  • 2016년 7월 5일 울산 앞바다 규모5.0 지진은 대한민국이 지진에 안전하지 않을 수 있다는 불안감을 주었고 2016년 7월 20일 부산 가스냄새는 지역주민들에게 지진에 대한 괴담 확산으로 번졌다. 이와 같이 스마트 시티에서는 재난안전에 관한 정확한 정보가 중요하며 피해주민과 커뮤니티에 대한 빠른 대응이 재난회복에 영향을 주게 된다. 본 연구는 스마트시티의 피해주민을 대상으로 사회기술을 응용하여 재난에 대한 불안환기모델의 중요성을 밝히고, 동일본대지진 당시 가마이시시(釜石市) 주민들의 자조(自助)내용을 심도 있게 고찰하여 적용 방안을 찾아내고, 재난대응 및 회복을 위한 보완수단으로 주민들이 실천할 수 있는 자조방안에 대해 제시하고자 한다.

  • The seismic PSA is to probabilistically estimate the potential damage that a large earthquake will cause to a nuclear power plant. It integrates the probabilistic seismic hazard analysis, seismic fragility analysis, and system analysis and is utilized to identify seismic vulnerability and improve seismic capacity of nuclear power plants. Recently, the seismic risk of domestic multi-unit nuclear power plant sites has been evaluated after the Great East Japan Earthquake and Gyeongju Earthquake in Korea. However, while the currently available methods for system analysis can derive basic required results of seismic PSA, they do not provide the detailed results required for the efficient improvement of seismic capacity. Therefore, for in-depth seismic risk evaluation, improved system analysis method for seismic PSA has become necessary. This study develops a system analysis method that is not only suitable for multi-unit seismic PSA but also provides risk information for the seismic capacity improvements. It will also contribute to the enhancement of the safety of nuclear power plants by identifying the seismic vulnerability using the detailed results of seismic PSA. In addition, this system analysis method can be applied to other external event PSAs, such as fire PSA and tsunami PSA, which require similar analysis.

  • Nuclear power plants under expansion and under construction in China are mostly located in coastal areas, which means they are at risk of suffering strong earthquakes and subsequent tsunamis. This paper presents a safety analysis for a new reinforced concrete containment vessel in such events. A finite element method-based model was built, verified, and first used to understand the seismic performance of the containment vessel under earthquakes with increased intensities. Then, the model was used to assess the safety performance of the containment vessel subject to an earthquake with peak ground acceleration (PGA) of 0.56g and subsequent tsunamis with increased inundation depths, similar to the 2011 Great East earthquake and tsunami in Japan. Results indicated that the containment vessel reached Limit State I (concrete cracking) and Limit State II (concrete crushing) when the PGAs were in a range of 0.8-1.1g and 1.2-1.7g, respectively. The containment vessel reached Limit State I with a tsunami inundation depth of 10 m after suffering an earthquake with a PGA of 0.56g. A site-specific hazard assessment was conducted to consider the likelihood of tsunami sources.

  • This paper provides quantitative data that describes the evolution of the air quality in the Whale and Sea Museum, located in the Iwate prefecture, collected after the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and tsunami. The museum was damaged significantly by the disaster, and restoration works continued for over six years. The air quality in the temporary storage facility and museum was monitored during the rehabilitation process. Evaluation of air quality is carried out by gas chromatography- mass spectrometry, ion chromatography and high-performance liquid chromatography. The results showed that the characteristics of the chemical components differed depending on the measurement locations inside the building. The museum atmosphere tended to be alkaline as the airtightness increased because of the maintenance works at the entrance. It was also determined that it was necessary to study the intake/exhaust routes and to clean them according to the contamination degree. In Japan, there are recommended museum air quality standards for acetic acid, formic acid, alkali, and aldehydes. The results indicated that these standards should not be used as a reference for damaged museums. Furthermore, at the temporary storage facilities for to store the collections during the rehabilitation of the museum, solvents such as ethyl benzene, toluene, and xylene are initially abundant, although they can be reduced by ventilation, while other components such as 2E1H was confirmed in this case are likely to remain.

