This paper deals with the seismic qualification of the reflective metal insulation for thermal shielding that is installed on the outer surfaces of the main equipment of the primary coolant system of a nuclear power plant. A small-scale model of the reactor pressure vessel, which has equivalent dynamic characteristics, was designed to be tested in domestic seismic testing facilities in the future. In this study, seismic analysis of the small-scale model installed with metal insulation was performed using equivalent static analysis and response spectrum analysis. The required Response Spectrum for main equipment of the primary coolant system of APR-1400 plant were considered to establish the enveloping response spectrum, which was applied to the seismic analysis model. The results from two seismic analysis methods were compared to show the structural adequacy of the metal insulator design against a safe shutdown earthquake. This study will form the basis for the seismic testing to support the seismic qualification of the reflective metal insulator.

This experimental research as media effect study explores the effect of the current documentary that deals with radioactive contamination widely spread by fukushima nuclear accident on political and social recognition of domestic audience. Proceeding studies about media effect dealt mainly with news contents of TV, newspaper and internet. However studies on the effect of current documentary as non news contents on audience that provide us with profound information by various subjects are very few. Especially it is difficult to find studies about disaster documentary dealing with radioactive contamination having much effect on global environment. Accordingly this research implemented experimental study to find out the effect of current documentary that deals with radioactive contamination by fukushima nuclear accident on political and social recognition of audience. This research found that subjects exposed to the current documentary considered outdated nuclear power plant more seriously, supporting the opposition party more positively, claiming shutdown of outdated nuclear power plant, and opposing additive construction of nuclear power plant than subjects not exposed to the current documentary.

Photon, neutron and beta radiation fields were measured at PWR plants which are the representative types of nuclear power plant operated in Korea. The photon energy spectra were measured at locations in the auxiliary building during operation period and in the containment vessel(C/V) during shutdown period using a portable gamma spectrometer with a HPGe detector. The distribution of average energy was found to range from 440 to 780 keV in the C/V and from 280 keV to 760 keV in the auxiliary building, respectively. The average neutron energy measured at the five locations around the operation deck in the C/V in operation using a BMSS (Bonner Multi-Sphere Spectrometer) ranged from 20 keV to 210 keV. A computer code, BUNKI was used to unfold the spectrum. The beta energy spectra in the C/V and in the auxiliary building in annual outage were determined using 14 smear samples taken from the highly contaminated areas. The analysis showed that the representative corrosion product, $^{60}Co$ made main contribution to the beta energy field.

In accordance with the decommissioning plan for the Kori Unit 1 NPP, the reactor coolant system will be chemically decontaminated as soon as possible after permanent shutdown. This study developed the chemical decontamination process though the development project of decontamination technology of reactor coolant system and dismantled equipment for NPP decommissioning, which has been carried out since 2014. In this study, Oxidation/reduction process was conducted using system decontamination process development equipment of lab scale and was divided into unit and continuous processes. The optimal process time was derived from the unit process, and decontamination agent and the number of process were derived through the continuous processes. Through the unit process, the oxidation process took 5 hours and the reduction process took 4 hours. As optimum decontamination agent, the oxidizing agent was $200mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ Permanganic acid + $200mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ Nitric acid and the reducing agent was $2000mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$ Oxalic acid. In the case of the number of processes, all oxide films were removed during the two-cycle chemical decontamination process of STS304 and SA508. In the case of Alloy600, all oxide films were removed when chemical decontamination was performed for three cycles or more.

Windows Event Log is a format that records system log in Windows operating system and methodically manages information about system operation. An event can be caused by system itself or by user's specific actions, and some event logs can be used for corporate security audits, malware detection and so on. In this paper, we choose actions related to corporate security audit and malware detection (External storage connection, Application install, Shared folder usage, Printer usage, Remote connection/disconnection, File/Registry manipulation, Process creation, DNS query, Windows service, PC startup/shutdown, Log on/off, Power saving mode, Network connection/disconnection, Event log deletion and System time change), which can be detected through event log analysis and classify event IDs that occur in each situation. Also, the existing event log tools only include functions related to the EVTX file parse and it is difficult to track user's behavior when used in a forensic investigation. So we implemented new analysis tool in this study which parses EVTX files and user behaviors.

