The EPMA analysis for CHIME dating requires standard materials, which include nuclear fuel materials that are rare and sensitive to handle. Any laboratory that does not meet these standards has had difficulties adopting the CHIME dating method. We have developed a working standard technique for CHIME dating to prepare standard materials without use of nuclear fuel materials. Mineral samples, such as small pieces of monazite that are homogeneous in X-ray intensities, are calibrated using well-characterized primary standards in one laboratory. Once this procedure is done, they can be readily usable as working standards in the other laboratories, only with measurement of X-ray intensities. This method is applicable in preparing standard materials for both chemical compositions and determination of X-ray interference correction factors, and it is independent from chemical composition of mineral standard.

Analyzed is the thermal margin of the Korea Nuclear Unit 1 (KNU-1) reactor core consisting of either 14 x 14 standard fuel assemblies (SFA) or optimized fuel assemblies (OFA). Employed for the analysis are two different thermal design methods; traditional and statistical thermal design method. Compared to the traditional design thermal method, the statistical thermal design method improves the core thermal margin utilizing best-estimate values for the core operating parameters combining their uncertainties in a statistical manner. Calculations are performed using a steady state and transient thermal-hydraulic analysis computer program, COBRA-IV-i. Calculated results show that the statistical thermal design method significantly improves the thermal margin and satisfies the core thermal design base of the KNU-1 SFA and OFA core. However, the thermal design base can not be met, if the traditional thermal design method is employed for the OFA role analysis.

The cetane number is a measure of ignition quality, specifically ignition delay, of diesel fuel. It is an engine measure of kinetic phenomena. The ignition quality such as kinetic behavior does correlate with the molecular structure, the carbon type structural composition. In fact, we use the group additivity rule to dissect the molecular structures and predict cetane number. In this study, the use of $^{13}C-Nuclear$ Magnetic Resonance spectroscopic measuring the molecular structure and group additivity rule at different diesel fuels, whose cetane numbers were determined on a number of standard cetane rating engines is proposed to predict cetane numbers that relate the carbon type structural composition. The effect of the molecular structures on the cetane numbers has been studied.

Fuel cell performance evaluation logic was developed using G-language (LabVIEW) to measure performance stability. Degree of stability and reliability of performance data were improved with averaged value and standard deviation method. Water injection system was introduced and the performance using this method was comparable to that of conventional humidification method. Water injection system has advantage of lowering operation energy consumption, reducing the number of parts needed in humidification, therefore increasing efficiency of fuel cell system. Fuel cell performance was decreased in case of low temperature operation such as sub freezing condition. Air purge method was tested to reduce the water content in cell fixture before sub freezing condition. The performance degradation due to low temperature operation was minimized by air purge method in medium size cell fixture ($25cm^2$) case.

A method which determines TRIGA Mark-III core power distribution by measuring fuel temperature is developed. The temperature measurement is performed by sweeping the already existing instrumented fuel elements which are loaded as an expedient of safe operation, and the number of fuel positions swept is 16. Experimental results are compared with those from computation using neutron diffusion theory. The maximum and standard deviations are 12 and 5%, respectively. It is confirmed that the estimation of rod power density of measuring fuel temperature is for more convenient than the conventional methods, and that it is proved to be very accurate as well.

유럽에서 RDF기술 확산 동향과 국가별 RDF사용 현황, 각국의 RDF품질표준 및 최근 유럽공통RDF품질표준화 추진현황을 소개하고 RDF사용처별 경제성분석 내용을 소개하였다. 소각로, 시멘트공장 및 석탄화력발전소에서 RDF를 사용할 경우에 열회수량은 시멘트공장이 다소 높게 나타났고 손익평가(cost benefit balance)는 석탄화력발전소가 가장 높게 나타났다. 국내에서 가동 중인 20MW급 순환유동층 석탄화력발전보일러에서 폐플라스틱고형연료(RPF)를 혼합연소하는 기술과 염화수소 및 다이옥신 측정내용을 소개하였다. 전염소량 0.4$\sim$0.6% RPF를 2.5%혼소 시 염화수소는 10ppmv 정도로 분석되었고 다이옥신은 0.003ng-TEQ/$Sm^3$으로 거의 검출이 되지 않았다.

화력발전소는 화석연료 에너지를 전기에너지로 변환하는 과정에 참여하는 많은 종류의 기기들이 유기적으로 운전되는 복합시스템이다. 발전소 정상운전 중 어느 한 기기가 갑자기 정지되면, 불안정현상이 크게 발생하고 정상 운전이 어렵게 된다. 그러므로 이러한 상황이 발생하는 경우 빠른 시간 내에 적정한 수준으로 출력을 감소시키고, 새로운 안정운전 상태를 찾아가도록 하는 선행적 제어기능이 필요하게 된다. 화력발전소에 이 목적으로 구현되는 제어기능을 로드런백(Load Runback)이라고 부른다. 특히 화력발전소 보일러는 급수, 연료, 통풍을 담당하는 많은 기기가 많이 동시 운전되고 있으므로, 적합하게 설계된 로드런백 기능이 없다면 신뢰성 운전을 보장하기 어렵다. 이 논문에서는 국내 500MW급 표준화력에서 사용하고 있는 로드런백 기능의 핵심을 분석하였고, 이 분석을 토대로 현재 개발 단계에 국산화 제어시스템에 로드런백 기능을 구현하고자 한다. 실제 발전소 취득한 로드런백 시험 그래프를 제시하고 분석 결과의 타당성을 확인하였다.

The International Maritime Organization(IMO) recommends the active implementation of national policies on technological development and energy efficiency to reduce Green House Gas (GHG) in the international shipping sector. Such IMO environmental regulation policies have a great impact on the entire shipping sector and are also a heavy burden on ship's owners. The most reasonable way to curb GHG emissions from ships comes down to the development of zero-emission ships. In other words, the development of a fuel cell ship (FCS) driven by an eco-friendly fuel is an alternative that can escape the IMO regulations. Countries in Asia, Northern America, and Europe independently develop and produce PEMFC, and are pursuing international standardization by acquiring approval in principle from an internationally accredited registration authority. Currently, there are three types of fuel cells (FC) that are recommended for ships: a Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC), a Molten Carbonate Fuel Cell (MCFC), and a Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC). In this study, PEMFC, which is expected to grow continuously in the global FC market, was analyzed domestic and international development trends, specifications, performance, and empirical cases applied to ships. In addition, when applying PEMFC to ships, it was intended to suggest matters to be considered and the development direction.
