Background: The concrete walls inside the vaults of cyclotron facilities are activated by neutrons emitted by the targets during radioisotope production. Reducing the amount of radioactive waste created in such facilities is very important in case they are decommissioned. Thus, we proposed a strategy of reducing the neutron activation of the concrete walls in cyclotrons during operation. Materials and Methods: A polyethylene plate and B-doped Al sheet (30 wt% of B and 2.5 mm in thickness) were placed in front of the wall in the cyclotron room of a radioisotope production facility for pharmaceutical use. The target was Xe gas, and a Cu block was utilized for proton dumping. The irradiation time, proton energy, and beam current were 8 hours, 30 MeV, and $125{\mu}A$, respectively. To determine a suitable thickness for the polyethylene plate set in front of the B-doped Al sheet, the neutron-reducing effects achieved by inserting such sheets at several depths within polyethylene plate stacks were evaluated. The neutron fluence was monitored using an activation detector and 20-g on de Au foil samples with and without 0.5-mm-thick Cd foil. Each Au foil sample was pasted onto the center of a polyethylene plate and B-doped Al sheet, and the absolute activity of one Au foil sample was measured as a standard using a Ge detector. The resulting relative activities were obtained by calculating the ratio of the photostimulated luminescence of each foil sample to that of the standard Au foil. Results and Discussion: When the combination of a 4-cm-thick polyethylene plate and B-doped Al sheet was employed, the thermal neutron rate was reduced by 78%. Conclusion: The combination of a 4-cm-thick polyethylene plate and B-doped Al sheet effectively reduced the neutron activation of the investigated concrete wall.

The first part is about development of a liquid target for a neutron source, which is designed to overcome many of the limitations of traditional beam-target neutron generators by utilizing a liquid target neutron source. One of the most critical aspects of the beam-target neutron generator is the target integrity under the beam exposure. A liquid target can be a good solution to overcome damage to the target such as target erosion and depletion of hydrogen isotopes in the active layer, especially for the one operating at high neutron fluxes with no need for water cooling. There is no inherent target lifetime for the liquid target neutron generator when used with continuous refreshment of the target surface exposed to the energetic beam. In this work, liquid target containing hydrogen has been developed and tested in vacuum environment. Potentially, liquid targets could allow a point neutron source whose spatial extension is on the order of 1 to $10{\mu}m$. And the second is about the vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) spectrometer which is designed as a five-channel spectral system for ITER main plasma measurement. To develop and verify the design, a two-channel prototype system was fabricated with No. 3 (14.4 nm~31.8 nm) and No. 4 (29.0 nm~60.0 nm) among the five channels. For test of the prototype system, a hollow cathode lamp is used as a light source. The system is composed of a collimating mirror to collect the light from source to slit, and two holographic diffraction gratings with toroidal geometry to diffract and also to collimate the light from the common slit to detectors. The two gratings are positioned at different optical distances and heights as designed. To study the appropriate detector for ITER VUV system, two different electronic detectors of the back-illuminated charge coupled device and the micro-channel plate electron multiplier were installed and the performance has been investigated and compared in the same experimental conditions. The overall system performance was verified by measuring the spectrums.

본 논문에서는 항공기 충돌에 의한 원전 격납건물의 거동을 병렬해석을 통해 수행하였다. 지금까지의 원전 격납건물에 대한 항공기 충돌관련 연구는 항공기의 경우, Riera의 충격하중-시간함수를 이상화하여 대상 구조체의 일정영역에 대해 충격하중으로 적용하는 방법을 사용해 왔고 충돌대상 구조체의 경우, 단순 철근콘크리트 벽체나 빌딩에 머물러 왔다. 하지만 본 논문에서는 항공기(Boeing-767, http://www.boeing.com)와 가상의 원전 격납건물을 실제와 유사하게 모델링하여 해석을 수행하였으며, 항공기모델은 충돌평가 가이드인 NEI 07-13(2009)에서 허용하는 Riera의 식에 따른 충돌하중이력곡선과 비교하는 방법으로 검증되었다. 또한, 일반적으로 고속 충돌해석은 짧은 시간동안 두 개 이상의 물체가 접촉하고 동적 대변형을 일으키는 비선형성이 강한 문제로 많은 계산시간이 요구되기 때문에 이를 효과적으로 다루기 위해서는 단일 CPU만으로는 한계가 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 해석의 효율성을 향상시키기 위해 자체 구축한 리눅스 클러스터 시스템을 이용하여 Message-Passing MIMD 형태의 병렬해석을 수행하였고 병렬성능에 대한 평가를 위해 무근콘크리트(Plain Concrete, PC), 철근콘크리트(Reinforced Concrete, RC), 내부 Liner Plate를 부착한 철근콘크리트(RC with Containment Liner Plate, CLP), SC구조(Steel-Plate Concrete, SC)등 4가지 경우에 대한 수치해석 효율성이 비교 검토되었다.

