In general, high-level radioactive waste (HLW) generated as a result of nuclear power generation should be disposed within the country. Determination of the disposal site and host rock for HLW deep geological repository is an important issue not only scientifically but also politically, economically, and socially. Considered host rock types worldwide for geological disposal include crystalline rocks, sedimentary rocks, volcanic rocks, and salt dome. However, South Korea consists of various rock types except salt dome. This paper not only analyzed the geological and rock mechanical characteristics on a nationwide scale with the preliminary results on various rock type studies for the disposal host rock, but also reviewed the characteristics and possibility of various rock types as a host rock through deep drilling surveys. Based on the nationwide screening for host rock types resulted from literature review, rock distributions, and detailed case studies, Jurassic granites and Cretaceous sedimentary rocks (Jinju and Jindong formations) were derived as a possible candidate host rock types for the geological disposal. However, since the analyzed data for candidate rock types from this study is not enough, it is suggested that the disposal rock type should be carefully determined from additional and detailed analysis on disposal depth, regional characteristics, multidisciplinary investigations, etc.

국내 절개면은 대개 절개면의 구성물질에 패한 지질공학적인 특성과 구성물질내의 지질구조 등에 대한 충분한 고려가 수행되지 않은 상태에서 구성물질의 강도에만 의존하여 설계·시공되었다. 따라서 매년 강우기와 해빙기에 반복적인 붕괴사고가 발생하고 있으며 이로 인한 인명피해와 재산손실이 매년 발생하고 있다. 따라서 절개면의 붕괴를 방지할 수 있는 근본적인 대책안의 제시와 함께 절개면에서 발생하는 붕괴를 예방하고 붕괴특성 및 붕괴 원인 규명을 위한 기초 연구로서 국내의 절개면에 대한 지질공학적인 특성 연구가 절실한 실정이다. 본 연구는 2001년 한국건설기술연구원에서 수행한 362개소의 절개면을 대상으로 절개면의 구성물질 및 지질구조에 대한 지질공학적 특성을 분석하였다. 본 연구는 국내에 분포하는 절개면의 붕괴 특성과 붕괴 인자에 대한 기초 연구로 차후 국내 절개면에 대한 설계기준을 재정립하고 절개면에 대한 효율적인 관리를 수행하기 위한 기초 자료로 사용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Deep geological cross-sectional data is generally not common nor easy to construct, because it is expensive and requires a great deal of time. As a result, geological interpretations at depth are limited. Many scientists attempt to construct geological cross-sections at depth using geological surface data and geophysical data. In this paper, we suggest a method for constructing cross-sections from limited geological surface data in a target area. The reason for this study is to construct and interpret geological cros-sections at depth to evaluate heat flow anomaly along the Yangsan fault. The Yangsan Fault passes through the south-eastern part of the Korean Peninsula. The cross-section is constructed from Sangbukmyeon to Unchonmyeon passing perpendicularly through the Yangsan Fault System trending NW-SE direction. The geological cross-section is constructed using the following data: (1) Lithologic distributions and main structural elements. (2) Extensity of sedimentary rock and igneous rock, from field mapping. (3) Fault dimension calculated based on geometry of exposed surface rupture, and (4) Seismic and core logging data. The Yangsan Fault System is composed of the Jain fault, Milyang fault, Moryang fault, Yangsan fault, Dongnae fault, and Ingwang fault which strike NNE-SSW. According to field observation, the western section of the Yangsan fault bounded by igneous rocks and in the eastern section sedimentary rocks are dominant. Using surface fault length we infer that the Yangsan Fault System has developed to a depth of kilometers beneath the surface. According to seismic data, sedimentary rocks that are adjacent to the Yangsan fault are thin and getting thicker towards the east of the section. In this study we also suggest a new method to recognize faults using core loggings. This analysis could be used to estimate fault locations at different scales.

The compositions of lipid class and fatty acid of free lipids as non-starch lipid and bound lipids(extraction either at low or high temperature) as starch-lipid extracted from starch in mung bean(phaseolus radiatus L) was investigated. The contents of neutral lipids glycolipids and phospholipids in free lipids were 98.2% 1.7% and 0.1%, whereas those found in bound lipids were 84.3-85.7% 10.5-11.0%, and 5.2-3.3% respectively The major components of neutral lipid fraction in the bound lipids were triglyceride and esterified sterol and those were composed of 0% of total neutral lipids. Monogalactosyl idiglyceride and esteryl steryl glycoside were observed as main glycolipids components in both free and bound lipids. Among the phospholipids in the bound lipids phosphatidylinositol phosphatidyl serine and phosphati-dyl ethanolamine were identified an major constituents. The free lipids contained palmitic(50.2%) stearic(20.6%) oleic(8.5%) and behenic(7.4%) acids and bound lipids had more palmi-tic and linoleic acids but less stearic acid compared to thosed in the free lipids.

