UK National Nuclear Laboratory's (NNL's) version of the ENIGMA fuel performance code is described, including details of the development history, the system modelled, the key assumptions, the thermo-mechanical solution scheme, and the various incorporated models. The recent development of ENIGMA in the areas of whole core analysis and dry storage applications is then discussed. With respect to the former, the NEXUS code has been developed by NNL to automate whole core fuel performance modelling for an LWR core, using ENIGMA as the underlying fuel performance engine. NEXUS runs on NNL's GEMSTONE high performance computing cluster and utilises 3-D core power distribution data obtained from the output of Studsvik Scandpower's SIMULATE code. With respect to the latter, ENIGMA has been developed such that it can model the thermo-mechanical behaviour of a given LWR fuel rod during irradiation, pond cooling, drying, and dry storage - this involved: (a) incorporating an out-of-pile clad creep model for irradiated Zircaloy-4; (b) including the ability to simulate annealing out of the clad irradiation damage; (c) writing of additional post-irradiation output; (d) several other minor modifications to allow modelling of post-irradiation conditions.

Globalization has integrated the world through interaction among countries and people with the help of information and telecommunication technology (ICT). The rapid mode of globalization has put a new life in ICT and economic sector. The key focus of this study is to examine the nexus among the globalization, ICT and economic growth. This study uses autoregressive distributed lag model (ARDL), vector error correction model (VECM) and econometric method spanning from 1990 to 2015. The empirical result highlights that the globalization stimulates economic growth of a country. In addition, both the internet penetration and the mobile phone usage contribute to the economic growth. Lastly, this article contributes important policy lessons on strengthening the economy by utilizing ICT with the rapid globalization.

This study introduced food waste into re-vegetation base materials for surface loss recovery of carry-away highway cut slope. The object of this study is to derive the mixing ratio of food waste by conducting a test installation, monitoring, analysis and evaluation for recovery of carry-away highway cut slope. The following items were investigated and analyzed each experimental zone to draw mixing ratio of re-vegetation base materials and food waste : the physical and chemical properties of the vegetation base materials, soil-hardness, soil-humidity, left out and the collapsed point, established number of trees, species richness of grass species and tree species, coverage, pest status, and invasion of disturbance species. The re-vegetation method was evaluated by each experiment zone which has different mixing ratio. As a result, experiment zone A was rated 45 points out of 60 rating points as the best re-vegetation method. However, this study result has been derived from one construction and short-term monitoring. In order to derive the suitable and dependable mixing ratio, conducting an objective re-vegetation method evaluation and long-term experiment and monitoring is required.

A species restoration plan requires a process where the first is to thoroughly study the target species, second is to provide them with an onsite reproduction and adaptation period, and finally, third is to release them to their natural habitat. This study focuses on the space planning for target species' successful onsite reproduction and adaptation. For the study, a site planning near Sobaeksan National Park was implemented with Red Fox's behavior and habitat characteristics in mind for its recovery, reproduction, and natural adaptation. During site selection and planning, the basic aim was to incorporate the existing site as much as possible thus reducing the impact on the environment from the recovery plan. In addition, for a stable recovery of the Red Fox population, the site was classified into three different areas : core area, buffer zone, and transition area. Then, the facilities that help Red Fox's reproduction and adaptation such as reproduction center, foraging site, adaptation training center were planned. Under the condition that the site will be off limit to the public, a limited number of paths for monitoring was provided. For the site's vegetation, the existing species were planted as much as possible with the addition of plants that the Red Fox consume. The facilities included as Red Fox's habitat were fox burrows for hiding and ecological ponds for drinking. From this study, the recovery of the endangered fox species is expected as well as the contribution to an effort to increase of awareness toward the biological resources in Korea through Nagoya protocol. Furthermore, it has the potential to change the public's attitude toward endangered species recovery projects through publicizing and providing experience to the national park visitors.

