With the development of information technology, the cybersecurity threat continues as digital-related technologies are applied to the instrumentation and control system of nuclear power plants. The malfunction of the instrumentation and control system can cause economic damage due to shutdown, and furthermore, it can lead to national disasters such as radioactive emissions, so countering cybersecurity threats is an important issue. In general, the study of cybersecurity in instrumentation and control systems is concentrated on safety systems, and diverse protection systems perform protection and reactor shutdown functions, leading to reactor shutdown or, in the worst case, non-stop situations. To accurately analyze cyber threats in the diverse protection system, its linked facilities should be analyzed together. Risk analysis should be conducted by analyzing the potential impact of inter-facility cyberattacks on related facilities and the impact of cybersecurity on each configuration module of the diverse protection system. In this paper, we analyze the linkage of the diverse protection system and discuss the cybersecurity linkage threat by analyzing the availability of equipment, the cyber threat impact of the linked equipment, and the configuration module's cybersecurity vulnerability.

원자력발전소의 방화지역에서 전기적인 단락, 지락, 전기회로 개방 등의 전기 문제로 화재가 발생할 수 있다. 전기 화재가 발생할 경우 안전계통 및 관련기기의 안전정지 기능이 상실된다. 이러한 사고를 예방하기 위하여 안전계통은 다중성, 독립성으로 설계되어 있다. 그러나 케이블 화재시 운전원은 오동작, 잘못된 지시 및 계측으로 발전소 상황을 잘 못 판단하여 적절한 조치를 하지 못할 수 있다. 따라서 주제어실 화재시 케이블 기능상실온도에서 최소 운전원 조치 요구시간인 5분은 매우 중요하다. 본 논문에서 주제어실 화재시 케이블의 기능상실온도 시간을 분석하여 운전원 조치시간이 충분한지 평가하여 주제어실 화재에 대한 안전성을 확인하였다.

본 연구에서는 다중오동작을 포함하고 있는 화재안전정지분석 교육자료를 개발하기 위하여 가상원전에서의 화재안전정지분석을 결정론적 화재분석코드를 사용하여 수행하였다. 교육용 가상원전은 원자로건물과 보조건물로 이루어졌고, 총 22개의 방화지역으로 구성되었다. 교육용 가상원전의 각 방화지역에는 밸브, 펌프, 비상디젤발전기, 스위치기어, 모터제어반, 로직컨트롤러 등의 기기가 배치되었다. 교육용 가상원전 기기들은 두 개의 케이블로 연결되었으며, 각 케이블은 케이블 트레이를 따라서 방화지역을 지나간다고 가정했다. 방화지역분석을 위해 교육용 가상원전에 대한 기기 및 케이블 정보를 데이터베이스화하였고, 다중오동작 시나리오, 기기로직 및 케이블로직을 가정하여 방화지역분석을 수행하였다. 방화지역 분석결과 문제가 되는 케이블과 케이블 트레이에 대해서 3시간 내화성능으로 케이블을 래핑하는 완화조치를 적용하였다.

The Second Shutdown Drive Mechanism (SSDM) provides an alternate and independent means of reactor shutdown. The Second Shutdown Rods (SSRs) of SSDMs are poised at the top of the core by the hydraulic force driven from a hydraulic system during normal operation. The rods drop by gravity when a trip is commended by a Reactor Protection System, Alternate Protection System, Automatic Seismic Trip System or operator by means of power off solenoid valves of hydraulic system. This paper describes the test results of seismic qualification of a prototype SSDM hydraulic system to demonstrate that its structural integrity and operability (functionality) are maintained during and after seismic excitations, that is, an adequacy of the SSDM design. From the results, this paper shows that the SSDM hydraulic system satisfies all its design requirements without any malfunctions during and after seismic excitations.

원전 방화지역에서 화재가 발생할 경우 안전정지 케이블은 단락, 접지, 단선 등 전기적 고장으로 케이블에 고장이 발생하여 그 결과로 안전정지계통의 설비와 기기는 안전정지 기능을 상실할 수 있다. 따라서 원자력 발전소 안전정지계통의 설비와 기능은 다중설계, 계열간 독립 및 분리 원칙에 따라 운영되고 있다. 케이블 화재의 경우 기기 오동작과 오지시 또는 잘못된 계측을 유발할 수 있으며 운전원의 상황 판단에 오류를 일으켜 안전정지 기능을 저해할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 원자력발전소 케이블 화재 조사 및 원인 분석, 케이블 화재온도 및 기능상실 기준 및 국내 원자력발전소에서 사용중인 케이블을 선정하여 노출 화재 시 케이블 기능상실 온도를 분석하여 케이블 안전성을 확인하였다.

From the PSA point of view, the Fukushima accident of Japan in 2011 reveals some issues to be re-considered and/or improved in the PSA such as the limited scope of the PSA, site risk, etc. KAERI (Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute) has performed researches on the development of an integrated risk assessment framework related to some issues arisen after the Fukushima accident. This framework can cover the internal PSA model and external PSA models (fire, flooding, and seismic PSA models) in the full power and the low power-shutdown modes. This framework also integrates level 1, 2 and 3 PSA to quantify the risk of nuclear facilities more efficiently and consistently. We expect that this framework will be helpful to resolve the issue regarding the limited scope of PSA and to reduce some inconsistencies that might exist between (1) the internal and external PSA, and (2) full power mode PSA and low power-shutdown PSA models. In addition, KAERI is starting researches related to the extreme external events, the risk assessment of spent fuel pool, and the site risk. These emerging issues will be incorporated into the integrated risk assessment framework. In this paper the integrated risk assessment framework and the research activities on the emerging issues are outlined.

The fire event occurred in fire proof zone often causes serious electrical problems such as shorts, ground faults, or open circuits in nuclear power plants. These would be directed to the loss of safe shutdown capabilities performed by safety related systems and equipments The fire event can treat the basic design principle that safety systems should keep their functions with redundancy and independency. In case of a cable fire, operators can not perform their mission properly and can misjudge the situation because of spurious operation, wrong indication or instrument. These would deteriorate the plant capabilities of safety shutdown and make disastrous conditions. In this paper, the cables of the representative nuclear power plant in korea is selected and the cable functional failure temperature by exposed fire using Cable Response to Live Fire(CAROLFIRE) is studied. It is expected that the results are very useful to know the cable failure temperature by exposed fire. We confirmed the safety and integrity of the cable by exposed fire and those results will use the based data of cable exposed fire characteristics.

A present study addresses a loss-of-RHR event as an initiating event under specific low power or shutdown conditions. Two typical plant configurations, cold leg opening case with water-filled steam generators and pressurizer opening case with emptied steam generators, were evaluated using the RELAP5/ MOD3.2 code. The calculation was compared with the experiment conducted at ROSA-IV/LSTF in Japan. As a result, the code was capable of simulating the system transient behavior following the event. Especially, thermal hydraulic transport processes including non-condensable gas behavior were reasonably predicted with an appropriate time step and CPU time. However, there were some code deficiencies such as too large system mass errors and severe flow oscillations in core region.
