A self-diagnostic monitoring system is a system that has the ability to measure various physical quantities such as temperature, pressure, or acceleration from sensors scattered over a mechanical system such as a power plant, in order to monitor its various states, and to make a decision about its health status. We have developed a self-diagnostic monitoring system for an air-operated valve system to be used in a nuclear power plant. In this study, we have tried to improve the self-diagnostic monitoring system to increase its reliability. We have implemented three different machine learning algorithms, i.e., logistic regression, an artificial neural network, and a support vector machine. After each algorithm performs the decision process independently, the decision-making module collects these individual decisions and makes a final decision using a majority vote scheme. With this, we performed some simulations and presented some of its results. The contribution of this study is that, by employing more robust and stable algorithms, each of the algorithms performs the recognition task more accurately. Moreover, by integrating these results and employing the majority vote scheme, we can make a definite decision, which makes the self-diagnostic monitoring system more reliable.

In Korea, brucellosis has been reported periodically in cattle and rarely in dogs; however, it has not previously been screened in domestic animals such as elk, pigs and goats. To investigate the serological prevalence, serum samples were taken from the aforementioned animals annually during 2007-2013 and screened by the rose-bengal test (RBT) or modified RBT, after which positive sera were evaluated by the standard tube agglutination test (STAT). Finally, RBT and STAT-positive sera were confirmed by competitive-ELISA. Brucella abortus biovar 1 was isolated from three elk that were shown to be positive serologically in 2008. There was no evidence of brucellosis in pigs. Based on serological monitoring and investigation of etiological agents, there is no evidence of outbreak of brucellosis in elk, pigs or goats of Korea since 2008. However, the possibility for brucellosis from cattle to affect these other livestock exists; therefore, extensive and continuous serological monitoring is required to maintain their brucellosis-free status.

The intelligent human-machine interface (HMI) has been developed to enhance the safety and availability of a nuclear power plant by improving operational reliability The key elements of the HMI are the large display panels which present synopsis of the plant status and the compact, digital work stations for the primary operator control and monitoring functions. The work station consists of four consoles such as a dynamic alarm console (DAC), a system information console (SIC), a computerized operating-procedure console (COC), and a safety related information console (SRIC). The DAC provides clean alarm pictures, in which information overlapping is excluded and alarm impacts are discriminated, for quick situation awareness. The SIC covers a normal operation by offering all necessary plant information and control functions. In addition, it is closely linked with the DAC and the COC to automatically display related system information under the request of these consoles. The COC aids the operator with proper emergency operation guidelines so as to shutdown the plant safely, and it also reduces his physical/mental burden by automating the operating procedures. The SRIC continuously displays safety related information to allow the operator to assess the plant status focusing on plant safety. The proposed HMI has been validated and demonstrated with on-line data obtained from the full-scope simulator for Yonggwang Units 1,2.

The work described in this paper deals with the proposed application of an Artificial Neural Network Model for the Advanced Pressurized Water Reactor APR-1400 transient identification. The approach adopted for testing the network take note of the expectation which should be fulfilled by a network for real-time application, like testing with data in on-line mode and use of actual or real-life patterns for training. The recall test performed demonstrates that use of neural network for transient identification is indeed an attractive preposition.

A Structure Health Monitoring (SHM) system needs a real-time remote data acquisition system to monitor the status of a structure from anywhere via Internet access. In this paper, we present a data acquisition system that monitors up to 40 Fiber Bragg Grating Sensors remotely in real-time. Using a TCP/IP protocol, users can access information gathered by the sensors from anywhere. An experiment in laboratory conditions has been done to prove the feasibility of our proposed system, which is built in special-purpose monitoring system.

SCADA and DCS that have performed automatic control and monitoring activities increase the productivity of enterprise in industries. In such systems, although their performance had been improved, there are still many deficiencies in predictive maintenance which can foresee the risk of any kinds of accidents. Because the data acquisition systems of main facilities are being distributed throughout the whole plant and therefore, integration of data obtained from the systems is very difficult. Accordingly, techniques that acquire meaningful information from the gathered data through realtime analysis still need to be improved. This paper introduces a developed facility monitoring system which can predict equipment failure and diagnose facility status through big data analysis to improve equipment efficiency and prevent safety accidents.

원자로의 출력신호를 감시하는 노외중성자속감시계통의 열화상태를 점검하기 위해서는 원자로에서 방출되는 중성자 펄스를 감지하여 처리하는 전자카드에서 주파수형태로 감지하여 전압으로 변환한 후 대수 형태의 직류전압 값을 얻는 방법을 이용한다. 실제로 원전에서 적용하는 방법으로서는 주파수 카운터와 flip-flop 조합으로 이 과정을 수행하거나, 또는 다이오드펌프와 캐패시터의 조합을 이용하는 방법을 쓰며, 아직도 이 방법이 일반적으로 쓰이고 있다. 이 방법들은 높은 주파수에서는 신뢰성이 높으나 낮은 주파수에는 오차가 크고 측정시간도 오래 걸린다는 문제점이 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 고출력대의 고주파수 범위뿐만 아니라 중위출력 범위 주파수대, 그리고 극히 저출력 범위에 속해 있는 취약주파수대인 0.21 Hz~2 kHz 범위의 낮은 주파수대에 이르는 광범위한 주파수를 대수직류전압으로 신뢰성 높게 변환시킬 수 있는 장치를 개발하였다. 개발된 선택회로의 신뢰성을 확인하기 위하여 원전에서 사용되는 실제의 데이터값을 적용하여 테스트하였으며, 그 결과를 분석하여 선택회로의 정당성을 입증하였다.

This study developed a Safety Culture Impact Assessment Model (SCIAM) which consists of a safety culture assessment methodology and a safety culture impact quantification methodology. The SCIAM uses safety culture impact index (SCII) to monitor the status of safety culture of the NPPs periodically and it uses relative core damage frequency (RCDF) to present the impact of safety culture on the safety of the NPPs. As a result of applying SCIAM to the reference plant (Kori 3), the standard for the healthy safety culture of the reference plant is suggested. SCIAM might contribute to improve the safety of the NPPs (Nuclear Power Plants) by monitoring the status of safety culture periodically and presenting the standard of healthy safety culture.
