The Control Rod Assembly (CRA) controls the reactor power by adjusting its position in the reactor core during normal operation and should be quickly inserted into the reactor core by free drop under scram condition to shut down chain reactions. Therefore, the drop time of the CRA is one of important factors for the safety of the nuclear reactor and must be experimentally verified. This study presents the drop performance test of the CRA which has been conceptually designed for the Proto-type Generation IV Sodium-cooled Fast Reactor. During the test, the CRA was free dropped from a height of 1 m under different flow rate conditions and its drop time was measured. The results showed that the drop time of the CRA increased as the flow rate increased; the average drop times of the CRA were approximately 1.527 seconds, 1.599 seconds and 1.676 seconds at 0%, 100% and 200% of design flow rates, respectively.

Three dogs (An 8 years-old intact female Poodle, a 7 years-old intact male Schunauzer, and an 8 yearsold Golden Retriever) were presented due to acute vomiting, dyspnea, and generalized weakness. Megaesophagus was confirmed through radiographic examination in all 3 dogs. Relative oesophageal diameter (ROD) was measured and results of ROD measurements showed the possibility of megaesophagus secondary to myasthenia gravis in three dogs. Thus we performed anticholinesterase test as screening test for myasthenia gravis. In all three dogs, esophageal diameter was reduced after neostigmine methylsulfate administration. For definite diagnosis of acquired myasthenia gravis, serum acetylcholine receptor antibody titer was measured, but definite diagnosis was confirmed only in one case. However, based on history, radiographic findings, anticholinesterase test, ROD measurement, other two cases were still suspected as megaesophagus secondary to myasthenia gravis. Treatment with pyridostigmine bromide was initiated in all dogs, and improvement of esophageal diameter was shown in all dogs. One dog was successfully managed for 15 months after initial treatment and, is still alive, but other two dogs were died shortly after initial treatment, because of severe aspiration pneumonia.

본 연구의 목적은 수직 연료봉 집합체에서 물-공기 2상 유동일 경우 공기분포현상에 관한 실험적 데이타를 얻는데 있다. test-section은 6각형, 61개의 연료봉 집합체로 구성되며, 각 연료봉은 helical spacers로 감겨져 있고, 사용되는 유체는 공기와 물이다. 실험은 크게 2부분으로 나누어서 물의 유량을 일정하게 하고 공기의 유량을 증가시킬 경우와 물자 공기의 유량을 동시에 증가시킬 경우의 공기분포현상에 관해 실시하였다. 공기는 4구멍을 통해 각각 주입시켰다. 보이드율의 측정은 전기적 Void-needle 방법을 적용하였으며 그 결과는 도표를 통해 보여주고 있다. 이 실험의 결과로써 물의 유랑을 증가시킬 수록 공기분포는 균일하게 되며, 공기 공급 위치는 공기분포에 큰 영향을 미치고 있음이 입증되었다.

The control rod worth is a key safety parameter required to be measured in commercial pressurized water reactors (PWRs). Conventionally, the control rod worth is measured after reaching the critical state, which occupies the considerable time in the zero-power physics test. In this study, an efficient control-rod worth measurement technique has been proposed based on the improved neutron-source multiplication method, which can be implemented with the source-range detector count rates in the subcritical states. Moreover, the noise reduction technique has been adopted to smooth the large fluctuation existing in the original signals. In order to verify the engineering performance of the proposed measurement technique, the measured source-range detector count rates during the rod withdrawal process before reaching critical state in a CNP1000 reactor have been employed. It demonstrated that almost all estimated results of control rod worth satisfy the engineering acceptance criteria, except one control rod with the relative difference over 10 %, which indicates the capability of the proposed method in estimating control rod worth.

An irradiation test of a nuclear fuel rod having external and internal tube structure was planned for a performance. To establish fabrication process satisfying the requirements of irradiation test, micro-TIG welding system for fuel rods was developed, and preliminary welding experiments for optimizing process conditions of fuel rod was performed. Fuel rods with 15.9mm diameter and 0.57mm wall thickness of cladding tubes and end caps have been used and optimum conditions of endcap welding have been selected. In this experiment, the qualification test was performed by tensile tests, helium leak inspections, and metallography examinations to qualify the endcap welding procedure. The soundness of the welds quality of a dual cooled fuel rods has been confirmed by mechanical tests and microstructural examinations.

Sliding and impact/sliding wear test in room temperature air and water were performed to evaluate the effect of spring shapes on the wear mechanism of a fuel rod. The main focus was to quantitatively compare the wear behavior of a fuel rod with different support springs (i.e. two concaves, a convex and a flat shape) using a ratio of wear volume to worn area (De)-The results indicated that the wear volumes at each spring condition were varied with the change of test environment and loading type. However, the relationship between the wear volume and worn area was determined by only spring shape even though the wear tests were carried out at different test conditions. From the above results, the optimized spring shape which has more wear-resistant could be determined using the analysis results of the relation between the variation of De and worn surface observations in each test condition.

