To remove heat generated during a burn-up test of nuclear fuels, the heat generation rate of nuclear fuels should be calculated accurately, and a coolant should be circulated in the test loop at an adequate flow rate. HANARO is an open pool-type reactor with an independent test loop for the burn-up test of nuclear fuels. A test rig is installed in the test loop, and a coolant is circulated through the test loop to maintain the temperature of the nuclear fuel rods within a desired temperature during an irradiation test. The components and sensors in the test rig can be broken or malfunction owing to the flow-induced vibration. In this study, a coolant flow simulation system was developed to verify and confirm the soundness of components and sensors assembled in the test rig with a high flow rate of the coolant.

In the braking system, the friction force is the most important factor of the design. For long time, many researchers have been strived for getting the exact friction coefficients. But the friction coefficients are affected by the road condition and changed by lots of parameters, such as normal force and characteristics between two contacted materials, temperature, etc. For the development of ABS of the aircraft, HILS(Hardware-In-the-Loop-Simulation) test and dynamometer test was carried out. For the calculation of the friction coefficients, the wheel moments were measured using the load cell mounted on the housing of the wheel. The test conditions were dry and greasy, as the 0.7 and 0.4 in friction coefficient, respectively. In this paper, the test results of the friction coefficients were represented and the improvement method was suggested.

The technology development of a high performance upper stage engine for a GEO(GEostationary Orbit) KSLV(Korea Space Launch Vehicle) is undergoing in Korea Aerospace Research Institute. KSLV is composed of an open cycle engine with gas generator, which is for a low orbit launch vehicle. However the future GEO launch vehicle requires a high performance upper stage engine with a high specific impulse. The staged combustion cycle engine is necessary for this mission. In this paper, current progress and future plan for staged combustion cycle engine development is described.

75 tonf liquid rocket engine combustion test was performed at Naro space center Engine Combustion Test Facility for KSLV-II. A gradual pressure drop was observed during off-design combustion test turbopump inlet condition using cooled kerosene at 271 K. It was found that the water content inside kerosene could cause pressure drop at 40 ㎛ grade filter through the water contests analysis of kerosene, kerosene cooling test and dehydration of kerosene.

ATTOL is a software unit testing tool produced by the ATTOL Testware SA in France. It automates the entire software unit testing process: test plan template and test program generation, test program execution, test result analysis and test report generation. ATTOL is suited for the development of embedded software as it allows programmers to operate in native and cross development environments. Particularly, it is used for the development of the flight software which is embedded in the Communication Ocean Meteorological Satellite (COMS). As the flight software is mission-critical, it requires the strict software quality and high testing constraints. The flight software of COMS is verified by ATTOL in native and cross platforms. In 2002, ATTOL was taken over by the IDM Rational Software and has been supplied with the name of Test RealTime (TestRT). The test process of TestRT becomes different from that of ATTOL as TestRT provides the new functionalities that were absent from ATTOL. TestRT provides the new features in the test script language, as well. In this paper, we compare the test process of ATTOL to TestRT With an example of COMS and explain what has been changed in the test script language.

To improve safety analysis technology for a nuclear reactor containment considering an interaction between a reactor coolant system (RCS) and containment, this study aims at an experimental investigation on the integrated simulation of the RCS and containment, with an integral effect test facility, ATLAS-CUBE. For a realistic simulation of a pressure and temperature (P/T) transient, the containment simulation vessel was designed to preserve a volumetric scale equivalently to the RCS volume scale of ATLAS. Three test cases for a steam line break (SLB) transient were conducted with variation of the initial condition of the passive heat sink or the steam flow direction. The test results indicated a stratified behavior of the steam-gas mixture in the containment following a high-temperature steam injection in prior to the spray injection. The test case with a reduced heat transfer on the passive heat sink showed a faster increase of the P/T inside the containment. The effect of the steam flow direction was also investigated with respect to a multi-dimensional distribution of the local heat transfer on the passive heat sink. The integral effect test data obtained in this study will contribute to validating the evaluation methodology for mass and energy (M/E) and P/T transient of the containment.

A single trait linear mixed random regression test-day model was applied for the first time for analyzing the first lactation monthly test-day milk yield records in Karan Fries cattle. The test-day milk yield data was modeled using a random regression model (RRM) considering different order of Legendre polynomial for the additive genetic effect (4th order) and the permanent environmental effect (5th order). Data pertaining to 1,583 lactation records spread over a period of 30 years were recorded and analyzed in the study. The variance component, heritability and genetic correlations among test-day milk yields were estimated using RRM. RRM heritability estimates of test-day milk yield varied from 0.11 to 0.22 in different test-day records. The estimates of genetic correlations between different test-day milk yields ranged 0.01 (test-day 1 [TD-1] and TD-11) to 0.99 (TD-4 and TD-5). The magnitudes of genetic correlations between test-day milk yields decreased as the interval between test-days increased and adjacent test-day had higher correlations. Additive genetic and permanent environment variances were higher for test-day milk yields at both ends of lactation. The residual variance was observed to be lower than the permanent environment variance for all the test-day milk yields.

As mercury absorbed into body can cross the blood-brain barrier and react with DNA and RNA. Central nervous system has been known to be affected especially in children. But it was very difficult to know the influences of chronic low-does Hg exposure on the health. Although many studies investigated the affect, most of results were still disparate. In order to investigate the health effects of mercury exposure, several test were conducted for some Korean school children. The general health effects were investigated using blood test, Posturography and computer-based neurobehavioral test was done to examine the affect of Hg into neural responses. About 400 children were chosen for blood test whose blood Hg level were upper and lower 10% of population participated in the nationwide Hg exposure survey. The concentration of calcium and creatine, the number of white and red blood cell showed statistical significance with Hg exposure in blood test. Another 36 children were selected from the same participants for the posturography and neurobehavioral test. The intensity and center frequency of hand tremor which were related to unconsciousness also showed distinct significances. Any general relations with Hg exposure were not found in all test including computer-based neurobehavioral test.
