시험편을 용접할때 사용한 용접 변수의 기록서인 PQR(Procedure Qualification Record)은, 용접구조물을 제작하는 제조 업체에서, 수시로 PQ Test를 수행하여 작성되고 있으며, 가장 기본적이고 중요한 용접 데이터이기 때문에 소중하게 관리되고 있다. 그리고, PQR의 수량이 많아지면, 관리에 많은 어려움이 따르고, 필요 한 데이터를 찾는데 많은 시간이 소요될뿐만 아니라, 정확한 데이터를 찾아내는 것도 쉽지가 않다. 따라서, PQR 관리 시스템을 개발하여, PQR의 데이터를 쉽게 활용하고, 자료 검색을 간단하게 할 수 있으며, PQR의 작성을 간편하게 하고자 PQR 관리 시스템 을 개발 하였다. 본 시스템의 특징은 PQR 양식을 새롭게 표준화하여 출력할 수 있게 하였고, PQR 작성을 처음 시작하는 사용자도 쉽게 배워 업무에 적용할 수 있다. 이는 용접 전문가의 노하우가 데이터 베이스에 내재되어 있어 서로 관련된 정보의 반복 입력이 적으며, 한 개의 데이터로 다른 데이터가 자동 결정되고, 데이터의 입력방식 이 키인(Keyboard Input)이 아닌 리스트(List)에서 선택하는 방식으로 하였다. 또한, 용접부 개선 형상의 Outline을 제공하여 수작업의 부담을 줄였으며, 검색의 기능이 강력하여 검색조건 선정에 제한이 없다. 그러므로, 본 시스템은 전반적으로 용접전문 가의 지식을 프로그래밍한 지능성, 전문성, 복합성을 가진 시스템이라 할 수 있다. 본 고에서는 ASME CODE에 따라서 작성되는 PQR의 관리 시스템을 소개하고자 한다.

This report analyzes the Source Qualification Test which is composed of main functional and environmental tests for the localizing avionics(electronic subsystem for aircrafts and spacecraft) and high performance mechanical subsystem. Especially the detail test approaches of integrated servo actuators which is the main part to supply the power to the main and other flying control panel. Nowadays this subsystem works with mechanical and electrical engineering technique. In detail, electrical signal is used as input and transferring tool and mechanical part is the output as a power and manufacture the physical dimensions and functions. Finally in this review, the new test procedure to prove the function by the new manufacturer is established.

The number of North Korean refugees entering South Korea since the mid 1990s has increased continuously and recently the number has reached 2 million people, which is expected to continue to rise. In the meantime, the government of South Korea has been developing various means to help the North Korean refugees take part in our society and to increase their self-reliance. In this study, improvements were made to systems where North Korean national qualifications are made eligible for use in South Korea, to help them better adapt to our society. The research conducted a Delphi survey of 70 professional qualified workers, training specialists, qualified professionals, researchers and government agents, and 6 interviews were carried out to North Korean refugees and qualified judges. The results complement the current system, in terms of eligibility qualification procedures, where the department's role in its qualification procedure is enhanced and practical experiences are added to the procedure.

The purpose of this study is to identify and develop a rubric for assessing the practice test in national technical qualification with validity and objectivity. There are three specific purposes for this study. First. we suggest some issues to consider when we develop a rubric. Second, we suggest the general procedure and main factors in developing a rubric. Third, we identify some problems and suggest some improvement measures for the rubric in national technical qualification examination. The procedure for developing a rubric is as follows; decisions of task, the relation with goal, classify of performance level, and validity. Also, there are five main factors as follows; contents, criteria, practicality, credibility, and objectivity.

Seismic qualification by test is widely used as a way to show the integrity and functionality of equipment that is related to the overall safety of nuclear power plants. Another means of seismic qualification is by direct integration analysis. Both approaches require a series of time histories as an input. However, in most cases, the possibility of using real earthquake data is limited. Thus, artificial time histories are widely used instead. In many cases, however, response spectra are given. Thus, most of the artificial time histories are generated from the given response spectra. Obtaining the response spectrum from a given time history is straightforward. However, the procedure for generating artificial time histories from a given response spectrum is difficult and complex to understand. Thus, this paper presents a simple time-domain method for generating a time history from a given response spectrum; the method was shown to satisfy conditions derived from nuclear regulatory guidance.

Due to developments in information technology and ensuing changes in the concept of time and space, the significance of national boundaries has been weakened, bringing to attention the heightened competition among nations. In order to respond to these transformations, the Korean government is increasing its efforts to raise the authenticity of the National Technology Qualification System(NTQS) by closely linking NTQS testing method and procedure to practical knowledge and skills in the industry field. This initiative is based on the recognition that the human resources development is a crucial factor in determining a nation's competitiveness. This study aimed, first of all, to diagnose the problems directly and indirectly affecting the testing method in the current NTQS. And then, differentiated solutions according to grade and improvements in the testing infrastructure were suggested. The ultimate purpose was to provide a blueprint for enhancing national competitiveness through increased authenticity and efficiency of the NTQS. Research methods applied during this study include: the collection and review of qualification-related literature; a series of conferences with leading experts; interviews with vocational educators and researchers from qualification-related institutes; a survey of national qualification holders from a variety of professions and industries; and participatory observation at qualification exam centers. This research suggested policy recommendations as follows; First, measures to improve for testing method of professional engineer Second, measures to improve for testing method of Master craftsman Third, measures to improve for testing method of Engineer, Industrial Engineer, Craftsman Fourth, plans for the establishment of operation system for a computerized testing Fifth, institutional perspective on establishing qualification infrastructure Sixth, operational perspective on establishing qualification infrastructure

In order to develop technology for an equipment qualification (EQ) test, which is an important process in localizing solenoid-operated valves used in nuclear power plants, we analyzed related regulations, test procedures, conditions, equipment, and acceptance criteria. EQ regulations for the solenoid-operated valve are classified as law, guide, and standard, and are subdivided according to test specimens and contents. The EQ test is composed of functional, normal-, and accident- condition tests. The solenoid-operated valve is aged under normal and accident conditions, which are predicted in the design conditions of a nuclear power plant, and the performance of the valve is measured by a functional test. The test method and procedure analyzed in this paper might be very useful for manufacturers as well as EQ testers.

Since the 2000s, mechanical parking lots have become an increasingly common solution to serious parking difficulties in urban areas. While safety regulations are in place, they can avert or minimize accidents only when drivers understand and comply with them, and so do not always prevent drivers from making mistakes. As a result, the number of serious accidents caused by driver errors continues to increase in proportion to the rapid increase in vehicles. Most of these accidents are caused by abnormal vehicle entry, despite the safeguards already in place. Therefore, in this thesis, we will study the vehicle entry prevention system and suggest how it can be made more effective in stopping or minimizing accidents.

In the thermal-hydraulic design, the effect of fuel rod bow is quantified tv the rod bow DNBR penalty which is a key design parameter to assure the coolability of fuel assembly in the pressurized water reactor. In this work, a computer program for the evaluation of the rod bow DNBR penalty based on Westinghouse methodology is developed and its application procedure is proposed. The computer simulation is based on the Monte-Carlo method. The qualification of developed computer program is performed by a comparison of calculational result with that given by Westinghouse's document. A new application procedure is built using batch mean and batch standard deviation. The normality of sample population generated by the batch calculation is confirmed by means of a chi-square test for goodness of fit. On the view point of statistics it is effected that the more reliable design value may be produced by the new application procedure.