인공위성 중 군사적 성격을 띠는 저궤도 소형 인공위성의 경우 다표적 관측을 필요로 하고 고해상도의 사진 및 영상의 수요가 증가하는 추세이다. 고해상도 영상과 다표적 관측을 위해 인공위성의 기동성이 가장 큰 변수로 작용한다. 소형 인공위성의 경우 고기동성을 갖게 되면 빠르게 자세기동을 할 수 있지만 자세 기동을 완료 후 다음 자세 기동을 할 때 잔류진동이 발생하게 된다. 이에 본 연구에서 자세 기동 후 발생하는 평판의 진동 특성을 검증하기 위하여 자세기동을 모사하기 위한 실험 치구를 제작하고 실험을 수행하였다. 추가로 이러한 진동을 저감시키기 위해 영구자석을 이용한 수동형 감쇠방법으로 와전류 브레이크 시스템을 응용한 와전류 감쇠기를 제시하였다. 와전류 감쇠기를 적용하기 위하여 수학적 모델을 정립하였으며 영구자석의 자속밀도와 공극거리에 따라 이를 실험적으로 구현하였으며, 4개의 태양전지판(평판) 중 1개 평판을 특정하여 와전류감쇠기를 적용유무에 따라 자세 기동 후 발생하는 잔류진동에 대한 저감 성능을 실험적으로 검증하였다.

In this study, the effect of channel flow in the concave surface on local heat transfer characteristics of array jets was investigated experimentally. A TLC method is employed to determine local heat transfer coefficients on the target plate and also flow visualization has been conducted to investigate the behavior of a row of impinging jets and array of impinging jets. Two different array patterns of impinging array jets devices are tested for Reynolds number(Re=10,000). In a row of impinging jets, secondary vortex is strongly maintained by main vortex at nozzle-to-plate distance of H/d=2. Therefore, the Nusselt number slowly decreased at the mid-way region between adjacent jets. In array jets, the local maximum Nusselt number region move further in the downstream direction due to the increase of channel flow velocity.

Laser-based ultrasonic sensing requires the probe with fixed fecal length, but this requirement is not essential in laser-based ultrasonic generation. Based on this fact, we designed a pulsed laser-based ultrasonic wave propagation imaging (UWPI) system with a tilting mirror system for rapid scanning of target, and an in-line band-pass filtering capable of ultrasoaic mode selection. 1D-temporal averaging, 2D-spatial averaging, and 3D-data structure building algorithms were developed far clearer results allowing fur higher damage detectability. The imaging results on a flat stainless steel plate were presented in movie and snapshot formats which showed the propagation of ultrasound visible as a concentric wavefield emerging from the location of an ultrasonic sensor. A hole in the plate with a diameter of 1 mm was indicated by the scattering wavefields. The results showed that this robust UWPI system is independent of focal length and reference data requirements.

The ultrasonic guided wave phased array using magnetostrictive patch transducers is proposed. The magnetostrictive transducer has received much attention because it is cost-effective and capable to generate ultrasonic waves with a simple configuration. However, it has not been used for ultrasonic guided wave phased array applications until now. In this paper, we propose a magnetostrictive transducer based phased array system consisting of a multi-channel function generator, power amplifiers and Lamb wave magnetostrictive transducers. To check the performance of the ultrasonic guided wave phased array, several Lamb wave focusing experiments were carried out in an aluminum plate. The results demonstrated the capability of the developed array to focus the Lamb waves at specific target points.

The reduction of $CO_2$ emissions has been a key target in the Marine Industry since the IMO's Marine Environment Protection Committee published its findings in 2009. The representative emission index is termed as the EEDI (Energy Efficiency Design Index) for the new ships. Among various flow control techniques ever proposed, the air lubrication method is the one of most promising one in terms of practical applicability. The present study examines the basic characteristics of the flat plate test with intention of applying the air lubrication technology to the reduction of the resistance of a ship. Image analysis technique is proposed as a tool to quantify the effectiveness of the air lubrication method.

The objectives of this study were to investigate atmospheric dry deposition of inorganic nitrogen-containing compounds to waterbody. Target waterbody is Juam reservoir functioning as one of the major water supply sources in Chollanamdo. Nitrate and ammonium dry deposition fluxes were directly measured using dry deposition plate (DDP) covered with greased strips and a water surface sampler (WSS). The daytime average $NO_{3}^{-}\;and\;NH_{4}^{+}$ fluxes measured with DDP and WSS were $1.7\∼2.6$ times higher than those at nighttime. The seasonal average flux of $NH_{4}^{+}$ showed the highest value in summer. The daytime and nighttime average dry deposition fluxes of particulate phase Nitogen-containing Compounds ($1.13,\;0.80\;mg/m^{2}$ day) were much higher than those of gas phase compounds ($0.50,\;0.24\;mg/m^{2}$ day).

Hole flanging experiments are performed on flat circular plates with a hole in the center and the flangeability and fracture behaviors of TRIP steels and ferrite-Bainite duplex steels were examined. In the hole flanging, deformation by lip and petalling occurs when plates are struck by punches of various shapes and high circumferential strains induced in the target material cause radial cracking and the subsequent rotation of the affected plate material in a number of symmetric petals. In all cases, failure of the plate was due to lip fracture that results from multiple localized neckings that take place around the hole periphery where straining is most severe and a somewhat regular pattern was observed in a fracture shape. The neck characteristics in flange formation and the transition from the lip to petal mode at which fracture occurs were compared with two materials.
