본 연구는 AVHRR(Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer)과 MODIS(MODerate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) 위성관측을 바탕으로 산출된 남한지역의 장기간(1981-2006년) 순 일차생산량(Net Primary Production, NPP)의 시공간적 변화를 분석하고 그 변화에 영향을 미치는 기후요소와의 상관성을 분석하였다. 남한지역의 AVHRR과 MODIS에서는 연간순 열차생산량이 AVHRR의 경우 893-1068 $g{\cdot}C/m^2$ /yr과 MODIS의 경우 610-695 $g{\cdot}C/m^2$/yr로 나타나고 있으며 두 자료는 통계적으로 약 325 $g{\cdot}C/m^2$/yr 의 차이를 보이고 있다. 해상도 등의 차이가 있으나 지상 관측과 비교한 결과 MODIS 센서에 의한 관측이 보다 근접한 결과를 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 위성관측자료 분석결과 NPP 값은 식생의 밀도가 높은 산림지역 및 연평균기온이 높은 지역에서 큰 것으로 나타났다. 두개의 위성센서로 산출된 순 열차생산량은 경년변화가 다소 크지만, 각각 장기간에 걸쳐 서서히 증가하고 있는 것으로 나타났으며 1981-2000년 동안 AVHRR에서 매년 평균 2.14 $g{\cdot}C/m^2$/yr, 2000-2006년 동안 MODIS에서 매년 평균 6.08 $g{\cdot}C/m^2$/yr 만큼 증가하였다. 특히 남서해안 지역은 두 위성관측결과 모두 순 일차생산량의 증가가 상대적으로 높았다. 토지피복 지도와 대조결과 그 이유는 논 밭 등의 관개와 비료시용에 의한 농작물의 생산성 증대와 관계가 있는 것으로 추정된다. NPP값은 월별 강수량 및 평균기온에 밀접한 관계가 있는 것으로 확인되었으며, 특히 남한지역의 여름몬순시기에서 강수량과 기온이 모두 가장 큰 상관관계를 보이고 있다. NPP 절대값의 차이 외에도 두 센서로 산출된 순 일차생산량과 기후요소와의 상관성 등의 차이는 두 자료의 토양호흡 등을 포함하는 등 위성자료 복원과정 및 관련 모텔의 차이에 의해 발생하는 것으로 사료된다. 또한 향후 보다 정확한 순 일차생산량을 계산하기 위해 복원과정에서 기상 실측자료 및 보다 현실적인 토지피복 등을 고려해야 할 것이다.

Because of limited resources of time and information processing capability during abnormal situation, diagnosis is difficult tasks in nuclear power plant (NPP) operators. Moreover since minimizing of adverse consequences according to process abnormalities is vital for the safety of NPP, introducing of diagnosis support systems have particularly emphasized. However, considerable works to develop effective diagnostic support system are not sufficiently fulfilled because of the complexity of NPP is one of the major problems. To cope with this complexity, a lot of model-based diagnosis support systems have considered and implemented worldwide. In this paper, as a prior step to development of model-based diagnosis support systems, primary side of pressurized water reactor is functionally modeled by multilevel flow modeling (MFM) concept. MFM is suitable for complex system modeling and for diagnosis of abnormalities. Furthermore, knowledge-based diagnosis process, of NPP operator could be supported because this diagnosis strategy can represent operator's one.

The Emergency Diesel Generator (EDG) is a critical and essential part of the Nuclear Power Plant (NPP). Due to past catastrophic disasters, critical systems of NPP like EDG are designed to meet high dependability requirements. Therefore, we propose a framework for the dynamic reliability assessment using the Fault Tree and the Dynamic Bayesian Network. In this framework, the information of the component's failure probability is updated based on observed data. The framework is powerful to perform qualitative as well as quantitative analysis of the system. The validity of the framework is done by applying it on several NPP systems.

Procedures play a key role in ensuring safe operation at nuclear power plants (NPPs). Development and maintenance of a large number of procedures reflecting the best knowledge available in all relevant areas is a complex job. This paper introduces a newly developed methodology and the implemented software, called iExtractor, for the extraction of syntactic and semantic information from NPP procedures utilizing natural language processing (NLP)-based technologies. The steps of the iExtractor integrated with sets of rules and an ontology for NPPs are described in detail with examples. Case study results of the iExtractor applied to selected procedures of a U.S. commercial NPP are also introduced. It is shown that the iExtractor can provide overall comprehension of the analyzed procedures and indicate parts of procedures that need improvement. The rich information extracted from procedures could be further utilized as a basis for their enhanced management.

