The containment pressure and temperature transient analysis computer code CONTEMPT4/MOD5 is modified to incorporate the passive containment cooling models. The correlations are selected from the existing experimental heat transfer correlations to model the natural and mixed convection in annular space between the containment shell and the shield building. The evaporative heat transfer of the water film on the outer shell of the containment is modeled using the correlations derived from the analogy between the heat and mass transfer. The modified code is applied to the Ap600 containment transient analysis for the model verification and the results are compared to the results of GOTHIC calculation done by Westinghouse. Also, d series of parametric sensitivity studies of heat transfer correlations, water film ratio and delay time of the wet cooling on the containment peak pressure and temperature following LOCA are performed for the containment of 1000MWe passive plant, KP1000.

피동형원자로 AP600을 참조발전소로하여 설정된 1000MWe급 대용량 피동형원자로의 계통개념에 대한 안전계통 성능 평가 및 코드의 적용성 평가를 목적으로 RELAP5/MOD3코드를 사용하여 대형냉각재상실사고를 모의 해석하였다. 피동형 안전계통으로 축압기, CMT IRWST를 모델하였으며 가압기에 연결된 1단계부터 3단계까지의 자동감압밸브계통을 모델링 하고 4단계 자동감압밸브계통은 각 루프의 고온관에 연결되어 있는 것으로 모델링 하였다. 피동형 안전계통의 모델이 향상된 RELAP5/MOD3.2와 그 이전의 코드인 RELAP5/MOD3.1의 냉각재상실사고 모의계산결과 원자로내의 압력변화, 노심냉각수 주입유량 및 핵연료 피복재 온도 거동이 거의 유사하게 나타났으며 1000MWe급 대용량 피동형원자로의 안전계통은 냉각재 상실사고시 충분한 노심냉각능력을 가지는 것으로 분석되었다.

In a reactor coolant system of a nuclear power plant (NPP), an overpressure protection system keeps pressure in the loop within 110% of design pressure. However if the system does not work properly, pressure in the loop could elevate hugely in a short time. It would be seriously disastrous if a weak point in the pressure boundary component bursts and releases radioactive material within the containment; and it may lead to a leak outside the containment. In this study, a gross deformation that leads to a burst of pressure boundary components was investigated. Major components in the primary pressure boundary that is structurally important were selected based on structural mechanics, then, they were used to study the burst pressure of components by finite element method (FEM) analysis and by number of closed forms of theoretical relations. The burst pressure was also used as a metric of design optimization. It revealed which component was the weakest and which component had the highest margin to bursting failure. This information is valuable in severe accident progression prediction. The burst pressures of APR-1400, AP1000 and VVER-1000 reactor coolant systems were evaluated and compared to give relative margins of safety.

The study for the combustion characteristics of propellants for nozzleless boosters was carried out. The metal fuels of Al and Zr were introduced into solid propellant formulations in order to enhance the density-specific impulse and the high burning rate with low pressure exponent was investigated as the major combustion characteristic of propellant to design nozzleless boosters. The burning rate of Zr-containing propellant was higher than Al-containing propellant and, $13{\mu}m$ Zr-containing propellant exhibited the burning rate of 35 mm/s (at 1000 psi)and pressure exponent of 0.3282. The benefit of using Al and Zr-containing propellant into nozzleless boosters was demonstrated in these results.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate tibial tunnel widening prospectively after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction with hamstring tendon grafts using Rigidfix (DePuy Mitek, Raynham, MA) femoral fixation and Intrafix (DePuy Mitek) tibial fixation. 56 consecutive patients who underwent ACL reconstruction with a minimum of 2 years' postoperative evaluation were reviewed. On the anterior-posterior (AP) and lateral radiographs, the diameter of the tibial tunnel was measured at proximal, middle, and distal positions and the shape of the tibial tunnels were classified. Tunnel widening was defined as widening of greater than 2 mm. Group I was defined as cases with no tunnel widening and group II defined as cases with tunnel widening. Postoperative laxity evaluations were performed using Lachman test, pivot-shift test, and Instrumented laxity testing using the KT-1000 arthrometer. On the AP radiographs, the average diameter of the tibial tunnel increased 8.8% at 6 months and 8.5% at 12 months postoperatively compared to the immediate postoperative day. On the lateral radiographs, the average diameter of the tibial tunnel increased 7.2% at 6 months and 8.1% at 12 months year postoperatively compared to the immediate postoperative day. The tunnel shape evaluation revealed predominantly linear type in 53 patients (95%). Group I was 42 patients (75%) and group II was 14 (25%). The average KT-1000 measurement was 1.0~1.8 mm in group I and 2.1~2.8 mm in group II (p>0.05) The Lachman and pivot-shift showed tests no significant differences between the two groups. In conclusion, hamstring ACL reconstruction using Rigidfix and Intrafix fixation showed less widening of the tibial tunnels than observed in previously published studies.

