World has become interested in the development of new dean energy because of oil prices rise and global warming due to carbon dioxide emissions. This study evaluated the safety of the refueling infrastructure for hydrogen, CNG and HCNG(hydrogen blended natural gas) which recently take center stage as a clean fuel. The risk of fuel was evaluated by 3D computational fluid dynamics program for gas dispersion and explosion. Hydrogen is higher than the CNG explosion overpressure and shows rapid spread. On the other hand, CNG and 30% HCNG showed quite similar characteristics. HCNG slightly rises in risk than the CNG, but HCNG is safe compared to hydrogen.

Hydrogen energy is expanding in range for civil use together with development of pollution-free power sources recently, and it is judged that the use of hydrogen will increase more as a part of carbon dioxide reduction measures according to the Climatic Change Convention. Especially, it is thought that the securement of safety of the used dispenser will be the biggest obstacle in the use of high-pressure hydrogen because the hydrogen station is operated in a high pressure. This study found risks in the process and problems on operation by making use of HAZOP(6 kinds), a qualitative safety evaluation technique, and FMEA(5 kinds), a fault mode effect analysis, for the hydrogen charging system at a hydrogen gas station, derived 6 risk factors from HAZOP and 5 risk factors from FMEA, and prepared measures for it.

Recently, Korea has established a plan for the supply of hydrogen vehicles and is promoting the expansion of the supply. Risk factors for hydrogen vehicles are hydrogen leakage, jet fire, and explosion. Therefore Safety measures are necessary for this hazard. In addition, risks in semi-closed spaces such as tunnels, underground roads, and underground parking lots should be analyzed. In this study, an explosion experiment was conducted on a hydrogen tank used in a hydrogen vehicle to analyze the risk of a hydrogen vehicle explosion accident that may occur in a semi-closed space. As results, the effect on the structure and the human body was analyzed using the overpressure and impulse values for each distance generated during the explosion.

This study has been conducted for evaluation of qualitative/quantitative risk of HCNG filling station. In case of fire explosion occurred because of hydrogen, CNG, and HCNG leaking on same conditions, maximum overpressure was measured as 30kPa for hydrogen, 3.5kPa for HCNG, and 0.4kPa for CNG. The overpressure of HCNG was measured 7.75 times higher than that of CNG, but it was only 11.7% compared with hydrogen. When the explosion was occurred, in case of hydrogen, the measured influential distance of overpressure was 59m and radiant heat was 75m. In case of CNG, influential distance of overpressure was 89m and radiant heat was 144m would be estimated. In case of 30% HCNG that was blended with hydrogen and CNG, influential distance of overpressure was 81m and radiant heat was 130m were measured. As the explosion occurred with the same sized container that had 350bar for hydrogen and 250bar of CNG and HCNG, the damage distance that explosive overpressure and radiant heat influenced CNG was seen as the highest. HCNG that was placed between CNG and hydrogen tended to be seen as more similar with CNG.

The test method on the Type II high-pressure hydrogen storage tanks made of the metal wire hoop winding is a complex and high risk. Also closeup on the tank being test is difficult. In this study, we studied a mechanical test method for a high-pressure hydrogen tanks. This method must be simple, risk-free and possible to observe the change in microscopic behavior of a metal wire on a liner. As the results, it was possible to observe the microscopic behavior on the metal wire by the mechanical test method. Also, a simple and risk-free test was possible compared to the conventional test method for high pressure hydrogen tanks.

The risk assessment (safety assessment) must be performed to verify the risks during operation and installation of the hydrogen system and to ensure safe design and operation. Among them, hazard and operability study (HAZOP), a qualitative risk assessment, is most often used to discover risk factors and secure safety. However, in HAZOP performance, there is a difference in the level of evaluation results depending on the level and experience of the evaluator, and there is a high possibility that subjective results will be derived. This study aims to develop a risk factor library that can list and provide information on potential risk factors in order to solve these problems when performing HAZOP, reduce risk factors that are omitted or overlooked.

During the course of a severe accident in a light water nuclear reactor, large amounts of hydrogen can be generated and released into the containment during reactor core degradation. Additional burnable gases [hydrogen ($H_2$) and carbon monoxide (CO)] may be released into the containment in the corium/concrete interaction. This could subsequently raise a combustion hazard. As the Fukushima accidents revealed, hydrogen combustion can cause high pressure spikes that could challenge the reactor buildings and lead to failure of the surrounding buildings. To prevent the gas explosion hazard, most mitigation strategies adopted by European countries are based on the implementation of passive autocatalytic recombiners (PARs). Studies of representative accident sequences indicate that, despite the installation of PARs, it is difficult to prevent at all times and locations, the formation of a combustible mixture that potentially leads to local flame acceleration. Complementary research and development (R&D) projects were recently launched to understand better the phenomena associated with the combustion hazard and to address the issues highlighted after the Fukushima Daiichi events such as explosion hazard in the venting system and the potential flammable mixture migration into spaces beyond the primary containment. The expected results will be used to improve the modeling tools and methodology for hydrogen risk assessment and severe accident management guidelines. The present paper aims to present the methodology adopted by Institut de Radioprotection et de $S{\hat{u}}ret{\acute{e}}$ $Nucl{\acute{e}}aire$ to assess hydrogen risk in nuclear power plants, in particular French nuclear power plants, the open issues, and the ongoing R&D programs related to hydrogen distribution, mitigation, and combustion.

정부는 2015년 파리협정 이후, 미세먼지 종합관리 대책(2017), 수소경제 활성화 로드맵(2019) 등을 통해 수소 보급을 위한 다양한 정책을 추진하고 있다. 그 일환으로 2022년까지 수소공급을 위한 충전소 310개소의 구축 목표를 발표하였다. 이를 위해 융·복합, 패키지형, 이동식 수소충전소의 도입을 위한 특례를 제정·공포하였다. 이동식 수소충전소는 여러 지역에 수소를 공급가능한 장점이 있는 반면, 설비의 이동과 집약적 설치로 인해 적정한 설치기준과 운영안전성 확보가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 이동식 수소충전소 표준모델 설계와 정량적 위험성 평가(QRA)를 실시하여 도입 가능성을 검토하였다. QRA 결과, 개인적, 사회적 위험도는 가용한 것으로 나타났으며, 도입에 대한 실증방향과 시사점을 도출하였다.

제조식 수소충전소에서 생산되는 수소가스는 일반적으로 석탄연료의 개질 및 부생가스 등을 활용하지만 순수물을 활용한 수전해 기술의 경우 청정한 기술로 각광 받고 있다. 전기에너지를 이용하여 순수한 물로부터 수소를 생산하는 기술 중에는 향후 가격 및 성능 경쟁에서 우수한 PEM(Polymer Electrolyte Membrane electrolysis)을 이용한 개발이 주로 이루어지고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 국내 수소충전소 중 개발단계에 있는 PEM 수전해 수소충전소에 대해 잠재된 유해위험요소를 확인하여 안전한 수소생산 및 수소충전소의 활성화를 도모하고자 한다. 유해위험요소를 도출하기 위해서는 수전해 수소충전소의 설비 및 장치의 안전성이 우선 확보되어야하기에 FMEA(Failure Mode & Effect Analysis)를 수행함으로써 수전해 및 수소충전소의 설비에서의 유해위험요인을 분석하였다.
