The purpose of this study is to propose a quantitative toxicity endpoint distance suitable for the initial response of firefighters by comparing and analyzing the commonly applied toxic level of concern (T-LOC), specifically emergency response planning guidelines (ERPG), acute exposure guideline levels (AEGL), and immediately dangerous to life or health (IDLH). This is to protect the fire brigade, which responds to toxic chemical accidents first during the golden time. Using areal locations of hazardous atmospheres, a damage prediction program, the amount of leakage for both acidic and basic substances, along with the endpoint distance, were analyzed for alternative accident and worst-case accident scenarios. The results showed that the toxicity endpoint distance, serving as a compromise between Level-3 and Level-2 of T-LOC, was longer than ERPG-3 and shorter than ERPG-2 with IDLH, while its values were analyzed in the order of ERPG-2, AEGL-2, IDLH, AEGL-3, and ERPG-3. It is suggested that the application of IDLH in an emergency (red card) and ERPG-2 endpoint distance in a non-emergency (non-red card) can be utilized for the initial response of the fire brigade.

The purpose is to evaluate evacuation safety by simulating the toxic effects of hydrogen fluoride leaks in areas surrounding national industrial complexes and to suggest alternatives for areas that do not satisfy evacuation safety. For human casualties caused by hydrogen fluoride leakage accidents, Available Safe Egress Time (ASET) is calculated by the toxic effects quantified with the Areal Locations of Hazardous Atmospheres (ALOHA), an off-site consequence assessment program. The Required Safe Egress Time (RSET) is calculated through Pathfinder, an evacuation simulation program. Evacuation safety is assessed by comparing ASET and RSET. The ALOHA program was used to evaluate the time to reach AEGL-2 concentration in 12 scenarios. The Pathfinder program was used to assess the total evacuation time of the high school among specific fire-fighting objects. Of the 12 accident scenarios, ASET was larger than RSET in the worst-case scenarios 1 and 9. For the remaining 10 accident scenarios, the ASET is smaller than the RSET, so we found that evacuation safety is not guaranteed, and countermeasures are required. Since evacuation safety is not satisfactory, we proposed to set up an evacuation area equipped with positive pressure equipment and air respirators inside specific fire-fighting objects such as the high school.

침구요법은 한국을 비롯한 중국, 일본 등의 아시아권 국가들에서 전통 의학의 주된 치료법으로 사용되어 왔고 최근에는 미국, 독일, 프랑스 등의 서구 여러 국가들에서도 침구요법의 유효성에 관한 연구가 지속적으로 진행되고 있으며 그 결과 세계보건기구에서는 침구요법의 유효성이 이미 검증된 임상영역들을 발표 공인하기에 이르렀다. 한편 의료행위는 사람을 대상으로 하기 때문에 그 자체가 어느 정도의 위험성을 항상 내포하고 있으며 침구 의료행위 또한 예외일 수는 없다. 또한 과거와는 달리 환자들은 의료정보를 취득할 수 있는 기회가 증가하고 있으며 권리의식도 신장되어 최근에는 의료분쟁의 발생이 급증하고 있는 추세이다. 그러나 현재까지 국내에서는 침구시술과 관련한 의료분쟁의 발생 및 그 대책에 관한 연구보고는 실로 미비한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구는 이러한 제반 상황을 배경으로 침구 의료행위로 인한 의료사고를 예방할 수 있는 대책을 강구하기 위한 기초적 연구로서 침구취영, 의학입문, 침구대성 및 의종금감에 수록된 금침혈가에서 제시하고 있는 자침 금지혈들의 시술 위험성을 문헌적으로 규명하고자 하였다.

