The end of design lifetime for Wolsong unit 1 will be reached on 20th November in 2012. So the license renewal documents for the continuous operation of Wolsong unit 1 is under reviewing now. Major components of primary system such as pressure tubes, feeder pipes including delayed neutron monitoring system tubing are being replaced and many components of secondary system are also being repaired. In this paper, the assessment on the wear degradation of delayed neutron monitoring system tubing(on the other hand, DN tube was called) was performed for the ageing management of the same component. The wear defects of this component was one of causes that resulted in heavy water leakage accidents. Therefore design specifications of Wolsong uint 1 and heavy water leakage accidents of pressurized heavy water reactors were reviewed and causes of wear defect for DN tubes were analyzed. Wear propagation equations based on the heavy water leakage history were made and the proper repairing time was possible to be expected if the continued operation was considered. Finally design change items of DN tubes that were conducted for the long term operation of Wolsong unit 1 are introduced.

The reduction unit is one of the most important components in railway cars, due to the transmission of torque from the motor to the wheels. Faulty reduction gears in high-speed trains result from excessive wear on the gear or damage to the gear. These types of gear defects have a significant effect on high-speed rail operation and safety; thus, a diagnosis system for the reduction unit is needed. Vibration diagnosis technology is one of the most effective diagnostics. In this paper, the vibration parameters of a reduction unit were evaluated during a driving-gear test and a full-vehicle test, using kurtosis and the crest factor. These tests were performed under normal operating conditions; a specimen tester was used to diagnose problems in defective gears.

This paper presents a novel fiber optic accelerometer system for monitoring vibration of large-size structures. The system is composed of one (or multiple) sensor head, a light control unit and a signal processing unit. The sensing mechanism of the sensor head is based on a novel integration of the moire fringe phenomenon with fiber optics to achieve a robust performance in addition to its immunity to EM interference, easy cabling, and low cost. In this paper, a prototype of the fiber optic accelerometer system has been developed successfully. A low-cost light control unit has been developed to drive the system's optic and electronic components. A unique algorithm has also been developed to derive the sensor's acceleration from the raw signals of the light control unit; it is implemented via a separate signal processing unit. Finally, the shaking table tests successfully demonstrate the performance and the potential of the moire fringe fiber optic sensor system to monitor the health of civil infrastructures.

Using invariant theory, new invariant cubature formulas over a unit cube are given by imposing a group structure on the formulas. Cools and Haegemans [Computing 40, 139-146 (1988)] constructed invariant cubature formulas over a unit square. Since there exists a problem in directly extending their ideas over the unit square which were obtained by using a concept of good integrity basis to some constructions of invariant cubature formulas over the unit cube, a Reynold operator will be used to obtain new invariant cubature formulas over the unit cube. In order to practically find integration nodes and weights for the cubature formulas, it is required to solve a system of nonlinear equations. With an IMSL subroutine DUNLSF which is used for solutions of the system of nonlinear equations, we shall give integration nodes for the new invariant cubature formulas over the unit cube depending on each degree of polynomial precision.

In this paper, we analyzed the spectroscopic properties of strip to analyzer urine qualitatively & quantitatively and make urine analyzer system stable by spectroscopy, and research the property of preamplifier unit. The analysis of spectroscopic properties of 10 pads in the strip is used for determine the wave length of light source of optic detector unit and used for basic materials which are necessary that we develop the algorithm analyzing the density grade of pad accurately. We make preamplifier unit by using the current to frequency method to measure the distribution of pad color. We implemented urine analyzer system. This system's hardware is composed of measuring unit for detect of distribution density of strip pad, main processing unit, communication unit, interface device, thermal printer, and indicator. The software consists of the program which manage the argument of test, proportion initial value of urine analyzer and calibrate analyzed result.

The purpose of this study was to suggest the Support and Infill system for 126.6m$^2$-sized housing unit which meets residents' variety. The subjects were 100 housewives who lived in 126.6m$^2$-sized housing unit in the apartment complex, Busan. The data was collected by using model and questionnaire. The model was made to be same as the current 126.6m$^2$-sized floor plan. The residents preferred the flexible housing unit apartment complex. Also, the residents' needs for floor plan of housing unit were various. Therefore, the development of flexible housing unit is needed. On the basis of these findings, the support and infill system for 126.6m$^2$-sized housing unit was suggested.

The Emergency Diesel Generator(EDG) is a very important piece of equipment for the safety of a Nuclear Power Plant(NPP). In this study, the operating vibration or three kinds or EDG system was measured. The target EDG systems art Yonggwang 5 unit, Ulchin 2 unit and Ulchin 3 unit. The Yonggwang 5 and Ulchin 3 unit EDG system is the same type but the foundation systems are different. One is an anchor bolt type and the other is a spring and viscous-damper type. The purpose of this measurement is for a verification of the vibration isolation effect according to the foundation system. As a result. it can he said that the spring and viscous damper system of the EDG performed well for the vibration isolation.

This paper designs a CDU(Control Disaply Unit) for commercial high precision INS(Inertial Navigation System). The CDU is designed using GUI(Graphic User Interface) programming running on Windows operating system. Since the designed CDU provides standard functions of the Windows operating systems and has a modular structure, it is easy to modify and extend. The CDU has been interfaced to the H-726 INS, from which it's usefulness can be seen.

The Electronic Interlocking unit in railway signalling system is safety-related facilities to determine route and speed for train running. In particular, the SSI(Solid State Interlocking) is Electronic Interlocking unit for high-speed railway, and it performs safety-critical function by MPM(Micro-Processor Module). Meanwhile, MPM is composed of the PES(Programmable Electronic System)-based system, and the PES-based system in railway safety-related facilities should be implemented by complying with the safety requirements defined in IEC 62425 and IEC 61508. In this paper, we performed modeling of failure rate and reliability for MPM implemented by fault tolerance methods and analyzed functional safety for MPM. Moreover, we determined SIL(Safety Integrity Level) for MPM according to the safety requirements defined in IEC 61508 based on an analyzed functional safety.

Recently Requirement of indoor environment is increased in APT. Among indoor noises of APT, noise of plumbing system in bathroom is very serious problem except of floor impact noise. Plumbing system with wan hanging unit make a good grade and recognition in rating noise of bathroom in grade of house rating. But it is hard to find a data which are measured in APT built. In this study, the effect of noise reduction is checked by measuring the noise of plumbing system with wall hanging unit that is built. As result the upper household's Peak sound level is measured 80dB(A), the under household's peak sound level is measured 40dB(A).
