  • Tubular markers for road safety facilities are used to lead the driver's sight line and separate the lanes on the road. Such tubular markers are usually installed on the road and frequently hit by vehicles, they are accordingly requested to assure the product durability. The traditional evaluation method of tubular markers include only quality tests of the material properties. However, most of consuming agencies in charge of road management at fields have proposed problems on long-term performance of the products hit by vehicles under various weather conditions. Therefore, the objectives of this study are to develop the reliability test methods and equipments to simulate the product failures of tubular markers due to vehicle collision and wheel compression and the delamination and discoloration of reflection sheets attached on the surface of the products under high and low temperatures.

  • A safety assessment is carried out for the near-surface radioactive waste disposal in the reference engineered vault facility. The analysis is mainly divided into two parts. One deals with the release and transport of radionuclide in the vault and unsaturated zone. The other deals with the transport of radionuclide in the saturated zone and radiological impacts to a human group under well drinking water scenario. The parameters for source-term, geosphere and biosphere models are mainly obtained from the site specific data. The results show that the annual effective doses are dominated by long lived, mobile radionuclides and their associated daughters. And it is found that the total effective dose for drinking water is far below the general criteria of regulatory limit for radioactive waste disposal facility.

  • Speeding is one of major causes of frequent and severe traffic accidents in school zones. In this paper, the long-term effectiveness of speed monitoring displays (SMD) on speed variability was investigated through a field study in a school zone environment. The performance difference was discussed with several dependent variables including average speed, 85th percentile speed, and distribution of speed. Study results showed that the speed of vehicles began to reduce where the driver recognized the presence of an SMD, and about 12.4 percent (5.8km/h) of average speed was reduced at the SMD location. This speed reduction was observed throughout the day regardless of time of day. Statistical tests showed that the speed difference was statistically significant. In addition, analysis results of speed distribution showed that the number of speeding vehicle was greatly reduced after the SMD was installed, and 85th percentile speed also decreased from 54.3km1h to 45.0km/h. Therefore, it was concluded that the application of SMD produced a positive impact on the driver's behavior for a long period of times.

  • 풍력발전 단지의 설계시 풍력 자원 평가 과정은 필수적인 과정이다. 풍력 자원 평가를 위해 장기풍황(20년)자료를 이용하여야 하지만 장기간 관측하는 것은 어렵기 때문에 예정지의 1년 이상의 관측데이터로 평가를 실시하였다. 예정지의 단기 풍황탑(Met-Mast; Meteorology Mast) 자료를 주변의 장기관측 자료인 자동기상관측(AWS; Automatic Weather Station)데이터를 이용하여 수학적 보간법으로 예정지의 데이터를 장기 데이터로 변환한 것을 MCP(Measure-Correlative-Predict)기법이라 한다. 본 연구에서는 MCP기법 중 선형 회계방법을 적용하였다. 선택된 MCP 회귀 모델식에 따라 제주 북동부 구좌지역의 AWS데이터를 제주 북동부 한동 지역의 Met-mast 데이터에 적용하여 연간 에너지 생산량을 예측 하였다. 예정지의 단기 풍황을 이용하였을 때와 보정된 장기 풍황을 이용하여 때 연간 에너지 생산량을 비교하였다. 그 결과 연간 약 3.6 %의 예측오차를 보였고, 이는 연간 약 271 MW의 에너지 생산량의 차이를 의미한다. 풍력발전기의 생애주기인 20년을 비교 하였을 때 약 5,420 MW의 차이를 나타내었으며, 이는 약 9개월 정도의 에너지 생산량과 비슷한 수준이다. 결과적으로, 제안 된 선형 회귀 MCP 방법을 이용하는 것이 단기관측 자료를 통한 불확식성을 제거하는 합리적인 방법으로 판단된다.

  • Unconditional clearance levels were derived for fifteen short-lived radionuclides. Due to the uncertainty of long-term radiological impact analysis, alpha emitting nuclides and nuclides with half-lives longer than 30 years (except for C-14) were excluded from the scope of this study. The candidate waste streams are solid wastes and waste oil generated from nuclear power reactors. The clearance levels were derived by generic assessment for enveloping scenarios, along with specific assessment for each detailed scenario such as landfill, incineration and recycling. The derived values lie in the range from 0.01 to 100 Bq/g.

