  • 지층처분연구를 통한 지구과학분야의 기술적 발전은 천연방벽의 특성을 이해하기 위한 계측방법 및 단계적 부지조사ㆍ평가과정을 확립하였으나, 아직도 지하매질의 불균질성과 규모 종속적인 특성 때문에 후보부지특성에 대한 이해는 부족한 상태이다. 부지특성 평가결과의 불확실성으로 인한 시간적ㆍ경제적 부담을 줄이기 위해서는 무엇보다도 후보부지를 중심으로 계획된 정확하고 치밀한 부지특성평가계획의 수립과 전반적인 수행과정 및 결과에 대한 품질보증 시스템의 적용이 요구된다. 또한 원전수거물 처분시설에서 요구되는 충분조건과 필요조건으로 구분하여 단계별로 평가하여야 한다.

  • Recent developments in MS-based glycomics and glycoproteomics have rapidly advanced the field and pushed the boundaries of glyco-analysis into new territories. This review will lay out current workflows and strategies for characterization of the glycoproteome, including (in order of increasing complexity and information content) preliminary site mapping, compositional glycan profiling, isomer-specific glycan profiling, glycosite-specific glycopeptide profiling, and finally, glycoproteomic profiling.

  • The paper is describing work being developed in the frame of a 5-year IAEA Coordinated Research Programme (CRP) started in late 2005. Participants gained knowledge of modelling methodologies and experience in the development and use of rather sophisticated simulation tools in support of site characterization and performance assessment calculations. These goals were achieved by a coordinated effort, in which the advantages and limitations of numerical models are examined and demonstrated through a comparative analysis of simplified, illustrative test cases. This knowledge and experience should help them address these issues in their own country's nuclear waste program. Coordination efforts during the first three years of the project aimed at enabling this transfer of expertise and maximizing the learning experience of the participants as a group. This was accomplished by identifying common interests of the participants (i.e., Process Modelling and Total System Performance Assessment methodology), and by defining complementary tasks that are solved by the members. Synthesis of all available results by comparative assessments is planned in the coming months. The project will be completed end of 2010. This paper is summarizing activities up to November 2009.

  • This study explores development of prediction model for seismic site classification through the integration of machine learning techniques with horizontal-to-vertical spectral ratio (HVSR) methodologies. To improve model accuracy, the research employs outlier detection methods and, synthetic minority over-sampling technique (SMOTE) for data balance, and evaluates using seven machine learning models using seismic data from KiK-net. Notably, light gradient boosting method (LGBM), gradient boosting, and decision tree models exhibit improved performance when coupled with SMOTE, while Multiple linear regression (MLR) and Support vector machine (SVM) models show reduced efficacy. Outlier detection techniques significantly enhance accuracy, particularly for LGBM, gradient boosting, and voting boosting. The ensemble of LGBM with the isolation forest and SMOTE achieves the highest accuracy of 0.91, with LGBM and local outlier factor yielding the highest F1-score of 0.79. Consistently outperforming other models, LGBM proves most efficient for seismic site classification when supported by appropriate preprocessing procedures. These findings show the significance of outlier detection and data balancing for precise seismic soil classification prediction, offering insights and highlighting the potential of machine learning in optimizing site classification accuracy.

  • Korea's first commercial nuclear power plant at Kori site was permanently shut down in 2017 and is currently in transition stage. Preparatory activities for decommissioning such as historical site assessment, characterization, and dismantling design are being actively carried out for successful D&D (Dismantling and Decontamination) at Kori site. The ultimate goal of decommissioning will be to ensure the safety of workers and residents that may arise during the decommissioning of nuclear facilities and, thereby finally returning the site to its original status in accordance with the release criteria. Upon completion of decommissioning, the resident's safety at a site released will be assessed from the evaluation of dose caused by radionuclides expected to be present or detected at the site. Although the U.S. commercial nuclear power plants with decommissioning experience use different site release criteria, most of them are 0.25 mSv/y. In Korea, both the unrestricted and restricted release criteria have been set to 0.1 mSv/y by the Nuclear Safety and Security Commission. However, since the dose is difficult to measure, measurable concentration guideline levels for residual radionuclides that result in dose equivalent to the site release criteria should be derived. For this derivation, site reuse scenario, selection of potential radionuclides, and systematic methodology should be developed in planning stage of Kori site decommissioning. In this paper, for calculation of a preliminary site-specific Derived Concentration Guideline Levels (DCGLs) for the Nuclear Power Plant site, a novel approach has been developed which can fully reflect practical reuse plans of the Kori site by taking into account multiple site reuse scenarios sequentially, thereby striking a remarkable distinction with conventional approaches which considers only a single site scenario.

