The multi-carrier transmission signal in Multi-Carrier Code Division Multiple Access (MC-CDMA) has a high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR), which results in nonlinear distortion and deteriorative system performance. An n-tuple selective mapping method is proposed to reduce the PAPR, in this paper. This method generates $2^n$ sequences of an original data sequence by adding n-tuple of n PAPR control bits to it followed by an interleaver and error-control code (ECC) to reduce its PAPR. The convolutional, Golay, and Hamming codes are used as ECCs in the proposed scheme. The proposed method uses different numbers of the n PAPR control bits to accomplish a noteworthy PAPR reduction and also avoids the need for a side-information transmission. The simulation results authenticate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

가압중수형 원자로의 원자로건물내 주중기관 파단사고는 냉각재 상실사고와는 달리 핵연료 건전성이 유지됨에도 불구하고 파단 부위를 통한 과도한 중기 방출에 따른 일차측 급냉 및 감압에 의하여 경수를 수원으로 사용하는 비상노심냉각 계통(Emergency Core Cooling System:ECCS)의 작동으로 인하여 일차측 중수의 규정농도가 규정치 98% 이하로 저하되어 교체 또는 승급을 요하는 막대한 경제적 손실을 초래 할 수 있다. 원자로건물내 주중기관 파단사고시 비상노심냉각계통의 작동을 방지 또는 지연시키기 위한 운전기법으로 이차측 급수의 차단을 고려하였다. 주증기관 파단크기 50% 이하 범위에서는 원자로 정지후 급수 차단을 통해 비상노심냉각계통 작동을 막을 수 있음이 평가되었다.

수격현상(Waterhammer)으로 인한 과도압력하중은 월성원자력발전소 비상노심냉각계통 (Emergency Core Cooling System : ECCS) 설계의 주요 고려사항이다. 비상노심냉각계통은 특수안전계통으로서 냉각재상실사고(Loss of Coolant Accident : LOCA)후 일차열수송계통을 다시 채워주고 핵연료 손상을 막기위해 노심으로부터 잔열 및 붕괴열을 제거한다. 일차열수송계통으로의 비상냉각수 주입은 고압주입, 중압주입, 저압주입 3 단계로 주입된다. 과도압력이 발생될 것으로 예상되는 고압주입과 중압주입에 대한 6가지 사례들이 ECCS의 배관과 지지대 설계를 위해 고려되었다. 모든 사례에 대한 비상노심냉각계통의 과도압력 현상은 PTRAN 코드에 의해 해석 되었고 해석된 최고과도압력은 설계압력보다 작음을 알게 되었다. 모든 사례의 최고압력과 최고차압은 비상노심냉각계통 배관 및 지지대 설계를 위한 응력해석 자료로서 사용될 것이다.

Error correcting codes (ECC) are widely used in all types of memory in industry, including caches and embedded memory. The focus in this paper is on studying of power consumption in memory ECCs circuitry that provides single error correcting and double error detecting (SEC-DED) designed by various evolution strategies. The methods are applied to two commonly used SEC-DED codes: Hamming and odd column weight Hsiao codes. Finally, we conduct some simulations to show the performance of the various methods.

The Korean Next Generation Reactor(KNGR) is a Pressurized Water Reactor adopting direct vessel injection(DVI) to optimize the performance of emergency core cooling system(ECCS). In a certain accident, however, pressurized thermal shock(PTS) of the vessel due to the sudden contact with the injected cold water is expected. In this paper, an accident of Main Steam Line Break(MSLB) has been numerically investigated with direct vessel injections and an increased volume flow rate in some cold legs. Using FLUENT code, temperature distributions of the fluid in the downcomer and of reactor vessel including the core region have been calculated, together with the distribution of convective heat transfer coefficient(CHTC) at the cladding surface of the reactor vessel. The result shows that some parts of the core region of the reactor vessel have higher temperature gradient expressing higher thermal stress.

