본 글은 영국의 채널4라는 방송사의 설립의 역사적 배경, 이론적 배경 그리고, 그 재정과 경영문제, 나아가 실제 외주제작 과정에 이르는 모든 주요 이슈들을 심층 연구한 것이다. 다채널.다매체 시대를 실현시켜주는 가장 중요한 축으로서의 컨텐츠 문제가 지속적으로 해결되지 않고 있는 한국의 상황에서 모든 프로그램을 외주제작 프로그램으로 방영하는 출판형 방송사인 채널4가 하나의 대안을 제시할 수 있다고 생각했기 때문이다. 채널4는 기존의 방송제도내에서는 해결될 수 없는 다양한 소수집단의 이해를 반영하고 실험정신이 강한 프로그램을 편성함으로써 방송의 다양성을 실현해야 한다는 임무를 가지고 태어났다. 이러한 임무를 실현하기 위해서는 새로운 채널을 기존 방송사가 운영하지 말고 독립제작사를 비롯한 다양한 집단에 의한 참여가 가능한 방식을 찾아야 한다고 보았던 것이다. 이 결과로서 채널4는 스스로 제작은 하지 않으면서 프로그램을 구입하거나 외주제작하는 과정을 통해 방송하는 출판사형 방송사로 운영되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 외주제작 과정에 대한 문제를 집중 조명함으로써 현재 경직되어 있는 우리나라 외주제작시장에 시사점을 찾고자하였으며, 동시에 채널4의 재정과 경영상태 분석을 통해 이상적인 방송에 대한 현실적인 구현방안에 대해서도 배울 바를 찾고자 하였다.

This work reports the acceptance testing and commissioning experience of the Robotic Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) M6 system with a newly released $InCise^{TM}2$ Multileaf Collimator (MLC) installed at the Yonsei Cancer Center. Acceptance testing included a mechanical interdigitation test, leaf positional accuracy, leakage check, and End-to-End (E2E) tests. Beam data measurements included tissue-phantom ratios (TPRs), off-center ratios (OCRs), output factors collected at 11 field sizes (the smallest field size was $7.6mm{\times}7.7mm$ and largest field size was $115.0mm{\times}100.1mm$ at 800 mm source-to-axis distance), and open beam profiles. The beam model was verified by checking patient-specific quality assurance (QA) in four fiducial-inserted phantoms, using 10 intracranial and extracranial patient plans. All measurements for acceptance testing satisfied manufacturing specifications. Mean leaf position offsets using the Garden Fence test were found to be $0.01{\pm}0.06mm$ and $0.07{\pm}0.05mm$ for X1 and X2 leaf banks, respectively. Maximum and average leaf leakages were 0.20% and 0.18%, respectively. E2E tests for five tracking modes showed 0.26 mm (6D Skull), 0.3 mm (Fiducial), 0.26 mm (Xsight Spine), 0.62 mm (Xsight Lung), and 0.6 mm (Synchrony). TPRs, OCRs, output factors, and open beams measured under various conditions agreed with composite data provided from the manufacturer to within 2%. Patient-specific QA results were evaluated in two ways. Point dose measurements with an ion chamber were all within the 5% absolute-dose agreement, and relative-dose measurements using an array ion chamber detector all satisfied the 3%/3 mm gamma criterion for more than 90% of the measurement points. The Robotic IMRT M6 system equipped with the $InCise^{TM}2$ MLC was proven to be accurate and reliable.

발전소 유닛마스터제어(UMC)용 시뮬레이터는 국내 및 해외에서 운전원 훈련 목적으로 개발되어 왔다. 일반적으로 UMC 시뮬레이터는 발전소 건설 마지막에 구축되는데, UMC 로직은 발전설비 내에 있는 많은 신호들 간의 간섭사항들을 사전에 확인하기 위해 시뮬레이션이 필수적으로 필요하지만 공정 일정 차이로 인하여 플랜트 로직 설계자나 시운전 엔지니어들이 UMC 로직을 시뮬레이션 하기는 쉽지 않다. 이러한 배경으로 본 논문에서는 발전소 로직 설계자와 운전원들이 매틀랩에서 제공하는 시뮬링크 환경에서 손쉽게 구현할 수 있는 시뮬레이션 방법을 제안한다. UMC의 핵심기능이 수학적 분석과 기능 블록 조합이 기본으로 구성된 독특한 시뮬레이션 알고리즘을 통해 구현된다. 또한, 로직 내 설비 목표값 제어를 위해 정수기반 구성도가 제안된다. 이러한 시뮬레이션 기법들을 통해 부하 분배, 상 하한치 제한, 주파수 보상 등의 기능들이 시뮬링크 내에서 성공적으로 구현될 수 있음을 보이고, 결과적으로 우리는 UMC 로직을 플랜트 시뮬레이터 없이도 시뮬링크에서 구현할 수 있음을 보인다. 본 논문에서 제시한 다양한 시뮬레이션 기법들은 발전소 건설 기간 중 플랜트 로직 설계자 또는 시운전 엔지니어들을 위한 시뮬링크 기반의 시뮬레이션 설계 관련한 양질의 정보를 제공할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