Fault tree analysis is the most widely used saftly analysis technique in industry. However, the analysis is often applied manually, and there is no systematic and automated approach available to validate the analysis result. In this paper, we demonstrate that a real-time model checker UPPAAL is useful in formally specifying the required behavior of safety-critical software and to validate the accuracy of manually constructed fault trees. Functional requirements for emergency shutdown software for a nuclear power plant, named Wolsung SDS2, are used as an example. Fault trees were initially developed by a group of graduate students who possess detailed knowledge of Wolsung SDS2 and are familiar with safety analysis techniques including fault tree analysis. Functional requirements were manually translated in timed automata format accepted by UPPAAL, and the model checking was applied using property specifications to evaluate the correctness of the fault trees. Our application demonstrated that UPPAAL was able to detect subtle flaws or ambiguities present in fault trees. Therefore, we conclude that the proposed approach is useful in augmenting fault tree analysis.

FTL(Fuel Test Loop) is a facility that confirms performance of nuclear fuel at a similar irradiation condition with that of nuclear power plant. FTL consists of In-Pile Test Section (IPS) and Out-Pile System (OPS). FTL construction work began on August, 2006 and ended on March, 2007. During Construction, ensuring the worker's safety was the top priority and installation of the FTL without hampering the integrity of the HANARO was the next one. Task Force Team was organized to do a construction systematically and the communication between members of the task force team was done through the CoP(community of Practice) notice board provided by the Institute. The installation works were done successfully overcoming the difficulties such as on the limited space, on the radiation hazard inside the reactor pool, and finally on the shortening of the shut down period of the HANARO. Without a sweet of the workers of the participating company of HEC(Hyundae Engineering Co, Ltd), HDEC(HyunDai Engineering & Construction Co. Ltd), equipment manufacturer, and the task force team, it is not possible to install the FTL facility within the planned shutdown period. The Commissioning of the FTL is on due to check the function and the performance of the equipment and the overall system as well. The FTL shall start operation with high burn up test fuels in early 2008 if the commissioning and licensing progress on schedule.

Mobile communication devices such as PDAs, cellular phones, etc., need to perform several kinds of computation-intensive functions including H.264 encoding/decoding and 3D graphics processing. In this paper, new reconfigurable architecture is described, which can perform either motion estimation for H.264 or rendering for 3D graphics. The proposed motion estimation techniques use new efficient SAD computation ordering, DAU, and FDVS algorithms. The new approach can reduce the computation by 70% on the average than that of JM 8.2, without affecting the quality. In 3D rendering, midline traversal algorithm is used for parallel processing to increase throughput. Memories are partitioned into 8 blocks so that 2.4Mbits (47%) of memory is shared and selective power shutdown is possible during motion estimation and 3D graphics rendering. Processing elements are also shared to further reduce the chip area by 7%.

Recently, severe wear on the shutdown rod cladding of Ulchin Nuclear Power Plant #1, #2 were observed by the Eddy Current Test(E.C.T.). In particular, the wear at the sixth card location was up to 75%. The test results indicated that the Flow Induced Vibration(F.I.V.) might be the cause of the fretting wear resulting from the contact between Rod Cluster Control Assemblies(RCCAs) and their spacing cards(guide plates) arranged in the guide tube. From reviewing RCCAs fretting wear repots and analyzing the general characteristics of F.I.V. mechanism in the reactor, geometric layout and flow conditions around the control rod, it is concluded that the turbulence excitation is the most probable vibration mechanism of RCCA. To identify the governing mechanism of RCCA vibration, an experiment was performed for a representative rod position in which the most serious fretting wear experienced among the six rod positions. The experimental rig was designed and set up to satisfy the governing nondimensional numbers which are Reynolds number and mass damping parameter. The vibration amplitude measurement by the non-contact laser displacement sensor showed good agreements in the frequency and the maximum wearing(vibration) location with Ulchin E.C.T. results and Framatome report, respectively. The sudden increase in the vibration amplitude was sensed around the 6th guide plate with mass flow rate variation. Comparing the similitude rod behaviour with the idealized response of a cylinder in flow induced vibration, it was found that he dominant mechanism of vibration was transferred from turbulence excitation to periodic shedding at the mass flow ate 90ι/min. Also the critical velocity of the vibration in RCCAs was determined and the vibration can be prevented by reducing the bypass flow rate below the critical velocity.
