Metal waste generated from the pyroprocessing of 10 MtU of spent fuel was classified by comparing the specific activity of a relevant radionuclide with the limit value of the specific activity specified in the Korean acceptance criteria for a lowand intermediate-level waste repository. A Korean Optimized Fuel Assembly design with a 17${\times}$17 array, an initial enrichment of 4.5 weight-percent, discharge burn-up of 55 GWD/MtU, and a 10-year cooling time was considered. Initially, the mass and volume of each structural component of the assembly were calculated in detail, and a source term analysis was subsequently performed using ORIGEN-S for these components. An activation cross-section library generated by the KENO-VI/ORIGEN-S module was utilized for top-end and bottom-end pieces. As a result, an Inconel grid plate, a SUS plenum spring, a SUS guide tube subpart, SUS top-end and bottom-end pieces, and an Inconel top-end leaf spring were determined to be unacceptable for the Gyeongju low- and intermediate-level waste repository, as these waste products exceeded the acceptance criteria. In contrast, a Zircaloy grid plate and guide tube can be placed in the Gyeongju repository. Non-contaminated Zircaloy cladding occupying 76% of the metal waste was found to have a lower level of specific activity than the limit value. However, Zircaloy cladding contaminated by fission products and actinides during the decladding process of pyroprocessing was revealed to have 52 and 2 times higher specific activity levels than the limit values for alpha and $^{90}Sr$, respectively. Finally, it was found that 88.7% of the metal waste from the 17${\times}$17 Korean Optimized Fuel Assembly design should be disposed of in a deep geological repository. Therefore, it can be summarized that separation technology with a higher decontamination factor for transuranics and strontium should be developed for the efficient management of metal waste resulting from pyroprocessing.

D하수처리장의 송풍량을 효과적으로 조절하는 시스템을 구축하기 위해 2011년 1월 1일부터 2012년 8월 31일까지 포기조 DO 농도를 평균 2.1 mg/L로 유지하면서 유입유량, 유입농도, 유입부하, 수온, F/M비, 생물반응조의 MLSS 농도 변화에 따른 송풍량 변화를 검토하였다. 그 결과 동일한 DO 농도를 유지하기 위한 송풍량 변화폭은 매우 크며, 송풍량 산정을 결정하는 주요 인자는 수온, F/M비, $BOD_5$ 유입 부하, T-N 유입 부하로 나타났다. 그 중 가장 큰 영향을 주는 지표는 수온으로 수온 $1^{\circ}C$ 증가는 $45.8m^3/h$의 송풍량을 증가시키는 것으로 나타났으며, 이는 계절의 영향이 반영된 것으로 사료 된다. 하절기에는 유입 유량증가, 낮은 MLSS농도, F/M비 증가의 영향과, 동절기에는 유입 유량감소, 높은 MLSS농도, F/M비 감소 등의 영향이 송풍량에 반영되어, 수온 변화에 따른 필요 송풍량 변화를 더욱 가중시킨 것으로 사료된다. 따라서 호기조 송풍량 산정 시에는 유입유량, 유입 $BOD_5$농도, 유입 T-N농도 및 생물반응조의 MLSS농도 중 하나의 인자를 이용하는 것보다, 유입부하나 F/M비로 연산하여 접근이 필요한 것으로 사료된다.

Impervious areas have been expanded by urbanization and the natural structure of water circulation has been destroyed. The limits of centralized management for controlling storm water runoff in urban areas have been suggested. Low impact development (LID) technologies have been promoted as a crucial alternative, establishing a connection with city development plans to build green infrastructures in environmentally friendly cities. Thus, the improvement of water circulation and the control of nonpoint source were simulated through XP-SWMM (storm water and wastewater management model for experts) in this study. The application of multiple LID combination practices with permeable pavements, bioretention cells, and gutter filters were observed as reducing the highest runoff volume by up to 70%. The results from four different LID installation scenarios indicated that permeable paving is the most effective method for reducing storm water runoff. The rate of storm water runoff volume reduced as the rainfall duration extended. Based on the simulation results, each LID facility was designed and constructed in the target area. The LID practices in an urban area enable future studies of the analysis of the criteria, suitable capacity, and cost-efficiency, and proper management methods of various LID techniques.

