  • The development of nuclear power plants is in three phases. The first phase is a consideration before the decision on the NPP construction program is approved, the second phase is the preparatory work for making contracts and preparing for the construction of NPP after the NPP construction policy is approved, and the third phase is contracting, licensing and building the first NPP. As a volcanically active country, Indonesia contains over 130 active volcanoes that are part of the Pacific Ring of Fire. The volcanic aspect is one of the safety factors considered while deciding the location of an NPP. Research on the potential of natural external risks to the determination of nuclear power plants in Indonesia, including the volcanic aspect, has been conducted based on the safety reference or safety guide of the IAEA and the Nuclear Energy Regulatory Body (BAPETEN) Regulation. Due to technological advancements, safety needs have evolved so the existing Indonesia National Standard (SNI) must be updated to comply with BAPETEN regulations. The substance in SNI 18-2034-1990 relating to volcanic features seems less relevant in actual conditions, given that more complete and exact criteria for determining a site guarantee the safety and health of residents and surrounding the environment site. The study intends to conduct a gap analysis of volcanic issues in SNI and volcanic regulations. The method used is identification requirements for volcanic aspects in SNI 18-2034-1990 about Determining Site of Nuclear Reactor Guidance with BAPETEN Chairman Regulation (BCR) number 4 of 2018 about Nuclear Installation Site Evaluation Safety Provisions and BCR number 5 of 2015 about Evaluation of Nuclear Installation Sites for Volcanic Aspects, and analysis uses a qualitative method of inductive techniques. The outcome of this research applies to suggesting a revision of SNI number 18-2034-1990, especially the volcanic aspect.

  • Objective: This study was performed to investigate the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders in auto workers of a mission assembly plants. Background: Most studies of musculoskeletal disorders have used car assembly line workers as their participants. However, little research has been done on musculoskeletal disorders afflictions of mission assembly line workers. Method: Through a focus group interview with an ergonomist and a manager at a mission assembly plant site, a questionnaire was developed for musculoskeletal disorders. The questionnaire consisted of five parts, demographic factors, musculoskeletal disorder symptoms, and musculoskeletal disorder experiences; 137 workers participated in this survey. The surveys were analyzed by correlation and Chi-squared analysis. Results: Musculoskeletal disorder symptoms and serious pain were reported in the neck, shoulder, back, and fingers. These problems were statistically related to various demographic factors, such as age, stature, stretching, and work satisfaction. Conclusion: Treatment of musculoskeletal disorders should consider the workers' traits. If there is no specific cause of the pain, developing stretches and exercises before and after work should be applied to prevent musculoskeletal disorders. Application: The results of this study can be used to develop guidelines to prevent injury in auto workers at mission assembly plants.

  • Recent advances in digital holography in the far-infrared region of the spectrum have demonstrated the potential use of digital holography in homeland security as a tool to observe hostile environments in which smoke, flames, and dust impair vision. However, to make this application practical, it is necessary to simplify the optical setup. Here, we show an off-axis, self-reference scheme that spills the reference beam out from the object beam itself and avoids the need for a complex interferometric arrangement. We demonstrate that this scheme allows the reconstruction of high-quality holograms of objects captured under visible as well as far-infrared light exposure. This could pave the way to the industrialization of holographic systems to enable users to see through fire. Moreover, the quantitative nature of the holographic signal is preserved. Thus, the reported results demonstrate the possibility to use this setup for optical metrology.

  • 본 연구는 Schmidt-Boelter형 열유속계의 측정 불확실도를 정량화하기 위한 기초연구로서 제조사에서 제공되는 보정상수의 측정오차를 평가하였다. 보정실험은 미국립표준기술원(NIST) 화재연구부의 2000 W급 할로겐-텅스텐 램프를 열원으로 적용한 열유속계 보정장치를 이용하였으며 동일 열유속 조건들에 대해 보정대상 열유속계와 표준열유속계를 비교하여 보정상수를 얻었다. 3개 제조사의 열유속계에 대한 보정실험 결과를 제조사의 보정상수와 비교하였다. 열유속계의 출력신호의 섭동값은 $1{\cdot}$를 넘지 않았으며 보정실험결과와 제조사의 보정상수의 상대오차는 1.5% ~ 14.3%까지 차이를 보였다. 본 연구는 정확한 열유속을 측정하기 위해 지속적이고 주기적인 보정과정이 필요함을 보여준다.

  • 보일러 튜브용 크롬강의 열화기구에 대해 고찰하였다. 크롬강의 열화는 경도 및 응력-파단 수명의 변화를 동반하는데, 이는 주로 탄화물 분해 거동에 의존한다. 그런데 2Cr강인 T22의 열화는 이러한 탄화물 거동에 따르지만 12Cr강인 X20의 열화는 마르텐사이트 래쓰 성장거동에 따르기도 한다. T22와 X20의 열화에 의한 경도값과 응력-파단수명 변화현상을 미세조직적인 측면에서 고찰하였다.
