Background: Several studies have reported that wild mushrooms contain high amounts of radioactive cesium (137Cs). After the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant Accident, a significantly high concentration of 137Cs has been detected in wild mushrooms, and their consumption may be the cause of the chronic internal exposure of local consumers to radioactivity. Therefore, an accurate evaluation of the internal radioactivity resulting from mushroom ingestion is needed. Materials and Methods: The 137Cs elution rate through the cooking and digestion stages was evaluated using in vitro experiments. The edible mushroom Pleurotus djamor was taken as a sample for the experiments. The mushrooms were cultivated onto solid media containing 137Cs. We evaluated the internal dose based on the actual conditions using the elution rate data. For various cooking methods, the results were compared with those of other wild edible mushrooms. Results and Discussion: From the elution experiment through cooking, we proved that 25%-55% of the 137Cs in the mushrooms was released during soaking, boiling, or frying. The results of a simulated digestion experiment after cooking revealed that almost all the 137Cs in the ingested mushrooms eluted in the digestive juice, regardless of the cooking method. The committed effective dose was reduced by 20%-75% when considering the dissolution through the cooking process. Conclusion: We found that cooking lowers 137Cs concentration in mushrooms, therefore reducing the amount of radioactivity intake. Besides, since there were differences between mushroom types, we demonstrated that the internal exposure dose should be evaluated in detail considering the release of 137Cs during the cooking stages.

2상유동을 해석하기 위한 3차원 코드인 THERMIT-6S의 미분 방정식을 세우기 위해, 수학적으로 정확하게 유도된 시간과 공간에 대해 평균한 보존 방정식을 단순화했다. 미분 방정식을 불연속화(discretization)하여 THERMIT-6S의 차분방정식을 얻는다. First-order spatial scheme, donor cell method, 그리고, staggered mesh layout을 써서 공간에 대한 불연속화를 한다. 그리고 시간에 대한 불연속화는 first-order semi-implicit scheme으로써, sonic terms와 국부적인 전달 현상에 관계되는 항들은 implicit하게 그리고 대류 전달 항들은 explicit하게 취급한다. 이렇게 얻어진 방정식들은Newton-Raphson 방법으로 선형화된다. 축소된 압력 방정식을 만들기 위해 모든 변수들이 mesh cells사이에서 단지 압력 변수를 통해서만 결부되도록, 선형화된 방정식들을 처리한다. OPERA-15 실험을 수치해석적으로 모의실험하여 본 결과, THERMIT-6S가 flow coastdown, 역류, 유체진동(flow oscillation) 등을 포함하고, sodium boiling 후의 원자로내의 변화를 예측하는데 매우 유효하다는 것이 밝혀졌다.

This study was intended to observe some nutritional effects of the boiling water extracts of mugwort powder in albino rats. Forty young male albino rats of Sprague-Dawley strain, body weight of $77{\pm}5g$ were employed for the experiment. They were divided into 5 dietary group, 0 (control), 1, 2, 4, and 8g% mugwort powder extract supplemented into the control diet, and fed each corresponding diet to the rats for 4 weeks. They were observed on intake of food and protein, efficiencies of food and protein, amount of energy intake, growing rate, and levels of hematocrit and hemoglobin in the blood. The amount of intakes of food, protein and energy was the highest in the group fed on 4g% mugwort extracts supplemented diet than any other groups studied. The efficiencies of food and protein in the groups fed on mugwort extracts supplemented diets were all lower than that of the control group. The growing rate of the group fed on 1g% mugwort extracts supplemented diet was the highest, however, there was no significant difference among them. The levels of hemoglobin of the groups fed 4g% or 8g% mugwort extracts supplemented diet was higher than that of the control, but not significant.

To get an insight into the operating characteristics of the passive residual heat removal system of molten salt reactors, a two-phase natural circulation test facility was constructed. The system consists of a boiling loop absorbing the heat from the drain tank, a condensing loop consuming the heat, and a steam drum. A steady-state experiment was carried out, in which the thimble temperature ranged from $450^{\circ}C$ to $700^{\circ}C$ and the system pressure was controlled at levels below 150 kPa. When reaching a steady state, the system was operated under saturated conditions. Some important parameters, including heat power, system resistance, and water level in the steam drum and water tank were investigated. The experimental results showed that the natural circulation system is feasible in removing the decay heat, even though some fluctuations may occur in the operation. The uneven temperature distribution in the water tank may be inevitable because convection occurs on the outside of the condensing tube besides boiling with decreasing the decay power. The instabilities in the natural circulation loop are sensitive to heat flux and system resistance rather than the water level in the steam drum and water tank. RELAP5 code shows reasonable results compared with experimental data.

