By introducing the concept of overpressurization of rim pores due to dislocation punching, the total pressure exerted on the rim pores is estimated. Then this concept is combined with the assumption that all the fission gases produced in the rim region are retained in the rim region to calculate the rim porosity. Rim porosities calculated in this way are compared with measured data, which produces reasonable agreement. Finally a correlation for the thermal conductivity of the rim region is obtained using the hypothesis that the rim region consists of pores and fully dense material of UO$_2$.

레이저의 종축방향으로 회절격자층을 형성하는 위쪽 클래딩 층의 가운데 부분의 굴절률을 양 옆부분과 다르게 하여 유효위상천이 효과를 넓은 영역에서 얻는 refractive index midulated (RIM) DFB 레이저를 제안한다.RIM-DFB 레이저는 SHB 효과를 줄이기 위하여 기존에 제안되었던 회절격자의 주기를 변화시켜 넓은 영역에 걸쳐서 유효 위상 천이를 주는 corrugation pitch modualtion (CPM) 방법과 레이저의 종축 방향으로 결합계수를 달리하여 주는 distributed coupling coefficients (DCC) 방법의 효과를 동시에 얻을 수 있는 실현 가능한 구조이다. 급격한 위상천이가 없기 때문에 광자밀도분포가 균일해져 SHB 효과가 줄어 들게 되며 레이저 공진기 가운데 부분의 결합계수가 양 옆 부분의 결합계수보다 커서 분포결합계수의 효과를 주기 때문에λ/4 위상천이 레이저와 CPM-DFB 레이저에 비해 고출력에서 좋은 단일 모드 특성을 보인다. 그리고, 굴절률이 다른 가운데 부분의 길이가 RIM-DFB 레이저의 동작특성에 미치는 영향에 대하여 연구하였다.

A thermal conductivity correlation has been proposed which can be applied to high turnup fuel by considering both of thermal conductivity with turnup across fuel pellet and additional degradation at pellet rim due to very high porosity. In addition, a correlation has been developed that can estimate the porosity of rim region as a function of rim burnup under the assumptions that all the produced fission gases are retained in the in porosity and threshold pellet average burnup required for the formation of rim region is 40 MWD/㎏U. Rim width is correlated to rim burnup using measured data. For the RISO experimental data obtained at pellet average turnup of 43.5 MWD/㎏U for three linear heat generation rates of 30, 35 and 40 ㎾/m, radial temperature distributions ore calculated using the present correlation and compared with the measured ones. This comparison shows that the present correlation gives the best agreement with the measured data when it is combined with the HALDEN's correlation for thermal conductivity considering its degradation with burnup. Another comparison with the HALDEN's measured fuel centerline temperature as a function of burnup at 25 ㎾/m up to about 44 MWD/㎾U also suggest that the present correlation yields the best agreement when it is combined with the HALDEN's thermal conductivity.

Threshold porosity above which fission gas release channels would be formed in the rim egion of high burnup UO$_2$ fuel was estimated by the Monte Carlo method and Hoshen-Kopelman algorithm. With the assumption that both rim pore and rim grain can be represented by cube, pore distribution in the rim was simulated 3-dimensionally by the Monte Carlo method according to porosity and pore size distribution. Then, using the Hoshen-Kopelman algorithm, the fraction of open rim pores interlinked to the outer surface of a fuel pellet was derived as a function of rim porosity. The simulation showed that porosity of 24-25% is the threshold above which the number of rim pores forming release channels increases very rapidly. On the other hand, channels would not be formed if the porosity is less than about 23.5%. This is consistent with the observation that, for porosity less than 23.5%, almost no fission gas is released in the rim. However, once the rim porosity reaches beyond 25%, extensive open paths would be developed and considerable fission gas release would start in the rim.

In modem power reactors, nuclear fuels have recently reached 55,000 MWd/MtU from the initial average burnup of 35,000 MWd/MtU to reduce the fuel cycle cost and waste volume. At such high burnups, a fuel pellet produces fission products proportional to the burnup and creates a typical high burnup structure around the periphery region of the pellet, producing the so called 'rim effect'. This rim region of a highly burnt fuel is known to be ca. $200\;{\mu}m$ in width and is known to affect the fuel integrity. To characterize the local burnup in the rim region, solid sampling in the micro meter region by laser ablation is needed so that the distribution of isotopes can be determined by ICP-MS. For this procedure, special radiation shielding is required for personnel safety. In this study, we installed a radiation shielded laser ablation ICP-MS system, and a performance test of the developed system was conducted to evaluate the safe operation of instruments.

