The dense granular flow spallation target is a new target concept proposed for an Accelerator-Driven Sub-critical (ADS) system. In this paper, the beam-target configurations of a tungsten granular flow target for the ADS with a thermal power of 1 GW is explored. The beam profile options using different scanning methods are discussed. The critical geometry parameters are adjusted to investigate the performance of the granular target from the aspects of neutron efficiency, stability and temperature distribution in target medium. To figure out how the target under accident conditions would behave, different clogging conditions are induced in the simulation. The dynamic processes are analyzed and some important parameters such as abnormal temperature rise and beam cutoff time window are obtained. The response of the sub-critical reactor to a clogging accident is also investigated. It is indicated that the monitoring of the granular flow by the neutron detectors in the sub-critical core will be effective.

Over the years, numerous evaluations of material attractiveness have been performed for conventional light water reactors to better understand the nature of the spent fuel material and its desirability for misuse at different points in the nuclear fuel cycle. However, availability of such assessments for newer, Generation IV reactors such as Molten Salt Reactors is rather limited. In the present study we address the gap in knowledge of material attractiveness for molten salt reactor systems and describe the nature of irradiated fuel salts which the nuclear safeguards community might be faced with in the near future as more and more such reactors enter commission and operation. Within the scope of the paper, we use a large database of simulated irradiated fuel salt isotopics (and other derived quantities such as gamma activity, decay heat, and neutron emission rates) developed specifically for a molten salt reactor concept in order to shed some light on possible weapons usability of uranium and plutonium present in the irradiated fuel salts. This has been achieved by proposing a new attractiveness metric that is better suited for quantifying attractiveness of irradiated salts from a model molten salt concept. The said metric has been computed using a database that has been created by simulating the irradiation of molten fuel salt in a concept core over a wide range of operational parameters (burnup, initial enrichment, and cooling time) using the Monte-Carlo particle transport code, Serpent. With the help of this attractiveness metric, the findings from this study have shown that in relative terms, molten salt spent fuel is more attractive than spent fuel produced by a conventional light water reactor. The findings also underscore the need for strengthened safeguards measures for such spent fuel. These results are expected to be useful in the future for regulatory authorities as well as for nuclear safeguards inspectors for designing a functional safeguards verification routine for irradiated fuel of such unique nature.

물리에서 멘탈 시뮬레이션은 개념을 이해하거나 생성하기 위한 중요한 매커니즘이다. 만약 학생들이 멘탈 시뮬레이션에 어려움을 겪는다면 물리 개념의 이해 또한 어려워진다. 3차원 시뮬레이션 콘텐츠는 학생들에게 공간적 조작의 가이드를 제공함으로써 물리 개념 이해를 도울 수 있다. 이 연구에서는 빛의 직진 개념의 이해를 돕기 위한 3차원 시뮬레이션 콘텐츠를 개발하여 대학생 20명에게 적용하였다. 적용 결과, Hake gain이 0.93으로 수업에 대해 매우 높은 수준의 이해도를 보였다. 또한 학생들은 새로운 맥락에 대해서도 멘탈 시뮬레이션을 통해 현상을 잘 예측하였다. 이를 통해 3차원 시뮬레이션 콘텐츠를 통해 학생들의 개념 이해가 잘 이루어졌음을 알 수 있다.

The concept of convolution is a fundamental mathematical concept in a wide variety of disciplines and applications including probability, image processing, physics, and many more. The visualization of convolution for the continuous case is generally predetermined. On the other hand, the convolution structure embedded in the discrete case is often subtle and its visualization is non- trivial. This paper purports to develop the CAS techniques in visualizing the logical structure in the concept of a discrete convolution.

본 연구의 목적은 예비교사를 대상으로 하여 측정 자료의 불확실도 개념을 조사하는 것이다. 연구의 대상은 서울시내 소재한 대학의 예비교사 27명이었다. 예비교사들에게 개방적인 탐구과제를 수행하게 하고 이것을 관찰 분석하는 방법을 사용하였다. 예비교사들의 개념을 조사하기 위해 2차례의 질문지를 제시하였으며, 일부에 대해서는 면담을 실시하였다. 응답한 자료를 분석하여 불확실도의 개념요소인 대표값의 표현, 정밀과 정확, 오차의 분석, 불확실도의 전파 등으로 나누어 예비교사들의 개념을 정리하였다. 연구결과에 의하면 예비교사들은 대표값의 표현에서 과학자들의 개념과 다른 개념을 가지고 있었으며, 정밀과 정확을 혼돈하여 사용하고 정밀한 실험을 실시하는데 소홀하였다. 또한 오차를 나열할 뿐 그 원인이나 실험에 영향을 미치는 정도를 분석하는 경우는 거의 없었다. 이러한 연구결과는 예비교사와 학생들이 올바른 개념을 가지게 하기 위한 교육과정이나 교수 학습 자료 개발에 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

Tokamak reactor system analysis code was developed at KAERI (Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute) and is used here for the conceptual development of a DEMO reactor. In the system analysis code, prospects of the development of plasma physics and the relevant technology are included in a simple mathematical model, i.e., the overall plant power balance equation and the plasma power balance equation. This system analysis code provides satisfactory results for developing the concept of a DEMO reactor and for identifying the necessary R&D areas, both in the physics and technology areas for the realization of the concept. With this system analysis code, the performance of a DEMO reactor with a limited extension of the plasma physics and technology adopted in the ITER design. The main requirements for the DEMO reactor were selected as: 1) demonstrate tritium self-sufficiency, 2) generate net electricity, and 3) achieve a steady-state operation. It was shown that to access an operational region for higher performance, the main restrictions are presented by the divertor heat load and the steady-state operation requirements.

In this paper, we synthesize ZnO wire on Si substrate by catalyst-free thermal chemical vapor deposition (CVD). Each ZnO wire is grew up at different condition such as temperature and O2 flow rate. The Young's modulus of individual ZnO wires were estimated using quasi-static and dynamic measurements, as well as resonance frequency measurements. Using this system, current-voltage characteristics of each ZnO wire structure fabricated on a trench were measured. A new concept of electromechanical device structure combined with the piezoelectric effect of ZnO will be suggested in the end of this paper.

The concept of dense granular-flow target (DGT) for the China Initiative Accelerator Driven Subcritical system (CiADS) is an attractive choice for high heat removal ability, low chemical toxicity, and radiotoxicity. A wobbling hollow beam is proposed to enhance the homogeneity of temperature rise of flowing particles in beam-target coupling zone. In this paper, the design procedure of target and beam parameters was discussed firstly. Then we simulated the heat deposition and transfer of the scanning beam in DGT to study the effect of beam parameters. The results show the flux density of proton beam plays a crucial role in the distribution of temperature rise while the contributions from scanning frequency heat transfer are also obvious. Moreover, heat transfer in transversal directions is insignificant, resulting in a low heat flux towards the sidewalls of DGT. This work not only contributes to the design of DGT, but also beneficial for understanding the beam-target coupling in porous materials.