The fulcrum of economic development is a sustainable supply of electricity. Nigeria is plagued with blackouts, with one of the lowest per capita electricity consumption in the world (circa. 120 kWh per capita). Hence, policies have been instigated to integrate electricity generation from nuclear power plants (NPP) on or before 2027. However, a critical requirement for NPP generation is the implementation of robust human resource development (HRD) programs. This paper presents the perspective of Nigeria in assessing human resources needs over the entire NPP lifecycle following the milestone approach and employing the IAEA's Nuclear Power Human Resource (NPHR) modeling tool. Three workforce organizations are in focus including the owner/operator, regulators, and construction workers following three decades timeframe (2015-2045). The results indicate that for the study period, a maximum of approximately 9045 personnel (73% construction workers, 24% owner/operator, and 3% regulators) should be directly involved in the NPP program just before the commissioning of the third NPP in 2033. However, this number decreases by about 73% (2465 personnel including 94% operator and 6% regulator) at the end of the study timeframe. The results can potentially provide clarity and guidance in HRD decision-making programs.

원자력 발전소의 가압기는 1차 계통의 냉각재가 고온에서도 기화되지 않도록 압력을 가해주는 장치이다. 즉, 가압기의 고장은 원자력 발전소에 큰 영향을 미칠 수 있으며, 따라서, 가압기의 조기 고장 감지는 원자력 발전소의 안전에 매우 중요하다. 이를 위해, 본 연구에서는 마할라노비스 거리 개념과 다구찌 품질 공학 이론에 기반한 패턴 분류 인식 알고리즘 중 하나인 마할라노비스 다구찌 시스템(MTS)을 가압기 압력 제어 계통의 조기 고장 감지에 적용하였다. MTS의 고장 감지 성능을 검증하기 위해, 실제 원자력 발전소에서 발생하고 있는 가압기 압력전송기 고장 시나리오를 대상으로 하여, Full Scope 시뮬레이터를 통해 모사된 데이터에 적용하였다. 실험 결과, MTS는 단일 센서모니터링 기반의 전통적인 고장 감지에 비하여 매우 빠르게 고장을 감지할 수 있었다.

This paper represents the wall thinning analysis results for secondary side piping of two types of domestic nuclear power plants based on the DB establishment and F AC analysis study for NPP secondary system piping. CHECWORKS code utilized in this study has been applied world widely to wall thinning analyses for secondary side piping and its reliability has also been proved. The predicted wear rates for several piping systems of a pressurized water reactor NPP are compared with those of a pressurized heavy water reactor NPP and with the measured wear rates. On the basis of comparison results of the predicted and measured wear rates, the analysis results can be effectively applied to the development of a standard thinned pipe management program targeted all domestic nuclear power plants.

The porvision against earthquakes and aseismic design of nuclear power plants (NPPs) in Korea are composed of four stages: site-selection, design, construction, and operation stages, Since regulatory criteria are strictly applied in each stage, the NPPs in Korea are believed to have a sufficient safety against maximum potential earthquakes. However, it has been recognized that those regulatory criteria borrowed from U.S. should be replace by Korea-specific ones by using earthquake data obtained from earthquake observation at and around NPP sites. Also, the government made a plan after the Yongwol and th Kyongju earthquakes that the regulatory body operates an independent earthquake network in order to reinforce the earthquake preparedness of NPPs. In compliance with the government's plan, this project is aiming at deployment of an earthquake motoring network composed of four seismic stations at NPP sites to record earthquake ground motions at NPP sites, to derive attenuation formulas of various ground motions and site-specific response spectra, and to develop structural intergrity assesment program.

미국(美國) Wisconsin주(州) Plainfield에 있는 35년생(年生) Red pine(Pinus resinosa Ait.) 간벌조림지(間伐造林地)에서 Biomass와 Net Primary Prodnction (NPP)을 추정(推定)하였다. 지상부(地上部) Biomass는 ha당(當) 97.3ton이었고 이중 수간목부(樹幹木部) Biomass가 67.8%, 지조부(枝條部)가 15.4%, 엽(葉)이 8.4%, 수피(樹皮)가 6.1%를 구성하고 있었다. NPP는 $11.5Mg\;ha^{-1}yr^{-1}$로 추정되었고 그중 수간목부(樹幹木部)는 30.4%, 엽(葉)은 25.2%, 지조(枝條)는 36.5%, 수피(樹皮)가 2.6%이었다. Red pine의 다른 추정공식을 사용하였을때 Biomass에 차이가 있었다. 그차이는 주로 수간목부(樹幹木部)의 비중(比重)과 흉고형수(胸高形數)의 차이로 인한 것이었다.
