Analysis of the 2016 Gyeongju earthquake and the 2017 Pohang earthquake showed the characteristics of a typical high-frequency earthquake with many high-frequency components, short time strong motion duration, and large peak ground acceleration relative to the magnitude of the earthquake. Domestic nuclear power plants were designed and evaluated based on NRC's Regulatory Guide 1.60 design response spectrum, which had a great deal of energy in the low-frequency range. Therefore, nuclear power plants should carry out seismic verification and seismic performance evaluation of systems, structures, and components by reflecting the domestic characteristics of earthquakes. In this study, high-frequency amplification factors that can be used for seismic verification and seismic performance evaluation of nuclear power plant systems, structures, and equipment were analyzed. In order to analyze the high-frequency amplification factor, five sets of seismic time history were generated, which were matched with the uniform hazard response spectrum to reflect the characteristics of domestic earthquake motion. The nuclear power plant was subjected to seismic analysis for the construction of the Korean standard nuclear power plant, OPR1000, which is a reactor building, an auxiliary building assembly, a component cooling water heat exchanger building, and an essential service water building. Based on the results of the seismic analysis, a high-frequency amplification factor was derived upon the calculation of the floor response spectrum of the important locations of nuclear power plants. The high-frequency amplification factor can be effectively used for the seismic verification and seismic performance evaluation of electric equipment which are sensitive to high-frequency earthquakes.

This paper presents the vibration analysis and the performance evaluation of cantilevers with probing tips for non-contact scanning probe microscopy. One of the current issues of the scanning probe microscopy technology is to increase the measurement speed, which is closely tied with the dynamic characteristics of cantilevers. The primary concern in this research is to investigate the relation between the maximum possible speed of non-contact scanning probe microscopy and the dynamic characteristics of cantilevers. First, the finite element analysis is made for the vibration characteristics of various cantilevers in use. The computed natural frequencies of the cantilevers are in good agreement with measured ones. Then, each cantilever is tested with topographic measurement for a standard sample with the scanning speed changed. The performances of cantilevers are analyzed along with the natural frequencies of cantilevers. Experiments are also performed to test the effects of how to attach cantilevers in the piezo-electric actuator. Finally, measurement sensitivity has been analyzed to enhance the performance of scanning probe microscopy.

An EM pump is used for the purpose of transporting the electrically conducting liquid sodium of the high temperature that is used as a coolant in the liquid metal reactor. In the present study, the pilot pump has been designed and manufactured for the high temperature of $600^{\circ}C$ by the equivalent circuit materials and the consideration of the materials and functions. The length and diameter of the pump are given as 84 cm and 10 cm each due to the fixed geometry of the circulation system to be installed. The characteristic of the developing pressure and efficiency is found out by using Laithewaite\`s standard design formula. It is shown that the developing pressure and efficiency are maximized at the frequency of 15 Hz from the curve. The annular channel gap of 3.95 mm is selected in the range of the reasonable hydraulic frictional loss. The components of the pump consist of the material for the high temperature. And then, the pump is manufactured to have the nominal flowrate of 40 1/min and developing Pressure of 1.3 bar.

기존 비파괴평가 기술의 결함 탐지 한계를 극복하기 위하여 비선형 초음파공명 특성을 이용한 미세 균열 진단 기술을 개발하였다. 가진 전압에 따른 초음파공명 주파수의 천이현상과 정규화 공명 진폭 감소 현상을 비선형 초음파공명 특성 파라미터로 제안하였으며 이를 실험적으로 확인하였다. CT 시편에 피로시험을 통하여 미세한 자연 균열을 생성하였으며 피로 사이클 단계마다 초음파공명주파수와 정규화 공명진폭의 변화를 측정하였다. 무결함 또는 10 ${\mu}m$ 정도의 매우 미세한 균열이 존재하는 시편에서는 초음파공명 주파수 천이현상이나 정규화 공명 진폭의 변화가 나타나지 않는 반면에 30 ${\mu}m$급 이상의 미세 균열 시편에서는 균열 크기가 증가함에 따라 초음파공명주파수의 천이 현상이나 정규화 공명 진폭의 감소량이 증가함을 확인하였다.