  • 최근 발생한 일본 대지진으로, 지진에 대한 피해를 최소화 할 수 있는 내진 설계의 필요성과 기존 구조물의 성능 향상에 대한 관심이 더욱 증가하고 있다. 사회기반시설물인 교량 등의 손상 붕괴는 사회적 경제적으로 미치는 파급효과가 커 이러한 구조물에 대한 내진성능의 평가가 상당히 중요하게 부각되고 있다. 내진성능에 대한 검토방법들은 결정론적 방법에 의한 것이 대다수로 각각의 부재에 대한 안전성 수준의 평가에는 실용적이지만 전체의 안전성 평가에는 실용적이지 못해 지진에 대한 구조물의 안전성 평가에는 손상단계에 따른 취약성 또는 손상도를 평가하는 방법이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 탄성마찰포트받침(RFPB)을 사용한 Steel Box 교량에 대하여 지진의 특성인 PGA, PGV, SA, SV, SI 에 대한 손상도 곡선을 구하고, 이를 마찰포트받침(FPB)을 갖는 교량의 손상도곡선과 비교함으로써 두 지진 격리 장치의 성능을 비교 평가하였다.

  • 국가 긴급사태 발생시에는 긴급재난정보를 신속하게 전달하기 위하여 임시재해방송국을 개설할 수 있다. 그러나 국가긴급사태발생 시에는, 시정촌의 기초단체장들에게는 전기나 전화, 휴대폰 등의 연락회선이 두절되어 정보전달 수단이 한정되게 된다. 특히 라디오나 텔레비전 시청도 곤란한 상황에서 재난정보전달체계는 어려운 환경에 처하게 된다. 따라서 재난발생 초기에 임시재난방송국의 역할은 매우 중요하고, 피재지나 피난소에서 얻은 피난정보나 라이프라인정보, 지원물자 배포정보 등의 정보를 제공하고 있다. 본고에서는 동일본 대진재 시의 임시재난방송의 개설 및 운영 등에 관한 임시재난방송국의 운영사례 등을 소개하고자 한다.

  • The scale of disaster and damage witnessed in the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami and the 2011 Great East Japan Tsunami has motivated researchers in developing foolproof disaster mitigation techniques for safety of coastal communities. This study focuses on developing tsunami hazard map by numerical modeling at Imwon Port to minimize losses of human beings and property damage when a real tsunami event occurs. A hazard map is developed based on inundation maps obtained by numerical modeling of 3 past and 11 virtual tsunami cases. The linear shallow-water equations with manipulation of frequency dispersion and the non-linear shallow-water equations are employed to obtain inundation maps. The inundation map gives the maximum extent of expected flooded area and corresponding inundation depths which helps in identifying vulnerable areas for unexpected tsunami attacks. The information can be used for planning and developing safety zones and evacuation structures to minimize damage in case of real tsunami events.

  • Examples and experiences of risk management on radiation under prolonged exposure situation are shown. The accident of the Fukushima dai-ichi nuclear power plant after the great east Japan earthquake (11 March, 2011) elevates background level of environmental radiation around the east Japan. For example, ambient dose equivalent rate around Tohkatsu area next to Tokyo located about 200 km-south from the plant, is about 0.1-0.6 micro-Sv $h^{-1}$ mainly due to $^{134}Cs$ and $^{137}Cs$ falling on the ground soil. This level is about double or up to ten times higher than the genuine natural level around the area. International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) recommends how to face the existing exposure situation; that is the prolonged exposure situation. Referring to ICRP's reports and/or related international/domestic documents, we have been discussing and acting to gain public's safety and relief, who have a possibility to be exposed to prolonged lower-dose radiation. Here, we introduce our several experiences on risk management, especially focusing on risk communication, radiation education to public, and stakeholder involvements into making decision in local governments on radiation protection, relating to the accident.

  • 본 연구에서는 동아시아지역의 지각변동 경향을 지속적으로 모니터링하기 위하여 GNSS CORS 기반의 최적 관측네트워크 구성방안을 제시하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 이를 위해 아시아-태평양지역 IGS점을 기초로 다양한 형태의 GNSS CORS관측망을 시험적으로 구성하고 테스트한 결과를 종합적으로 분석한 바, 최소 5점 또는 10점 이상의 기지점을 사용하여 기하학적으로 균등하게 배치하고 2,500km 이내의 기선장으로 구성하는 동아시아지역 관측네트워크(EAREF)가 최적의 결과를 도출할 수 있었다. 그리고, 제시된 동아시아지역 관측네트워크를 적용하여 2011년 3월 동일본 대지진의 발생에 따른 위치변동을 해석한 결과 일본과 한국에서는 명백한 좌표이동이 발생한 것으로 나타났으나, 그 외 지역에서는 명백한 이동은 없다는 것을 보여주고 있다.
