경·중수로 연계 핵연료 주기 (Direct Use of Spent PWR Fuel in CANDU : DUPIC ) 기술개발의 핵물질 보장조치(Safeguards)는 경수로 사용후 핵연료를 중수로에 재 활용하기 위한 DUPIC 공정에 대한 최적 보장조치 시스템을 구축하여, 국제 원자력 기구(IAEA) 및 국제 원자력 사회에서 핵 투명성확보 및 신뢰도를 향상시키는 것을 기술개발의 목적으로 하고 있다. DUPIC 공정은 고립된 차폐시설내의 고준위 방사선장 하에서 가동되므로 타 시설에 비해 핵 물질 전용 가능성은 희박하지만, 전 공정이 원격제어 되야 하고, 조업조건이 정복해야 하므로 기존의 보장조치 기술보다 더욱 발전된 계량관리시스템, 측정시스템 및 감시시스템 등을 개발하여야 한다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 각 항목에 대한 요소 분석 및 각 항목별 향후 연구방향에 대해 분석하였다. DUPIC 공정 전반에 대한 핵물질 계량관리를 위해 물질수지구역 (Material Balance Area : MBA) 및 주요측정 지점 (Key Measurement Point : KMP )을 설정하여 각 측정지점별 측정방법 및 재고검증(Inventory Verification) 방법을 분석하였다. 최적 측정시스템을 개발하기 위해 적용 가능한 비파괴분석 방법들을 분석한 결과, 핵분열성 물질 함량을 정량적으로 측정할 수 있는 수동적 중성자 측정법이 가장 적합하다는 결론을 얻었다. 또한, 감시시스템을 개발하기 위해 전용전략의 주요 요소 및 전용경로 등을 분석하였으며, 핵물질 및 시설에 대한 물리적 방호체제를 DUPIC시설에 적용하기 위하여 물리적 방호에 필요한 방호체제 요소를 분석하여 DUPIC 시설을 위한 가상적인 방호체제를 구축하였다.

More strict radioactive regulations are applied to Korean nuclear power plants (NPPs) since ICRP-60 recommendation for radiation protection and has been enforced since 2003. In particular. carbon-14 and tritium concentrations are significantly higher at CANDU reactors compared to PWR reactors and this increases the risk of internal radiation exposure to workers at CANDU NPPs. Thus, it is necessary to estimate the exact amount of internal radiation exposure to workers fur radiological protection at CANDU reactors. In this paper, the current dosimetry method for carbon-14 is analyzed for the establishment of internal dosimetry for carbon-14 at domestic NPPs.

Experimental results are presented for the degradation of 3 nm-thick gate oxide under -2.5V $\leq$ V$_{g}$ $\leq$-4.0V stress and 10$0^{\circ}C$ conditions using P and NMOSFETs that are annealed with hydrogen or deuterium gas at high-pressure (5 atm). The degradation mechanisms are highly dependent on stress conditions. For low gate voltage, hole-trapping is found to dominate the reliability of gate oxide both in P and NMOSFETs. With increasing gate voltage to V$_{g}$ =-4.0V, the degradation becomes dominated by electron-trapping in NMOSFETs, however, the generation rate of "hot" hole was very low, because most of tunneling electrons experienced the phonon scattering before impact ionization at the Si interface. Statistical parameter variations as well as the gate leakage current depend on and are improved by high-pressure deuterium annealing, compared to corresponding hydrogen annealing. We therefore suggest that deuterium is effective in suppressing the generation of traps within the gate oxide. Our results therefore prove that hydrogen related processes are at the origin of the investigated oxide degradation.gradation.

The radioactive effluents from pressurized heavy water reactors (PHWRs) are relatively larger than those from pressurized water reactors (PWRs). Futhermore, radioactive effluents from PHWRs are released continuously. Thus, the discharge of radioactive effluents is strictly controlled. To do this, radiation detectors are installed at stacks of reactor buildings to monitor the concentration of radioactive effluents in real-time. Derived release limits (DRLs) of annual discharge are also set up for each radionuclide and effluents are rigidly controlled not to exceed those limits. In this paper, the discharge process of radioactive effluents, the standard for establishment of DRL and its methodology, and currents status for PHWRs were reviewed.

This study investigated effects of water content in leaf, leaf acidity, bark acidity and water soluble sulfur contents by vehicle. The results were as follows: The average water content in Pinus Koraiensis leaves at Cheongpyoung and Chuncheon were 49% and 51 % respectively. The average leaf acidity and bark acidity at Cheongpyoung and Chuncheon were respectively pH 4.8 and pH 4.9 in leaf, pH 5.3 and 5.4 bark. The average water soluble sulfur content in leaves showed a significant difference between Cheongpyoung and Chuncheon of 0.133% and 0.053% respectively.

