In contrast to all-time flooded small modular reactor (SMR) systems, an in-kind flooding safety system (FSS) has been proposed as a passive safety system applicable to small modular reactors (SMRs) that adopt a metal containment vessel (MCV). Under transient conditions, the FSS can provide emergency cooling to dry reactor cavities and sustain long-term coolability using re-acquired evaporated steam in the reactor building on demand. When designing an FSS, the effect of the flooding flow area is vital as it affects the overall accident sequence and safety. Therefore, in this study, a MELCOR model of a reference SMR is developed and numerical analysis is performed under postulated accident scenarios. Without flooding, the MCV pressure of the reactor module exceeds the design pressure before core damage. To prevent core damage, an emergency flooding strategy is devised using various flow path parameters and requirements to ensure an adequate emergency coolant supply before the core damage is investigated. The results indicate that a flow area exceeding 0.02 m2 is required in the FSS to prevent MCV overpressure and core damage. This study is the first to report a strategic analysis for appropriately sizing an FSS flooding valve applicable to innovative SMRs.

In this study, the characteristics of crop damage area by flooding for 113 middle range watersheds during 2000-2016 were analyzed and future crop damage area by flooding were analyzed using 13 GCM outputs such as hourly maximum rainfall, 10-min maximum rainfall, number of days of 80 mm/day, daily rainfall maximum, annual rainfall amount associated with RCP 4.5 and RCP 8.5 scenarios and watershed characteristic data such as DEM, urbanization ratio, population density, asset density, road improvement ratio, river improvement ratio, drainage system improvement ratio, pumping capacity, detention basin capacity, and crop damage area by flooding. A constrained multiple linear regression model was used to construct the relationships between the crop damage area by flooding and other variables. Future flood index related to crop damage may mainly increase in the Mankyung watershed, Southwest part of Youngsan and Sumjin river basin and Southern part of Nackdong river basin. Results are useful to identify watersheds which need to establish strategies for responding to future flood damage.

To improve maritime safety, it is very important not only to make safer design and operation but also to do proper response in case of maritime casualty. The large-scaled casualties will be caused by loss of structural strength and stability due to the progressive flooding and enlargement of damage by the effect of waves and wind. To prevent foundering and structural failure, the prediction of ship motion behavior of damaged ship in wave is necessary. This paper describes the motion behavior of damaged ship in waves through theoretical and experimental studies. A time domain theoretical model of damaged ship motions and accidental flooding, which can be applied to any type of ship or arrangement and considers the effects of flooding of compartments, has been developed. The model tests have been carried out in regular and irregular waves with different wave heights and directions in ship motion basin. Those were performed for three different damaged conditions such as engine room bottom damage, side shell damage and bow visor damage of a Ro-Ro ship. Comparison of theoretical and experimental results was performed.

Urban flooding occurs in the form of internal-water inundation on roads and lowlands due to heavy rainfall. Unlike in the case of rivers, inundation in urban areas there is lacking in research on predicting and warning through measurement data. In order to analyze urban flood patterns and prevent damage, it is necessary to analyze flooding measurement data for various rainfalls. In this study, the pattern of urban flooding caused by rainfall was analyzed by utilizing the urban flooding measuring sensor, which is being test-run in the flood prone zone for urban flooding management. For analysis, 2019 rainfall data, surface water depth data, and water level data of a street inlet (storm water pipeline) were used. The analysis showed that the amount of rainfall that causes flooding in the target area was identified, and the timing of inundation varies depending on the rainfall pattern. The results of the analysis can be used as verification data for the urban inundation limit rainfall under development. In addition, by using rainfall intensity and rainfall patterns that affect the flooding, it can be used as data for establishing rainfall criteria of urban flooding and predicting that may occur in the future.

