In this paper we discuss spent fuel management options in the Republic of Korea (ROK) from two interrelated perspectives: Centralized dry cask storage and spent fuel pyroprocessing and burning in sodium fast reactors (SFRs). We argue that the ROK will run out of space for at-reactors spent fuel storage by about the year 2030 and will thus need to transition centralized dry cask storage. Pyroprocessing plant capacity, even if approved and successfully licensed and constructed by that time, will not suffice to handle all the spent fuel discharged annually. Hence centralized dry cask storage will be required even if the pyroprocessing option is successfully developed by 2030. Pyroprocessing is but an enabling technology on the path leading to fissile material recycling and burning in future SFRs. In this regard we discuss two SFR options under development in the U.S.: the Super Prism and the Travelling Wave Reactor (TWR). We note that the U.S. is further along in reactor development than the ROK. The ROK though has acquired more experience, recently in investigating fuel recycling options for SFRs. We thus call for two complementary joint R&D project to be conducted by U.S. and ROK scientists. One leading to the development of a demonstration centralized away-fromreactors spent fuel storage facility. The other involve further R&D on a combined SFR-fuel cycle complex based on the reactor and fuel cycle options discussed in the paper.

Zinc Phosphate Cement hand been used for about more than 100 years in luting of cast gold inlay. But many scientists had been trying to develop the new form of luting agent because the ZPC hand shown the lack of adhesiveness on the tooth structure and the toxicity to the pulp tissue. Recently many researches about the surface treatment of the cast body are being done to increase the adhesion of cement to it. The conventional Class I gold inlays were fabricated in the 20 permanent molars. After the internal surface of the cast body was sandblasted with $Al_2O_3$ particles and was tin-plated, the inlays were cemented with adhesive cement [G I cement and resin cement(Super-Bond & $Panavia_{EX}$)] and the evaluation on the adhesion pattern, adhesive strength and the fracture pattern of the adhesive cast gold inlay was compared to that of the cast gold inlay cemented conventionally with ZPC. The results were as follows : 1. The surface roughness of the cast body was increased significantly after sandblasting with the $Al_2O_3$ particles and the tin oxide layer, which was consisted of round particles, came into being. 2. The bond strength was in the order of Super-Bond, ZPC, Fuji I, $Panavia_{EX}$ group. The group cemented with Super-Bond showed statistically greater strength than the other groups(p<0.05). 3. The group cemented with ZPC was fallen apart by principal adhesion failure and that with Fuji I was by complete adhesion failure. But the group with Super-Bond showed pricncipal cohesive failure pattern and in the group with $Panavia_{EX}$, complete cohesive fracture pattern was shown and small protion of tooth structure was fractured out with cast body and the fractured surface showed the figure just as the enamel prism. 4. Various gaps were shown at the pulpal side regardless of little gap at the side walls of the cavity in all groups. Only the Super-Bond was attached to the tooth structure and the other cements were detached from both the tooth and the cast body.

Technologies of super-precision micro pattern mold machining and high-performance optical films manufacturing using thereof forms the basis of recent display industries which have developed remarkably. Especially, it is the light guide plates and high luminous intensity prism sheets at BLU or FLU in LCD and lenses at virtual keyboard's display to be manufactured by micro machining technology. One way the industry requires to do that is by developing high-performance light guide plates or films which are existing light guide plates, diffusion films and luminance enhancement prism films all in one. In this research effort, basic processing of the micro pyramid structure by shaping method is proposed. Experiments of mold machining of pitch $20{\mu}m$ tetrahedral pyramid and pitch $100{\mu}m$ trihedral pyramid using a $90^{\circ}$ diamond tool were conducted to identify a variety of machining features, such as cutting forces, conditions of the surface, shapes of chips, and influence of materials.

본 연구는 단열지질조사를 통한 대상지역의 지하수 단열 모델을 규명하여 지하수를 개발한 사례이다. 경기도 문산 동쪽에 위치하고 있는 산업시설물에서는 시설물 유지에 필요한 용수 수급용 지하수개발이 요구되었다. 지하수 개발 대상 지역은 $0.15Km^2$ 면적으로 제한되어 있었을 뿐만 아니라, 지하 매설물, 건물 등의 시설물을 피하여 선정, 개발해야 되는 매우 어려운 지리적 조건을 가지고 있었다. 지하수 개발 대상지역은 지하 매설물이 설치되어 있어 지구물리탐사가 불가한 곳으로 지질조사에만 의존하여 지하수개발을 수행하였다. 편마암의 엽리와 암상조사로 엽리 궤적도를 작성하며 조사대상지역에 발달하고 있는 남북방향 습곡축의 향사형 습곡이 인지되었다. 동서방향의 지질단면 분석에서는 아이스크림 스푼 모양의 F2 향사형 중첩습곡이 해석된다. 광역조사에서 인지된 $N20^{\circ}E,\;N30^{\circ}W$, NS 주향의 단층연장 상에 위치하는 평평한 조사대상지역에 수반성 인장단열들의 존재 가능성을 예측하였다. 우수향 운동감각을 갖고 있는 $N20^{\circ}E$ 단층 은 F2 향사형 습곡에 발달하고 있는 두 조의 요곡성 공액형인 P-전단단층으로 해석된다. NE 주향 지질단면상에서, $N20^{\circ}E$ 단층과 엽리 간의 교각으로 약 100m 심도에서 지하수저장이 가능한 삼각 프리즘형태의 공간형성이 가능함을 알 수 있어, 중첩습곡의 서쪽 날개 쪽이 지하수개발 가능지역으로 예측하였다 또한 $N40^{\circ}E$ 단층도 지하수공급원이 될 수 있다. 단열지질조사와 단면해석을 기초로 하여 $N20^{\circ}E$와 $N40^{\circ}E$ 단층을 따라서 지하수 개발가능 위치를 선정하였으며, $N20^{\circ}E$ 단층선 상에 위치한 한 지점을 선정한 결과 이곳에서 145 ton/day의 지하수를 개발하였다. 결론적으로 개발에 성공한 지하수는 중첩습곡에 수반된 요곡단층과 엽리 교차로 형성된 지하수 저장고의 불투수 공간으로부터 공급된 것으로 해석되었다.
