Traffic accident risk of young drivers(less than 25) is reported to have 8 times as high as that of middle aged drivers(between 30 and 49). Despite the rise of traffic accident risk, few have been attempted to take a look into driving characteristics of young drivers. The purpose of this paper is to analyze age-specific risks of young driver by means of database of insurance and vehicle inspection, thereby collecting data such as age, vehicle mileage, injuries and so on. We conducted Data-Mining(CART) and Portfolio analysis according to age groups(every 10 years). The conclusions which can be drawn from this empirical study are as follows: (1) Despite the fact that young drivers have low vehicle mileage, the rate of fatality is relatively high. (2) Being concerned of vehicle mileage, 24,000km of driving experience is thought to be critical in differing in fatality rate. Having annual average mileage fewer than 24,169 km, accident frequency is relatively lower than that exceeding 24,169 km(1,571 cases). Backed upon these, some recommendations about driver's license system for young driver to improve are given.

The fatality of pedestrian accounts for about 21.2% of all fatality at 2007 year in Korea. In car to pedestrian accident it is very important to inspect the throw distance of pedestrian after collision for exact reconstructing of the accident. The variables that influence on the throw distance of pedestrian can be classified into the factors of vehicle and pedestrian, and road condition. It was simulated by PC-CRASH, a kinetic analysis program for a traffic accident in sedan type vehicle and SPSS program was used for regression analysis. From the results, the throw distance of pedestrian increased with the increasing of vehicle velocity, and decreased with the increasing of impact offset. Also it decreased with the increasing of velocity of pedestrian at accident, and throw distance at the road condition of wet was longer than that at dry condition. Finally, the regression model of sedan type vehicle on the throw distance of pedestrian was as follows; $$dist_i=2.39-0.11offset_i+0.59speed_i-545height_i-0.25walk_i+2.78wet_i+{\epsilon}_i$$.

1) The oxygen consumption was studied with albino rats under normal environment after they were given Cytochrome C intravenously (10mg/kg). The cosumption was 74.6cc/kg min. with that of control, 75.4cc/kg. min. The difference of the consumptions was not statistically significant. However, under 0.5% CO environment, the oxygen consumption of the Cytochrome C treated rats (62.5cc/kg min) was significantly greater than the control (42.1cc/kg min.) 2) The recovery time of rat acutely poisoned by 1% CO was studied. The recovery time of the Cytochrome C treated group was 37.2 minutes and in control group it was 52.2 minutes. Also significant difference of fatality was noted between the treated group (21.8%) and the untreated group (49.7%) 3) The combined effects of the hyperbaric oxygenation (100% $O_2$ at 3 atmospheric pressures) and the Cytochrome C administration was compared with the effect of the simple hyperbaric oxygenation. There was no significant difference of recovery time between the experimental group while the fatality of the experiment group was lower than control group.

Background: Due to an increasing number of workers aged 50 years and above, the number of those employed is also on the rise, and those workers aged 50 and over has exceeded 50% of the total fatal occupational injuries. Therefore, it is necessary to implement the selection and concentration by identifying the characteristics of high-risk groups necessary for an effective prevention against and reduction of fatal occupational injuries. Methods: This study analyzed the characteristics of high-risk groups and the occupational injury fatality rate per 10,000 workers among the workers aged 50 and over through a multi-dimensional analysis by sex, employment status of workers, industry and occupation by targeting 4,079 persons who died in fatal occupational injuries from January 2007 to December 12. Results: The share of the workers aged 50 years and above is increasing every year in the total fatal occupational injuries occurrence, and the high-risk groups include 'male workers' by sex, 'daily workers' by worker's status, 'craft and related-trades workers' by occupation, and 'mining' by industry. Conclusion: The most frequent causal objects of fatal occupational injuries of the workers aged 50 years and above are found out to be 'installment and dismantlement of temporary equipment and material on work platforms including scaffold' in the construction industry and 'mobile crane, conveyor belt and fork lifts' in the manufacturing industry.

Objectives: Jeju Province is well known as the region showing the highest incidence of severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) in South Korea. The aim of this study was to evaluate the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of SFTS patients in Jeju Province. Methods: The primary data for this study were obtained from the Integrated Diseases and Health Control System of the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (KCDCIS). The selection criteria were confirmed cases of SFTS with a residence listed in Jeju Province at the time of diagnosis, reported to the KCDCIS between July 16, 2014 and November 30, 2018. Results: Of 55 confirmed cases of SFTS, the case fatality rate was 10.9% (95% confidence interval [CI], 4.1 to 22.2). The most common presenting symptoms at diagnosis of severe fever, myalgia, and diarrhea had incidences of 83.6% (95% Cl, 71.2 to 92.2), 45.5% (95% Cl, 32.0 to 59.5), and 40.0% (95% CI, 27.0 to 54.1), respectively. Conclusions: Compared to SFTS patients nationwide in 2013-2015, the subjects of this study exhibited a lower case fatality rate and had a lower incidence of severe fever, myalgia, and confusion.