Applicability of the threshold burnup for rim formation was investigated as a function of temperature by Rest's model. The threshold burnup was the lowest in the intermediate temperature region, while on the other temperature regions the threshold burnup is higher. The rim porosity was predicted by the van der Waals equation based of the rim pore radius of 0.75${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ and the overpressurization model on rim pores. The calculated centerline temperature is in good agreement with the measured temperature. However, more efforts seem to be necessary for the mechanistic model of the rim effect including rim growth with the fuel burnup.

The detachment stability characteristics of syngas $H_2$/CO jet attached flames were studied. The flame stability was observed while varying the syngas fuel composition, coaxial nozzle diameter and fuel nozzle rim thickness. The detachment stability limit of the syngas single jet flame was found to decrease with increasing mole fraction of carbon monoxide in the fuel. In hydrogen jet flames with coaxial air, the flame detachment stability was found to be independent of the coaxial nozzle diameter. However, velocities of appearance of liftoff and blowout velocities of lifted flames have dependence. At lower fuel velocity range, the critical coaxial air velocity leading to flame detachment increases with increasing fuel jet velocity, whereas at higher fuel velocity range, it decreases. This increasing-decreasing non-monotonic trend appears for all $H_2$/CO syngas compositions (50/50~100/0% $H_2$/CO). To qualitatively understand the flame behavior near the nozzle rim, $OH^*$ chemiluminescence imaging was performed near the detachment limit conditions. For all fuel compositions, local extinction on the rim is observed at lower fuel velocities(increasing stability region), while local flame extinction downstream of the rim is observed at higher fuel velocities(decreasing stability region). Maximum values of the non-monotonic trends appear to be identical when the fuel jet velocity is normalized by the critical fuel velocity obtained in the single jet cases.

A study for the flame stability and the combustion characteristics of coaxial diffusion flame was conducted. The fuel employed was natural gas. The experimental variables were rim thickness of fuel tube, blockage ratio of the outer diameter of fuel tube to the inner diameter of air tube, and momentum ratio of fuel to air. It was consequently found that the stability in the neighborhood of the fuel rim depended on the rim thickness, especially in the case of above 3 mm, and that the stable region of the flame extended remarkably due to the formation of recirculation zone above rim. The effect of the blockage ratio on the flame stability was found to be minor in the case of above 3 mm of rim thickness. Between the momentum ratio 2 and 3, the stable flame zone was widely established as well good combustion. With increasing the fuel-air momentum ratio, axial velocity, turbulence intensity, and Reynolds stress increased.

본고는 지금까지 조사된 강원지역의 점토대토기 출토 유적의 양상을 바탕으로 그 상한연대 및 전개과정과 성격을 고찰하였다. 이를 위해 그동안 발굴조사된 유적을 중심으로 입지와 분포, 유구의 규모와 구조, 그리고 출토 유물의 양상을 분석하였다. 강원지역 점토대토기 출토 유적의 양상을 살펴보면 영서지역과 영동지역 간에는 입지 및 유구의 규모와 구조는 차이가 없으나, 점토대토기의 형태 등 출토 유물의 양상에 다소 차이가 있다. 필자는 유구와 유물의 양상에 대한 분석을 바탕으로 강원지역의 점토대토기문화는 영서에서 영동지역으로의 단선적인 전파가 아니라 여러 전파경로를 통해 유입되었을 가능성을 제시하였다. 그리고 유적의 탄소 연대 측정결과를 검토해 보았을 때, 점토대토기문화의 상한연대를 기원전 4세기 후반에서 2세기 전반으로 보고 있는 기존의 연구 결과보다 시기가 앞서고 있으며, 지석묘의 하부구조에서 확인되는 사례도 있어 강원지역의 점토대토기문화는 이전의 지석묘를 축조하던 무문토기문화와 일정 기간동안 병존하였던 것으로 보인다.

Bright rims are one of the most unknown part of a filament nowadays. Many models tried to explain the environments, but there is no commonly acceptable model. Many survey observations have been performed to find various characteristics of the bright rim statistically, but there was only one spectroscopic observation to understand phenomena of the bright rim. We observed a bright rim on June 25, 2010 using FISS installed in NST, Big Bear Solar observatory. FISS can obtain a couple of wavebands data simultaneously with short time cadence and fine resolution(~ 0.1", expected) with Adaptive Optics. By applying the cloud model, we found source function, optical thickness, temperature and non-thermal velocity of the region from the spectra of Ha and CaII 8542 lines. We discuss the physical implication of these measurements on the nature of bright rims of filaments.
