We are developing a shared remote control mobile robot for aerial work in nuclear power plants (NPPs); a robot consists of a mobile platform, a telescopic mast, and a dual-arm slave with a working tool. It is used at a high location operating the manual operation mechanism of a fuel changer of a heavy water NPP. The robot system can cut/weld a pipe remotely in the case of an emergency or during the dismantling of the NPP. Owing to the challenging control mission considering limited human operator cognitive capability, some remote tasks require a shared control scheme, which demands systematic software design and integration. Therefore, we designed the architecture of the software systematically.

Developed in the study is the analysis of human factors involved in accidents of Korean Construction Projects. The 556 cases are sampled from a survey material 'Serious Accident Cases in the Construction Projects' edited by Korea Industrial Safety Corporation in 1995 through 1997. The analysis of these cases shows that existing classification system is not good for practical applications in real spots since they are difficult for engineers to understand. In this paper, human factors are classified into three groups by extracting the analysis and arrangement of the cases. Futhermore, We'll propose here a new type of accident which is subdivided. If engineers use this type of accident, they will be probably able to analyze efficiently human factors which are involved in accidents and relatied with how it happen. In the case of fall and upset accidents, personal factors seem to be critical when workers are horizontally moving in an unstable manner, and vertically moving without boarding facilities. Futhermore work environmental factors are important when workers release some materials and are performing building and dismantling tasks.

자동차 폐차사업자들은 대부분 소규모로 영세하게 운영되고 있으며, 비효율적인 폐차 프로세스로 인해 폐차 소유자는 물론 폐차처리장까지 불이익을 받고 있다. 이를 위한 폐차 시스템에 대한 연구가 국내외에서 활발히 진행되고 있다. 하지만 기존에 개발되어진 폐차 해체시스템의 경우는 국내 폐차업계에 적용하기에는 경제적, 실용적으로 현실성이 부족하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 폐차에 대한 효율성 극대화와 범용성 확보를 위해 시뮬레이션을 통한 폐자동차 해체시스템을 개발하고자 한다. 시뮬레이션을 통한 폐차 해체시스템의 사용은 복잡한 공정 또는 시스템의 설계 및 운영결과에 대한 효율적 분석이 가능하며, 다양한 위치 및 작업내용을 변경시켜 여러 대안을 마련할 수 있고, 이에 대한 결과를 미리 알아봄으로써 적은 시간과 비용으로 현장상황에 맞는 적절한 시스템을 구축할 수 있게 해주는 장점이 있다. 또한 최적 해체경로 시스템의 적용으로 시스템의 효율을 향상시켰다. 개발되어질 시스템은 높은 범용성 및 유연성 확보로 국내 폐차 업계의 발전에 크게 이바지 할 것이다.

Considering the situation in the early 20th century when the existing urban system centered on urban areas began to change, the biggest factors causing urban structural changes in urban areas are construction of railroad and urban dismantling. The change process of Eupseong, in the microscopic viewpoint, can be understood as a process of change in the course of dismantlement of town's demarcation, improvement of accessibility and urban expansion due to the construction of railroads, process of urban expansion following the crumbling boundaries and structural changes. This study aimed to look at the transformation process of the Eupseong in the early 20th century, focusing on the demolition of the castle and the railway construction from a microscopic point of view of city.

Since concrete is contaminated or radioactive during operation of nuclear power plants, it is the most important radioactive waste generated during the dismantling of a nuclear power plant. The amount of waste is different depending on the pollution state of each facility and the applied technology is different, so there is a big difference. We aim to reduce the amount of waste and increase the value of recyclability through technology to remove radionuclides attached to the surface. For this purpose, laser scabbling, which exfoliates the surface of concrete by irradiating a laser, and a facility system for controlling dust and dust are used in parallel. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficiency of laser scabbling by manufacturing simulated concrete for nuclear facilities, and to review the optimal mixing design conditions for nuclear facility structures.

