It is the well-known fact that most part of goods transported are moved on the unfavorable ocean and even a small amount of accident on sea is extremely dangerous for human lives, financial losses, and social responsibility. Among the several causes of accidents, those by fire have occurred frequently and their damage has been highly serious. The aim of this paper is to assess the risk of fires due to oil leakage in the machinery space. To define the possible fire scenario, our team has performed the search of casualty database and reviewed the previous and various studies in the field. As a result, it is noted that the quantitative risk of the fire scenario have been evaluated on the ground of the FSA risk model. The expected frequency of a fire amounts to incidents during the life of a ship, and the expected financial damage amounts to 5,654 USD per a ship. By adopting Safety Instrumented System (SIS) introduced in IEC 61508 and IEC 61511, SIS model is designed to prevent oil leakage fire as a risk reduction method. It is concluded that System Integrity Level (SIL) 1 seems to be appropriate level of SIS.

교통문제 해결을 위해 건설된 자동차 전용도로인 도시고속도로는 신호에 의하여 단속되지 않는 연속 교통류가 주된 흐름인 관계로 주행차량들의 주행속도가 일반도로에 비해 높아 교통사고 발생 시 인명 피해의 정도가 매우 크다는 특징이 있으며, 특히 인명 피해의 정도가 큰 중상 교통사고는 전체 교통사고에 있어서 매우 중요한 위치를 점하고 있어 중상 교통사고 발생에 미치는 영향요인에 대한 분석은 중상 교통사고 감소대책 수립 시 가장 우선적으로 고려되어져야 할 것이다. 따라서 본 연구는 도시고속도로에서 발생한 중상 교통사고 발생에 있어 여러 인자들의 복합적 작용을 알아보기 위한 미시적 분석의 일환으로 영향요인의 영향정도를 판별할 수 있는 모델을 구축하였는바, 그 결과는 다음과 같이 나타났다. 첫째, 판별모델에서는 전체 적중률들이 비교적 높게 나타났고, 상관비들을 고려해 볼 때 본 모델들이 유효하다고 판단되었으며, 제반 영향요인들의 특성 역시 명확하게 구분되었다. 둘째, 판별모델을 통하여 도시고속도로에서의 중상 교통사고 발생 영향요인별 문제점을 명확하게 도출할 수 있었다. 셋째, 판별모델을 통하여 도출된 문제점에 대한 개선대책도 명확하게 제시할 수 있었다.

원자로 정지동안에도, 잔열제거계통은 그 기능이 계속 유지되어야 하나, 실제로 가압 경수로에서 냉각상실고가 많이 발생되어 있다. 본 논문은 원자로 정지중의 냉각기능상실을 예방하고, 또한 냉각기능상실로 인한 노심손상의 중대성을 완화시키기 위한 대책을 강구하기 위한 시도로서, 전형적인 가압경수로에 대한 사고/고장 수목과 운전원실수 확률을 위한 HCR 모델, 초기 사상의 빈도를 위한 2단계 bayesian 방법 및 고장난 계통의 회복 활률을 위한 계단함수 모델 등을 이용한 원자로 정지 위해도 모델을 개발하여, 잔열제거계통의 신뢰도를 분석하였다. 그 결과는 원자로가 정지 중일 때의 위해도가 운전중일 때 이것에 비해 별로 낮지 않은 것으로 나타났으며, 몇 가지의 설계개선을 통하여 냉각기능상실로 인한 노심 손상확률을 상당히 낮출 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.

This study aims to develop an improved evaluation technology for assessing CANDU-6 safety. For this purpose, the multiple steam generator tube rupture (mSGTR) followed by an unmitigated station blackout (SBO) in a CANDU-6 plant was selected as a hypothetical event scenario and the analysis model to evaluate the plant responses was envisioned into the MARS-KS input model. The model includes logic models for controlling the pressure and inventory of the primary heat transport system (PHTS) decreasing due to the u-tubes' rupture, as well as the main features of PHTS with a simplified model for the horizontal fuel channels, the secondary heat transport system including the shell side of steam generators, feedwater and main steam line, and moderator system. A steady state condition was successfully achieved to confirm the stable convergence of the key parameters. Until the turbine trip, the fuel channels were adequately cooled by forced circulation of coolant and supply of main feedwater. However, due to the continuous reduction of PHTS pressure and inventory, the reactor and turbine were shut down and the thermal-hydraulic behaviors between intact and broken loops got asymmetric. Furthermore, as the conditions of low-flow coolant and high void fraction in the broken loop persisted, leading to degradation of decay heat removal, it was evaluated that the peak cladding temperature (PCT) exceeded the limit criteria for ensuring nuclear fuel integrity. This study is expected to provide the technical bases to the accident management strategy for transient conditions with multiple events.