In this study, dual drainage system based runoff model was established for W-drainage area in G-si, and considering the various rainfall characteristics determined using Huff and Mononobe methods, the degree of flooding in the target area was analyzed and the risk was compared and analyzed through the risk matrix method. As a result, the Monobe method compared to the Huff method was analyzed to be suitable analysis for flooding of recent heavy rain, and the validity of the dynamic risk assessment considering the weight of the occurrence probability as the return period was verified through the risk matrix-based analysis. However, since the definition and estimating criteria of the flood risk matrix proposed in this study are based on the return period for extreme rainfall and the depth of flooding according to the results of applying the dual drainage model, there is a limitation in that it is difficult to consider the main factors which are direct impact on inland flooding such as city maintenance and life protection functions. In the future, if various factors affecting inland flood damage are reflected in addition to the amount of flood damage, the flood risk matrix concept proposed in this study can be used as basic information for preparation and prevention of inland flooding, as well as it is judged that it can be considered as a major evaluation item in the selection of the priority management area for sewage maintenance for countermeasures against inland flooding.

본 연구에서는 홍수총량을 시간에 따라 분포시키는 단순홍수범람해석 모형인 SIMOD(Simplified Inundation MODel)를 이용하여 도심지 침수분석을 실시하고자 하였다. 기존의 침수분석 모형들은 입력자료 구축이 어렵고, 분석시간이 오래 걸리는 등의 단점을 가지고 있다. SIMOD는 다중흐름방향법(Multi Direction Method, MDM)과 평수가정법(Flat-Water Assumption, FWA)의 두 흐름 방정식으로 홍수흐름을 단순화시킨 모형으로, 대상지역의 지형자료와 유입 홍수량 등 간단한 수문자료만을 이용하여 홍수범람에 의한 침수경로 분석이 가능하여 신속한 모델링으로 빠른 의사결정을 할 수 있다는 장점이 있다. 따라서 SIMOD 모형을 이용하여 도심지 침수분석을 실행한 뒤, 기존의 침수분석 모형인 FLO-2D 모형분석결과와 비교를 시행하여 모형의 적용성을 분석하였다. 대상지역은 도심지 지역의 제방 월류-파제 시나리오를 적용하기 위해 하천이 인접해 있고, 충분한 높이의 제방이 있는 금호강 하류에 위치한 성서제를 대상지역으로 선정하였으며, 지형자료는 기존의 침수분석에 사용하는 DEM지형자료와 도심지 건물군, 도로 분포 등을 표출할 수 있는 DSM지형자료를 이용하였다. 입력 홍수량은 200년 빈도계획홍수위를 기준으로 제방파제시나리오를 적용 사각웨어식을 적용하여 산정하였으며, 1~24시간의 모의시간과 침수면적을 비교 분석하였다. SIMOD의 경우 24시간 모의시간이 7분 안으로 나타났으며 면적차이는 FLO-2D와 비교했을 때 20% 내외로 나타났다. 또한 DSM을 이용하여 분석한 결과 도로나 건물의 영향이 반영되어 앞으로 도심지에서 DSM을 이용한 지형자료의 필요성을 확인하였다.

The existing flooding Probabilistic Safety Analysis(PSA) was updated to reflect the Korean plant specific operating experience data into the flooding frequency to improve the PSA quality. Both the Nuclear Power Experience(NPE) database and the Korea Nuclear Pipe Failure Database(NuPIPE) databases were used in this study, and from these databases, only the Pressurized Water Reactor(PWR) data were used for the flooding frequencies of the flooding areas in the primary auxiliary building. With these databases and a Bayesian method, the flooding frequencies for the flooding areas were estimated. Subsequently, the Core Damage Frequency(CDF) for the flooding PSA of the Ulchin(UCN) unit 3 and 4 plants based on the Korean Standard Nuclear Power Plant(KSNP) internal full-power PSA model was recalculated. The evaluation results showed that sixteen flooding events are potentially significant according to the screening criterion, while there were two flooding events exceeding the screening criterion of the existing UCN 3 and 4 flooding PSA. The result was compared with two kinds of cases: (1) the flooding frequency and CDF from the method of the existing flooding PSA with the PWR and Boiled Water Reactor(BWR) data of the NPE database and the Maximum Likelihood Estimate(MLE) method and (2) the flooding frequency and CDF with the NPE database(PWR and BWR data), NuPIPE database, and a Bayesian method. From the comparison, a difference in CDF results was revealed more clearly between the CDF from this study and case (2) than between case (1) and case (2). That is, the number of flooding events exceeding the screen criterion further increased when only the PWR data were used for the primary auxiliary building than when the Korean specific data were used.