This study evaluates the change of computer tomography (CT) number in the case of the metal artifact reduction (MAR) algorithm, using the phantom. The images were obtained from dual CT using a gammex 467 tissue characterization phantom, which is similar to human tissues. The test method was performed by dividing pre and post MAR algorithm and measured CT values of nonmagnetic materials within the phantom. In addition, the changes of CT values for each material were compared and analyzed after measuring CT values up to 140 keV, using the spectral HU curve followed by CT scan. As a result, in the cases of N rod (trabecular bone) and E rod (trabecular bone), the CT numbers decreased as keV increasing but were constant above 90 keV. In the cases of I rod (dense bone) and K rod (dense bone), the CT numbers also decreased as keV increased but were uniform above 90 keV. The CT numbers from 40 keV to 140 keV were consistent in the cases of J rod (liver), D rod (liver), L rod (muscle), and F rod (muscle). For A rod (adipose), G rod (adipose), B rod (breast) and O rod (breast), the CT numbers increased as keV increased but were constant after 90 keV. The CT numbers from 40 keV to 140 keV were consistent in the cases of C rod (lung (exhale)), P rod (lung (exhale)), M rod (lung (inhale)) and H rod (lung (exhale)). Conclusively, because dual CT exhibits no changes in image quality and is able to analyze nonmagnetic materials by measuring the CT values of various materials, it will be used in the future as a useful tool for the diagnosis of lesions.

소경각재를 이용한 소경각재 적층목을 기둥-보 목조건축 구조재로 이용하기 위해선 장대재 제작이 가능하여야 한다. 본 연구에서는 낙엽송 소경각재의 종접합 성능평가를 실시하였다. 시험편들은 종접합 방법에 따라 6가지 형상으로 제작하였으며 인장 및 휨 강도시험으로 종접합성능을 검토하였다. 종접합 접합부의 인장시험에서 Lap 시험편의 인장강도는 Double Lap 시험편보다 양호하였으며, Scarf 시험편의 인장강도는 Hooked scarf 시험편보다 양호하였다. Rod 시험편의 인장강도는 3.6 MPa로 가장 양호하였다. 종접합 접합부의 휨 시험결과 봉형 GFRP를 삽입 접착한 시험편들은 평균 29 MPa의 휨 파괴계수가 측정되었으며, 타 접합부 시험편들은 11 MPa 이하의 휨 파괴계수 값이 관찰되었다. 봉형 GFRP (Glass Fiber Reinforced Plastic)를 삽입 접착한 시험편들은 인성파괴가 관찰되었고 나머지 시험편들은 취성파괴가 발생하였다. Rod + Lap 시험편의 평균 휨 파괴계수가 30.5 MPa로 종접합한 시험편 중 가장 양호한 성능을 발휘하였다. Rod + Lap 시험편의 휨 강도는 종접합하지 않은 대조군 시험편 휨 파괴계수의 66%에 해당되었다. 낙엽송 소경각재 종접합 방법으로 봉형 GFRP 삽입 접착이 가장 유효한 강도를 나타내는 것을 확인하였다.

목적: 주시물체간의 거리와 물체의 크기 변화가 동적입체시력에 변화를 주는 요인인지 확인하고자 하였다. 방법: 피검사자는 평균연령 $23.89{\pm}1.76$세의 37명(남26명, 여11명)이었다. 모든 피검사자는 완전교정된 안경을 착용하였으며, 교정시력은 0.9 이상이었다. 입체시력은 세막대검사를 실시하였고, 좌 우 막대간 시야각은 $5^{\circ}$, $10^{\circ}$, 그리고 $15^{\circ}$, 막대두께는 7 mm, 14 mm, 그리고 21 mm로 하여 각각의 조건을 설정하였다. 각 조건에서의 입체시력 측정은 2.5 m 거리에서 각각 3회 반복측정하여 평균값을 기록하였다. 결과: 막대두께가 7 mm, 14 mm일 때, 시야각이 커질수록 동적입체시력이 감소하였으며, 시야각 $5^{\circ}$와 비교하여 $10^{\circ}$와 $15^{\circ}$에서 각각 유의하게 감소하였다(p<0.01). 막대두께가 21 mm일 때, 시야각이 커질수록 동적입체시력이 감소하였으며, 특히 시야각 $5^{\circ}$와 비교하여 $15^{\circ}$에서 유의하게 감소하였다(p<0.01). 막대두께에 따른 동적입체시력은 막대가 두꺼워질수록 입체시력이 증가하는 경향이었다. 결론: 주시물체간의 시야각과 주시물체의 크기는 동적입체시력에 영향을 주는 요인인 것으로 나타났다.
