본 연구에서는 IFC6.0코드 검증과 개선점 파악을 목적으로 유럽공동체 연구소 JRC-Ispra에서 수행한 Faro L-14실험을 모의하였으며 이는 ISP-39 참여하에 수행하였다. ISP-39는 용융물과 냉각재 반응 시 용융물 냉각 현상에 있어 관련 해석 코드를 검증하고 각 코드의 한계점을 파악하는데 그 목적을 두고 있다. 계산 결과 용기 내 압력상승 및 냉각재 상승에 관한 경향은 잘 모의하고 있다. 한편 절대값에 있어 실험치에 미치지 못하는 것은 냉각재와의 혼합 시 용융물의 분쇄가 실제보다 덜 예측되고 이에 따른 열전달량의 예측 미달로 인한 것으로 보이며 결국 Lagrangian코드개발의 필요성이 확인되었다.

A probabilistic analysis of slope stability is an appropriate solution in dealing with uncertainty in problems related to engineering geology. In this study, a Monte Carlo simulation was performed to evaluate the performance function that is Barton's equation. A large number of randomly generated values were obtained for random variables, and the performance function was calculated repeatedly using randomly generated values. A previous study provided information of slope geometry and the random characteristics of random variables such as JRC and JCS. The present approach was adopted to analyze two failed slopes. The probabilities of failure were evaluated for each slope, and sensitivity analysis was performed to assess the influence of each random variable on the probability of failure. The analysis results were then compared with the results of a deterministic analysis, indicating that the probabilistic analysis yielded reliable results.

In this work, we propose a new mechanistic model for the treatment of helium behaviour at the grain boundaries in oxide nuclear fuel. The model provides a rate-theory description of helium inter-granular behaviour, considering diffusion towards grain edges, trapping in lenticular bubbles, and thermal resolution. It is paired with a rate-theory description of helium intra-granular behaviour that includes diffusion towards grain boundaries, trapping in spherical bubbles, and thermal re-solution. The proposed model has been implemented in the meso-scale software designed for coupling with fuel performance codes SCIANTIX. It is validated against thermal desorption experiments performed on doped UO₂ samples annealed at different temperatures. The overall agreement of the new model with the experimental data is improved, both in terms of integral helium release and of the helium release rate. By considering the contribution of helium at the grain boundaries in the new model, it is possible to represent the kinetics of helium release rate at high temperature. Given the uncertainties involved in the initial conditions for the inter-granular part of the model and the uncertainties associated to some model parameters for which limited lower-length scale information is available, such as the helium diffusivity at the grain boundaries, the results are complemented by a dedicated uncertainty analysis. This assessment demonstrates that the initial conditions, chosen in a reasonable range, have limited impact on the results, and confirms that it is possible to achieve satisfying results using sound values for the uncertain physical parameters.

This study is to evaluate the physical and mechanical properties on the Ipseok-dae columnar joints of Mt. Mudeung National Park. For these purposes, physical and mechanical properties as well as discontinuity property on the Mudeungsan tuff, measurement of vibration and local meteorology around columnar joints, and ground deformation by self-weight of columnar joints were examined. For the physical and mechanical properties, average values were respectively 0.65% for porosity, 2.69 for specific gravity, 2.68 g/cm³ for density, and 2411 m/s for primary velocity, 323 MPa for uniaxial compressive strength, 81 GPa Young's modulus, and 0.25 for Poisson's ratio. For the joint shear test, average values were respectively 3.15 GPa/m for normal stiffness, 0.38 GPa/m for shear stiffness, 0.50 MPa for cohesion, and 35° for internal friction angle. The JRC standard and JRC chart was in the range of 4~6, and 1~1.5, respectively. The rebound value Q of silver schmidt hammer was 57 (≒ 90 MPa). It corresponds 20% of the uniaxial compressive strength of intact rock. The maximum vibration value around the Ipseok=dae columnar joints was in the range of 0.57 PPV (mm/s)~2.35 PPV (mm/s). The local meteorology of surface temperature, air temperature, humidity, and wind on and around columnar joints appeared to have been greatly influenced the weather on the day of measurement. For the numerical analysis of ground deformation due to its self-weight of the Ipseok-dae columnar joints, the maximum displacement of the right ground shows when the ground distance is approximately 2 m, while drastically decreased by 2~4 m, thereafter was insignificant. The maximum displacement of the middle ground shows when the ground distance is approximately 0~2 m, while drastically decreased by 3~10 m, thereafter was insignificant. The maximum displacement of the left ground shows when the ground distance is approximately 5~6 m, while drastically decreased by 6~10 m, thereafter was insignificant.

The past two decades were mainly devoted to model validation and computer code verification against global corium experiments, code application to reactor situations, and investigation of the role of melt properties in steam explosion energetics. Corium data were essentially provided by JRC-Ispra in the FARO and KROTOS facilities and by KAERI in the TROI facility. Verification of code applicability to reactor situations was performed essentially in the frame of the international OECD/SERENA programme. The paper makes a synthesis of the findings made during the above-mentioned period and expresses a personal view of the author with respect to the progress made and expected for the resolution of the steam explosion issue for light water reactors.

The Distinct Element Method (DEM) was used to analyze the stability of jointed rock slope, of which dimension are about 200m(length), 60m(height), $55^{\circ}$ dip. The Barton-Bandis joint model was used, as a constitutive model. The parameters such as JRC and spatial distribution characteristics of discontinuities were acquired through field investigation. Three different cases such as $51^{\circ}$, $45^{\circ}$ and $38^{\circ}$ in angle of rock slope were analyzed to decide a stable slope. To keep the jointed rock slope safely, it is proposed to reduce the height of slope from 60m to 48m and to reduce the angle of the from $55^{\circ}$ to $38^{\circ}$ too.

Tse와 Cruden(1979)에 의해 암석 절리면 거칠기 정량화에 대한 연구가 시작된 이후 통계적인 정량화방법, 프랙탈 차원을 이용하는 방법 그리고 스펙트럼 분석을 이용하는 방법이 제안되었다. 이러한 통계적 정량화방법은 치수의존적이라는 단점이 있으며, 프랙탈 차원을 이용하는 방법은 크로스오버 차원이라는 문제점이 있는 것으로 평가되고 있다. 이 문제점들을 보완하는 방법으로 스펙트럼 분석법이 제시되어 많은 연구가 이루어졌다. 본 연구에서는 Barton과 Choubey(1977)가 제안한 10개의 절리면 프로파일을 수치화하고 통계적 분석, 프랙탈 차원 분석 그리고 스펙트럼 분석을 실시하여 이들 문제점을 살펴보고 스펙트럼 분석법이 위상이 변조된 프로파일에 대하여 문제가 있음을 확인하였다. 이들 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 측정간격과 프로파일의 기울기를 의미하는 통계적 파라미터의 관계를 선형으로 회귀분석하였다. 이렇게 구한 10개의 1차식의 기울기와 절편은 JRC와 매우 상관성이 높게 나타났다. 이 기울기와 절편을 거칠기 정량화의 변수로 사용함으로서 통계적 분석법에서의 치수의존적인 문제와 스펙트럼 분석에서의 위상변조의 문제를 해결하였다.