In the nuclear power plant, emergency core coolant system(ECCS) is furnished at reactor coolant system(RCS) in order to cool down high temperature water in case of emergency. However, in this coolant system, thermal stratification phenomenon can be occurred due to coolant leaking in the check valve. The thermal stratification produces excessive thermal stresses at the pipe wall so as to yield thermal fatigue crack(TFC) accident. In the present study, when the turbulence penetration occurs in the branch piping, the maximum temperature differences of fluid at the pipe cross-sections of the T-branch with thermal stratification are examine

The Regulatory Guide 1.82 recommends an analysis of hydraulic performance for sump of ECCS (Emergency Core Cooing System) when LOCA(Loss of Coolant Accident) occurs in a nuclear power plant. The present study deals with 3-dimensional, unsteady, turbulent and two-phase flow simulation to examine the behavior of mixture of reactor coolant and debris near the floor of containment building in conjunction with appropriate assumptions. The dispersed solid model has been adjusted to the interfacial momentum transfer between reactor coolant and debris. According to the results, the counterclockwiserecirculation zone had been formed in the region between sump and connection aisle about 376 second after LOCA occurs. The debris thickness accumulated on a sump screen periodically increases or decreases up to 2000 second, afterwards its peak decreases.

Boric acid concentrations of the refueling water storage tank (RWST) and the accumulators for Ulchin 1&2 (UCN 1&2) are increased to meet the post loss of coolant accident (post-LOCA) shutdown requirement for the extended fuel cycles from 12 months to 18 months. To maintain long term cooling (LTC) capability following a LOCA, the switchover tine is examined using BORON code to prevent the boron precipitation in the reactor core with the increased boron concentrations. The analysis results show that, at 8 hours after the initiation of LOCA. the emergency core noting system (ECCS) should be manually realigned to the simultaneous recirculation mode from the cold leg recirculation mode.

한국형 차세대 원자로(KNGR)는 안전주입계통에 Advanced Design features를 채택하고 있는데, 그 중의 하나가 안전주입의 주입구를 Downcomer Annulus의 상부에 위치시킨 Direct Vessel Injection(DVI)으로서 영광 및 울진 3&4호기의 Cold Leg Injection(CLI)과는 다른 설계 개념이다. 본 논문에서는 DVI가 채택된 KNGR에 대하여 기존의 C-E형 발전소 해석에 적용한 C-E Evaluation Model(EM)을 사용하여 대형파단 냉각재상실사고를 해석해 보고자 하였다. 먼저 DVI의 Modeling은 KNOGR의 참조 발전소라 할 수 있는 System80+에서 Modeling한 것과 같이 CLI 해석에 사용한 Nodalization Scheme 중 Cold Leg Node에 연결된 SIT 만을 Downcomer Annulus Node에 연결하는 방법을 사용하여 DVI 해석을 수행하였다. 아울러 기존의 안전주입 형태인 CLI에 대한 해석을 KNGR에 대해 병행하여 수행함으로써 DVI와 CLI의 ECCS performance를 비교하고 CLI 대비 DVI의 특성을 알아보았다. 또한 DVI의 해석에 있어서 SIT와 Cold Leg이 함께 연결되는 Downcomer Annulus Node를 상하 2개로 분리하여 SIT와 Cold Leg 각각에 연결시킴으로써 DVI 주입구의 위치에 대한 보다 정확한 Modeling을 시도하였다. 그 결과 DVI 주입구의 높이를 고려한 경우가 DVI의 일반적 물리 현상에 근접하게 계산되는 것으로 판단되나 현재로서는 특별한 검증 수단이 없으므로 향후 Licensing 해석 수행에 앞서 방법론을 포함한 이에 대한 보다 심도 있는 검토가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

One of the most important characteristics of Engineered Cementitious Composite (ECC) is its strain hardening behavior up to $5\∼6\%$of stain under a tensile loading. So, the ductile behavior of ECC should be utilized in applications to maximize the performance of structures. Thus, in this study, the ductile behavior of ECC as a repair material applied to the tensile region under flexural loads is numerically examined using a developed numerical model. Several strain capacities of ECC are examined to predict the behavior of ECC strengthened flexural structures. The results show that a certain optimal level of ductility in ECCs for repair applications exists and it is an important factor to consider when using ECC as a repairing material.
