Due to the occasional occurrences of stress corrosion cracking(SCC) in steam generator tubing(Alloy 600), degraded tubes are removed from service by plugging or are repaired for re-use. Since electrodeposition inside a tube does not entail parent tube deformation, residual stress in the tube can be minimized. In this work, tube restoration via electrodeposition inside a steam generator tubing was performed after developing the following: an anode probe to be installed inside a tube, a degreasing condition to remove dirt and grease, an activation condition for surface oxide elimination, a tightly adhered strike layer forming condition between the electro forming layer and the Alloy 600 tube, and the condition for an electroforming layer. The reliability of the electrodeposited material, with a variation of material properties, was evaluated as a function of the electrodeposit position in the vertical direction of a tube using the developed anode. It has been noted that the variation of the material properties along the electrodeposit length was acceptable in a process margin. To improve the reliability of a material property, the causes of the variation occurrence were presumed, and an attempt to minimize the variation has been made. A Ni alloy electrodeposition process is suggested as a primary water stress corrosion cracking(PWSCC) mitigation method for various components, including steam generator tubes. The Ni alloy electrodeposit formed inside a tube by using the installed assembly shows proper material properties as well as an excellent SCC resistance.

Operating experience of steam generators shows that the tubes are degraded by stress corrosion cracking, fretting wear and so on. These defected tubes could stay in service if it is proved that the tubes have sufficient structural margin to preclude the risk of tube bursting. This paper provides detailed plastic limit pressure solutions for through-wall cracks in the steam generator tubes. These are developed based on three dimensional(3D) finite element analyses assuming elastic-perfectly plastic material behavior. Both axial and circumferential through-wall cracks in free span and in u-bend regions are considered. The resulting limit pressure solutions are given in a polynomial form, and thus can be simply used in practical integrity assessment of the steam generator tubes.

This paper provides the evaluation method for the pressure vessel with internal wall-thinning defect, which is based on ASME design criteria. Pressure vessel has wall-thinning partially and patch reinforcement has been attached for reliable operating. However, present partial wall thinning could be through wall thinning at the next inspection time with present corrosion progress speed. Therefore safety margin was calculated for various conditions from present wall-thinning condition to additive patch reinforced condition via two-dimensional and three-dimensional, geometrically linear FE analyses using elastic materials.

Statement of problem: The titanium has advantages of a high biocompatibility, a corrosion resistence, low density, and cheep price, so it is focused as a substituted alloy But it is quite difficult to cast with the tranditional method due to the high melting point, reacivity with element at, elevated temperature. By using the CAD-CAM system for the crown construction, it is possible to reduce the errors while proceeding the wax-up, investing, and casting procedure Purpose: The purposes of this study were to measure the marginal adaptation of the casting titanium coping and machine-milled titanium coping according to the casting methods and the marginal configurations. Material and method: The marginal configurations were used chamfer shoulder, and beveled shoulder. The total 30 copings were used, and these are divided into 6 groups according to the manufacturing method and marginal configuration. The gap between margin of the model and the restoration was measured with 3-dimensional measuring microscope. Results: The following results were obtained; 1. casting gold coping demonstrated the best marginal seal, followed by casting titanium coping finally machine-milled titanium copings. 2. In casting titanium coping, chamfer demonstrated the best marginal seal, followed by shoulder and beveled shoulder. There was no significantly difference in shoulder and beveled shoulder. But all margin form has clinically acceptable 3. In machine-milled titanium copings, chamfer demonstrated the best marginal seal, followed by shoulder and beveled shoulder. Beveled shoulder show large and uneven marginal gap Conclusions: Above result revealed that marginal adaptation of the titanim coping is avail able in the clinical range, it can be used as an alternative metal and it is prefered especially in chamfer or shoulder margin during implant superstructure fabrication. But there should be more research on machine-milled titanium in order to use it in the clinics.

A cycle analysis was achieved to predict the characteristics by comprehensive modeling and simulation of an air-cooled, double-effect absorption system using a new $H_2O/LiBr+HO(CH_2)_3OH$ solution. The simulation results showed that the new working fluid may provide the crystallization limit 8% higher than the conventional $H_2O/LiBr$ solution. With a crystallization margin of 3wt%(weight%), the optimal solution distribution ratio was found in the range of 36 to 40%. Variation of cooling air Inlet temperature has a sensitive effect on the cooling COP and corrosion problem. The simulation of heat exchangers with UA value revealed that the absorber and the evaporator are relatively important for an air-cooled system compared with the condenser and the low temperature generator. The effect of cooling air flow rate, circulation weak solution flow rate and chilled water inlet temperature were also examined. The new working fluid may provide the COP approximately 5% higher than the conventional $H_2O/LiBr$ solution.