In recent years, the frequency and scale of the natural disasters are growing rapidly due to the global climate change. In case of the urban flooding, high-density of population and infrastructure has caused the more intensive damages. In this study, we analyzed the spatial characteristics of urban flooding damage factors using GWR(Geographically Weighted Regression) for effective disaster prevention and then, classified the causes of the flood damage by spatial characteristics. The damage factors applied consists of natural variables such as the poor drainage area, the distance from the river, elevation and slope, and anthropogenic variables such as the impervious surface area, urbanized area, and infrastructure area, which are selected by literature review. This study carried out the comparative analysis between OLS(Ordinary Least Square) and GWR model for identifying spatial non-stationarity and spatial autocorrelation, and in the results, GWR model has higher explanation power than OLS model. As a result, it appears that there are some differences between each of the flood damage areas depending on the variables. We conclude that the establishment of disaster prevention plan for urban flooding area should reflect the spatial characteristics of the damaged areas. This study provides an improved understandings of the causes of urban flood damages, which can be diverse according to their own spatial characteristics.

본 연구는 레이더 위성영상을 활용한 침수피해 지역 파악 및 그 완화방안의 도출을 위해 실제 침수지역을 대상으로 레이더 위성 영상의 침수피해에의 활용가능성을 살펴보았다. 이를 위하여 시계열 레이더 위성영상 자료를 활용하여 홍수에 취약한 침수 지역을 추출하고, 동일지역의 토지이용도에 대한 GIS 중첩분석을 통하여 토지이용 현황별 침수피해를 분석하였다. 사례 분석지역의 경우 침수피해가 심한 토지이용 형태는 농경지와 숲으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 레이더 위성영상을 활용하여 구축 가능한 침수피해 지도를 바탕으로 침수피해 완화를 위한 대응정책도 함께 논의하였다. 침수가 발생할 경우 긴급복구와 같은 위기대응적 접근도 중요하지만 무엇보다도 침수피해 지도와 같은 자료를 기반으로 위험한 지역에 건물의 입지를 제한하는 등 상습 침수피해 지역이 개발되지 않도록 예방적 차원에서의 토지 이용적 접근을 하여야 할 것이다. 본 연구에서 제안한 방안은 레이더 위성 영상의 환경 분야 활용과 침수피해를 최소화하는 방안의 일부이며, 레이더 위성영상은 대규모 홍수와 같은 재해문제 이외에도 다양한 환경 분야에 있어 활용 잠재력이 높으므로 향후 다양한 지역을 대상으로 레이더 위성영상을 여러 환경문제에 적용하는 연구가 계속되어야 할 것이다.

최근 지구 온난화 등의 영향으로 집중호우의 빈도가 급증하고 있으며, 강우강도 역시 강해지고 있는 실정이다. 이에 따라 국지적인 홍수피해가 증가하고 있으며, 댐 상류지역에서는 지형적 특성과 댐에 의한 배수위의 영향으로 많은 피해가 발생하고 있다. 그러나 대부분의 홍수피해의 경감대책은 인구밀집지역인 하류지역에 집중되고 있어 상류지역의 침수는 상대적으로 소홀히 다뤄지고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 정밀 3차원 지형모델을 구축하여 상류지역의 지형적 특성을 반영하고 강우발생시 유출특성을 조사하여 홍수시뮬레이션을 수행함으로써 상류지역의 침수피해양상과 침수취약지역을 분석하고자 하였다. 연구 결과, 홍수시뮬레이션에 의해 상류지역의 침수발생을 재현할 수 있었으며, 발생 가능한 강우에 대한 가상 홍수 시나리오에 의해 시뮬레이션을 수행함으로써 침수 취약지역과 그 피해면적을 효과적으로 도출할 수 있었다. 또한 침수 취약 지역에 대한 침수 예측도를 제작함으로써 강우 규모별 피해지역의 신속한 판단과 침수방어 대책의 수립에 효과적으로 활용할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
