  • As one of the advanced design features of the APR1400, direct vessel injection (DVI) system is being considered instead of conventional cold leg injection (CLI) system. It is known that the DVI system greatly enhances the reliability of the emergency core cooling (ECC) system. However, there is still a dispute on its performance in terms of water delivery to the reactor core during the reflood phase of a large-break loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA). Thus, experimental validation is under progress. In this paper, test results of direct ECC bypass performed in the steam-water test facility tailed MIDAS (Multi-dimensional Investigation in Downcomer Annulus Simulation) are presented. The test condition is determined, based on the preliminary analysis of TRAC code, by applying the ‘modified linear scaling method’with the l/4.93 length scale . From the tests, ECC direct bypass fraction, steam condensation rate and information on the flow distribution in the upper annulus downcomer region are obtained.

  • Three small-break loss-of-coolant accident (SBLOCA) tests with safety injection pumps were carried out using the integral-effect test loop for SMART (System-integrated Modular Advanced ReacTor), i.e., the SMART-ITL facility. The types of break are a safety injection system line break, shutdown cooling system line break, and pressurizer safety valve line break. The thermal-hydraulic phenomena show a traditional behavior to decrease the temperature and pressure whereas the local phenomena are slightly different during the early stage of the transient after a break simulation. A safety injection using a high-pressure pump effectively cools down and recovers the inventory of a reactor coolant system. The global trends show reproducible results for an SBLOCA scenario with three different break locations. It was confirmed that the safety injection system is robustly safe enough to protect from a core uncovery.

  • Worldwide, avian influenza H9N2 viruses of different lineages are the most widespread viruses in poultry. However, to date, cases in Russia have not been documented. In this study, we report the first detection of a G1-like H9N2 virus from poultry sampled at live-bird markets in Russia (Far East region) during the winter of 2018 (isolate A/chicken/Amur_Russia/17/2018). We assume there has been further circulation of the A/chicken/Amur_Russia/17/2018 H9N2 virus in the Russian Far East with possible distribution to other regions or countries in 2018-2019.

  • The Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI) is planning the construction of the KIJANG Research Reactor (KJRR) for stable supply of 99Mo. The Fission 99Mo Production Process (FMPP) of KJRR produces solid waste such as spent uranium cake and alumina cake, and liquid waste in the form of intermediate level liquid waste (ILLW) and low level liquid waste (LLLW). This study thus established the operating range and optimum operating conditions for the cementation of ILLW from FMPP. It also evaluated whether cement waste form samples produced under optimum operational conditions satisfy the waste acceptance criteria (WAC) of a disposal facility in Korea (Korea radioactive waste agency, KORAD). Considering economic feasibility and safety, optimum operational conditions were achieved at a w/c ratio of 0.55, and the corresponding salt content was 5.71 wt%. The cement waste form samples prepared under optimum operational conditions were found to satisfy KORAD's WAC when tested for structural stability and leachability. The results indicate that the proposed cementation conditions for the disposal of ILLW from FMMP can be effectively applied to KJRR's disposal facility.

  • Recently, Urban has been innovated through u-City and Smart City. Urban facility management system is developing using the latest IT technology for real-time monitoring and prevention. In this paper, we propose an UOID(Unique Object IDentification), a standard location-based ID system for urban facility object and develop the UOID service system based on network for innovation of urban facility management system. The system has been tested through Test-bed for connectivity and stability. We wish that the proposed UOID and network service system manages u-City facilities effectively and also provides various ubiquitous services to the citizen, one of the integrate service of u-City platform.

  • The aim of the current study was to investigate the impact of store attribute satisfaction on intentions of revisit and recommendation among clothing consumers. The data were collected from 319 consumers through survey and frequency analysis, reliability analysis, factor analysis, and multiple regression analysis were used to obtain results. The findings were as follows: 1. From factor analysis, seven factors were distracted: Fact 1(brand and price), Fact 2(store's facility and environment), Fact 3(product), Fact 4(transportation convenience and access), Fact 5(selling and advertisement), Fact 6(store's atmosphere), and Fact 7(salesman's service). 2. Four factors had statistically significant influence on overall satisfaction of clothing consumers. The most influential factor was Fact 2(store's facility and environment) and Fact 5(selling and advertisement), Fact 1(brand and price), and Fact 4(transportation convenience and access) showed their effects on overall satisfaction in an hierarchical rank-order following Fact 2. 3. Four factors such as Fact 2(store's facility and environment), Fact 1(brand and price), Fact 4(transportation convenience and access) and Fact 5(selling and advertisement) in an hierarchical rank-order from Fact 1 had statistically significant impact on intentions of revisit. 4. Six factors such as Fact 1(brand and price), Fact 2(store's facility and environment), Fact 3(product), Fact 5(selling and advertisement), Fact 6(store's atmosphere), and Fact 7(salesman's service) in an hierarchical rank-order from Fact 1 had statistically significant influence on the intention of recommendation. 5. The results further showed that among seven factors, Fact 1(brand and price), 'Fact 2(store's facility and environment), and Fact 5(selling and advertisement) had impact on both the intention of revisit and the intention of recommendation.

  • Infection of the disease that are propagated through a dead body of management and transportation must be very careful. Risk of infection that can occur between the deceased body and funeral directors, guideline of the preparation room and infection route of infection source has been studies in Korea. But the funeral director's working circumstances and infection blocking facility of the funeral home has not been studied in Korea. So we are investigated about the state of the working circumstances and Infection blocking facility within Metropolitan, Chungcheong and Gyeongsang regions in Korea. The result is as follows. The funeral directors have shown that there is difficult to get safe protection from infection. The personal hygiene of funeral directors and the infection blocking facility should be strengthened institutionally. We are thought to require more in-depth research about the working circumstances of funeral director and the infection blocking facility.

  • The accommodative facility test can be use the very benetit in visual function test. The purpose of this study was mainly to check the binocular function and to estimate the amount of accommodation with the hand held flipper. It was measured as the subjective time needed to clear an accommodative target (20/20 letters) at 40 em through +/-2.00 D flipper(Bernell Corp., USA). The subjects have an irrespective of sex and no eye disease. Seventy five of youth applicants participated for the accommodative facility test. The reagents using the flipper had higher expected value than the other reagents. In test for the binocular function, the accommodative facility test is a important part due to a serviceable and simple examination. Therefore, these binocular checkup have to be developed through a survey of normative value in the near future.

  • The safety case program has been prepared for the development of the disposal facility of low- and intermediate-level radioactive waste in Korea. For the development of the radioactive waste disposal facility, this program can be applied for the safety demonstration of the facility and for the safety judgment of development step based on the international standards and domestic development environment. Systematic safety approach of this program includes the safety strategies such as optimization, robustness, demonstrability and defense-in-depth principle which are based on the safety principle and objectives. From the quality of assessment basis, safety arguments focused on the uncertainty management and the confidence building can assure the disposal safety during the step-wise safety assessment.