The CRUD on the fuel cladding under the pressurized water reactor (PWR) operating condition causes several issues. The CRUD can act as thermal resistance and increases the local cladding temperature which accelerate the corrosion process. The hideout of boron inside the CRUD results in axial offset anomaly and reduces the plant's shutdown margin. Recently, there are efforts to revise the acceptance criteria of emergency core cooling systems (ECCS), and additionally require the modeling of the thermal resistance effect of the CRUD during the performance analysis. There is an urgent need for the evaluation of the effect of the CRUD deposition on the cladding heat transfer under PWR operating conditions, but the experimental database is very limited. The experimental facility called DISNY was designed and constructed to analyze the CRUD-related multi-physical phenomena, and the performance analysis of the constructed DISNY facility was conducted. The thermal-hydraulic and water chemistry conditions to simulate the CRUD growth under PWR operating conditions were established. The design characteristics and feasibility of the DISNY facility were validated by the MARS-KS code analysis and separate performance tests. In the current study, detailed design features, design validation results, and future utilization plans of the proposed DISNY facility are presented.

아말감은 널리 사용되어 온 대표적 치과재료이지만 치질과의 접착성이 없어 와동의 형태에 의해 유지되는 단점을 가진다. 아말감 수복물은 산화물에 의한 변연봉쇄가 일어나기 전까지 초기에 큰 미세누출을 보이며 수복초기에 이를 적절하게 예방하지 않으면 타액이나 미생물이 와동내에 침투하게 되고 이로 인해 수복 후의 과민반응, 충전물의 용해 및 파괴, 변연 변색과 2차 우식이 유발되어, 결과적으로 수복물의 수명이 단축되며 치수 병변이 발생될 수도 있다. 최근 기존 아말감 수복의 장점을 그대로 유지하면서 치질삭제를 줄이고 변연을 봉쇄하며 소와열구에 예방적 처치를 함께 할 수 있는 수복법이 제안되었는데 이를 이른바 sealed amalgam이라 한다. 이 술식은 예방적 확대 없이 병소만을 제거한 뒤 수복물 변연과 인접 소와열구에 치면열구전색재를 도포함으로서 소와열구의 예방적 충전은 물론 수복물 변연과 치질사이의 틈을 봉쇄하여 미세누출을 감소시킬 수 있다고 하였다. 이에 저자는 아말감 수복후 수복물의 마무리 처리와 전색재 적용시점을 달리 하여 sealed amalgam 수복과 기존의 아말감 수복과의 미세누출의 차이를 비교하고자 30개의 상, 하악 소구치를 준비하여 V급 와동을 소구치의 협, 설측에 형성하고 통상적 아말감 수복을 시행한 후 다음의 각 군으로 나누어 처리하였다. 제 1 군 : 24시간 후 연마 (대조군) 제 2 군 : 연마하지 않음, 즉시 전색재 적용 제 3 군 : 연마하지 않음, 열순환(thermocycling) 500회 후 전색재 적용 위의 처리 후 각 군을 $5^{\circ}C$와 $55^{\circ}C$의 온도변화를 30초씩 번갈아 주며 총 500회의 열순환을 실시한 후 1% methylene blue 용액에 침윤시켜서 100% 습도가 유지된 $37^{\circ}C$ 항온기에 24시간 보관하였다. 치아를 레진에 매몰한 후 협설측으로 치아 장축에 평행하게 절단하여 stereomicroscope를 사용해 색소침투도를 관찰하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 평균 미세누출은 연마하지 않고 바로 치면열구전색재를 도포한 2군이 가장 낮았고, 연마만 시행한 1군이 가장 높았다. 2. 실험군간의 미세누출 비교에서 연마만 시행한 1군은 2군에 비해 미세누출이 켰으며 통계적으로 유의성 있는 차이를 보였다(p<0.05). 3군은 1군보다 평균미세누출이 작았으나 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 없었다(p>0.05). 2군은 3군보다 평균 미세누출이 작았으나 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 없었다(p>0.05).
