Recently, the long-term operation of a nuclear power plant beyond its licensed term has become a worldwide trend as long as the safety of the plant is maintained in the extended period. Kori Unit 1, the oldest PWR in Korea, is the foremost example of this type of long-term operation in Korea. Comprehensive technical evaluation of the long-term operation of this plant was completed to confirm the overall safety of the plant. The technical evaluation included a review of PSR results, an assessment on aging management programs and time limited aging analyses, and a statement of radiological impact on the environment. Based on all of the results of the technical evaluation activities, Kori Unit 1 was approved to operate for an additional 10 years beyond its original design life of 30 years.

In this paper, a new efficient feature extraction method based on Daubechies discrete wavelet transform is presented. This paper especially deals with the assessment of process statistical parameter using the features extracted from the wavelet coefficients of measured acoustic emission signals. Since the parameter assessment using all wavelet coefficients will often turn out leads to inefficient or inaccurate results, we selected that level-3 stage of multi decomposition in discrete wavelet transform. We make use of the feature extraction parameter namely, maximum value of acoustic emission signal, average value, dispersion, skewness, kurtosis, etc. The effectiveness of this new method has been verified on ability a diagnosis transformer go through feature extraction in stage of aging(the early period, the middle period, the last period)

PURPOSE. This study assessed the physical and mechanical properties of interim crown materials fabricated using various digital techniques after accelerated aging. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Three groups of interim dental restorative materials (N = 20) were tested. The first group (CO) was fabricated using a conventional manual method. The second group (ML) was prepared from prefabricated resin blocks for the milling method and cut into specimen sizes using a cutting disc. The third group (3D) was additively manufactured using a digital light-processing (DLP) 3D printer. Aging acceleration treatments using toothbrushing and thermocycling simulators were applied to half of the specimens corresponding to three years of usage in the oral environment (N = 10). Surface roughness (Ra), Vickers microhardness, 3-point bending, sorption, and solubility tests were performed. A 2-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Fisher's multiple comparison test were used to compare the results among the groups. RESULTS. The mean surface roughness (Ra) of the resin after accelerated aging was significantly higher in the CO and ML groups than that before aging, but not in the 3D group. All groups showed reduced hardness after accelerated aging. The flexural strength values were highest in the 3D group, followed by the ML and CO groups after accelerated aging. Accelerated aging significantly reduced water sorption in the ML group. CONCLUSION. According to the tested material and 3D printer type, both 3D-printed and milled interim restoration resins showed higher flexural strength and modulus, and lower surface roughness than those prepared by the conventional method after accelerated aging.

The purpose of this study is to present an appropriate approach to urban regeneration by analyzing Gwangju Metropolitan City. For the study, residential area of Asia Culture Complex was analyzed based on GIS. The areas concerned were categorized and looked into by their Situation based on the analysis of urban infrastructure state. However, as the architectural space within a city are limited, and accurate assessment of them is needed. The residential areas have the following characteristics. They become an aging and dilapidating residential and socially underprivileged-concentrated area. It is necessary to set up a direction for a future-oriented planning for the development of these areas. Along with a decreasing population, it is important to improve the urban architecture environment for the elderly in an aging society. The economic growth of a city if necessary for the future. Therefore, the criteria for the assessment is required. And the subsequent setting-up and planning of a future direction for a city is badly needed. After that, an accurate assessment of a city called for. City space allows for various interpretations. As the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer, a wealth is concentrated on one district or an area.

Objectives : The aim of this study is to measure pulse waveforms by applying 5-level graded pressure, and selecting optimum pulse waveforms. Also to proposing the possibility of using AW(Area of the 1/3 upper height of h1) rate in respect to AT(Total Area) for risk assessment of hypertension or arteriosclerosis is another aim of the study. Methods : Pulse waveforms of normotensive were measured by 5-level graded pressure. The pulse waveforms well reflecting properties of blood vessel(having the largest h1) were selected for optimum pulse waveforms. Various parameters(h-parameter, t-parameter, and others) of optimum pulse waveforms were analyzed. AIx(Augmentation index) was calculated by height-parameters to assess arterial stiffness. The area rate of the 1/3 upper height for h1 in respect to total area was analyzed according to aging. Results : According to aging 1. in height-parameter, h2 and h3 were increased but h5 was decreased. 2. In time-parameter, t2, t3, and t5 were getting short. 3. Area of systolic period was increased, and that of diastolic period decreased. 4. AIx rose by aging. 5. AW was significantly increased despite no changes in AT. Conclusions : By analyzing optimum pulse waveforms of 5-level graded pressure method, we could complement weakness of single graded pressure method. Also, possibility of applying the AW rate to risk assessment of hypertension or arteriosclerosis was confirmed in normotensive population which might not be assessed by AIx.

PTFE 및 PFA 등의 불소수지는 최대 연속 사용 온도가 260$^{\circ}C$에 달하는 고온 내열성 고분자 소재로서, 본 연구에서 수행된 280 $^{\circ}C$, 7주 간의 열노화에 의해서도 충분한 열적 안정성이 유지됨을 관측하였다. 그러나 기계적 강도, 융점 및 열분해 개시 온도 등의 소재적 물성이 유지됨을 의미하는 상기한 열적 안정성은 본 연구에서 수행된 코팅막으로서의 표면접촉각, 미세 모폴로지, 내스크래치성 분석에 의한 방법을 기준하면 충분하지 못하다는 것이 확인 되었다. 공기 치환율이 제어되는 기어식 노화시험기로 진행된 불소수지 코팅막의 280 $^{\circ}C$ 열노화에 대한 분석의 결과는 심각한 표면 모폴로지의 손상과 금속기재에 대한 접착력의 손실을 지적하고 있다.

2010년대에 들어서 노후화된 공정으로 인하여 많은 공장들의 안전이 보장되지 않은 채로 가동되고 있다. 공정 및 설비의 노후화 문제를 근본적으로 해결하기는 어렵지만, 사전에 위험성 평가로 위험을 예방할 수있다. 본 연구는 CDU(Crude Distillation Unit)의 탈황 장비에 있는 배관에서 황으로 인한 부식을 타겟으로 지정하였고, API RP 581를 참고한 RBI(Risk Based Inspection)기법으로 위험성 평가를 실시하였다. RBI 기법은 Frequency와 Consequence의 조합으로 Risk를 표현하고, 이들을 바탕으로 Risk Matrix를 만든다. 본 연구는 배관의 Hole Size를 Small과 Medium으로, Frequency의 감도는 'Low'로 선택하여 진행하였다. 기준을 통해 만들어진 Risk Matrix를 참고하여 배관에서 황으로 인한 부식의 사고 위험성을 평가하고 향후 사고 방지 계획을 세울 수 있다. 또한 이와 비슷한 방법으로 노후화에 대한 예방을 한다면 보이지 않는 크고 작은 사고들도 예방 할 수 있다.
