Most of irradiated graphite that should be disposed comes from moderators and reflectors of nuclear power plants. The quantity of irradiated graphite could be higher in the future if high-temperature reactors (HTRs) will be deployed. In this case noteworthy quantities of fuel pebbles containing semi-graphitic carbonaceous material should be added to the already existing 250,000 tons of irradiated graphite. Industry graphite is largely used in industrial applications for its high thermal and electrical conductivity and thermal and chemical resistance, making it a valuable material. Irradiated graphite constitutes a waste management challenge owing to the presence of long-lived radionuclides, such as ¹⁴C and ³⁶Cl. In the ENEA Nuclear Material Characterization Laboratory it has been successfully designed a procedure based on the exfoliation process organic solvent assisted, with the purpose of investigate the possibility of achieving graphite significantly less toxic that could be recycled for other purpose [1]. The objective of this paper is to evaluate the possibility of the scalability from laboratory to industrial dimensions of the exfoliation process and provide the prototype of a chemical plant for the treatment of irradiated graphite.

PURPOSE. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of 3 silicone primers and 3 surface characterization of acrylic resin surface on bond strength between silicone elastomer and acrylic resin. MATERIALS AND METHODS. 96 Cosmesil silicones bonded to heat-curing acrylic resin were fabricated with the dimension of $75{\times}10{\times}3$ mm. The 3 primers used in this study were G611 platinum primer, A-330 Gold platinum primer, and cyanoacrylates resin. Specimens without primer were used as control. The 3 types of surface characterization done were retentive holes with 1.5 mm in diameter and 0.5 mm deep, retentive beads of 0.6 mm diameter and the third type which was plain without any characterization. The specimens were then checked for bond strength by subjecting them to $180^{\circ}$ peel test on a universal testing machine. The obtained results were then subjected to statistical analysis using 2-way ANOVA and Scheff$\acute{e}$ multiple post hoc procedures. The statistical significance was set at 5% level of significance. RESULTS. The maximum bond strength was seen for samples in which A-330G primer was used followed by G611 primer. The control group showed the minimum bond strength. Surface characterization of retentive holes increased the bond strength considerably as compared to retentive beads and samples without any surface characterization. CONCLUSION. Within the limitations of the study, A-330G primer was more compatible with Cosmesil M511 silicone and has better bonding of Cosmesil to acrylic resin. Retentive holes made on acrylic surface increased the bond strength considerably than those without any surface characterization.

Characterization tests (load vs. displacement curve) are conducted for the springs of Zirconium alloy spacer grids for an advanced LWR fuel assembly. Twofold testing is employed: strap-based and assembly-based tests. The assembly-based test satisfies the in situ boundary conditions of the spring within the grid assembly. The aim of the characterization test via the aforementioned two methods is to establish an appropriate assembly-based test method that fulfills the actual boundary conditions. A characterization test under the spacer grid assembly boundary condition is also conducted to investigate the actual behavior of the spring in the core. The stiffness of the characteristic curve is smaller than that of the strap-wised boundary condition. This phenomenon may cause the strap slit condition. A spacer grid consists of horizontal and vertical straps. The strap slit positions are differentiated from each other. They affords examination of the variation of the external load distribution in the grid spring. Localized legions of high stress and their values are analyzed, as they may be affected by the spring shape. Through a comparison of the results of the test and FE analysis, it is concluded that the present assembly-based analysis model and procedure are reasonably well conducted and can be used for spring characterization in the core. Guidelines for improving the mechanical integrity of the spring are also discussed.

최근 유비쿼터스 컴퓨팅의 관심이 증대되면서, 방대하고 다양한 형태의 데이터에 대한 효율성과 효과성을 고려한 지식 탐사연구의 필요성이 요구된다. 공간 특성화 방법은 공간과 비공간 속성들을 고려하여 특성화 지식을 발견하는 방법으로, 기존의 특성화 방법을 확장하여 공간 영역에 대한 다양한 형태의 지식을 발견할 수 있다. 기존 공간 특성화기법에 대한 연구들은 다음과 같은 문제점을 가진다. 첫째, 기존의 연구는 탐사된 지식의 결과가 다각적인 공간 분석을 수행하지 못하는 문제점을 가진다 둘째, 공간 탐색 시 사용자에 의해 미리 정해진 위치 영역만을 고려하여 탐색함으로 유용한 지식탐사를 보장하지 못하는 문제점을 가진다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 밀도 기반의 클러스터링이 적용된 새로운 공간 특성화기법을 제안한다.

대도시의 인구집중과 환경문제에 대한 관심의 고조에 따른 환경배출기준의 강화로 환경처리시설에서 배출되는 슬러지의 양은 매년 급증하고 있는 실정이다. 2003년부터는 하수처리 슬러지의 매립지에의 직매립을 금지하고 있을 뿐만 아니라, 2012년부터는 해양투기 또한 전면 금지됨에 따라 육상에서의 자원화 혹은 감량화 등을 통한 소각, 퇴비화 등의 방법으로 처분해야 하는 실정이다. 그러나 이들 슬러지의 성상은 슬러지발생원, 발생 시기, 처리공정 등에 따라 그 성상이 다양하게 변하는 특성을 가지므로 슬러지처리, 재활용 및 처분방법을 결정하는데 있어서 슬러지성상에 대한 평가가 중요하게 작용한다. 이를 위하여 물리화학적 처리, 생물학적처리 등 서로 다른 처리방법에 의해 발생되는 슬러지의 성상평가방법을 표준화할 필요성이 크다고 하겠다. 그러나 아직까지 우리나라에서는 표준화된 슬러지 성상평가방법이 제정되어 있지 않다. 본 총설에서는 우리나라의 슬러지 성상평가방법에 관한 현황과 문제점 등을 파악하고, 독일 등 선진국의 사례를 바탕으로 적절한 슬러지의 재활용과 처분을 위한 우리나라에 적합한 15가지 항목의 표준화된 슬러지 성상평가방법을 제시하고자 하였다.

Radioactive waste generated from nuclear power plant decommissioning shall be strictly managed so that radioactive materials above the allowable limit are not leaked into the environment. Radioactive wastes shall be classified and treated for management based on characteristics such as the type of waste, physicochemical properties, nuclide concentration and radioactivity. Waste characterization report shall be prepared and submitted to the disposal facility operator to ensure that the treated waste is suitable for disposal. The disposal facility operator shall review the waste Characterization report and visit the nuclear power plant decommissioning site to ensure that the wastes are processed step by step according to the plan. The waste Characterization report may be used as input data to evaluate disposal facility safety. Domestic and foreign data are collected and reviewed to confirm the entire processes from waste generation to delivery. This paper proposes the method to prepare the waste Characterization report which contains data and information on waste characteristics, treatment facilities & method and packaging method & container.

A well-established characterization method is required in powder bed fusion (PBF) metal additive manufacturing, where metal powder is used. The characterization methods from the traditional powder metallurgy process are still being used. However, it is necessary to develop advanced methods of property evaluation with the advances in additive manufacturing technology. In this article, the characterization methods of powders for metal PBF are reviewed, and the recent research trends are introduced. Standardization status and specifications for metal powder for the PBF process which published by the ISO, ASTM, and MPIF are also covered. The establishment of powder characterization methods are expected to contribute to the metal powder industry and the advancement of additive manufacturing technology through the creation of related databases.
