If a molten core is released from a reactor vessel into a reactor cavity during a severe accident, an important safety issue of coolability of the molten core from top-flooding and concrete ablation due to a molten core concrete interaction (MCCI) is still unresolved. The released molten core debris would attack the concrete wall and basemat of the reactor cavity, which will lead to inevitable concrete decompositions and possible radiological releases. In a OECD/MCCI project scheduled for 4 years from 2002. 1 to 2005. 12, a series of tests were performed to secure the data for cooling the molten core spread out at the reactor cavity and for the 2-D long-term core concrete interaction (CCI). The tests included not only separate effect tests such as a melt eruption, water ingression, and crust failure tests with a prototypic material but also 2-D CCI tests with a prototypic material under dry and flooded cavity conditions. The paper deals with the transient simulations on the CCI-2 test by using a severe accident analysis code, CORQUENCH, which was developed at Argonne National Laboratory (ANL). Similar simulations had been already per for me d by using MELCOR 1.8.5 code. Unlike the MELCOR 1.8.5, the CORQUENCH includes a melt eruption mode I and a newly developed water ingression model based on the water ingression tests under the OECD/MCCI project. In order to adjust the geometrical differences between the CCI-2 test (rectangular geometry) and the simulations (cylindrical geometry), the same scaling methodology as used in the MELCOR simulation was applied. For the direct comparison of the simulation results, the same inputs for the MELCOR simulation were used. The simulation results were compared with the previous results by using MELCOR 1.8.5.

During the reflow process in SMT, the molten solder has been observed to move upward and solidify along the gullwing lead, which is called the wicking phenomenon. In this paper, possible causes of the wicking are investigated, and its effects on the solder joint profile are quantitatively estimated by introducing the wicking constant. The free energy reduction by intermetallic formation between the copper and tin seems to be the major source of wicking action. The joint profiles of the gullwing lead are calculated using the previous finite element formulation incorporated with the wicking constant. The calculated results show reasonably good agreements with the experimental data when the wicking effects are considered.

Antimony in the galvanizing bath had greater effect on the growth of grains in the solidification of molten coating layer and on the decrease of its surface roughness than lead. Particularly 0.01 wt % antimony in the galvanizing bath showed much stronger effect than expected considering its low surface tension value. These effects were seemingly originated from the development of preferred orientation of (0002) plane parallel to steel surface. Antimony was found to be widely distributed in form of orderly arrangement throughout the coating layer unlike lead from the results of surface analyses on coating layers as received and on those as etched in chromating solution. In addition, supercooling in the 0.07 % antimony and the 0.2 % lead galvanizing bath was also measured to be in the range of$ 2~4^{\circ}C$ and $9~11^{\circ}C$ respectively, and it indicates that antimony forms fine dendrite expanded rapidly on the steel surface.

NaCl-KCl을 flux로 사용한 용융염 합성법을 이용하여 $Pb(Sc_{1/2}Ta_{1/2})O_3$, 분말을 제조하였다. $700^{\circ}C$에서 $800^{\circ}C$의 온도범위에서 상형성 및 분말 상태의 변화를 조사하였다. 용융염 합성법으로 $750^{\circ}C$ 2시간 하소하였을 때, 순수한 페로브스카이트 구조를 가진 $Pb(Sc_{1/2}Ta_{1/2})O_3$ 상이 형성되었으며, 평균 입자 크기는 $0.5\{mu}m$ 이하이고 입방체와 유사한 형상을 갖는 분말이 제조되었다. DIA, X-선 회절 분석, 미세구조 변화를 통해 합성된 분말의 특성을 고찰하였다.

The PTCR characteristics of (Ba0.8Pb0.2)TiO3 ceramics prepared by the molten salt sysnthesis (MSS) method have been investigated as a function of the amount of Nb2O5 dopant and KCl flux. When the weight ratio of KCl to raw material is 0.8, the resistivity at room temperature decreases with increasing amount of Nb dopant up to 0.6 atom%. It can be explained by compensation for electrons due to Nb+5 ion and holes due to K+ ion. The resistivity of (Ba0.8Pb0.2)(Ti0.994Nb0.006)O3 ceramics at room temperature decreases with increasing the ratio of KCl to raw material up to 0.6, and then increases. These results can be explained by the effect of K+ ion.

In this study, in order to obtain a high reflectivity for the LED lead frame, tin dip coating and tin plating were conducted respectively, and wettability of LED lead frame with tin solder also was tested by wetting balance tester. A Cu sheet was plated in Cu brighten electroplating bath and followed by immersion in a Sn electro-less plating bath [1]. On the other hand, in the dip coating process, a Cu sheet was dipped into molten tin. In the progress of wetting test, besides wetting balance curve, the maximum measured force($F_m$), the maximum withdrawal force($F_w$) and zero-cross time($t_0$) were obtained in various temperatures. With the maximum withdrawal force, the surface tension was calculated at different temperatures. The Cu sheet plated with bright Cu and Sn show a silver bright property while that of Cu dipped with Sn possessed a high reflectance density of 1.34GAM at $270^{\circ}C$.

The submerged injection smelting process was performed to recover Zn and Pb from steel dust throuth vaporization and to investigate the effect of temperature, slag composition, injection time, gas flow rate, etc. on the recoveries of valuable metals. The results show that vaporation rates of zinc and lead increased at higher temperture and higher moral ratio of ferrous to ferric oxides. In the initial stage of submerged injection of nitrogen gas, the molten slags of the dust have high value of molar ratio of $Fe^{2+}$/$Fe^{3+}$ and hence zinc and lead can be effectively recovered.

Electrical resistivity and piezoelectric properties were investigated in Lead Zirconate-Titante(PZT) with Nb$_2$O$\sub$5/dopant, fabricated from conventional mixed-oxide powders and molten salt synthesis. The resistivity and electromechanical coupling factor(K$\sub$p/) were increased with increasing Nb content. The reason for increasing of the electrical resistivity below the Curie Temperature(TC). It is believed that the Curie Temperature(Tc). It is believed that the p-type electrical conduction in PZT is due to lead vacancies. The electromechanical coupling factor(K$\sub$p/) and piezoelectric constant d$\sub$33/ were improved. This behavior can be explained as a compensation effect and Nb$\^$5+/ can serve as a donar and contribute electrons to the conduction process. As a result, the optimized Nb$_2$O$\sub$5/ dopants on the PZT specimens were 0.75 wt%.

In liquid metal fast breeder reactors, postulated failures of the plant protection system may lead to serious unprotected accidental consequences. Unprotected transients are generically categorized as transient overpower accidents and transient under cooling accidents. In both cases, core meltdown may occur and this can lead to a molten fuel coolant interaction (MFCI). The understanding of MFCI phenomena is essential for study of debris coolability and characteristics during post-accident heat removal. Sodium is used as coolant in liquid metal fast breeder reactors. Viewing inside sodium at elevated temperature is impossible because of its opaqueness. In the present study, a methodology to depict MFCI phenomena using a flat panel detector based imaging system (i.e., real time radiography) is brought out using a woods metal-water experimental facility which simulates the $UO_2-Na$ interaction. The developed imaging system can capture attributes of the MFCI process like jet breakup length, jet front velocity, fragmented particle size, and a profile of the debris bed using digital image processing methods like image filtering, segmentation, and edge detection. This paper describes the MFCI process and developed imaging methodology to capture MFCI attributes which are directly related to the safe aspects of a sodium fast reactor.
