Licenses for the storage of spent nuclear fuel (SNF) and vitrified highly active waste in casks under dry conditions are limited to 40 years and have to be renewed for prolonged storage periods. If such a license renewal has to be expected since as in accordance with the new site selection procedure a final repository for spent fuel in Germany will not be available before the year 2050. For transport and possible unloading and loading in new casks for final storage, the integrity and the maintenance of the geometry of the cask's inventory is essential because the SNF rod cladding and the cladding of the vitrified highly active waste are stipulated as a barrier in the storage concept. For SNF, the cladding integrity is ensured currently by limiting the hoop stress and hoop strain as well as the maximum temperature to certain values for a 40-year storage period. For a prolonged storage period, other cladding degradation mechanisms such as inner and outer oxide layer formation, hydrogen pick up, irradiation damages in cladding material crystal structure, helium production from alpha decay, and long-term fission gas release may become leading effects driving degradation mechanisms that have to be discussed.

Elimination of residual captan during the storage and cooking process was investigated. The concentration of residual captan after sticking and drying fo captan on spinach was 2.938ppm. During storage of 5, 10, 15 and 20 days at 15$^{\circ}C$, the amount of residual captan decreased to 73.18, 80.80, 89.99 and 98.40% of the initial amount, respectively. When spinach was stored at 3$^{\circ}C$, the concentration of residual captan decreased to 58.20, 61.37, 72.84 and 76.31% and the storage was carried out at -17$^{\circ}C$, residual captan amount decreased to 7.18, 22.67, 34.58 and 40.91% of the initial amout, respectively according to the storage period. In the case of the residual captan of seasoned spinach, the storage of 2, 24 and 48 hours at 15$^{\circ}C$, the amout of residual captan decreased to 0.772(39.69%), 0.661(77.50%) and 0.063ppm(97.86%) of the initial amount, respectively. When spinach was stored at 3$^{\circ}C$, the amount of residual captan decreased to 2.344 (20.22%), 1.021(65.25%) and 0.329ppm(88.80%) and the storage was carried out at -17$^{\circ}C$, residual captan amount decreased to 2.428(17.36%), 1.520(48.26%) and 0.726ppm(75.29%) of the initial amount, respectively according to the storage period. In the case of the residual captan of spinach cooked with edible oil for 2, 4 and 6 minutes and then cooking oil was discarded, each decreasing rate of the captan sticked to thespinach was 96.29, 97.86 and 99.18%, respectively. The rate of removed the captan sticked to the spinach with oil was 73.32, 86.32 and 87.13%, respectively. From these results, the storage in room temperature and the addition of seasoning to the spinach could lead to decrease in the concentration of the residual captan, furthemore the cooking could inhance decreasing of residual captan.

The purpose of this study was to examine the antioxidant activity and quality characteristics of mayonnaise with varied amounts of yuzu juice added during the storage period. The viscosities of the yuzu juice groups were significantly higher than that of the control group (p<0.05). In terms of color, the L values of the yuzu juice groups were lower than that of the control group, and these L values significantly decreased during the storage period (p<0.05). In the meantime, the a values of the Y-75 and Y-100 groups significantly increased during the storage period (p<0.05). The DPPH free-radical scavenging activities of all the groups decreased during the storage period while the yuzu juice groups demonstrated higher DPPH free-radical scavenging activities compared to the control group (p<0.05). With an increment in the added amount of yuzu juice lower have been the acid values and peroxide values of yuzu juice groups than that of the control group even though they have been increased with the course of storage period (p<0.05). Based on these results, it can be concluded that yuzu juice added to the mayonnaise may be useful for improving its quality and storage stability.

In order to control or kill insects and pests, control ripening, and delay spoilage, kiwifruits were irradiated with gamma rays at 0.1, 0.3, and 0.5 kGy. Vitamin C, hydrogen donating activity, sugar content, organic acid content, texture, chromaticity, and sensory qualities were examined in the fruits over 2 weeks of storage at 20$^{\circ}C$. Vitamin C content and hydrogen donating activity decreased during the storage period, but they were not reduced by the irradiation process. Total sugar and reducing sugar contents increased as the storage period increased; however, these were also unaffected by irradiation. Organic acid content significantly decreased as a result of irradiation, and all samples had decreases in organic acids over the storage period. Hardness decreased with the storage period as well as with increasing doses of irradiation. In terms of Hunter's color values, irradiation increased the $L^*-\;and\;a^*-$ values in the initial storage period, but it did not have any significant effect on these values during the 2 weeks of storage. When compared with control samples, the irradiated samples had lower color and overall acceptability scores just after irradiation (week 0). However, during the storage period, the irradiated samples had higher scores for smell, taste, texture, and overall acceptability than the control. In conclusion, based on the results, gamma irradiation up to 0.5 kGy is the recommended treatment to maintain the overall quality attributes kiwifruit.