  • Preliminary surface soil Derived Concentration Guideline Levels (DCGLs) were derived conforming to the Multi-Agency Radiation Site Survey and Investigation Manual (MARSSIM) procedure for the site release and reuse of Kori Unit 1 in Korea. Based on the decommissioning experiences of the U.S. nuclear power plants, a suite of residual radionuclides was determined, and uncertainties contributed to the resultant dose by the input parameters were quantified via the sensitivity analysis of parameters. The peak of the mean dose was obtained via the probabilistic analysis of the RESRAD (RESidual RADioactivity)-ONSITE code. Consequently, $DCGL_w$ of Kori Unit 1 in accordance with two scenarios, industrial worker and residential farmer scenario, were derived and the results were compared respectively with other NPPs. It could be used as a basic guideline for establishing regulatory standards for reuse planning, designing the site characterization surveys and implementing final status survey (FSS).

  • An nprX gene of Bacillus subtilis NS15-4 encoding a neutral protease was cloned and its molecular characteristics were analyzed. The complete nucleotide sequence indicated that there is an open reading frame (0RF) possibly encoding 521 amino acid polypeptide. The ORF used all codons expected two cysteine and a proline having a codon bias index (CBI) of 0.09 in Escherichia coli. There were homologous sequences to the consensus sequence of -35 and -10 regions of E. coli promoters and to a Shine-Dalgarno (SD) sequence located 25 bp downstream of a mojor transcription initiation site. Moreover, there were also five minor transcription initiation sites at 6. 7. 8. 14 and 15 nt downstream of the major site. Northern blot analysis revealed the presence of about 1.8 kb mRNA transcript in E. coli having the nprX gene. The nucleotide sequence was identified in GenBank to be a gene for a neutral protease of B. sutilis with six nucleotide difference in the ORF region. The flanking regions of the NprX ORF showed much more differences form those of other neutral protease genes except the nprE gene of B. subtilis, which has the most homology to the nprX gene, and of which the flanking regions were identical to those of the nprX gene.

  • 현재 국내의 수리시험 장비는 적절한 장비가 갖추어지지 않은 상태로 시행되고 있기 때문에 투수성 해석 자료의 신뢰성은 그리 높다고 볼 수 없다. 본 연구는 고도의 정밀성을 요구하는 고준위폐기물의 처분기술 개발을 위해서는 무엇보다도 자연방벽에 대한 특성 평가가 중요하므로 현행 시험 장비의 기술적 문제들을 해결하기 위한 목적으로 장심도 (1,000 m) 시추공에서 정밀한 수리시험이 가능한 장비를 성공적으로 구축하였다. 본 장비에서 가장 중요하게 반영된 기술사항은 공내 저류효과를 최소화시키기 위하여 H-DHSIV를 장착하고, 시험 자료의 품질을 향상시키기 위하여 실시간으로 시험 구간을 포함한 3개 구간의 압력 변화자료를 취득할 수 있는 DAS를 구축한 것이다. 본 연구의 결과로 구축된 심부 시추공에서의 정밀 수리 시험 장비는 국내 현장조사 기술력의 획기적인 향상을 선도할 것이며, 방사성폐기물 처분기술 개발을 위한 연구와 부지 특성평가에 직접 적용될 것이다.

  • 쓰레기 매립지에 대한 오염의 전파 경로 및 수직${\cdot}$수평적인 오염의 분포에 대한 조사 및 환경 분야에 대한 적용성을 확인하기 위해 전기비저항 탐사를 수행하였다 일반적으로 오염의 특성으로 인하여 매립지는 저비저항대로 나타나는데 기반암인 고비저항대와 대비하여 오염의 분포 및 전파 경로에 대하여 전기비저항 탐사는 훌륭한 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 본 연구 결과를 이용하여 장차 오염 토양 복원 기술을 적용하는 기초 자료로 사용할 수 있고 오염이 예상되는 지반에 또는 국내에 있는 1000개 이상의 불량 매립지에 대한 사전 조사 방법으로 유용하게 이용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
