우주물질의 대부분이 플라즈마 상태에 있지마는 지구상에서는 천둥이 칠 때 생기는 방전이나 극지방에서 볼 수 있는 오로라와 같이 극히 일부분이 자연상태의 프라즈마로 존재한다. 지금까지 플라즈마의 이용은 그것이 내는 밝은 빛을 이용한 조명이나, 높은 열을 이용한 용접이나 절단이 고작이었으나, 최근에 들어 초고온, 고밀도 플라즈마를 이용한 핵융합 에너지 연구나 Free Electron Laser나 Gyrotron과 같이 새로운 Radiation Source로써 종래의 Source가 만들지 못하던 주파수 영역이나 Glow Discharge에서 생기는 저온 Plasma를 이용한 Plasma Etching PECVD(Plasma Enhanced CHemical Vapor Deposition), Plasma Ashing, Sputtering등은 VLSI의 제조에 필요불가결한 공정의 일부분이 되고 있다. 앞으로 수회에 걸쳐 본 기술해설란을 통하여 이들 Plasma의 이용 기술을 소개하고자 하며 본회에서는 그중에서 Plasma Etching에 대해서 그 원리와 기술상의 특징을 살펴보고자 한다.

새로운 소재의 개발과 더불어 이의 특성을 평가하기 위한 여러 방법들도 새롭게 개발, 적용되어 왔다. 그러나 동일한 소재라도 사용 환경에 따라서 그 특성은 다르게 나타나기 때문에 사용 적정성의 평가는 반드시 수행되어야 한다. 특히 소재의 내구성이 한계에 달하는 극한환경에서 사용을 목적으로 하는 경우 더욱 그러하다. 이 분야의 연구는 전통적으로 미국, 일본, 독일 등을 중심으로 개발되어 왔으나 근래 국내의 연구개발도 산, 학, 연 분야에서 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 우리 연구소에서는 당해연도를 시작으로 극한환경 소재 기술개발을 수행하고 있다. 본고에서는 초고온 환경에서 사용되는 탄소-탄소 복합소재의 특성평가를 목적으로 이 분야의 비파괴평가 기술개발 동향을 소개한다.

Creep life prediction has been commonly used by a time-temperature parameter (TTP) which is correlated to an applied stress and temperature, such as Larson-Miller (LM), Orr-Sherby-Dorn (OSD), Manson-Haferd (MH) and Manson-Succop (MS) parameters. A stress-temperature linear model (STLM) based on Arrhenius, Dorn and Monkman-Grant equations was newly proposed through a mathematical procedure. For this model, the logarithm time to rupture was linearly dependent on both an applied stress and temperature. The model parameters were properly determined by using a technique of maximum likelihood estimation of a statistical method, and this model was applied to the creep data of Alloy 617. From the results, it is found that the STLM results showed better agreement than the Eno’s model and the LM parameter ones. Especially, the STLM revealed a good estimation in predicting the long-term creep life of Alloy 617.

Nuclear hydrogen production using high temperature heat of a very high temperature reactor(VHTR) is one of the most attractive ways of mass hydrogen production without greenhouse gas emission. In many countries, sulfur-iodine(S-I) thermochemical process and high temperature steam electrolysis(HTSE) process are being investigated. In such processes, corrosion behavior of Intermediate heat exchanger materials are the most critical issues. Especially in a HTSE system, several heat exchangers will be facing hot steam conditions. In this paper, the status of high temperature corrosion researches in hot steam and supercritical water conditions are reviewed in view of the implication to HTSE conditions. Based on the review, test condition and plan of the hot steam corrosion of the candidate materials are formulated and described in some details along with the schematics of the test set-up. The test results and subsequent evaluation will be used in development of a interface system between the HTSE hydrogen production system and the VHTR.

A medium-scale helium loop that can simulate a VHTR (very-high-temperature reactor) is now under construction at the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute. The heaters of the test helium loop electrically heat helium fluid up to $950^{\circ}C$ at pressures of 1 to 9 MPa. To optimize the design specifications of the experimental helium loop, the conjugate heat transfer in the high-temperature helium heater was analyzed by performing a CFD simulation. The analysis results indicate that the maximum temperature does not exceed the allowable limit. It is confirmed that the thermal characteristics of the loop with the given geometry satisfy the design requirements.

For Very High Temperature Reactors (VHTR), the designs of the Intermediate Heat Transport Loop (IHTL) and the Intermediate Heat Exchanger (IHX) are particularly difficult because of the high-temperature operation (up to $950^{\circ}C$). In this study, Flinak molten salt, a eutectic mixture of LiF, NaF, and KF (46.5:11.5:42.0 mole %) is considered as the heat transporting fluid in the IHTL. To evaluate the flow and heat transfer performance of the Flinak molten salt in small channels with hydraulic diameters in the millimeter range, a double-pipe heat exchanger was constructed using small-diameter tubes for the heat exchange between the Flinak and the gas flow. The experimental data showed that, for laminar Flinak flow, the measured friction factors were close to the 64/Re curve and the Nusselt numbers were generally between 3.66 and 4.36.

An unusually large protein complex was found in the cytosol of the hyperthmophilic archaeon. Thermococcus profundus. The purified protein was shown to be a homomultimer of 93 kDa subunit (P93 complex). The complex is extremely heat stable. During 12 hrs incubation with SDS (final concentration 1%) at $85^{\circ}C$, no changed structure could be observed. Electron image analysis of negatively stained showed that the complex has a single, stable characteristic view and a well-preserved core with threefold rotational symmetry. The periphery of the assembly is composed of a nebulose, possibly flexible, component. Based on the projected structure suggest the P93 complex from T. profundus is composed 24 homomultimer.

SI Cyclic process is one of the thermochemical hydrogen production processes using iodine and sulfur for producing hydrogen molecules from water. VHTR (Very High Temperature Reactor) can be used to supply heat to hydrogen production process, which is a high temperature nuclear reactor. IHX (Intermediate Heat Exchanger) is necessary to transfer heat to hydrogen production process safely without radioactivity. In this study, the strategy for the optimum design of IHX between SI hydrogen process and VHTR is proposed for various operating pressures of the reactor, and the different cooling fluids. Most economical efficiency of IHX is also proposed along with process conditions.