This study examined the effects of additives on the physicochemical properties of gruels during storage. The color, a-value, and b-value of fine-nut, dried pollack, soybean, and chicken gruels increased, while the L-value and whiteness decreased. In addition, the a-value, b-value, and L-value of oyster mushroom gruel decreased upon increase in the storage period. Texture analyzer measurements of gruels revealed that the gumminess, cohesiveness, adhesiveness, and hardness decreased during the storage period of 90 days. The amylose and total sugar contents were also decreased during this storage period. Majority of the fatty acid composition of the gruels during the storage period at 25℃ was due to unsaturated fatty acid. The total unsaturated fatty acid content decreased, whereas saturated fatty acid content increased during the storage period of 45 days.

This study investigated the effects of storage period on the quality-realted characteristics of milled rice. Milled rice of two rice varieties (Nampyeongbyeo, Dongjinbyeo) produced in different years (2005, 2006 and 2009) were used for experiment. The toyo meter value of both rice varieties was decreased with extended storage period. But fat acidity of both rice groups was increased with extended storage period. When the samples were compared by production year, the hardness of the rice produced in 2009 was higher than those produced in 2005 and 2006. As storage period was prolonged, the L, a, and b values of chromaticity were increased and there was decreased preference in palatability of cooked rice. So, as storage period was longer, rice quality and eating quality deteriorated seriously.

Ginseng-whey beverages were prepared with rennet whey, ginseng, sweetener, honey and Japanese apricot, inoculated with different strains of lactic acid bacteria or unfermented partly. The samples were stored at 4$^{\circ}C$ or 30$\pm$1$0^{\circ}C$ and then physicochemical and microbiological properties were investigated. The yield of whey was 78.8%. The pH-values reduced and acidities increased during the storage period. The contents of solid-substances, ash and lipid in ginseng-whey beverages were 7.90~8.20%, 0.62~0.66% and 0.16%, respectively. The protein contents of ginseng-whey beverages were 0.42~0.56% and the contents were not changed during the storage period. The lactose contents of fermented beverages were higher than those of unfermented beverages. During the storage period (1~5 weeks), the ranges of D(-) - and L(+)- lactic acid contents in fermented ginseng-whey beverages (17.3~156.1 mg/100g, 347.3~1894.2mg/100g) were higher than those of unfermented ginseng-whey beverages (6.2~82.8mg/100g, 7.1~885.5mg/100g). The contents of total saponin in unfermented sample and fermented sample (Lac. casei sub-sp. casei+Str. salivarius sub-sp. thermophilus) were increased during the storage period. But, those of the fermented sample(Lac. acidophilus+Lac. delbrueckii sub-sp. bulgaricus) were reduced. In the electrophoretic results of ginseng-whey beverages, an $\alpha$-lactalbumin and a $\beta$-lactoglobulin bands were shown apparently and there were no changes observed during the storage period. During the storage period (1~3 week) the coliform was not detected and total plate counts and psychrotrophs were increased according to the storage period.

The effects of storage form (paddy and milled rice) and storage period (1, 2, and 3 years) of rice at low temperature $(4^{\circ}C)$ on physicochemical properties of milled and cooked rice and sensory characteristics of cooked rice were investigated. The proximate compositions except moisture content of rice decreased as the storage period increased. Water binding capacity, solubility and swelling power of rice flour decreased with the extended storage period. In the amylogram, the initial pasting temperature, paste viscosity and breakdown of paddy rice flour slurry decreased after 2 years of storage. Moisture content of cooked rice increased while the amount of water evaporated during cooking decreased. These trends were obvious with the longer storage period. Lightness and yellowness of cooked rice were greatly changed after 3 years of storage, regardless of storage form. Texture profile analysis of cooked rice by Texture Analyzer revealed that hardness, fracturability, gumminess were gradually increased while adhesiveness decreased as the storage period of rice increased. A trained panel found that color intensity, intactness of grains, rancid flavor, rice bran flavor, wet cardboard flavor, hardness and chewiness of cooked rice increased with the longer storage period. However, glossiness, transparency, plumpness, puffed corn flavor, dairy flavor, boiled egg white flavor, sweet taste, adhesiveness to lips, smoothness and inner moisture decreased with the extended storage period up to 3 years. Instrumental hardness was highly correlated with sensory hardness.
