The small punch test have been developed to evaluate the material strength of the power plant components. This small punch test specimen is very small than the conventional strength test specimens. Korea Electric Power Research Institute (KEPRI) have been applying this test to assess accurately the life of thermal power plant and enhancing the reliability. The small punch test for gas turbine blades is under development. It's possible to compare the relative strength among the same materials having different operation histories. In this paper, the strength reductions of gas turbine materials are investigated by the small punch tests. All materials shows the almost same strength and deformation with the allowable deviation. At the same test temperature, the damaged material has the maximum load value. The strength reduction is not shown in this small punch test results.

희생양극법에 의한 발전소 복수기 수실의 음극방식 효과를 수치해석을 이용하여 알아보았다. 복수기는 해수설비중의 하나로 여러 재질로 구성되어 있는데 방식을 하지 않은 경우 수실과 tubesheet와의 갈바닉 부식이 심하게 발생되며, 수실벽과 갈바닉 부식이 심하게 일어나는 부위에 희생양극을 부탁하면 많은 방식효과가 있음을 알 수 있었다. 수치해석 결과의 타당성 검토로서 model test를 행한 결과 수치해석 결과와 실험치가 잘 일치하였다

Fire blight disease caused by the bacterium, Erwinia amylovora, was observed in apple and pear orchards in Korea in 2015. Since then, it has spread, sometimes over long distances to other orchards. Therefore, we examined the ability of E. amylovora to survive in soils and on the surfaces of common materials such as T-shirts, wrist bands, pruning shears, and rubber boots by both conventional PCR (cPCR) and quantitative PCR (qPCR) methods. E. amylovora was detected in all materials tested in this study and survived for sufficiently long periods to cause fire blight disease in new sites. Thus, based on the results of this study, sanitation protocols must be applied to equipment during orchard work.

Radioactive materials are released from the molten core into the containment at the time of a severe accident in a nuclear power plant (NPP). Filtered containment venting system is a popular and effective safety measure installed to obstruct the uncontrolled escape of radioactive materials due to the over pressurization of the containment. Different designs of filtered containment venting system (FCVS) are available today, each being the result of extensive research and development varying in one way or the other. This paper gives an elaborate description of the different types of FCVS currently being used, the current usage status in over 17 countries and the legislations regarding it. The recent researches being carried out in this field has also been discussed in detail. This present paper focuses on the critical review of existing FCVS, reports the challenges faced by it and highlights the potential developments to overcome the difficulties.

The chloroplast genome of Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch was sequenced to investigate intraspecific variations on the chloroplast genome. Its length is 127,689 bp long (34.3% GC ratio) with atypical structure of chloroplast genome, which is congruent to those of Glycyrrhiza genus. It includes 110 genes (76 protein-coding genes, four rRNAs, and 30 tRNAs). Intronic region of ndhA presented the highest nucleotide diversity based on the six G. uralenesis chloroplast genomes. A total of 150 single nucleotide polymorphisms and 10 insertion and deletion (INDEL) regions were identified from the six G. uralensis chloroplast genomes. Phylogenetic trees show that the six chloroplast genomes of G. uralensis formed the two clades, requiring additional studies to understand it.

Recently, the construction industry has focused on eco-friendly materials instead of traditional materials due to their harmful effects on the environment. To this end, biopolymers are among proper choices to improve the geotechnical behavior of problematic soils. In the current study, serish biopolymer is introduced as a new binder for the purpose of sand improvement. Serish is a natural polysaccharide extracted from the roots of Eremurus plant, which mainly contains inulins. The effect of serish biopolymer on sand treatment has been investigated through performing unconfined compressive strength (UCS), California bearing ratio (CBR), as well as wind erosion tests. The results demonstrated that serish increased the compressive strength of dune sand in both terms of UCS and CBR. Also, wind erosion resistance of the sand was considerably improved as a result of treatment with serish biopolymer. A microstructural study was also conducted via SEM images; it can be seen that serish coated the sand particles and formed a strong network.

Since the HF release in 2012 in Korea, it became one of the most significant to evaluate consequence to the vicinity of industry facilities handling hazardous materials. BTX plant is selected to assess off-site risk to check whether the facility satisfies the Chemical Control Law by Korea Government. Accident scenarios were listed using 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.

저급 에너지인 폐기물로부터 고부가 합성가스를 생산하고 온실가스 저감 연구를 동시에 수행하기 위하여 $1000-1400^{\circ}C$의 고온에서 순산소 가스화 연구를 수행하였다. 폐기물 시료로는 RPF (Refused Plastic Fuel)를 이용하였으며 실험 장치로는 열중량 분석기와 0.5 ton/day의 pilot plant 가스화 시스템을 이용하였다. 열중량 분석기에서는 이산화탄소에 의한 RPF 촤(char)의 가스화 실험을 수행하여 온도에 따른 중량 변화를 고찰하고 Boudouard reaction에 의해 일산화탄소가 생성되는 것을 확인하였다. 또한, 0.5 ton/day pilot plant system에서 RPF의 순산소 가스화를 통하여 고농도의 수소를 함유한 합성가스를 생산하였다. 생산된 합성가스는 수송용 연료 생산과 화학제품 생산에 가능한 수소와 일산화 탄소의 비율을 나타내었다.

In the present study, the frequency of the undesired accident was estimated for a quantitative risk assessment of a large-scale hydrogen liquefaction plant. As a representative example, the hydrogen liquefaction plant located in Ingolstadt, Germany was chosen. From the analysis of the liquefaction process and operating conditions, it was found that a $LH_2$ storage tank was one of the most dangerous facilities. Based on the accident scenarios, frequencies of possible accidents were quantitatively evaluated by using both fault tree analysis and event tree analysis. The overall expected frequency of the loss containment of hydrogen from the $LH_2$ storage tank was $6.83{\times}10^{-1}$times/yr (once per 1.5 years). It showed that only 0.1% of the hydrogen release from the $LH_2$ storage tank occurred instantaneously. Also, the incident outcome frequencies were calculated by multiplying the expected frequencies with the conditional probabilities resulting from the event tree diagram for hydrogen release. The results showed that most of the incident outcomes were dominated by fire, which was 71.8% of the entire accident outcome. The rest of the accident (about 27.7%) might have no effect to the population.

본 연구에서는 국내 4개 화력발전소에서 발생되는 석탄 바닥재를 이용하여 유황 고형화 성형물을 제작하였으며, 이를 이용하여 산업용 건자재 제조를 위한 실용적 데이터에 대하여 고찰하였다. 이러한 유황 고형화 성형물 제조를 위하여, 일축 스크류 형태의 연속식 혼합기를 사용하였다. 또한, 혼합기의 운전 특성으로 인하여, 1.2 mm 이하의 잔골재로서 석탄 바닥재가 사용되었다. 15, 20, 25, 30 wt%의 다양한 유황 농도의 성형물을 제조되었을 때, 압축강도 특성이 분석 되었다. 그리고 높은 생석회 함량의 석탄 바닥재가 사용되었을 때, 시제품에서 균열이 발생하였고 침투액의 pH가 12 이상을 나타내었다. 이러한 실험 결과들은 석탄 바닥재의 재활용 기술에 효과적으로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.