The outputs from the fundamental research program of the Korea Institute of Geoscience and Mineral Resources (KIGAM) were analyzed using the research budget and manpower as input variables. The analysis was performed based on the research outputs of the past 3 years (FY2004 to 2006). More articles and patents came out in applied and development research areas among the geosciences fields. The statistical analysis indicates that each sub-field has different characteristics in research outputs. Research articles, patents, and research budget increase as the manpower increase. But research articles and patents do not always show positive relations to research budget.

To improve the carbon recovery yield of chemical pretreatment in soil and sediment for $^{14}C$ age dating using AMS (Accelerator Mass Spectrometry), we have developed ultrasonic method in chemical pretreatment to replace with stirring method which has been generally used in each step of humic acid extraction for soil and sediment samples. Extraction conditions such as ultrasonic power, temperature and reaction time have been optimized. Six times higher carbon recovery yield could be obtained from low carbon content samples using ultrasonic method. We also compared the dating results by AMS obtained using ultrasonic method with the ages of samples treated by the stirring method. It was found that this new method could be applied to the pretreatment process of low carbon content samples for AMS age dating without effects on the dated ages, and with highly improved carbon recovery yields.

Based on reaction time and substrate molar ratio, structured lipid (SL-corn) was produced at 1:2:2(corn oil/capric acid/CLA) and 4% immobilized lipase from Rhizomucor miehei (RM IM). Reaction was carried out for 24 hr at $55^{\circ}C$ in 1-L stirred-batch reactor. After reaction, 13.3 mol% capric acid and 8.9%, CLA were incorporated into corn oil. Iodine and saponification values of SL-corn were 68 and 202, respectively. Tocopherol content decreased after reaction (about 39%). SL-corn showed more yellowish color than corn oil (p<0.05). Reversed-phase HPLC indicated triacylglycerol species containing capric acid in SL-corn resulted in faster crystallization than that of corn oil.

The cytotoxic effects of lipid extracts from soybean products were studied using K562 human leukemia cell, Yac1 mouse leukemia cell and S 180 mouse sarcoma cell. Total lipids from soybean powder, soybean curd residue and doenjang were extracted with chloroform/methanol (2 : 1) and water saturated butanol, consecutively, and fractionated into acetone supernatants (AS fraction) and acetone precipitates (AP fraction) by adding excess acetone. AS fraction of doenjang lipids showed the strongest cytotoxic effects on K562, Yac1 and S180 cancer cells, whereas each lipid fraction of soybean curd residue also showed relatively weak cytotoxic effects on cancer cells but soybean powder did not. AS and AP fractions of doenjang contained more free fatty acids than those of soybean curd residue and soybean. And when lipid fractions were digested with 0.4 N KOH/methanol, doenjang lipid fractions showed to contain some alkali-stable substances which showed positive reaction with ninhydrin solution on silica TLC separation.

Hydrogen analysis by elastic recoil detection has been performed utilizing polyimide film as a reference sample of known hydrogen content assuming the soundness of ion beam current integration. However beam current integration at higher incidence angle is not reliable. Scattering yield per unit fluence by current integration which is normalized per unit path length decreases as the sample tilt angle is getting higher. Moreover because beam current integration at high tilt angle is incomplete, hydrogen evaluation is very risky by direct comparison of sequentially collected recoil spectra between reference and target sample. In this study, primary ion beam dose is determined by backscattering spectrum that is collected simultaneously with recoil spectrum instead of ion beam current integration in order to reduce uncertainty arising in the process of current integration and to enhance the reliability of quantitative analysis. Three test samples are selected $-7.6{\mu}m$ polyimide film, hydrogen implanted silicondioxide and Au deposited carbon wafer- and analyzed by two methods and compared.

The horizontal-to-vertical spectral ratio (HVSR) analysis is conducted to estimate the site amplification effect and the thickness of the sedimentary layer beneath the measurement site. We investigated the effects of meteorological variations (wind and precipitation rate) and sensor burial depths on HVSR analysis. The HVSR results were unstable when seismographs were exposed on the ground. The HVSR results of ambient noise data measured under strong winds were also unstable. It is recommended to measure the ambient noise at wind speeds of <3 m s-1. Stable HVSR results were obtained when seismographs were buried, regardless of the precipitation rates. The results of this study provide the best observations and optimal weather conditions required to acquire accurate and reliable HVSR results.
