  • We fabricated a 15 m long position-sensitive plastic scintillation optical fiber (PSOF) detector consisting of a PSOF, two photomultiplier tubes, four fast amplifiers, and a digitizer. A single PSOF was used as a sensing part to estimate the gamma-ray source position, and 137Cs, an uncollimated solid-disk-type radioactive isotope, was used as a gamma-ray emitter. To improve the sensitivity, accuracy, and measurement time of a PSOF detector compared to those of previous studies, the performance of the amplifier was optimized, and the digital signal processing (DSP) was newly designed in this study. Moreover, we could measure very low dose rates of gamma-rays with high sensitivity and accuracy in a very short time using our proposed PSOF detector. The results of this study indicate that it is possible to accurately and quickly locate the position of a very low dose rate gamma-ray source in a wide range of contaminated areas using the proposed position-sensitive PSOF detector.

  • Generally speaking, because of complexity of engineering process, the systems engineering may be not easy to understand clearly and not easy to perform also. The status of systems engineering infrastructure of the some Korean industry is not matured yet, i.e., the systems engineering process, method, tool and environment is not implemented consistently within the steel making industry. These difficulties are more severe at the concept and basic design phase than the detail design phase relatively. Korean industry has lots of development project for the precedented systems and usually has matured domain knowledge for the precedented systems. Even though there is a mature domain knowledge of the precedented systems, the development project will lead to failure under the condition of engineering system is not well equipped. For the project success, it is very important to have a proper engineering execution system especially for the concept design and basic phase, which has a high abstraction and a large influence on the whole project. This paper proposes a minimized design process that can be easily applied to the concept and basic design phase of the precedented systems, instead of complex system engineering processes. This paper also proposes the application case of the minimized design process and methods for a Blast Furnace System.

  • 국내에 다양한 시스템 엔지니어링 전산지원도구(Computer Aided tools for Systems Engineering)가 도입되고 도구의 기능이 향상됨에 따라 시스템 엔지니어링 전산지원환경을 구축하는 사례가 늘어나고 있다. 전산지원환경을 구축하기 위해서는 기존의 국내외 시스템 엔지니어링 표준 및 지침에서 언급되지 않은 구체적인 업무에 대한 고려가 요구되기 때문에, 많은 노력과 시간이 소요된다. 시스템 엔지니어링 본 연구에서는 국내 연구소 및 기업의 시스템 엔지니어링 전산지원환경을 구축하는 과정에서 습득된 문제점과 경험적 교훈(lessons learned)을 정리하였다.
