원전 가동전/가동중검사 결과의 신뢰도(reliability)는 원전 배관기기의 건전성에 직결되는 것으로써 결함 발견 시 적용되는 파괴역학해석(FMA)은 비파괴검사 결과에 대한 100%의 신뢰를 전제하고 있다. 그러나 비파괴검사가 어느 정도 신뢰성을 가지고 있는지에 대한 평가가 국내에서는 거의 수행된 바가 없었다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 원전의 비파괴검사 규제 요건의 기술적 근거를 확보하고, 원전 기기 건전성 평가 및 안전성 향상을 위한 합리적 규제지침을 수립하기 위하여 국내 원전 가동중검사(ISI)에 적용되거나 일반 산업계에 적용되고 있는 초음파탐상검사에 대하여 기량검증 Round Robin Test에 의한 통계적 신뢰도를 평가하고자 한다. 이를 위해 초음파검사 PD-RRT 결과의 통계적 신뢰도 평가 모델을 고찰하고, 결함검출성능 평가, 결함크기 측정 평가, 팀 오차 분석 등 초음파검사 PD-RRT 결과의 통계적 신뢰도를 평가하였다.

The performance demonstration round robin test was conducted to quantify the capability of ultrasonic inspection for in-service and to address some aspects of reliability for nondestructive evaluation. The fifteen inspection teams who employed procedures that met or exceeded ASME Sec. XI code requirements detected the piping of nuclear power plant with various cracks to evaluate the capability of detection. With data from PD-RR test, the performance of ultrasonic nondestructive inspection could be assessed using probability of length and depth sizing of cracks.

The dynamic characterization of a three-story auxiliary building in a nuclear power plant (NPP) constructed with a monolithic reinforced concrete shear wall is investigated in this study. The shear wall is subjected to a joint-research, round-robin analysis organized by the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute, South Korea, to predict seismic responses of that auxiliary building in NPP through a shake table test. Five different intensity measures of the base excitation are applied to the shaking table test to get the acceleration responses from the different building locations for one horizontal direction (front-back). Simultaneously to understand the global damage scenario of the structure, a frequency search test is conducted after each excitation. The primary motivation of this study is to develop a nonlinear numerical model considering the multi-layered shell element and compare it with the test result to validate through the modal parameter identification and floor responses. In addition, the acceleration amplification factor is evaluated to judge the dynamic behavior of the shear wall with the existing standard, thus providing theoretical support for engineering practice.

A method is proposed for scheduling sensor accesses to the shared network in a networked control system. The proposed method determines the access order in which the sensors are granted medium access through minimization of the state estimation error covariance. Solving the problem by evaluating the error covariance for each possible ordered set of sensors is not practical for large systems. Therefore, a convex optimization problem is proposed, which yields approximate yet acceptable results. A state estimator is designed for the augmented system resulting from the incorporation of the optimally chosen communication sequence in the plant dynamics. A car suspension system simulation is conducted to test the proposed method. The results show promising improvement in the state estimation performance by reducing the estimation error norm compared to round-robin scheduling.

Ultrasonic inspection system is consisted of the operator, equipment and procedure. The reliability of results in ultrasonic inspection is affected by its ability. Furthermore, the reliability of nondestructive testing is influenced by the inspection environment, other materials and types of defect. Therefore, it is very difficult to estimate the reliability of NDT due to various factors. In this study, the probability of detection, used logistic probability model and Monte Carlo simulation, estimated the reliability of ultrasonic inspection. The utility of the NDT reliability assesment is verified by the analysis of the data from round robin test applied these models.

