In this study, a real-scale fuel-cell room of volume 1.36 m³ is constructed to confirm the explosion characteristics of hydrogen-air mixture gas in a hydrogen-powered house. A volume concentration of 40% is applied in the fuel-cell room as the worst-case scenario to examine the most severe accident possible, and two types of doors (made of plastic sheet and wood) are fabricated to observe their effects on the overpressure and impulse. The peak overpressure and impulse based on distance from the ignition source are experimentally observed and assessed. The maximum and minimum overpressures with a plastic-sheet door are about 20 and 6.7 kPa and those with a wooden door are about 46 and 13 kPa at distances of 1 and 5 m from the ignition source, respectively. The ranges of impulses for distances of 1-5 m from the ignition source are about 82-28 Pa·s with a plastic-sheet door and 101-28 Pa·s with a wooden door. The amount of damage to people, buildings, and property due to the peak overpressure and impulse is presented to determine the safe distance; accordingly, the safe distance to prevent harm to humans is about 5 m based on the 'injuries' class, but the structural damage was not serious.

현재 통용되고 있는 화석연료로부터 발생되는 환경오염에 대한 대안으로써 대기오염이 발생하지 않는 수소를 사용하기 위한 연구가 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 하지만, 최근까지도 수소 누출에 의한 화재 및 폭발사고가 발생함에 따라 특수한 환경인 선박에서 수소를 상용화하기 위해 안전에 관한 연구가 더욱 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 수소저장탱크가 설비된 수소연료전지 추진선박이 울산 장생포항을 운항하던 중 누출사고가 발생할 경우의 계절별 대안 시나리오와 최악의 시나리오를 가정하였다. 또한, 환경변수를 고려하기 위하여 기상청 2021년도 연평균 기상자료와 통계청 지리정보 자료를 토대로 ALOHA와 프로빗 분석을 통해 피해 영향 범위를 도출하였다. 복사열이 대안 시나리오와 최악의 시나리오 모두에서 과압과 화염의 피해 영향범위 보다 넓은 피해범위가 나타났고 프로빗 분석 결과 가정한 모든 구역에서 99%의 사망률을 확인하였다.

산업현장에서 폭발성가스의 사용이 꾸준이 증가 함에 따라 작업자는 물론 일반지역주민들에까지 사고로 인한 생명에 위험을 처하기도 한다. 수소사용공정에서의 사고피해는 공정자체에 국한 되는 것이 아니라 대형화재나 폭발로 이어져 다수의 사상자를 유발시키므로 사고의 유형과 원인을 규명하고 피해규모를 예측하여 이에 대한 안전대책을 수립, 운영하는 것이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 MLCC(Multi Layer Ceramic Capacitor) 소성공정의 수소저장 사용시설에서 화재 폭발시 위험범위를 예측하였다. 실제 사고데이터의 분석결과 사고발생빈도가 가장 많은 배관누출에 대하여 사고 피해예측 시나리오 모델로 선정, 적용하였다. 10 mm Hole에서 120 Bar의 압력으로 수소가스 누출시 Jet fire가 발생되며 Radiation Level 4($kw/m^2$)의 경우 최대 12.45 m까지 복사열의 영향을 주었다. 또한 사고피해 예측을 통한 안전성확보와 개선방안을 제시하였다.

In this study, we analyzed the accidental hydrogen embrittlement affecting the track nut on a self-propelled howitzer. Tracks are key components to maintain a high degree of confidence in the operation of the self-propelled howitzer and the safety of the crew. This study analyzed the fractured surface using SEM to review accidental damage of the wedge nut. In addition, we conducted revival tests and analyzed the results to identify the cause of the wedge nut damage from hydrogen embrittlement. We should carry out factor analysis and continuous improvement of the manufacturing process to determine the accidental breakage mechanism for future enhancement of the self-propelled howitzer. This study will be the useful reference for enhancing process designs in similar products.

When boron ions are doped into the poly-Si films, the hydrogen ions doped with boron ions compensate the defect sites and suppress to produce damage density. These samples can be easily activated by hydrogen doping at high acceleration voltage($V_{acc}$).

본 연구에서는 수소차에 사용되는 수소압력용기 비파괴 안전성 평가 플랫폼 개발을 위해 유한요소해석을 사용하여 안전성 평가 기준 개발에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. Type 4 수소 압력 용기의 안전성을 평가하기 위해 복합 재료의 특성에 따른 매개변수를 바탕으로 재료의 물성을 유한요소 해석을 통해 도출하였다. 이를 통해 수소압력용기에 사용되는 CFRP 복합소재의 기계적 특성을 바탕으로, 내부 결함을 모델링하고 수소압력용기에 대한 평가기준을 사용하여 내부결함에 대한 파손가능성 여부를 도출하는 프로세스를 연구하였다. 결함은 박리, 이물질, 표면 수직균열을 모델링하고 파손 기준에 따른 손상을 분석하여 비파괴검사를 통해 검출된 결함의 안전성 여부를 판단할 수 있는 방법을 연구하였다. 연구 결과 박리 결함은 수소 압력용기의 내부에 근접할수록 파손가능성이 높아졌으며, 수직 균열을 경우 균열의 깊이가 깊어질수록 손상가능성이 높게 나타났다. 또한, 이물질 결함의 경우 압력용기의 외부 방향에 비해 내부 방향에 위치한 경우 손상가능성이 높게 나타났다. 본 연구를 통해 결함의 종류, 형상 및 크기에 따른 수소압력용기의 안전성을 평가할 수 있는 방법을 제시하였으며, 향후 본 연구결과를 바탕으로 수소차량 압력용기의 비파괴시험 안전검사 플랫폼 개발 연구를 수행하고자 한다.