  • 고준위방사성폐기물 심층처분시설의 안전목표치에 대한 부합성을 판단하기 위해서는 처분시스템의 시간적 변화에 따른 불확실성을 고려해야 한다. 이에 따라 심층처분시설의 폐쇄 이후 장기진화 특성에 대한 종합적 검토 및 분석을 통해 다중방벽 및 생태계에 미치는 영향을 규명해야 한다. 이에 본 논문에서는 우선적으로 핀란드의 심층처분시설에 대한 운영허가 신청과정에서 처분시스템 장기 성능평가의 일환으로 검토된 폐쇄 초기단계 진화 특성을 분석하였다. 또한, 이를 토대로 공학적방벽 성능평가를 위해 고려되어야 하는 장기진화 현상 및 발생요인을 종합하여 한국형 고준위방폐물 심층처분시스템 개발 시 중요도(안)를 도출하였다. 이러한 결과는 향후 한국형 고준위방폐물 심층처분시설 개발을 위한 성능 평가 및 안전성 평가 수행과정에서 기술적 근거자료로 활용할 수 있을 것으로 예상된다. 단, 각 특성에 대한 보다 세부적인 현상학적 검토 및 평가를 위해서는 최종 처분부지 특성 및 시설 고유 설계자료 등을 확보하여 그 영향을 사전에 검토해야 한다.

  • The safe and reliable performance of fusion and fission plants depends on the choice of suitable materials and an assessment of long-term materials degradation. These materials are degraded by their exposure to extreme conditions; it is necessary, therefore, to address the issue of long-term damage evolution of materials under service exposure in advanced plants. The empirical approach to the study of structural materials and fuels is reaching its limit when used to define and extrapolate new materials, new environments, or new operating conditions due to a lack of knowledge of the basic principles and mechanisms present. Materials designed for future Gen IV systems require significant innovation for the new environments that the materials will be exposed to. Thus, it is a challenge to understand the materials more precisely and to go far beyond the current empirical design methodology. Breakthrough technology is being achieved with the incorporation in design codes of a fundamental understanding of the properties of materials. This paper discusses the multi-scale, multi-code computations and multi-dimensional modelling undertaken to understand the mechanical properties of these materials. Such an approach is envisaged to probe beyond currently possible approaches to become a predictive tool in estimating the mechanical properties and lifetimes of materials.

  • This paper describes a web-based design review system as a knowledge management system relating reliability and safety system design. Since people's consciousness for safety and security become sensitive and increases the need of establishing a proactive prevention method for internal failures and relating risks in products. It also means that prevailing tacit knowledge in retired workers, in order to transform them to be easily used to support new system development, become more important. When considering safety and reliability design, at least two data sheet are necessary; Failure Modes and Effects Analyses (FMEA) and Risk Assessment (RA). These two data are practically made separately. However, it includes the concerns that a risk by failures during long-term use may not be noticed. To overcome this insufficiency, a support tool for integrating reliability evaluation and risk assessment data simultaneously is expected to be revealed. The authors have then developed a web-based design review system for reliability and safety system design. The system include various profitable functions; making FMEA and RA sheet, retrieving past data sheet for engineering change management and new product development and web-based discussion to increase the efficiency of discussion. The system is applied to one practical development works in order to demonstrate its effectiveness that is to be made clear by interviewing user's qualitative comment.

  • The live line working is inherently dangerous as the workers have to work under the risk of electrical shock and most of works are carried out at height. The live line working need the some specific techniques and higher level safety measures such as a risk assessment to carry out works safely, but the electrical construction companies performed live-line working are usually small-sized companies. They have less capacity to have own safety management system. This study intended to conduct an in-depth analysis on the cause of electric shock accidents to provide basic data for policy proposing taking into considering the past eleven years for a long-term plan. And the aim of this study is to propose the policy about the equipment performance standards and/or worker's safety standards to revise the standards for preventing electric shock accidents, moreover, co-relation of the electrical work order form and on safety workings, especially electrical construction company/work.