돌발상황이 발생하였을 경우 발생장소를 기준으로 상류부와 하류부에서는 교통류의 특성이 서로 다르게 나타난다 즉, 상류부에는 저속으로 운행하는 높은 밀도의 교통류가 그리고, 하류부에는 고속으로 운행하는 낮은 밀도의 교통류가 형성되는 것이다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 특성을 이용하여 돌발발생 장소의 상 하류부 검지기 간의 속도와 밀도의 차이를 시간적, 공간적으로 동시에 고려한 돌발감지기법을 제시하였다 따라서 본 연구에서는 기존에 운영되고 있는 비교기법에 속하는 돌발감지기법들이 점유율 단독 또는 점유율과 운행속도의 추세를 별개로 분석한 후 두 개 지표의 변화추세를 고려한 것에 비하여 검지기 간의 거리 및 속도와 밀도를 동시에 고려 할 수 있는 개념을 제시하는데 그 의의가 있다. 천안-논산고속도로의 사고 상황 자료를 바탕으로 off-line 상에서 본 기법을 적용한 결과 인접 검지기 간의 속도-밀도관계를 분석함으로서 사고위치와 검지기간의 관계 등을 포함한 돌발상황을 감지할 수 있었다. 향후 본 기법이 고속도로교통관리시스템(FTMS)의 돌발감지기법(AID)으로 적용되기 위해서는 광범위한 자료를 바탕으로 돌발을 판정할 수 있는 임계치, 사고의 파장정도 및 돌발발생장소와 검지기 간의 위치에 따른 변화추이 등에 대한 추후 연구가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

Massive environmental monitoring has been conducted continuously since the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power accident in March of 2011 by different monitoring methods that have different features together with migration studies of radiocesium in diverse environments. These results have clarified the characteristics of radiological environments and their temporal change around the Fukushima site. At three months after the accident, multiple radionuclides including radiostrontium and plutonium were detected in many locations; and it was confirmed that radiocesium was most important from the viewpoint of long-term exposure. Radiation levels around the Fukushima site have decreased greatly over time. The decreasing trend was found to change variously according to local conditions. The air dose rates in environments related to human living have decreased faster than expected from radioactive decay by a factor of 2-3 on average; those in pure forest have decreased more closely to physical decay. The main causes of air dose rate reduction were judged to be radioactive decay, movement of radiocesium in vertical and horizontal directions, and decontamination. Land-use categories and human activities have significantly affected the reduction tendency. Difference in the air dose rate reduction trends can be explained qualitatively according to the knowledge obtained in radiocesium migration studies; whereas, the quantitative explanation for individual sites is an important future challenge. The ecological half-lives of air dose rates have been evaluated by several researchers, and a short-term half-life within 1 year was commonly observed in the studies. An empirical model for predicting air dose rate distribution was developed based on statistical analysis of an extensive car-borne survey dataset, which enabled the prediction with confidence intervals. Different types of contamination maps were integrated to better quantify the spatial data. The obtained data were used for extended studies such as for identifying the main reactor that caused the contamination of arbitrary regions and developing standard procedures for environmental measurement and sampling. Annual external exposure doses for residents who intended to return to their homes were estimated as within a few millisieverts. Different forms of environmental data and knowledge have been provided for wide spectrum of people. Diverse aspects of lessons learned from the Fukushima accident, including practical ones, must be passed on to future generations.

When accidents that relate to a large numbers of people occur, such as disasters involving group tours by ship or aircraft, or large-scale chemical leakages, it is very important to know the personal identification of victims and to determine their locations and status. It is true that there will be serious damage or injury to people who engaged especially when information does not transfer properly or people get inaccurate one. In this study, therefore, we analysed the disaster response management system for rescued people of the Sewo ferry sinking accident. Based on the analysis we proposed to improve the real-time disaster management system with ICT(Information & Communication Technology).

At the design stage of a plant, the plausible causes and pathways of release of hazardous materials are not clearly known. Thus there exist large amount of uncertainties on the consequences resulting from the operation of a fusion plant. In order to better handle such uncertain circumstances, we utilize the Probabilistic Risk Assessment(PRA) for the safety analyses on fusion power plant. In this paper, we concentrate on the tritium release accident. We develop a simple model that describes the process and flow of tritium, by which we figure out the locations of tritium inventory and their vulnerability. We construct event tree models that lead to various levels of tritium release from abnormal initiating events. Branch parameters on the event tree are assessed from the fault tree analysis. Based on the event tree models we construct influence diagram models which are more useful for the parameter updating and analysis. We briefly discuss the parameter updating scheme, and finally develop the methodology to obtain the predictive distribution of consequences resulting from the operating a fusion power plant. We also discuss the way to utilize the results of testing on sub-systems to reduce the uncertain ties on over all system.
