Site or multi-unit (MU) risk assessment has been a major issue in the field of nuclear safety study since the Fukushima accident in 2011. There have been few methods or experiences for MU risk assessment because the Fukushima accident was the first real MU accident and before the accident, there was little expectation of the possibility that an MU accident will occur. In addition to the lack of experience of MU risk assessment, since an MU nuclear power plant site is usually very complex to analyze as a whole, it was considered that a systematic method such as probabilistic safety assessment (PSA) is difficult to apply to MU risk assessment. This paper proposes a new MU risk assessment methodology by using the conventional PSA methodology which is widely used in nuclear power plant risk assessment. The logical failure structure of a site with multiple units is suggested from the definition of site risk, and a decomposition method is applied to identify specific MU failure scenarios.

In order to consider statistical properties of probability variables used in the structural analysis, the conventional approach using the safety factor based on past experience usually estimated the safety of a structure. Also, the real structures could only be analyzed with the error in estimation of loads, material characters and the dimensions of the members. But the errors should be considered systematically in the structural analysis. In this paper, we estimated the probability of failure of the pressure vessel. And also, this paper presents sensitivity values of the random variable. Finally, we show that reliability index and probability of failure can present the tolerance limit of dimension of randam variables.

Background: To review the experience that used both ventricular assist device(VAD) and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation(ECMO) for children with congential heart disease requiring postcardiotomy mechanical circulatory support. Material and Method: Between March 1993 and May 1995, we applied mechanical assist device using centrifugal pump to the 16 patients who failed to be weaned from cardiopulmonary bypass(n=15) or had been in cardiogenic shock in intensive care unit(n=1). The diagnosis were all congenital heart diseases and the ages of patients ranged from 20 days to 10 years (mean age=2.5$\pm$3.5 years). Result: The methods of mechanical circulatory support were LVAD(n=13), BVAD (n=1), and ECMO(n=2). The mean assist times were 54.0$\pm$23.7 hours. Post-assist complications were in orders: bleeding, acute renal failure, ventricular failure, respiratory failure, infection, and neurologic complication. It was possible for 9 patients(56.3%) to be weaned from assist device and 5 patients(31.3%) were discharged from hospital. There was no statistical significant between hospital discharged group and undischarged group by age, body weight, cardiopulmonary bypass time, and assist time. Conclusion: The ventricular assist device is an effective modality in salvaging the patient who failed to be weaned from cardiopulmonary bypass, but multiple factors must be considered for improving the results of mechanical circulatory support ; such as patient selection, optimal time of starting the assist device, and prevention and management of the complications.

In recent, the automotive number of korea has risen above 14millions vehicles. The automotive was settled down goods haying to live. In a flood of this automotive the accuracy diagnosis for the vehicle certainly need for people referencing car. To do this diagnosis, the researcher has to experience many example in the field and need to system them. Expecially, the study for failure of the engine nearly research in the korea. When moving parts of engine no problem. In order to work, the engine must operate normality state. In this paper the purpose study the failure for the tribological example of engine.

무인항공기용 비행제어 시스템(FCS)의 신뢰성은 소형, 저가, 경량의 설계 제약 조건으로 인해 신뢰성이 과소평가 된다. 그러나 무인항공기에 탑재되는 비행제어 시스템의 고장은 항공기의 손실 및 추락사고로 이어지기 때문에 시스템 설계단계에서부터 정량적인 신뢰성 목표를 두어 설계검증이 이루어져야 한다. 본 논문에서는 비행제어 시스템의 개발 경험을 바탕으로 기능별 서브시스템에 따른 고장률을 예측하였다. 이를 바탕으로 시스템 신뢰성 목표를 만족시키기 위해 필요한 다중화 형상을 제시하였다. 이 결과들은 비행제어 시스템의 하드웨어 설계에 활용될 수 있다.

In order to consider the statistical properties of probability variables which are used in structural analysis, the conventional approach of using safety factors based on past experience, are usually used to estimate the safety of a structure. The real structures could only be analyzed with the error in estimation of loads, materials and dimensional characteristics. Errors should be considered systematically in the structural analysis. In this paper, we estimated the probability of failure of two pressure vessels, simultaneously, using computational analysis. One pressure vessel, theoretically, had no stiffener whereas the other had. This paper also discusses sensitivity values of random variables in the rounded parts of the pressure vessel which had ring-style stiffener in the center of the external area which had ring-style stiffener. Finally, we show that the reliability index, and the probability of failure, can be calculated to particular tolerance limits.

운영 중에는 결함 수정이 쉽지 않아서 고장률이 일정하다고 하는 연구도 있다. 그러나, 운영단계 중에는 결함을 수정하건 안하건 시간이 지남에 따라서 고장율이 줄어들어서 신뢰도가 향상된다는 사실이 관찰되고 있다. 이러한 신뢰도 성장에 대한 이유는 제품을 사용하게 됨에 따라 그에 대한 경험이 쌓이게 되며, 제품을 정확하게 사용하는 법을 배우게 되고, 또한 결함을 일으키는 환경을 발견하여 조치를 취할 수 있기 때문이다. 이러한 성장모델에 영향을 미치는 또 다른 요인을 살펴보면 제품을 설치한 후에 사용자가 새로운 드라이버를 설치한다든지, 소프트웨어를 더 나은 새로운 버전으로 업그레이드 시킨다든지 하는 행위를 하는 것이 필요하다는 것을 알게 된다는 것이다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 현상을 표현하는 간단한 모델을 제시한다.

This report describes our 10-year experience with intracardiac repair in 42 patients older than 16 year with tetralogy of Fallot. The mean age was 22.0$\pm$5.18 years[range 16~41]. The preoperative clinical manifestations were cyanosis & clubbing[93%], frequent URI [55%], anoxic spell[40%], pulmonary tuberculosis[21%], tuberculous empyema[7%], chronic renal failure[7%], congestive heart failure[7%] and subacute bacterial endocarditis [2%], etc. The previous shunt procedure for palliation had been performed in 7 patients. The type of VSD were typical perimembranous type[67%], total canal defect[28%] and combined type[5%]. The right ventricular outflow tract obstruction were combined type[69%], infundibular type[21%] and valvular type[10%]. Transannular patch was used in 50% of patients. Associated cardiovascular anomalies were ASD[33%], PFO[31%], Rt. aortic arch[10%], Lt. SVC[10%], single Rt. pulmonary artery, single Lt. coronary artery, ASI, proximal stenosis of Rt. pulmonary artery and anomalous systemic venous return, etc. Hospital mortality was 7.1%[3 cases]in overall.

Many reinforced concrete (RC) buildings constructed prior to 1980's lack important features guaranteeing ductile response under earthquake excitation. Structural components in such buildings, especially columns, do not satisfy the reinforcement details demanded by current seismic design codes. Columns with deficient reinforcement details may suffer significant damage when subjected to cyclic lateral loads. They can also experience rapid lateral strength degradation induced by shear failure. The objective of this study is to accurately simulate the load-deformation response of RC columns experiencing shear failure. In order to do so, model parameters are calibrated to the load-deformation response of 40 RC column specimens failed in shear. Multivariate stepwise regression analyses are conducted to develop the relationship between the model parameters and physical parameters of RC column specimens. It is shown that the proposed predictive equations successfully estimated the model parameters of RC column specimens with great accuracy. The proposed equations also showed better accuracy than the existing ones.