Over the past several years, sea trade have increased traffic by ships which highlighted a problem of unwanted species invading the surrounding seas through ship's ballast water discharge. Maritime trade volume has continuously increased worldwide and the problem still exists. The respective countries are spending billions of dollars in an effort to clean up the contamination and prevent pollution. As part of an effort to solve marine environmental problem, BWM(Ballast Water Management) convention was adopted at a diplomatic conference on Feb. 13 2004. In order to comply harmoniously this convention by each country. This convention will be effective after 12 months from the date which 30 countries ratified accounting for more than 35% of the world merchant shipping volume. On Sep. 8 2016, Finland ratified this convention and effective condition was satisfied as 52 states and world merchant vessel fleet 35.1441%. Thus, after Sep. 8 2017, all existing vessels shall be equipped with BWTS(Ballast Water Treatment System) in accordance with D-2 Regulation, which physically handles ballast water from ballast water exchange system(D-1 Regulation). In this study, we analyzed in detail the optimal design method using the Risk Analysis and Evaluation technique which is mainly used in the manufacturing factory or the risky work site comparing with the traditional design concept method applying various criteria. The Risk Assessment Method is a series of processes for finding the Risk Factors in the design process, analyzing a probility of the accident and size of the accident and then quantifying the Risk Incidence and finally taking measures. In this study, this method was carried out for Electrolysis treatment type on DWT 180K Bulk Carrier using "HAZOP Study" method among various methods. In the Electrolysis type, 63 hazardous elements were identified.

In the present study, the finite volume method is applied for the thermal performance prediction of the natural ventilation system using vertical solar chimney whereas, design parameters are optimized through the response surface methodology (RSM). The computational simulations are performed for various parameters of the solar chimney such as absorber temperature (40≤T_abs≤70℃), inlet temperature (20≤T₀≤30℃), inlet height of (0.1≤h≤0.2 m) and chimney width (0.1≤d≤0.2 m). Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was carried out to identify the design parameters that influence the average Nusselt number (Nu) and mass flow rate (ṁ). Then, quadratic polynomial regression models were developed to predict of all the response parameters. Consequently, numerical and graphical optimizations were performed to achieve multi-objective optimization for the desired criteria. According to the desirability function approach, it can be seen that the optimum objective functions are Nu=25.67 and ṁ=24.68 kg/h·m, corresponding to design parameters h=0.18 m, d=0.2 m, T_abs=46.81℃ and T₀=20℃. The optimal ventilation flow rate is enhanced by about 96.65% compared to the minimum ventilation rate, while solar energy consumption is reduced by 49.54% compared to the maximum ventilation rate.

복합말뚝(Composite Pile)이란, 수평력이 크게 작용하는 구간에는 강관말뚝, 작게 작용하는 구간에는 PHC말뚝을 특수한 연결 장치로 결합한 말뚝으로서 토목 구조물의 기초 재료로써 상용화되는 추세에 있다. 이러한 복합말뚝의 핵심은 강관말뚝과 PHC말뚝을 연결하는 연결 장치의 안정성과, 이음 위치를 산정하는 설계기준이라고 할 수 있는데 국내에서는 복합말뚝 이음부 위치에 대한 정확한 시방규정이 없어서, LH 설계처(한국토지주택공사, 2009)에서는 도로설계요령 제3권(한국도로공사, 2001)을 참고하여 작성한 "복합말뚝 설계적용 및 설계도서 표기 방안 검토"를 복합말뚝 설계의 기준으로 사용해 오고 있지만 복합말뚝의 단면변화라고 볼 수 없어 적용에 한계성을 가지고 있는 실정이다. 이에 따라 본 연구에서는 복합말뚝의 단면 변화부(강관말뚝과 PHC말뚝의 이음부) 위치에 대한 설계기준을 제안하고 이에 대한 안정성 및 경제성을 검토하고자 실험적인 방법과 해석적인 방법을 이용하여 연결장치에 대한 안정성을 검증하였으며, 국내 교량공사 교대 79개소에 시공된 복합말뚝 설계자료를 분석하여 말뚝 본체 및 이음부에 작용하는 응력, 휨모멘트, 변위 등의 경향성을 파악하였고, 개선식이 적용된 재설계 과정을 통해 이음부에서 발생한 응력들이 연결장치와 PHC말뚝의 허용응력 수치 내로 발생하는 것을 확인하였다. 결론적으로 사례분석을 통한 복합말뚝 이음위치의 설계 제안식은 복합말뚝을 설계함에 있어서 안정성과 경제성을 모두 고려한 개선된 설계기법임을 알 수 있었다.