2006 CISPR 총회가 스웨덴 스톡홀름 KISTA에서 개최되었다. CISPR I 회의는 9월 18일부터 20일까지 3일간 WG2 및 WG4를 중심으로 진행되었으며, WG1과 WG3 회의는 9월 20일 오후에 있었다. 우리나라에서는 WG1에 두 가지 제안을 발표하였다. 하나는 2004년 중국 상해 회의에서 처음 제안하여 2005년 남아공 케이프타운 회의에서 Task Force가 구성된 대형 시험품에 대한 CISPR 20의 외부 방사내성 시험레벨에 관한 것이다. 2006년 1월 미국 산타페에서 열린 TF 회의에서 시험결과에 대한 기술적 토론이 있었으며, Round Robin Test(RRT)를 실시하기로 결정되었다. RRT시험은 7월 중순에 실시되었으며, 참여한 시험소는 영국의 SONY, 네덜란드의 Philips, 독일의 SHARP 이었으며, 국내의 여러 EMC 시험소도 추후에 참여하였다. RRT 시험의 결과 및 분석이 이번 스톡홀름 회의에서 발표되었다. 또한, CISPR 13의 방사성 방출(RE)의 측정거리 기준점의 변경에 관한 것이다. 본 고에서는 TV 수신기에 대한 RRT 시험결과 및 분석에 대한 발표 내용을 소개하고자 한다. CISPR 20의 외부 전자기장 내성 시험은 0.8 m인 개방형 스트립라인(Open Strip-line: OSL)내에 시험품을 설치하고 $150kHz{\sim}150MHz$에서 시험하도록 규정하고 있다. OSL에 설치할 수 없는 대형기기는 IEC 61000-4-3에 따라서 주파수 범위 $80MHz{\sim}150MHz$까지 동일한 한계치로 전자파무반사실에서 시험하도록 규정되어 있다. 이에 대해 국내 제조업체 및 EMC 전문가들로 구성된 CISPR I 국내 위원회에서는 IEC 61000-4-3에 의한 전자파무반사실(챔버)에서의 내성시험이 CISPR 20에 의한 OSL에서의 내성시험보다 가혹하다는 문제 제기가 있었다. 이것이 본 안건에 대한 배경이다 지금까지 진행되어 왔던 내용을 요약해 보면 2004년 상해 회의에서, 수치해석 및 측정비교를 통하여 CISPR 20에서 규정하고 있는 OSL 전기장 교정방법의 개선의 필요성과 OSL에서 시험할 수 없는 대형 시험품에 대하여 시험레벨을 조정할 것을 지적하였다. 2005년 케이프타운 회의에서는 실제적으로 TV 방송 수신기 및 관련기기가 두가지 방법으로 시험되었을 때 시험결과에 미치는 영향을 시험품의 전기장 내성 레벨로 비교하였으며, 전자파무반사실에서 시험할 경우 시험레벨이 12 dB 낮추도록 보정되어야 할 것을 제안하였다. 2006년 이번 회의에서는 세계 각국의 시험소와 비교시험을 통하여 나타난 OSL과 전자파무반사실 간의 시험결과의 차이 및 이에 대한 원인을 분석하여 보고하였다. OSL과 전자파무반사실 비교시험에서 나타난 차이는 평균적으로 9 dB의 차이로 나타났으며, 주요 원인은 OSL에서 적용하고 있는 시험품을 OSL내부에 설치한 후 시험품에 의해 변경된 전기장의 세기를 보정해 주는 인자(k2)로 인한 차이(6 dB)와 OSL 내부의 전기장의 세기와 전자파무반사실 균일장 영역의 전기장의 세기의 차이(3 dB)이다.

Pipe wall thinning by flow-accelerated corrosion and various types of erosion is a significant and costly damage phenomenon in secondary piping systems of nuclear power plants (NPPs). Most NPPs have management programs to ensure pipe integrity due to wall thinning that includes periodic measurements for pipe wall thicknesses using nondestructive evaluation techniques. Numerous measurements using ultrasonic tests (UTs; one of the nondestructive evaluation technologies) have been performed during scheduled outages in NPPs. Using the thickness measurement data, wall thinning rates of each component are determined conservatively according to several evaluation methods developed by the United States Electric Power Research Institute. However, little is known about the conservativeness or reliability of the evaluation methods because of a lack of understanding of the measurement error. In this study, quantitative models for UT thickness measurement deviations of nuclear pipes and fittings were developed as the first step for establishing an optimized thinning evaluation procedure considering measurement error. In order to understand the characteristics of UT thickness measurement errors of nuclear pipes and fittings, round robin test results, which were obtained by previous researchers under laboratory conditions, were analyzed. Then, based on a large dataset of actual plant data from four NPPs, a quantitative model for UT thickness measurement deviation is proposed for plant conditions.

This study focuses on an understanding of the environmental effect on delayed hydride cracking velocity (DHCV) of CANDU Zr-2.5Nb tubes. To simulate DHC susceptibility of the Zr-2.5Nb tubes in reactor operating conditions, DHC tests were successfully carried out in pressurized water at 180 and $250^{\circ}C$ using a self-designed autoclave for the first time. Using 17 mm compact tension specimens electorlytically charged to 34 and 60 ppm H, 3 to 7 DHCV data were determined in water at both temperatures and compared to those determined in air that were already confirmed to be valid through a round robin test on DHCV of Zr-2.5Nb tubes sponsored by a IAEA coordinated research program. The pressurized water environment has little effect on DHCV of Zr-2.5Nb tube in water at both temperatures even though DHCV is slightly lower in water than that in air. The lower DHCV of the Zr-2.5Nb tube during short-term tests is discussed in viewpoint of the cooling rate from the peak temperature to the test temperature.

This study verified numerical analysis of the liquefaction phenomenon using LEAP-2017 international round-robin centrifuge test results. Dynamic centrifuge test is performed by applying a 1 Hz tapered sine wave to the model soil deposit, which was formed under a water table in a surface slope of 5° using Ottawa F-65 sand. A numerical model was made on a prototype scale and analyzed using the finite difference method in 2D and 3D conditions. The analyses were verified for acceleration and pore-water pressure histories with depth and residual displacement. Verification results revealed that all numerical liquefaction models agree reasonably with the test result for acceleration histories but not for pre-water pressure histories. Numerical analyses showed much smaller residual displacement than the centrifuge test. Thus, it is necessary to compare the results of numerical analysis with the centrifuge test performed by other institutes in the future.
