The recent surge in the production and handling of hazardous materials in Korea necessitates developing and implementing robust emergency response plans. These plans are crucial in safeguarding the well-being of workers and residents in the event of an incident. The consequence analysis methodology outlined in the KOSHA guidelines provides a foundation for designing emergency response plans in the event of chemical accidents. However, the consequence analysis is evaluated based on assumed accident cases or worst-case scenarios. Consequently, the emergency response plan based on the consequence analysis may overestimate the damage area, complicating rescue efforts and unnecessarily increasing costs. More information and parameters become available after an accident, enabling more accurate consequence analysis. This implies that the results of consequence analysis based on this detailed information provide more realistic results than those based on assumed accidents. This study attempts to optimize the resource allocation and cost-effectiveness of emergency response plans for chemical accidents. Existing procedures and manuals are revised to elucidate the proposed model and conduct real-time consequence analysis. The existing emergency response plan is compared to verify the proposed model's efficacy. The obtained results indicate that the proposed model can exhibit better performance.

Consequence analysis of flammable materials that affect to a risk of facilities was studied at the risk based inspection using API-581. We found that consequence areas (damage area of equipment and fatality area) by release accident of flammable materials showed high value for the case of liquid phase and auto-ignition likely, and that consequence areas of flammable gases decreased as temperature increased and the pipe diameter and pressure decreased at continuous release.

During the last ten years, effort has been made for reducing maintenance cost for aged equipments and ensuring safety, efficiency and profitability of petrochemical and refinery plants. Hence, it was required to develop advanced methods which meet this need. RBI(Risk Based Inspection) methodology is one of the most promising technology satisfying the requirements in the field of integrity management. In this study, a qualitative assessment algorithm for RBI based on the API 581 code was reconstructed for developing an RBI software. The user-friendly realRBI software is developed with a module for evaluating qualitative risk category using the potential consequence factor and the likelihood factor.

모형론적 귀결 개념은 타르스키의 1936년 논문에 기원을 두고 있다고 보통 말한다. 하지만 에치멘디는 이를 부정한다. 이 논문은 1936년 논문에 나와 있는 타르스키의 정의가 과연 표준적인 모형론적 귀결 개념에서 받아들이는 것과는 다른 고정 도메인 견해에 기반을 둔 것인지 아니면 그것과 같은 가변 도메인 견해에 기반을 둔 것인지를 둘러싸고 전개된 논란을 다룬다.

For an off-site consequence analysis at nuclear power plant, MELCOR Accident Consequence Code System(MACCS) II code is widely used as a software tool. In this study, the algorithm of web-based off-site consequence analysis program(OSCAP) using the MACCS II code was developed for an Integrated Leak Rate Test (ILRT) interval extension and Level 3 probabilistic safety assessment(PSA), and verification and validation(V&V) of the program was performed. The main input data for the MACCS II code are meteorological, population distribution and source term information. However, it requires lots of time and efforts to generate the main input data for an off-site consequence analysis using the MACCS II code. For example, the meteorological data are collected from each nuclear power site in real time, but the formats of the raw data collected are different from each site. To reduce the efforts and time for risk assessments, the web-based OSCAP has an automatic processing module which converts the format of the raw data collected from each site to the input data format of the MACCS II code. The program also provides an automatic function of converting the latest population data from Statistics Korea, the National Statistical Office, to the population distribution input data format of the MACCS II code. For the source term data, the program includes the release fraction of each source term category resulting from modular accident analysis program(MAAP) code analysis and the core inventory data from ORIGEN. These analysis results of each plant in Korea are stored in a database module of the web-based OSCAP, so the user can select the defaulted source term data of each plant without handling source term input data.

독성가스의 누출은 공정설비의 위험도에 크게 영향을 미친다. 본 연구에서는 API-581에 의한 위험기반검사에서 매개변수의 변화에 따른 독성가스(암모니아 및 염소 가스)의 누출사고 결과를 분석하였다. 그 결과, 독성물질의 누출에 의한 사고결과, 즉 독성 피해영역은 온도가 증가할수록, 그리고 압력과 파이프 직경이 감소할수록 감소하였으며, 동일한 누출조건에서 암모니아 보다 염소가스인 경우에 큰 값을 나타내었다.

Assuring physical security for Micro Modular Reactors (MMRs) will be key to their licensing. Economic constraints however require changes in how the security objectives are achieved for MMRs. A promising new approach is the so-called performance based (PB) approach wherein the regulator formally sets general security objectives and leaves it to the licensee to set their own specific acceptance criteria to meet those objectives. To implement the PB approach for MMRs, one performs a consequence-based analysis (CBA) whose objective is to study hypothetical malicious attacks on the facility, assuming that intruders take control of the facility and perform any technically possible action within a limited time before an offsite security force can respond. The scenario leading to the most severe radiological consequences is selected and studied to estimate the limiting impact on public health. The CBA estimates the total amount of radionuclides that would be released to the atmosphere in this hypothetical scenario to determine the total radiation dose to which the public would be exposed. The predicted radiation exposure dose is then compared to the regulatory dose limit for the site. This paper describes application of the CBA to four different MMRs technologies.

This paper proposes the concept and the general framework of the risk-based seismic design. Because earthquakes and the behaviors of structures are very unpredictable, probabilistic seismic design methods have been proposed after deterministic design methods. Considering these changes, we can find that the important point of seismic design is not the structural behavior itself, but the consequence of structural behavior under possible earthquakes. Risk-based seismic design can tell these consequences under any earthquakes. In this paper, structural confidences are considered by using fragility curve, and risk is modeled by failure probability and consequence-property damage cost, casualty cost.

한국가스안전공사는 진단 기반기술 국산화와 진단 역량 강화를 위해 자체적인 피해영향평가 시스템을 구축하고 있다. 유사 프로그램인 DNV PHAST나 TNO EFFECTS와 달리, API-581 기준을 근간한 ETA 분석을 통해 최종 피해영역 산출 기법을 구현하였으며, HTML5 기반 차세대 웹 기술을 기반으로 편리한 사용자 인터페이스를 구축하였다. 또한, 혼합물질 분석이 가능하도록 3차 상태방정식(Peng-Robinson, SRK, RK)과 퓨게시티를 활용한 상평형 모듈이 구현되었고, 공기보다 무거운 가스에 대한 확산 분석을 위해 SLAB Dispersion 알고리즘을 적용하였다. CCPS와 TNO Yellow Book에서 소개된 피해영향평가 알고리즘을 채용하여 누출분석 모듈, Fireball, Pool Fire, Jet Fire, Flash Fire, Vapor Cloud Explosion 영향 평가 모듈을 개발하였다. 그 외 EIGA 기준, PAC 기준 농도, Bevi Reference Book 등에서 제시된 기준 값들을 활용하여 안전거리 산출 조건을 마련하였다. 현재 전체 계산 모듈의 알고리즘 구현은 완료되었으며, 기본적인 사용자인터페이스 구축까지 완료되었다. 향후, 사용자 인터페이스 보완과 더불어, 모듈 각각에 대한 개별적인 검증과 동일한 사고 시나리오에 대한 유사 프로그램 구동 결과를 비교하여 전체 시스템의 정확도를 보완할 예정이다.
