핵연료봉 내압 설계기준에 의하면 핵연료봉 갭의 증가만 발생하지 않는다면 봉내압이 계통압력을 초과할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 봉내압 설계기준에 따른 정량적이고 보수적인 허용 봉내압을 봉출력의 함수로 생산하였는 바 허용 봉내압은 봉출력의 증가에 따라 감소하였다. 한편, 본 연구에서 구한 허용 봉내압을 봉내압 설계 기준으로 적용하면 핵연료봉 압력 검증을 위한 현행 설계절차를 단순화시킨다. 왜냐하면, 봉내압이 계통압력을 초과할 경우 각각의 주어진 시간 및 축 방향 지점에서 핵연료봉 갭 증가를 계산해야 하는 현행 설계절차가 불필요하기 때문이다.

본 논문에서는 깊은 지하 500m에 처분된 가압경수로(PWR) 고준위폐기물 처분용기에 지하수압과 벤토나이트 팽윤압이 가해지는 동안 처분용기에 발생하는 크립변형을 예측하기 위하여 처분용기에 대한 구조해석을 수행하였다. 보통 이러한 크립변형은 처분용기에 추가적인 외력이 작용하지 않더라도 처분용기에 작용하는 압력과 내부의 높은 열에 의하여 발생될 수 있다. 처분용 기내부의 열분포의 복잡성 덴 시간의존성으로 인하여 일단 외부 지하수압 및 팽윤압만 고려하여 크립해석을 수행하였다. 이를 위하여 적당한 크립함수를 사용하였으며, 해석은 1억$(10^8)$초 동안 수행하였다. 해석결과 1억초 동안 발생하는 크립 변형률은 매우 작으며 주희 처분용기의 위아래 덮개에 발생함을 알 수 있었다. 그러나 처분용기의 구조강도에 중요한 내부 주철삽입물에는 훨씬 더 작은 미소한 변형률만 발생하여 처분용기에 발생하는 크립변형은 처분용기의 구조적인 안전성에는 큰 영향을 미치지 않음을 알 수 있었다. 해석 초기에 처분용기 내에 급격히 응력이 증가하여 최고치에 도달한 후 잠깐동안 이 응력 값을 유지하다가 그 이 후에는 급격히 응력 값이 감소하는 응력이완현상을 보이고 있기 때문에 발생 응력 측면에서도 전혀 처분용기의 구조적인 안전성에 문제가 없음이 확인되었다.

Subcutaneous cervicofacial, mediastinal emphysemas are complications associated with head and neck surgery, trauma, infectious processes, tooth extraction. Drill cooling stream and dental syringe air ject are the sources of high pressure air that may enter exposed soft tissue. Since the introduction of the high-speed air turbine drill in the 1960s, The incidence of iatrogenic subcutaneous emphysema has increased. Most cases begin to resolve after 2 to 3 days and residual swelling is usually minimal at the end of 7 to 10 days. Surgical approach is not advised because it is likely to be ineffective. The differential diagnosis of neck swelling after dental procedure includes hematoma, cellulitis, angioedema, allergic reaction, subcutaneous emphysema. We report a rare case of patient with subcutaneous cervicofacial emphysema and mediastinal emphysema secondary to third molar extraction.

In this study, AR (aromatic resin) pitch was employed as the matrix-precursor for carbon/carbon composite because it exhibits much higher coke yield than coal tar pitch. As a result, a fabrication process of carbon/carbon composites can be shortened. It has been known that the pitches may cause swolling problem during the carbonization process. In order to restrain the swelling occurrence, a small quantity of carbon black was added to the AR pitch. Due to addition of carbon black the swelling was decreased largely and the perform can be infiltrated with the AR pitch. The densification efficiency of the performs was compared with various matrix-precursors. The coke yield of matrixprecursors, the morphology and the degree of graphitization of carbon matrix were analyzed.

도로의 기층재료로 사용된 생석회 혼합토는 흙 속의 황산염과 반응하여 ettringite, thaumasite 및 석고와 같은 팽창성 반응생성물을 생성하며, 도로 균열 등의 악영향을 미친다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 생석회와 염화칼슘, 생석회와 황산칼슘을 혼합하여 산성화된 우수와 공장지대의 오염된 폐수 속에 포함된 황산염에 대한 지반 공학적 영향을 조사하였다. 연구결과, 황산염은 생석회 혼합토의 강도 및 팽창특성을 변화시키는 것으로 나타났다. 강도특성은 강도증가가 큰 화학 첨가제를 첨가한 생석회 혼합토에 대하여, 간극수의 pH가 낮을수록 장기적으로 강도감소비가 큰 것으로 나타났으며, pH가 낮은 경우에서는 생석회 혼합토의 반응성이 감소하여 pH 변화가 뚜렷하게 나타나지 않았다. 팽창특성은 간극수의 pH가 낮을수록 팽창성이 증가하였으며, 황산칼슘을 첨가한 생석회 혼합토의 팽창성이 큰 것으로 나타났다. 팽창성의 증가와 장기강도의 감소는 황산염과 반응하여 생성된 침상의 황산염수화물의 생성에 기인한 것임을 X-선 회절분석 및 주사 전자 현미경 관찰을 통하여 확인할 수 있었다.