This study was executed to test the possibility of replacement for domestic Japanese larch(Larix leptolepis) for hardwoods and to acquire the information about the effects of drying temperature on internal temperature, moisture content and drying defects. In high-temperature drying, internal temperature increased rapidly to boiling point, immediately after that point the internal temperature rising rate was reduced. In the case of drying at temperature of $125^{\circ}C$, internal temperature could reach at boiling point in a very short time. Moisture content in high-temperature drying showed constant drying rate period and first period of falling rate drying together in 4 hours since experiment begun. There was no strong correlation between initial moisture content and final moisture content. Average drying rate at $115^{\circ}C$, $120^{\circ}C$ and $125^{\circ}C$ was 1.42%/hr, 1.88%/hr and 2.02%/hr, respectively; the case of drying temperature of $125^{\circ}C$ showed most rapid drying rate. Drying rate of $125^{\circ}C$ was so rapid that it showed more severe shrinkage, bow, collapse, end check, and internal check development than in other drying conditions. The result of this study showed the strong possibility of high-temperature drying for Japanese larch, and to dry Japanese larch optimally, dry bulb temperature should not exceed $120^{\circ}C$.

크러드는 원자력 발전소 운전 시 핵연료 표면에 침적되는 철-니켈-크롬 등의 금속 산화물로 이루어진 다공성 물질이다. 그 두께는 수십 ㎛ 수준이다. 발전소의 냉각재상실사고 시 크러드 층은 핵연료-냉각수 열전달에 영향을 미치게 되어 원전 안전성 측면에서 그 영향을 살펴보는 것이 중요하다. 일반적으로 크러드는 열저항으로 인하여 핵연료 온도를 높이는 부정적 효과가 있는 것으로 알려져 있었다. 그 이유는 크러드에 의하여 핵비등, 최소막비등온도, 단상증기 열전달, 임계열유속, 막비등 열전달 등 2상유동 열전달 특성을 고려하지 않았기 때문이다. 본 연구에서는 다공성 크러드 물질의 물성치를 모델링하고 이를 국내 원전안전해석 코드인 SPACE에 탑재하였다. 크러드는 다공성 고체 물질이고 표면이 거칠기 때문에 최소막비등온도와 단상증기 열전달이 증가할 것으로 예상된다. 이에 최소막비등온도와 단상증기 열전달이 최대 피복재 온도 및 급냉에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. 시험 계산은 기존 FLECHT-SEASET 재관수 실험 장치에 기반으로 수행되었다. 계산결과 최소막비등온도가 상승하여 급냉시간이 줄어들었다. 단상증기 열전달의 경우 약 20% 증가할 때까지는 최대 피복재 온도가 하강하였다. 크러드 층이 원전 안정성 측면에서 긍정적인 효과가 있음을 확인하였다.

A few commonly used correlation equations of the enthalpy of vaporization essential to the analysis of refrigeration cycles are reviewed. A new four-parameter correlation equation is proposed assuming that the enthalpy of vaporization could be represented with a linear form of the temperature and an additional function which slowly decreases as the temperature increases. It is not a common practice to measure the enthalpy of vaporization by experiment; therefore, performance of the new correlation is examined using numeric data from the ASHRAE tables for 22 pure substance refrigerants. The new correlation equation and other existing ones are fitted to the data optimizing the root mean squared deviation. All data points are weighted equally and NBP (normal boiling point) is used as a fixed point since the NBP is important for refrigeration application. The new four-parameter equation yields an average absolute deviation of 0.05% for 22 refrigerants which is smaller than those of other four-parameter equations, such as Guermouche-Vergnaud (0.08%), Aerebrot (0.13%), Radoz-Lyderson (0.08%), and Somayajulu four-parameter equation (0.08%).

The aim of this paper is to develop the low temperature vacuum dryer, with low initial investments and operating costs, easy operating method and trouble-free operation Usally operations just below atmospheric pressure, as with direct dryers, but some are built for vacuum operation with pressure as low 50 mmHg abs. The lowers the boiling point to $39^{\circ}C$ The experimental data of quantitative analysis for using practically were obtained by the constant drying rate period and reducing drying rate period according to the temperature of hot water which is the experimental parameters of present experiment. As the results, it took about 20 hours for material to reach about 18% of the final moisture content is order to store products for a long time about 450% of the early moisture content at the beginning of drying and maximum drying rate comes to about 0.30 kg/m2hr at about 350% of the moisture content.