After more than 10 years construction, KSTAR (Korea Superconducting Tokamak Advanced Research) had finally completed its assembly in June 2007, and then achieved the goal of first-plasma in July 2008 through the four month's commissioning. KSTAR was constructed with fully superconducting magnets with material of $Nb_3Sn$ and NbTi, and their operation temperatures are maintained below 4.5K by the help of Helium Refrigerator System. During the first-plasma operation, plasmas of maximum current of 133kA and maximum pulse width of 865ms were obtained. The KSTAR Integrated Control System (KICS) has successfully fulfilled its missions of surveillance, device operation, machine protection interlock, and data acquisition and management. These and more were all KSTAR commissioning requirements. For reliable and safe operation of KSTAR, 17 local control systems were developed. Those systems must be integrated into the logically single control system, and operate regardless of their platforms and location installed. In order to meet these requirements, KICS was developed as a network-based distributed system and adopted a new framework, named as EPICS (Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System). Also, KICS has some features in KSTAR operation. It performs not only 24 hour continuous plant operation, but the shot-based real-time feedback control by exchanging the initiatives of operation between a central controller and a plasma control system in accordance with the operation sequence. For the diagnosis and analysis of plasma, 11 types of diagnostic system were implemented in KSTAR, and the acquired data from them were archived using MDSpius (Model Driven System), which is widely used in data management of fusion control systems. This paper will cover the design and implementation of the KSTAR integrated control system and the data management and visualization systems. Commissioning results will be introduced in brief.

Purpose: Elekta synergy^® was commissioned in the Seoul National University Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital. Recently, Chung-Ang University Gwang Myeong Hospital commissioned Elekta Versa HD^TM. The beam characteristics of both machines are similar because of the same Agility^TM MLC Model. We compared measured beam data calculated using the Elekta treatment planning system, Monaco^®, for each institute. Methods: Beam of the commissioning Elekta linear accelerator were measured in two independent institutes. After installing the beam model based on the measured beam data into the Monaco^®, Monte Carlo (MC) simulation data were generated, mimicking the beam data in a virtual water phantom. Measured beam data were compared with the calculated data, and their similarity was quantitatively evaluated by the gamma analysis. Results: We compared the percent depth dose (PDD) and off-axis profiles of 6 MV photon and 6 MeV electron beams with MC calculation. With a 3%/3 mm gamma criterion, the photon PDD and profiles showed 100% gamma passing rates except for one inplane profile at 10 cm depth from VMTH. Gamma analysis of the measured photon beam off-axis profiles between the two institutes showed 100% agreement. The electron beams also indicated 100% agreement in PDD distributions. However, the gamma passing rates of the off-axis profiles were 91%-100% with a 3%/3 mm gamma criterion. Conclusions: The beam and their comparison with MC calculation for each institute showed good performance. Although the measuring tools were orthogonal, no significant difference was found.

Korea Pathfinder Lunar Orbiter (KPLO) is South Korea's first space exploration mission, developed by the Korea Aerospace Research Institute. It aims to develop technologies for lunar exploration, explore lunar science, and test new technologies. KPLO was launched on August 5, 2022, by a Falcon-9 launch vehicle from cape canaveral space force station (CCSFS) in the United States and placed on a ballistic lunar transfer (BLT) trajectory. A total of four trajectory correction maneuvers were performed during the approximately 4.5-month trans-lunar cruise phase to reach the Moon. Starting with the first lunar orbit insertion (LOI) maneuver on December 16, the spacecraft performed a total of three maneuvers before arriving at the lunar mission orbit, at an altitude of 100 kilometers, on December 27, 2022. After entering lunar orbit, the commissioning phase validated the operation of the mission mode, in which the payload is oriented toward the center of the Moon. After completing about one month of commissioning, normal mission operations began, and each payload successfully performed its planned mission. All of the spacecraft operations that KPLO performs from launch to normal operations were designed through the system operations design process. This includes operations that are automatically initiated post-separation from the launch vehicle, as well as those in lunar transfer orbit and lunar mission orbit. Key operational procedures such as the spacecraft's initial checkout, trajectory correction maneuvers, LOI, and commissioning were developed during the early operation preparation phase. These procedures were executed effectively during both the early and normal operation phases. The successful execution of these operations confirms the robust verification of the system operation.
