The helicopter rotor system generates lift, thrust, maneuvering force and moment to the helicopter with the torque and pitch control force transferred from the main rotor hub/control. And the tail rotor system generates the thrust for yaw axis control of the helicopter with the torque and pitch control force transferred from the tail rotor hub/control. Ground whirl test shall be performed to verify the compliance of requirement performance test and dynamic test of rotor blade and hub/control. This paper describes a design of whirl tower test facility for helicopter rotor system test and evaluation. Design results are summarized and compared with design requirements.

In this study, waste heat of Jeju City Waste Environment Center is investigated and the utilization method is suggested with economical analysis of additional investment that needed for new facility. Energy balance of the typical facilities is considered in this study such as incineration plant and LFG power plant. The payback period of the investment which is used for the LFG power plant waste heat utilization facility is about 2.4 years and the economic profit of the facility during 10 years operation is up to 926 million won.

Hot leg break LBLOCA(Large Break LOCA) had a potential to be a containment maximum pressure accident in YGN3&4, which was induced from excessive conservatism in the CE analysis methodology of mass and energy release. This study conducted mass and energy release experiment for the hot leg break LBLOCA during post blowdown with an integral test facility, SNUF(Seoul National University Facility). This facility simulated YGN 3&4 with volume ratio of 1/1140 based on Ishii's three level scaling. Experiment showed that SI(Safety Injection) water refilled cold leg first and core later. SI water was vaporized in the core, which resulted in the repressurization of reactor. This increase of pressure drove the water in cold leg to flow up half height of U tubes. However, since the water was drained back soon, the release through the SG side broken section by evaporation was negligibly small. This study also provided experimental assessment of RELAP5 results by KAERI for the release through the SG side broken section.

For hydrogen management in severe accidents with degraded nuclear core of PWR's, several experiments have been performed in the SNU hydrogen mixing facility. The objectives are understanding the extent of hydrogen mixing and analyzing the effects of factors which dominate uniform or non-uniform mixing at compartments in the containment building. The facility represents on a 1/11th linearly scaled model of the YGN unit 3&4, hydrogen was simulated by helium. Because there are the gaps between safety injection tank and compartment layers in the containment, the test facility was constructed in three dimentinal mode for analyzing of mixture behavior through the gaps. From the experimental results we could conclude that overall hydrogen concentration distributed uniformly in the free volume of the test compartment, but fluctuated in the gaps. This paper is focused on experimental result from several experiment.

The safety analyses and evaluation works on the process and facility for ACP demonstration have been performed. The several safety factors, such as the risk, environmental, radiation, structural, criticality, were analyzed. The analysis results confirmed the reliability of the safety on the ACP process and facility during normal and accident conditions.

An experimental test facility for the complete characteristics of pumps is constructed at KIMM(Korea Institute of Machinery and Materials). All sensors instrumented in test facility for measuring flow rate, pressure, force and moment are in-situ calibrated by primary method. This paper describes the test facility and test technique of the complete characteristics of pumps, together with an experimental test results for a reactor coolant pump which is designed at KIMM for the first time in Korea. The test results for the mixed-flow type pump of $n_s$=1.425 are presented by three curves: constant head, torque, and speed.

An ultra high frequency (UHF) coupler possessing ultra wide band (UWB) characteristics ranging from hundreds of MHz to several GHz is desirable for the detection of the partial discharge (PD) pulses because the pulses propagate with rise time shorter than one nanosecond in a gas-insulated substation (GIS). Thus, the authors have proposed a log-periodic antenna for GIS PD detection. Various parameters of the coupler such as frequency bandwidth, coupler gain, radiation pattern, and coupler geometry were considered throughout the simulations. The experiments for the detection characteristics of the coupler were carried out in the mock-up GIS chamber. The results indicated that the detection characteristics of the coupler are dependent on the installation angle of the coupler, the position of the coupler in the hand hole and the existence of the spacer.

The UWB UHF coupler for GIS PD detection requires a balun (balance to unbalance transformer) to show its inherent UWB characteristics. In order to reduce the size of the balun and to make it practical in the conventional GIS, a novel tapered coaxial balun with a dielectric was proposed for the UWB UHF coupler. The performance of the proposed balun was verified through a series of simulations, measurements and experiments. As a result, both the conventional balun and the proposed balun, which has a length equal to one third of that of the conventional balun, demonstrated good S11 characteristics, whereas the efficiency of the proposed balun increased as much as about 30% in comparison to the conventional one.

This paper presents a decision model that will estimate the expected number of failed units in a repair facility in accordance with the varying demand, and determine the required number of personnel for repairing components. The demand is related to the failure process which follows a reliability growth phenomenon in service. The information in this paper is useful for selecting appropriate scheduling rules and spares stocking policies. SIMAN and FORTRAN were used for computing the time dependent performance measures in the repair facility. The numerical integration method that is presented in this paper will provide accurate performance measures with any dynamic pattern of demand, service rates, and any number of servers.