This study analyzed the safety management efficiency through input-oriented BCC Model using DEA by making of Models, in which this study selected the number of staff affiliated with the construction site, number of staff members on the construction team, and number of safety personnel as Input Factor, along with the number of disaster victims and zero-accident accomplished hours as output elements, targeting 40-or-so apartment building construction sites which are being built by 3 domestic construction companies. As a result of efficiency, it was 0.643, the number of efficient DMU was 4. In the aspect of returns to scale, 21 construction sites(52.5%) found to be in a state of increasing returns while 14 construction sites(35%) was in a state of Decreasing returns. The reason for inefficiency was found to lie in technical factors in case of 30 construction sites(75%). Lastly, inefficient DMU is in need of 38.9 % and 66% reduction in site personnel and safety personnel. Based on study results, the 29 construction sites accounting for 72.5% of DMU for safety management efficiency evaluation object turned out to do inefficient safety management that doesn't fit the size of each company.

The RVACS is a versatile and robust safety system driven by two natural circulations: in-vessel coolant and ex-vessel air. To observe interaction between the two natural circulations, SINCRO-IT facility was designed with two different similarity laws simultaneously. Bo' based similarity law was employed for the in-vessel, while Ishii's similarity law for the ex-vessel excluding the radiation. Compared to the prototype, the sodium and air system, SINCRO-IT was designed with Wood's metal and air, having 1:4 of the length reduction, and 1.68:1 of the time scale ratio. For the steady state, RV temperature limit was violated at 0.8% of the decay heat, while the sodium boiling was predicted at 1.3%. It showed good accordance with the system code, TRACE. For an arbitrary re-criticality scenario with RVACS solitary operation, sodium boiling was predicted at 25,100 s after power increase from 1.0 to 2.0%, while the system code showed 30,300. Maximum temperature discrepancy between the experiments and system code was 4.2%. The design and methodology were validated by the system code TRACE in terms of the convection, and simultaneously, the system code was validated against the simulating experiments SINCRO-IT. The validated RVACS model could be imported to further accident analysis.

Advanced Pressurized Water Reactors (APWRs) and Boiling Water Reactors (BWRs) employ a suppression pool as a heat sink to prevent containment overpressure. Steam can be discharged into the pool through multi-hole spargers or blowdown pipes in both normal and accident conditions. Direct Contact Condensation (DCC) creates sources of momentum and heat. The competition between these two sources determines the development of thermal stratification or mixing of the pool. Thermal stratification is of safety concern as it reduces the cooling capability compared to a completely mixed pool condition. In this work we develop a scaling approach to prediction of the thermal stratification in a water pool induced by steam injection through spargers. Experimental data obtained from large-scale pool tests conducted in the PPOOLEX and PANDA facilities, as well as simulation results obtained using validated codes are used to develop the scaling. Two injection orientations, namely radial injection through multi-hole Sparger Head (SH) and vertical injection through Load Reduction Ring (LRR), are considered. We show that the erosion rate of the cold layer can be estimated using the Richardson number. In this work, scaling laws are proposed to estimate both the (i) transient erosion velocity and (ii) the stable position of the thermocline. These scaling laws are then implemented into a 1D model to simulate the thermal behavior of the pool during steam injection through the sparger.

This is the fourth of a series of companion papers dealing with the mechanical property reductions of various marine structural steels. Even though a reduction of the elastic modulus according to temperature increases has not been obtained from experiments, high temperature experiments from room temperature to $900^{\circ}C$ revealed that initial the yield strength and tensile strength are both seriously degraded. The mechanical properties obtained from high temperature experiments are compared with those from EC3 (Eurocode 3). It is found that the high temperature test results generally comply with the prediction values by EC3. Based on the prediction of EC3, time domain nonlinear finite element analyses were carried out for a blast wall installed on a real FPSO. After applying the reduced mechanical properties, corresponding to $600^{\circ}C$ to the FE model of the blast wall, more than three times the deflections were observed and it was observed that most structural parts experience plastic deformations exceeding the reduced yield strength at the high temperature. It is noted that a protection facility such as PFP (passive fire protection) should be required for structures likely to be directly exposed to fire and explosion accident.

도로교통 안전분야에 투자되는 예산분야는 일반적으로 교통안전시설분야(Engineering), 교통단속분야(Enforcement), 교통안전교육 및 홍보분야(Education)의 3가지로 구분하고 있으며, 이것을 3E 정책이라 한다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 항목별 투자가 도로교통사고 감소에 어느 정도의 영향을 미치는 가에 대해 패널분석을 통해 추정하고자 하였다. 종속변수는 교통사고 건수, 사망자, 부상자수로 구분하였고, 설명변수로는 기존 연구에서 주로 이용되었던 인구, 자동차등록대수, 도로연장거리에 본 연구의 주된 관심사인 교통안전시설투자예산, 교통안전교육 및 홍보예산, 단속건수를 15개 지방자치단체의 지역자료와 1992년부터 2007년까지의 연도별 자료를 사용하였다. 전체 교통사고를 종속변수로 한 분석결과 동일한 투자액에 대비하여 교통안전교육 및 홍보투자가 시설투자에 비해 효과가 큰 것으로 분석되었다, 또한 6가지 세부교통사고로 분리한 분석결과에서도 동일한 결과를 보여 현재 교통 안전시설투자 위주로 이루어지고 있는 교통안전예산을 교통안전교육 및 홍보에도 분배될 필요성이 있음을 시사하고 있다.