본 연구는 기존 벤토나이트 방수재가 염수환경의 지하구조물 적용에 있어서 초기 수화에 의한 팽창이 안 됨으로써 염수의 침입을 허용하여 구조물이 누수로 이어지는 문제점을 보완하기 위하여 최근 개발된 사전수화 시킨 형태의 벤토나이트 쉬트에 관하여 염수환경 적용 특성을 중심으로 연구하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 사전수화형 벤토나이트 시트를 대상으로 염수환경을 기본 전제조건으로 한 상태에서 점결성, 팽윤성, 투수성 등의 시험을 통하여 그 성능특성의 변화를 중점 고찰하였다. 본 연구결과 염수환경에서 초기 투수를 허용하지 않았으며, 최대 $3kgf/cm^2$ 수압으로 72시간까지 투수가 발생하지 않았다. 점결성과 팽윤성 확인결과 담수환경에서는 겔화의 충분한 진행이 확인 되었고, 염수환경에서는 판상구조의 갈라짐 현상이 보였으나 이는 벤토나이트가 수화하면서 결정층간이 팽윤된 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 방수재 상부에 누름층과 같은 압밀조건이 형성된다면 염수환경의 지하구 조물 적용에 있어서 기대가된다.

Carboxylated polysulfone (CPS), poly (1,4-phenylene ether ethersulfone) (PPEES), membranes were prepared and used for the separation of NaCl and $CaCl_2$, in efficient way with less energy consumption. In this work, nanofiltration and reverse osmosis membranes were employed to the salt rejection behavior of the different salt solutions. The influence of applied pressure (1-12 bar), on the membrane performance was assessed. In CM series of membranes, $CM_1$ showed maximum of 97% water uptake and 36% water swelling, whereas, $CM_4$ showed 75% water uptake and 28% water swelling. In RCM series, $RCM_1$ showed 85% water uptake and 32% water swelling whereas, in $RCM_4$ it was 68% for water uptake and 20% for water swelling. Conclusively reverse osmosis membranes gave better rejection whereas nanofiltration membrane showed enhanced flux. CM1 showed 58% of rejection with 12 L/($m^2$ h) flux and $RCM_1$ showed 55% of rejection with 15 L/($m^2$ h) flux for 0.1 wt.% NaCl solution. Whereas, in 0.1 wt.% $CaCl_2$ solution, membrane $CM_1$ showed 78% of rejection with 12 L/($m^2$ h) flux and $RCM_1$ showed 63% rejection with flux of 9 L/($m^2$ h).

Chronic wounds, pressure sores, lesions, and infections of microbial origin in bedridden, paralyzed, or malnutrition patients remain the object of study of many researchers. A variety of factors behind the development of these disorders are related to the patient's immune system, making it unable to respond effectively to the treatment of the wound. These factors can be properly controlled, giving particular importance to the ethiology and stage of the wound, as well as the time periods corresponding to the replacement of the dressings. The present research reports a novel foam/soft material, ${{\small}L}$-Cys-g-PCL, with an application for decubitus/pressure ulcers, especially for wounds with a difficult healing process due to infections and constant oxidation of the soft tissues. During this work, the interactions between S. aureus and ${{\small}L}$-Cys-g-PCL foam were studied under conditions that simulate decubitus ulcers; namely, pH and exudate. The effects of duration of grafting (1 or 8 h) and pH (7.0 and 8.9) on wettability, surface energy, swelling, and porosity were also evaluated. Results showed an effective microbicidal activity exhibiting an inhibition ratio of 99.73% against S. aureus. This new ${{\small}L}$-Cys-g-PCL soft material showed saftey to contact skin, ability to be shaped to fill in sunken holes (craters) - pressure ulcers stage III - and to act as a smart material responsive to pH, which can be tailored to develop better swelling properties at alkaline pH where exudates are normally higher, so as to address exudate self-cleaning and prevention of desiccation.

Research reactors are operated under ambient temperature and atmospheric pressure, which is much less severe conditions compared to those in typical nuclear power plants. Due to the high temperature, heat resistant materials such as austenite stainless steel should be used for the reactors in typical nuclear power plants. Whereas, as the effect of temperature is low for research reactors, materials with high resistance to neutron irradiation, such as zircaloy and beryllium, are used. Therefore, these conditions should be considered when performing integrity assessment for research reactors. In this study, a computational technique through finite element (FE) analysis was developed considering the operating conditions and materials of research reactor when conducting integrity assessment. Neutron irradiation analysis techniques using thermal expansion analysis were proposed to consider neutron irradiation growth and swelling in zirconium alloys and beryllium. A user subroutine program that can calculate the strain rate induced by neutron irradiation creep was developed for use in the commercial analysis program Abaqus. To validate the proposed technique and the user subroutine, FE analysis results were compared with hand-calculation results, and showed good agreement. Consequently, developed technique and user subroutine are suitable for evaluating structural integrity of research reactors.
