Accident-tolerant fuels (ATFs) are currently of high interest to researchers in the nuclear industry and in governmental and international organizations. One widely studied accident-tolerant fuel concept is multilayer cladding (also known as coated cladding). This concept is based on a traditional Zr-based alloy (Zircaloy-4, M5, E110, ZIRLO etc.) serving as a substrate. Different protective materials are applied to the substrate surface by various techniques, thus enhancing the accident tolerance of the fuel. This study focuses on the results of testing of Zircaloy-4 coated with pure chromium metal using the cold spray (CS) technique. In comparison with other deposition methods, e.g., Physical vapor deposition (PVD), laser coating, or Chemical vapor deposition techniques (CVD), the CS technique is more cost efficient due to lower energy consumption and high deposition rates, making it more suitable for industry-scale production. The Cr-coated samples were tested at different conditions ($500^{\circ}C$ steam, $1200^{\circ}C$ steam, and Pressurized water reactor (PWR) pressurization test) and were precharacterized and postcharacterized by various techniques, such as scanning electron microscopy, Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), or nanoindentation; results are discussed. Results of the steady-state fuel performance simulations using the Bison code predicted the concept's feasibility. It is concluded that CS Cr coating has high potential benefits but requires further optimization and out-of-pile and in-pile testing.

지역단위 도로교통안전도에 대한 거시적 평가는 인구, 자동차대수, 도로연장 등의 거시적 노출변수(Macroscopic Exposure Measures)에 기반한 사고율을 노출지표로 이용하는 것이 일반적이나, 노출지표를 이용한 도로교통안전도 평가에 노출지표들이 미치는 영향이 각기 다르기 때문에 결과적으로 각각의 개별노출지표별 평가시 평가결과가 서로 상이하게 되는 문제가 있으며, 이는 예산투자의 효율적 집행을 위한 교통안전정책의 결정과정에 방해요인으로 작용하게 된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 최소제곱법 및 가중치를 일정단위로 변화시키는 시뮬레이션을 이용하여 노출지표별 최적의 가중치를 도출하였으며, 이를 종합적으로 반영할 수 있는 도로교통안전도 비교평가지수 산정방법을 개발하였다. 지수를 구성하는 노출지표별 가중치는 인구당사고율이 0.29, 자동차등록대수당사고율이 0.52, 도로연장당 사고율이 0.19로 도출되었으며, 개발된 방법을 적용하여 전국 기초지자체별로 도로교통안전도 비교평가지수를 산정하였다. 본 연구에서 제시한 방법을 통해 노출지표별로 평가결과가 상이해지는 문제를 해결할 수 있으며, 교통안전예산의 투자효율성을 높이기 위한 교통안전정책의 합리적인 결정방법으로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

기존 연구들은 대부분 특정 유형, 시점, 장소를 분석할 수밖에 없기 때문에, 향후 정책 결정 근거로 이용하는데 한계가 있다. 이에 따라, 본 연구는 향후 정책 결정에 도움이 될 수 있도록 지속 가능하며, 신뢰도 높고, 다양한 효과분석 결과를 제시하는 것을 목표로 하였다. 공공데이터인 교통사고분석시스템(TAAS), 교통단속장비 관리업무시스템 (MTS) 데이터를 융합하여 광범위한 분석데이터를 수집하였고, 비교그룹 방법을 이용하여 효과분석하였다. 다양한 분석 결과를 제시하기 위해 교통단속장비의 제한속도 및 교통사고 유형별 사고감소 효과를 분석하였다. 2019년 서울시 신호위반 단속 장비 신규 설치 지점 87개소의 대상으로 분석한 결과 전체 사고 발생, 치명적 사고 발생이 각각 28.53%, 39.44% 감소하여 사고 심각도 개선에 큰 효과를 보였다. 제한속도 30km/h, 50km/h 단속 장비들은 전체사고에 대해 각각 42.23%, 25.85%의 사고 감소율을 보였지만, 사고유형과 법규위반유형별로 상이한 분석 결과를 보였다. 이처럼 단속 장비는 제한 속도별, 교통사고 유형별로 상이한 사고감소 효과를 지니므로 향후 이를 고려한 정책 결정을 통해 교통안전 정책에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Each year, it seems inevitable that major accidents will occur on construction sites. Industrial accidents, sometimes involving foreign laborers, have been constantly increasing. Construction laborers have higher hazard rates and higher work intensity than other industries, which means that they experience more job stress, as a result of the subcontracting structure. Therefore, this study performed an influence factor analysis on job stress and its relevance to industrial accidents involving Korean and foreign construction laborers, and proposed its effectiveness with the job stress and construction accident management measures based on the results of those. A questionnaire to measure job stress was performed targeting Korean and foreign laborers, and the results were analyzed. The results of this study can be utilized as important reference materials in efforts to reduce the job stress of foreign laborers on construction sites, and can be expected to contribute to preventing construction accidents related to job stress in the future.