For the hydrogen economy system being tried starting with the 21st century, the fields that was not dealt with so far, such as the safety measure for large leakage accidents, the safety problem at infrastructures like a hydrogen station, the safety problem in terms of automobiles depending on introduction of hydrogen cars, the safety problem in a supply for homes like fuel cells, etc., are being deeply reviewed. In order to establish a safety control system, an essential prerequisite in using and commercializing hydrogen gas as an efficient energy source, it is necessary to conduct an analysis, such as analysis of hydrogen accident examples, clarification of physical mechanisms, qualitative and quantitative evaluation of safety, development of accident interception technologies, etc. This study prepared scenarios of hydrogen gas leakage that can happen at hydrogen stations, and predicted damage when hydrogen leaks by using PHAST for this.

Ganoderma lucidum is commonly known as medically potent mushroom, which has been widely used in China and other oriental countries for the treatment of various diseases, including cancer. In this report, we investigated the anti-oxidant and protective effect of Ganodema lucidum extract (GLE) against the DNA damage induced by free radical and U.V. In the assay of cell growth inhibition, the inhibitory cell growth rate induced by hydroxyl radical was dose-dependently decreased by GLE. This results support that GLE has a detoxifying activity against cytotoxicity of hydroxyl radical in E. coli cell. GLE also protected ColE1 plasmid DNA damage in the concentration of 200$\mu\textrm{g}$ per reaction on the DNA fragmentation assay. The nuclear tailing by hydrogen peroxide in single cell gel electrophoresis(SCGE) was decreased by GLE in the concentration of 50$\mu\textrm{g}$/ml. These data indicate that Ganoderma lucidum has an anti-oxidative activity to hydrogen peroxide. The mutation rate after irradiation of U.V. was reduced by 50$\mu\textrm{g}$/ml GLE and total number of Rif (Rifampicin) resistant mutants was decreased in a concentration dependent manner when added the GLE exogenously in a culture media. According to the results, it is likely that GLE has not only an anti-oxidative activity to hydroxyl radical but also an anti-mutagenic activity to U.V. mutagenesis.

Sessile organisms such as the oyster Crassostrea gigas have been given much attention as a potential biomonitoring indicator to assess the impact of toxicants on aquatic organism. In this study, we exposed cells isolated from gill of oyster (Crassostrea gigas) to hydrogen peroxide in vitro. In addition oysters were in vivo exposed to pyrene and benzo(a)pyrene at various concentrations for 2 weeks. Comet assay was used to detect DNA single strand breaks and to investigate the application of this technique as a tool for aquatic biomonitoring. Hydrogen peroxide increased DNA single strand break with increasing concentration after 30 minutes exposure in vitro. Pyrene and benzo(a)pyrene caused DNA damage only at very high concentration (100 $\mu\textrm{g}$/L or 1000 $\mu\textrm{g}$/L) at two week exposure in vivo. DNA damage was relatively higher at hemocyte than at gill. It suggested that metabolized PAHs are transferred to hemolymph from digestive gland which have a relatively high enzyme activity, and attacked the DNA of hemocyte, while gill accumulated PAHs without degrading them to their metabolites due to low enzyme activity at gill. Both in vitro and in vivo exposure experiments showed that the comet assay is an effective tool on screening whether the organism are exposed to genotoxic contaminants.

Eco-friendly policies proposed by the government of The Republic of Korea have encouraged the use of eco-friendly vehicles. Hydrogen vehicles have exhibited the highest growth rate, although the current number of registered vehicles is low. In hydrogen vehicles, a thermally activated pressure relief device (TPRD) is installed to prevent explosions in the hydrogen gas cylinder. When discharged due to low ignition energy, hydrogen gas readily forms a jet flame. The risks induced by such jet flames were analyzed through a numerical analysis. Jet flames can activate TPRDs installed in nearby hydrogen gas cylinders. As a result, high-voltage cables exposed in the lower area of a vehicle can ignite within seconds. There was a 9.5-kW/m2 area around the vehicle (which can result in casualties) at a distance of ~5 m from the hydrogen gas cylinder, and a 37.5-kW/m2 area (which can cause significant damage) in the form of an inverted triangle toward the lower section of the vehicle. We believe that the risk factors analyzed herein should be considered for addressing accidents in hydrogen vehicles.