Several countries show interest in the Generation-IV power reactor innovative small module (PRISM), including: Canada, Japan, Korea, Saudi Arabia and the United Kingdom. Generation IV International Forum (GIF) has recommended the utilizing of probabilistic safety assessment (PSA) in evaluating the safety of Generation-IV reactors. This paper reviews the PSA performed for PRISM using SAPHIRE 7.27 code. This work shows that the core damage frequency (CDF) of PRISM for a single module is estimated by 8.5E-8/year which is lower than the Generation-IV target that is 1E-6 core damage per year. The social risk of PRISM (likelihood of latent cancer fatality) with evacuation is estimated by 9.0E-12/year which is much lower than the basic safety objective (BSO) that is 1E-7/year. The social risk without evacuation is estimated by 1.2E- 11/year which is also much lower than the BSO. For the individual risk (likelihood of prompt fatality), it is concluded that it can be considered negligible with evacuation (1.0E-13/year). Assuming no evacuation, the individual risk is 2.7E-10/year which is again much lower than the BSO. In comparison with other PSAs performed for similar sodium fast reactors (SFRs), it shows that PRISM concept has the lowest CDF.

원자력발전소로부터의 만일의 방사성물질 누출사고에 대비해 원자력발전소 주변에는 주민보호조치를 효율적으로 수행하기 위해 비상계획구역이 설정되어 있다. 그러나 이러한 비상계획구역 크기를 결정하는 국내의 방법론은 보수적인 사고선원항을 이용하여 계산한 1980년에 발표된 일본의 이론에 근거하고 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 울진 3&4호기의 확률론적 안전성점검 연구결과로 얻어진 사고선원항을 토대로 현재 원전을 중심으로 반경 $8{\sim}10km$의 주변지역으로 설정되어 있는 방사선 비상계획구역의 적합성을 재평가하는 것이다. 방사선영향평가를 위해서 컴퓨터 코드인 MACCS2(MELCOR Accident Consequence Code System2)코드를 사용하였다. 연구결과는 현재 울진원전을 중심으로 설정되어 있는 반경 $8{\sim}10km$의 비상계획구역으로서 STC-14 및 STC-19를 제외한 대부분의 선원항들에 대해 조기사망 발생확률을 크게 낮출 수 있음을 보여주고 있다. STC-14의 경우는 16km 이상, STC-19의 경우는 13km이상 소개되어야 조기사망 발생확률이 현저하게 감소되었다. 주민보호조치에 대한 민감도 분석결과에서는 사고통보 및 소개와 관련된 시간지연이 조기사망효과에 대해 직접적이고도 매우 큰 영향을 주고 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.

경수로형인 한국형 표준원전과 CANDU형 중수로형 원자력 발전소의 가상 중대사고시 대기 중으로 방출되는 방사성 물질로 인한 인체 건강영향에 미치는 리스크를 평가하고 비교하였다. 두 발전소 모두 반경 80km 까지의 인구분포와 2단계 PSA의 결과로 주어지는 방사선원 방출군별 방출 분율과 노심 재고량을 이용하였으며 평가 도구로는 MACCS2를 이용하였다. 인체에 미치는 영향은 조기 사망과 암 사망을 선정하였으며 반경 10 마일 밖으로 소개가 이루어진다고 가정하고 평가 결과는 사고 발생빈도를 고려한 리스크를 CCDF 곡선군으로 나타냈다. 평가 결과에 의하면 경수로형 원전에 비해 중수로형 원전이 리스크가 적게 나타나는데 이는 중수로형 원전이 경수로형 원전에 비해 가상 중대사고로 인해 대기 중으로 방출되는 방사성 물질의 양이 적기 때문이다. 두 발전소 모두 최대 리스크를 보이는 방사선원 방출군의 대표적인 초기사건은 증기발생기 세관파손 사고로 나타났다. 따라서, 경수로형 및 중수로형 발전소 모두 사고로 인한 주변 주민 보호를 위해서는 증기발생기 세관파손 사고의 발생빈도와 이로 인한 대기 중으로의 방사성 물질의 방출을 감소시키기 위한 방안이 강구되어야 한다.

본 연구는 산업안전보건법에 따라 지정·등록하는 안전관리전문기관에서 안전관리를 대행하는 사업장과 안전관리를 자체 수행하는 사업장의 사고재해율과 사고사망만인율을 비교 분석·검증하였다. 연구결과에 따르면 사고재해율이 낮은 집단은 안전관리자를 자체 선임한 사업장, 규모는 근로자 300인 미만 자체 선임 사업장, 산재보험 업종은 제조업과 운수·창고·통신업의 자체선임 사업장으로 유의성을 확인하였다. 사고사망만인율이 낮은 집단은 근로자 300인 미만 안전 관리전문기관의 대행 사업장과 기타의사업의 자체 선임 사업장으로 나타났다. 그 외 집단의 분석에서는 사고재해율과 사고사망만인율의 유의성을 확인할 수 없었다. 본 연구에서 안전관리전문기관의 대행 사업장에서 사고재해율이 자체 선임사업장 보다 높고, 사고사망만인율은 규모와 업종에 따라 일부 차이가 있는 것을 확인하였다. 따라서, 현재의 안전관리의 대행제도로는 사고사망 등 산재예방 효과를 담보할 수 없으므로 대행제도의 개편과 안전관리자를 대상으로 산업재해 및 사고사망 예방 전문성 강화를 위한 제도의 개선이 필요하다.