The development of radiation-tolerant radio-frequency (RF) systems can be a solution for applications in extreme radiation environments, such as nuclear power plant monitoring and space exploration. Among the crucial components within an RF system, the low noise amplifier (LNA) stands out due to its vulnerability to TID effects, mainly relying on transistors as its main devices. In this study, the TID effects in the LNA using standard 0.18 ㎛ complementary metal oxide semiconductors (CMOS) technology are estimated and analyzed. The results show that the LNA can withstand absorbed radiation up to 100 kGy. The S₂₁, S₁₁, noise figure (NF), stability (K), and linearity of the third input intercept point (IIP3) slightly shifted from the initial values of 0.8312 dB, 0.793 dB, 0.00381 dB, 1.34406, and 2.36066 dBm, respectively which are still comparable to the typical performances. Moreover, the standard 0.18 ㎛ technology has demonstrated its radiation tolerance, as it exhibits negligible performance degradation in the conventional LNA even when exposed to radiation levels up to 100 kGy. In this context, simulation approach offers a means to predict the TID effects and estimate the radiation exposure limit for electronic devices, particularly when transistors are used as the primary RF components.

세슘빔 공진기에서 세슘D$_2$ 전이선으로 광펌핑된 원자가 램지공진기에서 마이크로파의 주파수에 따른 초미세준위의 바닥상태간의 원자밀도 전이에 의한 형광 신호의 분포를 펌핑광의 세기에 따라 관측하였다. 펌핑광의 편광방향이 자기장에 나란한 $\pi$편광일 때 각 제만부준위의 마이크로파 전이 신호는 mF=0을 중심으로 $\pm$mF의 신호세기가 대칭적이었으나 펌핑광의 편광 방향이 자기장에 수직인 $\sigma$ $\pm$ 인 경우에는 비대칭적임을 확인하였다. 이것은 펌핑광의 주파수가 세슘빔 공진기에서의 세슘공진주파수에서 detuning이 있는 것에 의한 것으로 예상하였다. 이를 확인하기 위해 원자밀도행렬방정식으로 세슘빔공진기에서 마이크로파 전이신호를 계산하였다. 펌핑광의 세기와 편광방향, detuning에 따른 마이크로파 전이신호의 분포가 실험치와 잘 일치함을 알 수 있었다. 이 연구는 세슘빔 원자공진기에서 펌핑광의 주파수가 세슘공진주파수에 detuning된 정도를 관측할 수 있는 방법을 제시해 준다.

최근 정보 통신 및 우주 항공 분야 등에서 정밀한 시계에 대한 필요성이 증가함에 따라 현재의 원자시계 보다 더 우수한 원자시계에 대한 개발이 요구되고 있다. 이러한 요구에 부응하여 새로운 원자시계에 관한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 특히, 레이저 냉각기술이 발명됨에 따라 레이저 냉각된 원자를 이용하여 원자시계를 제작하려는 연구들이 있는데, 그 중에서 원자분수 방식을 이용하는 주파수표준기가 차세대 원자시계로 기대되고 있다. 원자분수 주파수표준기는 이미 프랑스 LPTF에서 제작하여 그 불확도가 3$\times$$10^{15}$인 것으로 알려져 있다. 한국표준과학연구원에서도 1996 년부터 원자분수 주파수 표준기 개발을 위한 예비실험으로 원자의 온도를 수 $\mu$K 까지 냉각하였으며, 자유낙하하는 원자의 형광을 관측하여 온도를 측정하였다. 이러한 일련의 예비실험을 통하여 레이저 냉각 기술 및 형광측정 능력 등을 확보하고 본격적인 원자분수 주파수표준기 제작에 착수하였다.
