사용하지 않는 수동시료포집법(passive air sampling)이다. 시료분석의 재현성 측면에서는 능동시료포집법이 보다 나은 것으로 알려져 있으나 시료채취 장소의 제한성 등으로 인해 최근에 들어와 수동시료포집법의 사용을 선호하고 있다. 본 연구를 통해 두가지 시료 채취법에 대한 측정오차의 신뢰성을 검증하기 위해 동위원소 분별효과를 비교 평가해 본 결과, 측정상의 오차가 약 2% 정도로 나타나 시료채취가 간단한 수동시료포집법의 사용타당성 및 활용 가능성을 입증하였다.

This study focused on the availability of wastewater reclamation and reusing system as one of the alternatives against the global water shortage in near future, which system is composed of two treatment steps; first, wastewater is injected into upflow $A^2O$ biofilm process(anaerobic/anoxic/oxic) reactor filled with polyethylene fixed-media, and the effluent of 1st steps continuously passed through downflow nano silver sand filter. The pH of the effluent ranged from 7.39 to 8.06(average 7.84), the $COD_{Mn}$ was $8{\sim}18mg/L$(average 12.1 mg/L), and $BOD_5$ was $2.1{\sim}10.0mg/L$(average 4.9 mg/L), that met all the wastewater reclamation and reusing system criteria. Besides, the SS concentrations of the effluent which was $3{\sim}9mg/L$(average 4.95 mg/L) met the criteria(5 mg/L), showing 94.8% of average removal efficiency. The 99.1% of the average removal efficiency of the E-coliform did not met the criteria(Not detected), which indicates the needs for the following chlorine disinfection treatment with the residual chlorine concentration of above 0.2 mg/L. There are no bacteria on the sand surface coated by nano silver. The removal efficiency of T-N and T-P that could be included into the criteria in the future was 50.3% and 27.2% respectively.

Purpose: Favorable results have been reported after the direct repair of chronic ulnar collateral ligament ruptures of the thumb metacarpophalangeal (MP) joint, but the results for radial ligament seem rather controversial. The purpose of this study is to compare the results of ligament reattachment between chronic rupture of the ulnar and the radial collateral ligament (RCL) of the joint. Methods: We reviewed retrospectively the radiologic and clinical results of ligament reattachment with suture anchors for chronic (more than 6 weeks) rupture of the collateral ligament of the thumb MP joint with averaged 22-month follow-up. The data between 6 radial and 8 ulnar ligament repairs were compared statistically. Results: The average of postoperative ulnar deviation angle was $13.3^{\circ}$ in radial ligament and $2.0^{\circ}$ in ulnar ligament (p=0.020) in the last follow-up plain X-ray. Postoperative ligament instability was positive in 4 out of the 6 radial repairs and no case with instability was observed in ulnar ligament. In postoperative follow-up, sustained joint subluxation was observed only in 2 out of the 6 radial repairs. Conclusion: The delayed repair of the RCL of the thumb MP joint resulted in less favorable outcomes and ligament instability was observed postoperatively in more than half of the cases.

The radioactive Carbon, C-14, although present in small amount, emits a high energy(up to 0.156MeV) $\beta$ ray and has extremely long half-life(5730years). So special monitoring and management on its generation and discharge is inevitable. A PHWR, due to its own specific designs generates about six times as much C-14 as a PWR does and over 90% of the discharged C-14 comes from the Moderator system and discharged in to the environment through the process of periodic purging of the moderator cover gas system. The present study focussed on the development of effective C-14 scrubber and after production of a test facility and experiments using it, we found that our test facility is very efficient in $CO_2$ removal.