A pressurized heavy water reactor (PHWR) designed to refuel in service produces the energy required by nuclear fission. The fuel channel consists of components such as a pressure tube which directly contacts the fuel and is a passage for the reactor coolant, a calandria tube which contacts the moderator and is rolled joint with calandria, and a spacer which is not to contact the pressure tube and a calandria tube. As the fuel channel is one of the most important equipments, it requires accurate and periodic inspections to assess the integrity of a reactor in accordance with CSA N285.4. A fuel channel inspection system is developed to inspect fuel channels during in-service inspection in Wolsong unit. In this paper, the results and considerations of a field test are presented in order to show the effectiveness of the developed fuel channel inspection system.

This study analyzed the longitudinal trajectories of father's depression and the changes of relevant parenting practice in fathers' as well as the problematic behaviors and school adaptation of their children. To address these goals, the data from 1,172 samples from the 4th to 8th Korean Children and Youth Panel Survey (KCYPS) was analyzed. The results of this study indicated that the fathers' depressive levels are classified into three latent groups: 1) the high-changing group, 2) the middle-low changing group, and 3) the low-low changing group. The results also revealed that the fathers within the low-low changing group practiced more authoritative but permissive parenting than the fathers in the two other groups. Children from high-changing group showed more problematic behaviors than the children of the two other groups. In addition, the children from the low-low changing group reported higher school adjustment such as academic achievements, and relationships with peers and teachers. Based on these findings, the study discusses the implications for social work practice and further studies.

이론적으로 하천의 흐름은 시간과 위치에 따라 수위와 유량의 관계가 일대일로 대응한다는 가정을 두지만, 실제 하천은 여러 가지 통제요인에 의해 다양하게 변화한다. 특히 하천 상 하류 일부구간에서 인공적인 골재채취나 준설작업과 같은 하도공사가 이루어진다면 하천의 흐름은 일시적인 수위변화가 아닌 단면의 변화 나아가 수위에 따른 유량의 증가 및 감소를 일으키게 된다. 또한 모래하상이나 식생의 영향을 받는 하천의 경우에도 빈번한 단면 및 유속의 변화를 볼 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 2007년부터 2011년까지 유량조사사업단에서 측정이 이루어진 4개 수계 577개 지점을 대상지점으로 선정하고, 이들 중 2개년 이상 측정이 이루어져 단면변화 및 지점의 수리특성 여부를 비교할 수 있는 한강 55개, 낙동강 49개, 금강 43개, 영산강 55개 지점의 수위-유량관계 변화여부를 검토하였다. 본 연구는 경년변화 없이 일정한 수위-유량관계를 보이거나 보와 같은 단면 통제에 의해 단순한 기간분리가 발생되는 지점, 4대강 공사가 진행 중인 지점, 미미한 단면변화에 의해 저수위의 수위-유량관계가 변화된 지점들은 분석 대상에서 제외하고, 중수위 이상에서 수위와 유량의 관계가 변화하는 지점들을 찾아 그 원인을 파악하고 사례를 분석하는데 중점을 두었다. 검토 결과 중수위 이상에서 수위-유량관계가 변화되는 요인으로 크게 상류와 하류에서 하천준설을 실시하여 수위에 따른 에너지선의 증가 및 감소를 일으킨 경우와, 제방공사에 의해 고수위가 변화가 발생되었거나 그 해에 배수영향을 받았는지 여부 또는 하도에 자생하는 식생의 영향 그리고 모래 및 자갈하천에서 발생되는 큰 단면변화 등으로 나타났다.

This study investigated how latent groups depend on the longitudinal trajectories observed in fathers' involvement in parenting over a five year period, and the study also determined differences in children's behavioral problems and mother's parenting stress, marital satisfaction, and depression among these groups. By utilizing 1,316 sets of data from 1st to 5th Panel Survey of PSKC beginning in 2008, we examined the patterns of the latent groups and the differences among them. The results showed that, first, a changing pattern of fathers' involvement in parenting is classified into four groups: a low-stable group, a decreasing group. a middle-high changeable group, and a highest changeable group. According to the results of the latent groups, the fathers' involvement in parenting commonly started to decrease at the children's age of 4 years old. Second, problematic behaviors of children appeared more from the fathers in the decreasing group. Third, parenting stress, marital conflict, and depression were more often found in the low-stable group that in the decreasing group. the middle-high changeable group and the highest changeable group (in that order), while marital satisfaction showed a completely opposite pattern. Based on these results, political intervention and the future direction of research for fathers' involvement in parenting are needed in order to increase better behaviors of their children as well as the psychological well-being of their mothers.