Electrochemical decontamination process has been applied for recycle or self disposal with authorization of large amount of metallic wastes contaminated with uranium compounds such as $UO_2$, ammonium uranyl carbonate (AUC), ammonium di-uranate (ADU), and uranyl nitrate(UN) with tributylphosphate(TBP) and dodecane, which are generated by dismantling the contaminated system components and equipment of a retired uranium conversion plant in Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI). Electrochemical decontamination for metallic wastes contaminated with uranium compounds was evaluated through the experiments on the electrolytic dissolution of stainless steel as the material of the system components in neutral salt electrolytes. The effects of type of neutral salt as the electrolyte, current density, and concentration of electrolyte on the dissolution of the materials were evaluated. Decontamination performance tests using the specimens taken from a uranium conversion plant were quite successful with the application electrochemical decontamination conditions obtained through the basic studies on the electrolytic dissolution of structural material of the system components.

The passive scattering system nozzle of the proton therapy accelerator was simulated to evaluate the neutrons generated by each component in each nozzle by energy. The Monte Carlo N-Particle code was used to implement spread out Bragg peak with proton energy 220 MeV, reach 20 cm, and 6 cm length used in the treatment environment. Among the proton accelerator components, neutrons were the highest in scatterers, and the neutron flux decreased as it moved away from the central flux of the proton. This study can be used as a basic data for the evaluation of the radiation necessary for the maintenance and dismantling of proton accelerators.

Recently environmental pollution and resource depletion have been rapidly progressing in the world. Construction Industries discharge tones of wastes and consumes heavy resource as compared with the production activities of other industries, so it is the main reason of increasing of the Earth's environment. In Korea, as people become aware of the need of technical and institutional infrastructure for the recycling of construction wastes, they manage Allbraro system which is Total Management System in the wastes. Therefore, they promote the handling of standardized information, processing construction waste of transparency procure and promotion of the efficiency of task about the disposal of occurrence and movement of real-time construction waste. However, objective information for dismantling building did not construct in the organization of the system, so the emission of system randomly produces and discharges information of the waste. Because of that reasons, the exact value of waste abandonment is difficult to measure and recycling after waste disposal has the limit point. Therefore, in this study, advantages and disadvantages of the existing waste management system are analyzed, and we improved solution of construction building and environment of the city when BIM / GIS are utilized.

In the construction sector, there were 99 fatalities from falls associated with steel tube and system scaffolds for three years from 2016 to 2018 and out of which 27.3 percent (27 workers) were found to have occurred during installing and dismantling procedure. To erect scaffolding which is installed for the work at height, the work platforms are generally installed first and the safety guardrails are installed and vice versa to dismantle. As a result, workers are exposed to the risk of falling because they erect and dismantle scaffolding without guardrails. To minimize the risk of falling, it is necessary to study a new construction method that can erect or dismantle scaffolding while guardrails are installed (called advanced guardrail system). This study analyzed advanced guardrail system in terms of safety regulation, workability and economic efficiency by investigating the domestic situation on the use of scaffolding, reviewing domestic and foreign standards for guardrails and conducting economic feasibility study. The results of this study is expected to greatly contribute to preventing falls in scaffolding installation and dismantlement procedure. As a follow-up study, empirical research is required including physical test of scaffolding with advanced guardrail system and effectiveness analysis after trial applications.

The thesis is a comparative analysis of Infill Technologies between Korea's long-life Mock-up House, a study driven by 'Durability and Flexibility of Long-life Housing Technology Development' of R&D, and Japan's KSI experimental house, the major example of Japan's long-llfe housing. In terms of the domestic Mock-up House, a system of building the floor first was applied. The floor material of each housing unit required a development of dry heating component that is partially substitutable in order to avoid conflict with the finishing. Also, a development of a floor system that can counteract against the construction inaccuracy was required. In the Case of an outer wall, need to make the wall with the chassis. In the case of ceiling, need to develop the double ceiling system which is good for sound insulation. Also, in comparison to KSI experimental house in Japan, it would require to develop a wiring system of the ceiling which can react to the movement of the wall. Especially, to assure the flexible nature of an internal wall, it would desperately require the research and development of the products related to components and flexible system of mechanical/electrical/communication parts as well as supporting institutionalized system for this development. Furthermore, for KSI experimental house in Japan, it would be necessary to formulate a construction manual as well as a systematic and practical planning guide to invent a new interface rule which will secure simplicity of assembling, dismantling, installation and replacement of architectural components for which research development is quite insignificant at the moment. This effort will have to continue to give a solid direction for better application of such reference manual during construction and development of long life span apartment by public sector as well as private corporations.
