The research and development of effective management technologies of the spent fuels discharged from power reactors are an important and essential task of KAERI. In resent several years KAERI has focused on a project named "development and demonstration of the Advanced spent fuel Conditioning Process (ACP) in a laboratory scale." The Facility for ACP demonstration consists of two Hot Cells and auxiliary facilities. It is now in the final design stage and will be constructed in 2004. After construction of the facility the ACP equipments will be installed in Hot Cells. The ACP will be demonstrated by some simulated spent fuels first and then by spent fuels.

원자력시설의 해체를 수행하는데 있어서 해체 대상 시설의 성격을 파악하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 해체 대상 원자력시설의 특성 자료 조사 결과는 해체 시 발생되는 폐기물의 양을 예측하고, 해체사업의 비용 산정에 크게 활용이 되며, 특성들의 그루핑을 통하여 일련의 예측 활동에서 훈련 집합으로 사용될 수 있다. 이를 목적으로 해체사업 대상 시설의 특성자료를 관리하는 시스템, DEFACS(DEcommissioning FAcility Characterization DB System)를 개발하였다. 이는 웹브라우저상에서 동작하며, 크게 특성에 따른 데이터의 입출력, 가공처리 등의 기능을 수행한다.

This study is aimed to develop system that can export height automatically with Hierarchical Delaunay Triangulation and finally provide profile of hydraulic channel using 3D terrain geometry model. In this study, by using the object-oriented technique, we developed the traverse and cross-section design system of agricultural facilities, which maintain a consistency in the irrigation design process. This system can design the traverse and cross-section profile for the line type facilities. The results of this study, as for the design based on geography, after carrying out the modeling by using TIN of which employs Delaunays algorithm, it was found that the latitudinal design of the facility is feasible. And, as for the formulation of TIN, we obtained more precise result from using contour, stream, and road data rather than using the contour by itself.

The HIBRAND located in Yangjaedong, Seochogu, Seoul is a large complex shopping center of total space 48,000 p'yongs which consists of a nineteen-story business facility and a six-story sale facility. In the case of a big construction work in the downtown, they are suffered much difficulty by construction period and working space lack. They, however, can satisfy construction period, constructability and quality using a PC system in HIBRAND. Also, we maximized the advantage of each material being the abreast of a RC and steel structure method partially and devised a reasonable copula. A PC system with advantages of construction period, constructability and quality assurance should be actively practiced to big downtown construction work.

Determining the layout of temporary facilities that support construction activities at a site is an important planning activity, as layout can significantly affect cost, quality of work, safety, and other aspects of the project. The construction site layout problem involves difficult combinatorial optimization. Recently, various artificial intelligence(AI)-based algorithms have been applied to solving many complex optimization problems, including neural networks(NN), genetic algorithms(GA), and swarm intelligence(SI) which relates to the collective behavior of social systems such as honey bees and birds. This study proposes a site facility layout optimization algorithm based on self-organizing maps(SOM). Computational experiments are carried out to justify the efficiency of the proposed method and compare it with particle swarm optimization(PSO). The results show that the proposed algorithm can be efficiently employed to solve the problem of site layout.

Chloric acid is a toxic chemical and the risk of facility handling chloric acid was assessed from the list of accident scenario to provide countermeasure to keep the vicinity safe. Accident scenarios were listed by using MSDS and process safety information. The scenarios having effect to the off-site were selected and assessed further according to guideline provided by Korea government. Worst case and alternative scenarios including other interested scenarios were evaluated using ALOHA. Each evaluated scenario was assessed further considering countermeasures. The results showed that the facility handling chloric acid is safe enough and needed no further protections at the moment.

Adsorption and desorption characteristics of methyl iodide at high temperature conditions up to $250^{\circ}C$ by TEDA-impregnated activated carbon, which is used for radioiodine retention in nuclear facility, was experimentally evaluated. In the range of temperature from $30^{\circ}C$ to $250^{\circ}C$, the adsorption capacity of base activated carbon decreased sharply with increasing temperature but that of TEDA-impregnated activated carbon showed higher value even at high temperature ranges. Especially, the desorption amount of methyl iodide on TEDA-impregnated carbon represented lower value than that on unimpregnated carbon. The breakthrough curves of methyl iodide in the fixed bed packed with base carbon and TEDA-impregnated activated carbon at high temperature were compared. TEDA-impregnated activated carbon would be applicable to adsorption process up to $150^{\circ}C$ for the removal of radioiodine in a nuclear facility.

In advanced nuclear reactors, the passive containment cooling has been suggested to enhance the safety. The passive cooling has two mechanisms, air natural convection and oater cooling with evaporation. To confirm the coolability of PCCS, many works have been performed experimentally and numerically. In this study, the water cooling test was performed to obtain the evaporative heat transfer coefficients in a scaled don segment type PCCS facility which have same configuration with AP600 prototype containment. Air-steam mixture temperature and velocity, relative humidity and well heat flux are measured. The local steam mass flow rates through the vertical plate part of the facility are calculated from the measured data to obtain evaporative heat transfer coefficients. The measured evaporative heat transfer coefficients are compared with an analytical model which use a mass transfer coefficients. From the comparison, the predicted coefficients show good agreement with experimental data however, some discrepancies exist when the effect of wave motion is not considered. Finally, a new correlation on evaporative heat transfer coefficients are developed using the experimental values.

Application field of neutron beam is very broad including industry, medicine and science. But the research and development and use of neutron beam is restricted within in narrow limits in this country, because neutron beam facility is insufficient - a big research facility of nuclear reactor(HANARO) and some small industrial facilities which use radioisotope neutron source are available. This paper compare and investigate the results of experiment and numerical analysis of the discharge in the spherically convergent beam fusion device which were expected as a portable neutron source. The spherically convergent beam fusion device will offer stability in neutron production, possibility of movement for convenience, low construction cost and higher neutron flux than radioisotope neutron source. The star mode discharge which efficiently generate neutron, were observed at both results.
