  • Sensitivity analysis by TSUNAMI clarifies the complex effects of key nuclides on the criticality probability quantitatively. As discussed above, the $K_{eff}$ of $UO_2$ fuel reaches the maximum value with 42w% concentration of intrusion water. The concentration of hydrogen affects the complexity of reaching criticality by its competition between the concentrations of $^{235}U$. Approximately if the weight percent of $H_2O$ in the mixture is less than 42%, the moderation effect of hydrogen surpasses its dilution effect on $^{235}U$. However, the importance of $^{235}U$ increases dramatically when the weight percent of water is bigger than 42%. In the sensitivity evaluation of $UO_2$ fuel employing TSUMAMI, there is a similar crosspoint of the sensitivity of $^{235}U$ and the sensitivity of $^1H$ where the criticality reaches summit. And the optimal water weight percent is determined to be 50%.

  • In order to apply UTM coordinates conversion in zones larger than $14^{\circ}$ wide, a new conversion formula, based on the 12th expansion of Taylor series, is derived which is shown to be an extension of Thomas' formula(1952). Some examples of coordinate conversion between WGS84 and UTM are presented and convergences of computational results are also tested according to the order of formula. The present conversion formula can be used to make rectangular coordinate grid systems for numerical models to compute long wave propagation such as tide or tsunami around Korea.

At this point, preparation to earthquake and the point of quickly communication by happened earthquake. For this reason perceptible observation post are making so quickly communication system to zone by effective range of earthquake, and develope than more quality observation tool, contribute to keep citizens property and life to a minimum by earthquake damaged.

  • After Japanese Fukushima nuclear power plant accident caused by the beyond design basis earthquake and tsunami, it has turned to be a major challenge for nuclear safety. IAEA, US NRC and EU have provided new safety design standards for beyond design basis event, Domestic regulatory bodies have also enacted guidances for licensees and applicants on additional methods related to beyond design basis events. This paper describes several evaluation methods for applying to nuclear power plants piping for beyond design basis earthquake. As a results, energy method based on the absorbed energy on nuclear power plant, deterministic method following design code and theory, experience method considering past earthquake data and information and probabilistic methods similar to probabilistic risk assessment were reviewed.

  • 최근 발생한 일본 동북부의 대지진과 이에 동반된 해일은 막대한 재산손실과 인명피해를 가져왔다. 일본에 인접한 우리나라도 규모 3~4의 지진이 빈번히 일어나고 있고, 그 이상의 규모 지진도 간혹 발생하고 있다. 따라서 더 이상 한국이 지진과 해일의 안전지대라고 안심할 수 없는 상황이다. 이에 본 논문은 지진과 함께 동반되는 해일에 대비하기 위한 경보 및 상황 보고 시스템의 필요성을 제시하고, 사용자들이 경보를 받을 뿐 아니라 스마트폰을 이용한 SNS와 GPS를 이용하여 실시간으로 상황 보고에 대한 의견 교환을 하면서 함께 대피하도록 돕는 실시간 경보 및 상황 보고 시스템을 제안한다.

  • Prognostic characteristics of hypothetical tsunamis in the East Sea are discussed based on numerical model simulations of linear long wave theory and wave ray for 28 source zones of tsunamigenic earthquake selected by the seismic gap theory. As a result, the propagation patterns of tsunamis due to hypothetical earthquake are presented and analyses also lead to selection of the geographical zones with low risk of tsunamis.

  • 수치기법이 복잡한 Boussinesq 방정식 대신 간단한 선형 Boussinesq 형태의 파동방정식을 지배방정식으로 사용하면서도 완변수심상 지진해일 전파시 요구되는 물리적 분산효과를 정도 높게 고려할 수 있는 분산보정 지진해일 전파 유한요소모형을 개발하였다. 수심이 변하는 지형에서의 분산보정능력을 검증하기 위해 수중 원형천퇴상을 전파하는 Gaussian 형상의 가상지진에 대해 수치모의를 수행하고, 그 결과를 선형 Boussinesq 방정식에 의해 계산된 수치해와 비교하였다. 그 결과 개발된 유한요소모형이 수심이 변하는 지형에서도 상당히 정확하다는 것이 입증되었다.

  • 본 연구에서는 최근 5년간 서해에서 발생한 해저 지진 중에서 가장 큰 지진인 2003년 3월 23일에 발생한 해저 지진의 진앙지(북위 $35^{\circ}$, 동경 $124.6^{\circ}$)에 우리 나라에 가장 큰 피해를 입힌 1983년 동해 중부 지진해일의 지진 매개변수(parameter)를 적용한 가상 지진해일을 발생시키고 새만금 지역의 최대 처오름 높이를 계산하였다. 가상지진해일에 대한 수치모의 결과 새만금 지역에서는 $0.4{\sim}0.9m$의 파고가 발생하겠으며, 이러한 결과는 지진해일로 인한 새만금 방조제 유실 및 방조제 내부의 재난방재를 위한 기초적 자료가 될 것이다.
