The capability of TRAC-M code to predict downcomer boiling effect during reflood phase in postulated PWR LOCA is evaluated using the results of downcomer effective water head and Cylindrical Core Test Facility (CCTF) experiments, which were performed at JAERI. With a full height downcomer simulator, effective water head experiment was carried out to investigate the applicability of the TRAC-M best estimate LOCA code to evaluate the effective water head with superheated wall temperature in downcomer. In order to clarify the effect of the initial superheat of the downcomer wall on the system and the core cooling behaviors during the reflood phase, two sets of analysis were also performed with a CCTF. Results show that TRAC­M code tends to under-predict downcomer effective water head and core differential pressure. However, the code results show a good agreement with the experimental results in downcomer temperature, heat flux and pressure. Finally, both experiment and calculation showed that the downcomer water head with the superheated downcomer wall is lower than that of the saturated wall temperature.

The recent radiation therapy field can provide treatment which guarantees a high degree of accuracy, due to patient set-up using various image guided radiation therapy(IGRT) instruments. But the additional absorbed dose to patient's normal tissues is increasing. Therefore, this study measured the absorbed dose to surrounding normal tissues which is caused by patient set-up using OBI, CBCT, ExacTrac, among various IGRT instruments. The absorbed dose to the head, the chest, the abdomen, and the pelvis from CBCT was 12.57 mGy, 20.82 mGy, 82.93 mGy, and 52.70 mGy, respectively. Also, the absorbed dose from OBI and ExacTrac ranged from 0.76 to 8.58 mGy and from 0.14 to 0.63 mGy, respectively. As a result, CBCT's absorbed dose was far higher than other instruments. CBCT's surface dose was far higher than others, too, but OBI's entrance skin dose was almost the same as CBCT's.

FLECHT-SEASET 실험을 이용하여 냉각재상실사고시 Reflood에 대한 TRAC-PF1 전산코드의 예측 능력을 평가하였다. FLECHT-SEASET 실험 장치는 3.657m(12 ft) 높이 161개 전열 봉으로 이루어 져 있으며, 다양한 재관수율, 계통압력, 초기 피복재온도, 재관수온도 노심내 반경방향 출력분포 둥의 조건에 따라 수행된 실험이다. TRAC-PF1은 비균질 비평형 이상유동 열수력(Nonhomogeneous Non-equilibrium Two-Fluid Hydrodynamic)모델을 사용하고 원자로 압력용기는 3차원으로 모델할 수 있는 최적전산코드로서, 이 평가 계산에는 HP Version이 사용되었다. 본 연구에서는 재관수율 변화에 따라 달라지는 연료봉 최대 피복재온도와 Quench 시간에 대한 TRAC-PF1 전산코드의 예측 능력을 중점적으로 평가하였다. 계산 결과 TRAC-PF1은 최대 피복재온도는 약 20-100$^{\circ}$K 낮게, Quench 시간은 실험치와 비교하여 약 40-150초 정도 늦게 예측하는 것으로 나타났는데, 재관수율이 낮을수록 최대피복재 온도는 낮게, Quench 시간은 늦게 예측하는 경향을 보이고 있다. 또한 재관수율이 3 in/sec 이상에서 노심 상부가 일찍 Quenching 되는 것으로 계산되는데, 이는 노심상부 열전달 Regime의 부적절한 계산이 원인으로 보인다.

Purpose: In modern radiotherapy technology, several methods of image guided radiation therapy (IGRT) are used to deliver accurate doses to tumor target locations and normal organs, including CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) and other devices, ExacTrac System, other than CBCT equipped with linear accelerators. In previous studies comparing the two systems, positional errors were analysed rearwards using Offline-view or evaluated only with a Yaw rotation with the X, Y, and Z axes. In this study, when using CBCT and ExacTrac to perform 6 Degree of the Freedom(DoF) Online IGRT in a treatment center with two equipment, the difference between the set-up calibration values seen in each system, the time taken for patient set-up, and the radiation usefulness of the imaging device is evaluated. Materials and Methods: In order to evaluate the difference between mobile calibrations and exposure radiation dose, the glass dosimetry and Rando Phantom were used for 11 cancer patients with head circumference from March to October 2017 in order to assess the difference between mobile calibrations and the time taken from Set-up to shortly before IGRT. CBCT and ExacTrac System were used for IGRT of all patients. An average of 10 CBCT and ExacTrac images were obtained per patient during the total treatment period, and the difference in 6D Online Automation values between the two systems was calculated within the ROI setting. In this case, the area of interest designation in the image obtained from CBCT was fixed to the same anatomical structure as the image obtained through ExacTrac. The difference in positional values for the six axes (SI, AP, LR; Rotation group: Pitch, Roll, Rtn) between the two systems, the total time taken from patient set-up to just before IGRT, and exposure dose were measured and compared respectively with the RandoPhantom. Results: the set-up error in the phantom and patient was less than 1mm in the translation group and less than 1.5° in the rotation group, and the RMS values of all axes except the Rtn value were less than 1mm and 1°. The time taken to correct the set-up error in each system was an average of 256±47.6sec for IGRT using CBCT and 84±3.5sec for ExacTrac, respectively. Radiation exposure dose by IGRT per treatment was measured at 37 times higher than ExacTrac in CBCT and ExacTrac at 2.468mGy and 0.066mGy at Oral Mucosa among the 7 measurement locations in the head and neck area. Conclusion: Through 6D online automatic positioning between the CBCT and ExacTrac systems, the set-up error was found to be less than 1mm, 1.02°, including the patient's movement (random error), as well as the systematic error of the two systems. This error range is considered to be reasonable when considering that the PTV Margin is 3mm during the head and neck IMRT treatment in the present study. However, considering the changes in target and risk organs due to changes in patient weight during the treatment period, it is considered to be appropriately used in combination with CBCT.

The APR1400 is an Advanced Pressurized Water Reactor with 3983 MWt power, 2×4 loops, and direct vessel injection system. The Fluidic Device (FD) is adopted to regulate the safety injection flow rate in a Safety Injection Tank (SIT) of APR1400. The performance of a newly designed fluidic Device is evaluated by analyzing a Large Break Loss-of-Coolant Accident (LBLOCA) using TRAC-M/F90, version 3.782. The analysis results show that the TRAC-M code reasonably predicts the important phenomena of blowdown, refill and reflood phases of LBLOCA. The sensitivity studies about gas/water volume changes in a SIT and K factor changes in a SI system were also done to understand the important phenomena with a Fluidic Device in APR1400.

웹 기반 프로그램이 발전함에 따라 웹 관련 프로젝트의 규모가 커지게 되고, 참여 인원이 늘어나게 된다. 대규모 프로젝트를 관리하는 것은 매우 복잡하고 어려운 작업이다. 소프트웨어 개발 프로젝트 관리 시스템은 이러한 프로젝트를 관리하는데 있어 유용한 도구로 사용되고 있다. MS Project, OpenProj, Trac 등 많은 프로젝트 관리 시스템이 있지만, 그 중 Trac은 대표적인 웹 기반 소프트웨어 개발 프로젝트 관리 시스템으로서 제로보드, 테터툴즈 등 국내 주요 오픈 소스 소프트웨어 프로젝트에서 사용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 오픈 소스 프로젝트 관리 시스템에서 많이 활용되고 있는 Trac에 대한 특징을 연구하고 Trac이 가지는 장·단점을 살펴보고 설치 방법을 개선시킬 수 있는 방안을 제안한다.