A development of a composite solid propellant is carried out for an application to gas generators as an energy source of rocket system. With HTPB as a propellant binder which has 80% of particle loading ratio, a favorable rheology, and moderate curing properties at the range of $-50^{\circ}C{\sim}70^{\circ}C$, AN is selected as the first kind of oxidizer having the characteristics of a low flame temperature, minimal particle residual as well as nontoxic products. AP is the second oxidant for ballistic property control. A series of experiments for the improvement of physical properties were conducted and resulted in the propellant formulation having 30% of strain rate at 8 bar of max. stress.

The influence of deficient(7${\mu}M$) and suffcient(1000${\mu}M$) magnesium(Mg) supply on the content of mg, chlorophyll, protein and the activity of superoxide dismutase(SOD), scavengers of superoxide radical($O_2$), and ascorbate peroxidase(AP), $H_2O_2$scavenging enzyme, and glutathione redutase(GR) were studied in pumpkin(Cudurbita moscata $D_{UCHESNE}$) plants over a 11-day period. Over the 11 days Period of growth in nutrient solution with sufficient and deficient Mg supply, the contents of Mg, chlorophyll protein and the activities of the antioxidative enzymes remained more or less constant in Mg-sufficient leaves. In Mg-deficient leaves, the contents of Mg, chlorophyll and protein was seriously decreased with time, however the activities of SOD, AP and GR highly enhanced compared to those of Mg-sufficient. The results indicated the stimulative effect of Mg deficiency on toxic oxygen species and scavenging enzymes in plants.

HTPB/AP/Al이 주성분인 2종의 혼합형 추진제를 대상으로 4종의 금속선(Ag, Cu, Al, Ni-Cr)윰 각각 삽입하여 금속선의 직경(0.1~0.8mm)과 연소 압력에 따른 금속선에 인접한 고체 추진제의 연소 속도 증가비($r_w$/$r_sb$)와 압력 지수(n)의 변화를 고찰하였다. 금속선을 추진제에 삽입함으로써 추진제의 $r_w$/$r_sb$ 는 크게 중가하였고, 1000 psia의 압력에서의 최대 6.59배 증가하였다. 그러나 녹는 점이 비교적 낮은 Al 선이나 Ag선은 금속선 직경이 작아짐에 따라 한계 직경에서 $r_w$가 급격히 감소하는 최대값이 존재하였다. 자연 발화 온도와 금속선으로 전달되는 열원인 연소 기체 불꽃 온도로 구성된 무차원군을 Buckingham pi 정리에 의해 구해진 $r_w$/$r_sb$ 에 대한 기존의 무차원 실험식에 추가로 적용하여 계산해 본 결과, 자연 발화 온도는 고려하지 않고 금속선의 녹는 점과 연소 기체의 불꽃 온도를 무시한 Hsing 의 실험식에 의해 계산된 결과보다 표준 편차가 45%이상 줄어듬을 알 수 있었다.

The main steam line break accident is an essential initiating event of the pressurized water reactor. In present work, the fuzzy set theory and the signal-based fault detection method has been used to detect the occurrence and diagnosis of the location and break area for the small scale MSLB. The models are validated by the AP1000 accident simulator based on MAAP5. From the test results it can be seen that the proposed approach has a rapid and proper response on accident detection and location diagnosis. The method proposed to evaluate the break area shows good performances for small scale MSLB with the relative deviation within ±3%.
