Key concepts in South Korean nuclear safety regulation are safety and risk. Nuclear regulation in South Korea has required reactor designs and safeguards that reduce the risk of a major accident to less than one in a million reactor-years-a risk supposedly low enough to be acceptable. To date, in South Korean nuclear safety regulation has involved the establishment of many technical standards to enable administration enforcement. In scientific lawsuits in which the legal issue is the validity of specialized technical standards that are used for judge whether a particular nuclear power plant is to be licensed, the concept of uncertainty law is often raised with regard to what extent the examination and judgment by the judicial power affects a discretion made by the administrative office. In other words, the safety standards for nuclear power plants has been adapted as a form of the scientific technical standards widely under the idea of uncertainty law. Thus, the improvement of nuclear safety regulation in South Korea seems to depend on the rational lawmaking and a reasonable, judicial examination of the scientific standards on nuclear safety.

In this study, a GIS-based park safety assessment index was developed to enable objective park vulnerability assessment through data-based GIS analysis, a safety assessment was conducted by selecting a target site where various parks are operated and applying the park safety assessment index. In addition, a facility management system was developed for efficient management of the park safety assessment to update the park safety and provide a foothold for indirect PPGIS. In the case of the assessment index of the safety rating of the park, it was possible to conclude that the accurate quantitative performance was given to the calculation of the safety grade of the park based on the fact that the facilities are different depending on the environment and the size of the park. In addition, the marking the safety grade of parks, as well as the function to show the safety facilities of parks, a common living area for citizens, the management system is expected to have an impact on promoting the use of parks. In the future, in functions such as reporting of facility failures and verifying civil information are implemented by applying civic group participation programs and crowd-sourcing technologies, it is believed that all facilities as well as parks managed by the local government can be managed more efficiently.

The purpose of this case study is to discuss the issues and challenges pertaining to industrial safety. The case study begins with the shocking incident of the brutal killing of top-executive of the company by agitated workers. Inspite of having conducive environment for business, Italian subsidiary Robusto Muro Ltd had to confront industrial Relations issues at an incredible and unprecedented level. Management perspective, workers viewpoint, competitors approach and diplomatic comments by political bigwigs have also been incorporated so that the students may have 3-dimensional understanding of the scenario. The case of such genre will facilitate the students to comprehend and discuss the employee-employer relationship and industrial safety, in particular and industrial relations and IR machinery, in general.

In this study, the concept of safety impact assessment to achieve 'Design-for-Safety' in design phase is introduced. For this purpose, safety impact assessment model was devised and a methodology using the risk-based safety impact assessment approach for NATM of tunnel projects is suggested. The suggested methodology includes safety information survey, classification of safety impact factors caused by design and construction, and quantitative estimation of magnitude and frequency of safety impact factors. A real-world case study on the safety impact assessment of a tunnel construction project is also provided in the paper.

The PL(Product Liability) Law has been going into effect in Korea since July 2002. Accordingly, a company's responsibility for customers who are damaged by the defect in the product safety has been gradually strict and imposed burden on management. Not only general consumers but also labors who work with machine in the field of production are included in the concept of victim of the PL Law. That is to say, when a worker is damaged by the defect of machine he can institute a PL lawsuit more aggressively, not just get the industrial accident compensation as usual, only if not his own fault but the defect of machine used in the course of production can be demonstrated. This paper intends to present suggestions to PL prevention of manufacturing companies of industrial machine through the case research of PL accidents in the area of industrial safety.

As the number, complexity and interaction of electrical, electronic and programmable electronic (E/E/PE) systems increase, a growing emphasis has been placed on the concept of functional safety during product development. IEC 61508 provides guidelines and standardized procedures in the development of reliable and dependable E/E/PE systems to assure functional safety. Determining risk classes (i.e., safety integrity levels, SILs) associated to a specific E/E/PE item may be recognized as one of the most crucial activities in the product development per IEC 61508 since SILs are used to specify necessary safety requirements for achieving an acceptable residual risk. This article presents a case study on the assessment of SILs applying failure modes, effects and diagnostic analysis (FMEDA) from which failure rates may be derived for each important failure category by combining a standard FMEA with online diagnostic techniques.

A counterplan of slope failure has to investigate about various and engineering safety factors. Especially, it is important that large cut-slope must examine rational and economic solution. In this case study, cut-slope failure caused by inflow of rainwater into alternate layers. Hereafter it is suggested that large cut-slope should consider analysis the cause for a decline of safety factor and the engineering character of corestone ground mass.

In this experiment, we studied about concentration characteristics of $NO_x$ and generation of ozone in the reactor of corona discharge type by using mixed gas of $NO/N_2$ and $N_2/O_2$. In the case of the initial NO concentration increased, decrease rate of NO concentration was weakened and discharge input power of minimum NO concentration became high. When NO concentration was high, NO decomposition limit was appeared. And NO reduction rate was decreased, when initial NO concentration and discharge input power increased. When discharge input power was 5W, we could know the most proper energy value for treatment of NO. When the concentration of initial NO increased, generation of ozone decreased and in the case of same concentration of NO, according to discharge input power increase, generation of ozone increased.

This study is safety assessment standard for advanced surface movement guidance control system (A-SMGCS) and case study of the past research project. A-SMGCS providing routing, guidance and surveillance for the control of aircraft and vehicles in order to maintain the declared surface movement rate under all weather conditions within the aerodrome visibility operational level while maintaining the required level of safety. Recently, in korea and europe are developing A-SMGCS system for the safety control of the airport movement area. In safety oriented industry such as aviation that it is necessary to verify and ensure for operating system. In this case study, analysis of safety assessment standard for verified A-SMGCS target level of safety (TLS) and previous developed A-SMGCS research project.
