  • Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine and improve the issues related to National Safety Inspection currently operation and reform the system for response to various disasters. Method: For the completion, this study established theoretical background using materials related to National Safety Inspection and identified the issues using the open statistical data for National Safety Inspection to suggest the improvement plans. Results: National Safety Inspection has been operating a complete large-scale inspection on risk factors in cooperation with the central government, local governments, and citizens since 2015 to remove various disaster factors neglected in people's daily lives. Operation of National Safety Inspection had positive influence in preventing major disasters. However, inefficient activity is pointed out due to issues related to cooperation with other institutes, limitation for citizen's positional role, and superficial inspection. Conclution: To solve this issue, this study proposed strengthening of communication activity with disaster institutes, strengthening of efficiency through citizen participation by type, and actualization of checklist used in National Safety Inspection.

  • The safety of metal cask and concrete cask storage technology has been verified by CRIEPI through several research programs on demonstrative testing for the interim storage of spent fuel. The results have been reflected in the safety requirements for dry casks issued by NISA/METI (Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency, Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry) of the Japanese government. On top of that, spent fuel integrity has been studied by the Japan Nuclear Energy Safety Organization (JNES). This paper reviews these research programs. Future issues include the long-term integrity of cask components and high burn-up spent fuel.

  • In this study, supervision resides fire mission against problems associated with case studies and surveys done through the side of the field work, technical personnel, fire management, including fire code aspects classified into three kinds of items dealt with the issue. Started at the scene of the problem in terms of performance, the issue of the construction process, mainly dealt with the issue at the time of completion. Fire management side, supervisor of technical personnel, human resources management issues, contract issues, fire code level, the frequent revisions of fire regulations, supervision, processing delays of the resulting report, the problem resides with the expansion of Fire Supervision target was mentioned. Finally, the target for each hierarchical supervision, and resident supervisor of the need for supervision of work performance test was carried out by the correlation.

  • The introduction of the OHSMS(occupational health and safety management system) into the enterprise has been increased. But, to prevent accidents and take the value creation effectively, it is recommended that this system and the other management system based on business process should integrate. This paper deals with the present conditions and business values of OHSMS, KOSHA 2000, OHSAS 18001 and/or K-OHSMS 18001, which have introduced to Korea since 1997. By reviewing literature, we analyzed study trends in the development of quantitative and qualitative certification standards and the assessment methods of OHSMS. Also, we can summarize the field issues related to installment and operation of OHSMS : motivation, advantage, problems, obstacles, lessons, and revitalization. And then we can suggest issues of the integrated management system such as background, purpose, adoption view, and the integration types.

  • The Tohoku earthquake (Mw9.0) occurred on March 11, 2011 and caused a large tsunami. The Fukushima Dai-ichi NPP (F1-NPP) were overwhelmed by the tsunami and core damage occurred. This paper describes the overview of F1-NPP accident and the usability of tsunami PRA at Tohoku earthquake. The paper makes reference to the following current issues: influence on seismic hazard of gigantic aftershocks and triggered earthquakes, concepts for evaluating core damage frequency considering common cause failure with correlation coefficient against seismic event at multi units and sites, and concepts of "seismic-tsunami PSA" considering a combination of seismic motion and tsunami effects.

  • The need for a PSA (Probabilistic Safety Assessment) for a multi-unit at a site is growing after the Fukushima accident. Many countries have been studying issues regarding a multi-unit PSA. One of these issues is the problem of many combinations of accident sequences in a multi-unit PSA. This paper deals with the methodology and software to quantify a PSA scenarios for a multi-unit site. Two approaches are developed to quantify a multi-unit PSA. One is to use a minimal cut set approach, and the other is to use a Monte Carlo approach.

  • Analyzing the frequency and correlation of the news keywords in the modern society that are becoming complicated according to the time flow is a very important research to discuss the response and solution to issues. This paper analyzed the relationship between the flow of social keyword and major issues through the analysis of news big data for 10 years (2009~2018). In this study, political issues, education and social culture, gender conflicts and social problems were presented as major issues. And, to study the change and flow of issues, it analyzed the change of the issue by dividing it into five years. Through this, the changes and countermeasures of social issues were studied. As a result, the keywords (economy, police) that are closely related to the people's life were analyzed as keywords that are very important in our society regardless of the flow of time. In addition, keyword such as 'safety' have decreased in increasing rate compared to frequency in recent years. Through this, it can be inferred that it is necessary to improve the awareness of safety in our society.

  • Using a sample of 220 employees in small and medium sized companies in Chungcheong and Gyeonggi provinces, we proposed that the companies' organizational communication on safety issues will positively influence employees' safety compliance and participation. And also, the companies' organizational communication will negatively influence the frequency of industrial accidents. The results of this study supported the hypotheses, implying that the frequency of industrial accidents will be decreasing if the company officially communicates with its employees in terms of the safety issues.
