This paper presents the recent improvements in the DeCART code for HTGR analysis. A new 190-group DeCART cross-section library based on ENDF/B-VII.0 was generated using the KAERI library processing system for HTGR. Two methods for the eigen-mode adjoint flux calculation were implemented. An azimuthal angle discretization method based on the Gaussian quadrature was implemented to reduce the error from the azimuthal angle discretization. A two-level parallelization using MPI and OpenMP was adopted for massive parallel computations. A quadratic depletion solver was implemented to reduce the error involved in the Gd depletion. A module to generate equivalent group constants was implemented for the nodal codes. The capabilities of the DeCART code were improved for geometry handling including an approximate treatment of a cylindrical outer boundary, an explicit border model, the R-G-B checker-board model, and a super-cell model for a hexagonal geometry. The newly improved and implemented functionalities were verified against various numerical benchmarks such as OECD/MHTGR-350 benchmark phase III problems, two-dimensional high temperature gas cooled reactor benchmark problems derived from the MHTGR-350 reference design, and numerical benchmark problems based on the compact nuclear power source experiment by comparing the DeCART solutions with the Monte-Carlo reference solutions obtained using the McCARD code.

The two projects about the high speed train have been performed in Korea, one project is the commercial run of high speed train(KTX) from Seoul to Busan and the other is the development of original high speed train(HSR 350x). As the successful results, the service run of KTX had been launched on the 1st of April, 2004 and HSR 350x had been fabricated in June, 2002 and has been tested in the Kyoungbu line and Honam line since then. The railway has the track irregularities which cause vibrations, such as rail joints, turnout, level crossing, transition curves and super-elevation ramps, and variations in the track level(z-axis) and the gauge(y-axis). Generally, the ride comfort for railway is evaluated by using the vibrations. In this paper, the ride comfort indices according to mc 513R and ISO 10056 have been reviewed when the high-speed trains are operated on both Kyoungbu line and Honam line. Also, the ride characteristics for KTX and HSR 350x on the high speed line and the conventional line have been analyzed and evaluated. The results show that the high-speed train has no problem from the viewpoint of the comfort ride on the high speed line and the conventional line and the ride index for HSR 350x is same as that for KTX in the high speed(300 km/h).

본 연구는 RC 박스거더교 상부구조의 체계신뢰성 해석과 체계신뢰성에 기초한 내하력 평가를 위하여 실용적이고 실제적인 신뢰성 모델 및 방법을 제안하였다. 시스템으로서 교량의 보유내하력을 정확히 예측한다는 것은, 특히 교량이 높은 여용성을 갖고 있고 열화손상이 심각한 경우에는 더욱 어려운 문제이다. 본 연구는 교량의 체계신뢰성에 상응하는 교량시스템강도로서 정의도리 수 잇는 등가의 시스템가동의 항으로 교량의 보유내하력을 평가하는 새로운 접근방법을 제안하였다. 즉, 이 방법은 체계신뢰성지수의 FOSM(Fdirst Order Second Moment)형태에서 유도된 등가시스템저항강도로서 보다 실제적이고 합리적인 극산시스템저항강도 평가방법이다. 본 연구에서 제안된 RC박스거더교를 위한 강도한계상태모형은 휨 및 전단강도에 기초하였다. 그리고 박스거더 상부구조의 체계신뢰성 문제는 주요 파괴 메카니즘이나 각거더의 한계파괴상태에 기초한 FMA(Failure Mode Approach) 로부터 획득한 직-병렬 혼합모델로서 정식화하였다. 제안된 모형의 신뢰성해석에는 AFOSM(Advanced First Order Second Moment) 과 IST(Importance Sampling Technique) 시뮬레이션 알고리즘을 사용하였다.