The aim of this study is to apply the Water-Energy-Food-Land Nexus approach which can analyze the trade-offs among resources, and assess the holistic impacts of food security. First, we applied rice as a study crop and analyzed the trend of consumption of rice and the area of paddy fields. Second, the portfolios of water, energy, and land for rice production were constructed using data of footprints and productivity. Finally, the self-sufficiency ratio (SSR) of rice in target year was set as food security scenario and assessed the impacts of food security on water, energy, and land availability. In 2030, the SSR of rice decreased to 87 %, and water use for producing rice decreased from 4,728 to $3,350million\;m^3$, and the water availability index increased from 0.33 to 0.53. However, food security is essential issue and we set the 50 % and 100 % SSR of rice as high and low food security scenarios. For 100% SSR in 2030, about $3,508million\;m^3$ water was required and water availability index reached to 0.5. In other words, there is the trade-off between food security and water-energy-lands availability. Therefore, it is difficult to make a decision whether a high level of SSR is better or worse. However, this study showed the both positive and negative impacts by change of food security and it can be useful for setting the policy decision considering both food security and sustainable resource management at the same time.

현재 전 세계적으로 지속적인 인구증가와 도시화 및 산업화 영향으로 물, 에너지, 식량의 수요증가와 공급부족이 예상되는 가운데, 급격한 기후변화와 자원고갈로 인해 이는 더욱 가속화되고 심화될 위기에 직면하였다. 특히 물의 수요는 증가하나 공급은 제한되어 있어 지속가능한 인류의 생존을 위하여 인간에게 꼭 필요한 에너지와 식량의 문제를 물을 중심으로 상관성을 찾고 효율적인 물활용 방법을 개발하고 정책화할 필요가 있다. 세계 물공급량 중 농업으로는 70%, 에너지로는 15%로 소비되고 있다. 또한 유럽과 미국은 발전용 냉각수로 각각 담수총량의 43%, 50%를 사용하고 있는 등, 세계는 물, 식량 그리고 에너지 수급의 불균형이 심화되고 상호 위기가 증폭되고 있다. 향후 인간의 삶에 절대적으로 필요한 세가지 자원이 복합적으로 연계되어 상호 위기가 증폭될 수 있는 실정이나, 우리나라는 개별자원에 대한 관리 및 운영기술은 상당한 수준이지만 아직까지 연계성을 고려하여 자원간의 효율성을 찾는 물-에너지-식량 연계(Water-Energy-Food Nexus, WEF Nexus)에 대한 관리 및 기술은 부족한 실정이다. 국제적으로 세자원의 연계상황이 선진국과 개도국간에 편차가 크고, 사막지대 등 자연조건이 열악한 지역에서 자원들간의 위기 연계성이 높은 상황이므로 우리나라도 물-에너지-식량의 연계위기 상황을 정확히 파악하고 미래 환경변화에 대한 대응방안 수립이 필요하나, 현재 국내 물관리에 있어 저수지나 수리시설 관리가 제대로 실행되지 못하고 있어 이를 방치할 경우 중장기적으로 식량 및 에너지생산에 있어 부족이 우려되고 있다. 또한 부처간의 행정적인 간격으로 물-에너지-식량의 연계성 연구 및 정책수립에 있어서 자료 등이 절대적으로 부족한 실정이기 때문에 체계적으로 빅데이터 기반의 DB구축 및 인벤토리 정의 등도 현재시점에서는 절대적으로 필요하다고 할 수 있다. WEF Nexus를 실현하기 위해서는 각 자원간의 효율성을 극대화하여야 한다. 과거에는 개별적 자원의 확보를 추구했다면 이제부터는 각 자원간의 상생을 통한 연계성을 확보하여 서로간의 자원 확보를 고려하여 개발하여야 한다. 이를 위해 현재의 자원확보에 대한 문제점들을 고려하여, 상호 연계를 통한 효율성을 확보하고 그 효율성이 각 자원에 영향을 주어 시너지효과를 발생시킬 수 있는 방안으로 진행되어야 할 것으로 판단된다.
