  • The spin-rotation constants of the proton and tile fluorine nucleus in C $H_4$, Si $H_4$, Ge $H_4$, C $F_4$, Si $F_4$ and Ge $F_4$ were determined experimentally by the molecular beam magnetic resonance method. From the Hamiltonian and the high field approximation, the quantized energy level is given by the following equation. W $m_{I}$ $m_{J}$=- $g_{I}$ $m_{I}$H- $g_{J}$ $m_{J}$H- $C_{av}$ $m_{I}$ $m_{J}$, where $c_{av}$ is one third of the trace of the C tensor. In the nuclear resonance experiment, the proton and the fluorine nuclear resonance curves consist of many unresolved lines given by v=- $g_{J}$H- $C_{av}$ $m_{I}$, and a Gaussian approximation is made to correlate $c_{av}$ to the experimentally obtained half-width of the resonance curve. In the rotational resonance experiment, the five resonance peaks as predicted by v=- $g_{I}$H- $c_{av}$ $m_{I}$, $m_{I}$=0, $\pm$1 and $\pm$2, were all observed. The magnitude of car was determined by measuring the frequency distance between two adjacent peaks. The sign of $c_{av}$ was determined by the side peak suppression technique. The technique is described, and the sign and magnitude of the spin-rotation constant cav are summarized as following: for C $H_4$ -10.3$\pm$0.4tHz(from the rotational resonance), for SiH +3.71$\pm$0.08kHz(from the nuclear resonance), for Ge $H_4$+3.79$\pm$0.13kHz(from the nuclear resonance), for C $F_4$, -6.81$\pm$0.08kHz(from the rotational resonance), for Si $F_4$, -2.46$\pm$0.06kHz(from the rotational resonance), and finally for Ge $F_4$-1.84$\pm$0.04kHz(from the rotational resonance).onal resonance).esonance).

  • Purpose Lately, in accordance with the increasing interest about Healthcare accreditation program and International laboratory accreditation scheme, requirements about the instrument quality management are gradually taking shape. In nuclear medicine In vitro laboratory, the most typical instruments are multi detector gamma counter and automatic dispensing system. Each laboratory continue with the quality control adequate for circumstances. The purpose of this study is to application and establish the new Calibrator[I-125]Set which is efficient at standardization of equipment quality management. Materials and Methods Deviation between detectors were measured with 12 solid samples of the Calibrator[I-125]Set. their activities differ from each other by less than 1%. Multi detector gamma counters are GAMMA-10;Shinjin medics. Inc, Goyansi, Korea(Gamma counter A), SR300;Stratec biomedical systems AG, Gewerbestr, Germany(Gamma counter B) and COBRA II; Packard Instrument Co. Inc, Meriden, USA(Gamma counter C). Evaluation of two automatic dispensing system used A, B liquid tracer of the Calibrator[I-125]Set. After dispensing and counting, calculated using the ratio of the measured value and proposed value. We used solution A for 20, 25ul and solution B for 50, 100ul. Method of data analysis and reference range was provided by kit documentation. Furthermore, we could calculate our counter efficiency indirectly. Results The CV(%) of measured values by Gamma counter A, B, C are 0.34, 0.70, 1.30. Calculated value are 1.05314, 2.10419, 4.08485. Provided reference range is less than 3. A dispensing system's calculated values are 0.986, 0.989, 1.023, 1.017 and B are 0.874, 0.725, 1.021, 0.904. Provided reference range is from 0.95 to 1.05. Also, counter's efficiency are 74.18, 72.79, 74.32% at counter A, B, C and efficiency of the one detector counter is 79.26%. Conclusion If using this Calibrator[I-125]Set after verifying whether quality assurance, is applicable to equipment quality management on behalf of the role of gold standard.

  • All of the nuclear power plants in Korea we operating with analog instrumentation and control (I&C) equipment which are increasingly faced with frequent troubles, obsolescence and high maintenance expenses. Electrical and computer technology has improved rapidly in recent years and has been applied to other industries. So it is strongly recommended we adopt modern digital and computer technology to improve plant safety and availability. The advanced I&C system, namely, Integrated Intelligent Instrumentation and Control System (I$^3$CS) will be developed for beyond the next generation nuclear power plant. I$^3$CS consists of three major parts, the advanced compact workstation, distributed digital control and protection system including Automatic Start-up/shutdown Intelligent Control System (ASICS) and the computer-based alarm processing and operator support system, namely, Diagnosis, Response, and operator Aid Management System (DREAMS).

  • Recently, instrumentation and control (I&C) systems in nuclear power plants have undergone digitalization. Owing to the unique characteristics of digital I&C systems, the reliability analysis of digital systems has become an important element of probabilistic safety assessment (PSA). In a reliability analysis of digital systems, fault-tolerant techniques and their effectiveness must be considered. A fault injection experiment was performed on a safety-critical digital I&C system developed for nuclear power plants to evaluate the effectiveness of fault-tolerant techniques implemented in the target system. A software-implemented fault injection in which faults were injected into the memory area was used based on the assumption that all faults in the target system will be reflected in the faults in the memory. To reduce the number of required fault injection experiments, the memory assigned to the target software was analyzed. In addition, to observe the effect of the fault detection coverage of fault-tolerant techniques, a PSA model was developed. The analysis of the experimental result also can be used to identify weak points of fault-tolerant techniques for capability improvement of fault-tolerant techniques