The importance of the industrial safety has been growing gradually as well as the prevention activities on industrial accidents. Industrial accident rates have been decreasing by the prevention activities. However, the fatal industrial accidents such as the death tend to increase and risk per accident has increased. The previous studies on the industrial accidents focus on the entire accidents. However, these studies are lacking for the fatal industrial accidents such as the death. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the characteristics and trend of death which occurred by industrial accident, based on the real data of deaths collected last 5 years from 1999 to 2003 in korea. This paper suggests a analysis method using MDS(MultiDimensional Scaling) that considers accidents variables and properties simultaneously. We evaluate MDPREF (Multidimensional Analysis of Preference Data), one of the MDS analysis, to know the relations between the type of industry and region as well as the type of industry and occupation. This paper finds the type of industry which has high possibilities of death by regional groups. In addition, we find the type of occupation which has high possibilities of death by the type of industry. These findings indicate that industrial classification should be differently controled according to type of occupation and region.

Proportion of falling from height accident at construction work accounts for more than 40%, and the number of injuries is getting increased. So without considering falling from height, we can say that it's hard to achieve our goal(accident prevention). Another critical point that we have to think about theses days is the fact that construction workers are getting older. To be specific, the number of workers who are above 50 years old accounts for 65.6% among the fatalities(2007~2011, KOSHA inspection). Accordingly, to effectively prevent construction accedents, especially falls from height, we need to focus on motion analysis of older construction workers and then make suitable measures for growing accident rates at construction work.

Korea reached an aging society in 2000, and it is progressed quickly now. Government forecasts that the number of aged people over 65 years old will increase from 7.2%(2000) to above 14.3% among total population in 2018. Workers over fifty years old are increasing in construction field every year. These aged workers are exposed to various construction accidents, and also their accident rate is very high because of physical and psychological changes by aging. Specially, a disaster of aged workers more than 50 years old is fronted at the serious situation in the construction industry which has variable working environment. Thus, the purpose of this study is to suggest the precaution by analysing disaster characteristics of aged construction workers. Also, this study aims to present a basic counter-plan according to important safety management list which is abstracted from the work, aged construction workers' accident rate is high.

Among all industries, the construction industry still remains a traditional one with low productivity due to its labor-intensive and field-dependent production system, its supplier-oriented industrial structure, and the disruption of the information flow between participants. In addition, the construction industry in South Korea has recently been required to transform itself according to social trends such as aging, the reduction of skilled workers, and the shortening of working hours, and the disaster and death rates in the industry, which are more than twice as high as those in other industries, are making it more necessary to solve chronic safety problems. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to grasp the actual condition of safety management on construction sites in South Korea and analyze cases of K-smart technology utilization for preventing safety accidents on construction sites. The study investigated and analyzed the following. First, construction sites in South Korea were analyzed by type of safety accident, by type of construction, and by construction contract amount. Second, the current status of accidents on small-sized construction sites with a high fatal accident rate and cases of safety accidents on construction sites were investigated. The results of the study are expected to contribute to the dissemination and spread of smart safety technology for not only identifying major factors in safety accidents that occur on construction sites but also preventing workers from suffering accidents.
