  • The paper describes and quantifies the wastes arising in the nuclear fuel cycle for Light Water Reactors, Heavy Water Reactors and Fast Breeder Reactors. The management and disposal technologies are indicated, together with their environmental impacts. Both once-through and uranium-plutonium recycle systems are evaluated, and comparisons are made on the basis of tingle reference technologies for waste management, and for one gigawatt/year of electricity generation. Environmental impacts are assessed, particularly that of health and safety, and a reference costing system is applied purely as a basis for comparing the fuel cycles. From this study it call be concluded generally that the relative differences of the impacts of waste management and disposal between the selected fuel cycles are not decisive factors in choosing a fuel cycle. Employing the technologies assumed, the radioactive wastes from any of the fuel cycles studied can be managed and disposed of with a high degree of safety and without undue risk to man or the environment. The cost of waste management and disposal is only a few percent of the value of the electricity generated and does not vary greatly between fuel cycles.

  • This study was performed to test the feasibility of thermophilic ($55^{\circ}$) co-digestion of municipal sewage sludge and food wastes. The management variables of co-digestion were the mixed ratios of municipal sewage sludge and food waste hydraulic retention times (HRTs). During the operation of thermophilic co-digestion, the reactor pH ranged from 7.0 to 7.5 and the reactor alkalinity remained above 3,200 to 4,000 mg/L as $CaCO_3$. The volatile fatty acids concentration increased as the HRT shortened from 20 days to 10 days and the mixture ratio increased to 1:4, but did not reach toxic levels for co-digestion of sewage sludge and food wastes. Methane productivity increased gradually as the organic loading rate increased. Maximum methane productivity reached 1.03v/v-d at an HRT of 10 days and at the mixture ratio of 1:4. The TVS removal efficiency decreased from 70.6% to 58.3% as the HRT shortened from 20 days to 10 days. TVS removal efficiency ranged from 57.0% to 77% during the entire operation. It is likely that thermophilic co-digestion of sewage sludge and food wastes is a very effective method both to environmentally treat food waste and to economically produce gas for energy.

  • 본 연구의 목적은 생산현장의 생산성향상을 위한 낭비를 분석하여 객관적이고, 과학적으로 현장낭비를 종합적으로 분석하여 이를 개선함으로써, 최적의 생산 라인을 구축하여 원가절감을 하고, 나아가 기업경쟁력을 강화하고자 한다. 많은 기업들이 현장의 낭비를 분석하는데 있어서 명확한 로드 맵이 없어 기존의 IE(Industrial Engineering)기법과 응용 IE기법을 기업현실과 상황을 고려하여 각각 활용, 그 성과측면에서의 아쉬움을 가지고 있다. 본 연구의 생산혁신 프로세스는 조립라인, 가공라인, 자동화 라인 등에 존재하는 모든 낭비를 분석할 수 있도록 추진 단계별로 고전 IE 및 응용 IE 기법을 체계적으로 정리함으로써 생산현장의 낭비를 종합적으로 분석/파악하여 전체 낭비가 얼마나 존재하며, 이를 개선하기 위한 선택과 집중을 기할 수 있도록 개선성과를 극대화하고, 개선활동계획 수립에 기여하고자 함이다.

  • This paper discusses the determinants of green practices and incorporates some empirical findings from a recent study in the petrochemical sector in the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago. The study was comprised of a survey and follow-up interviews with senior executives who participated in the survey. Of fourteen companies involved, the findings affirmed that the investigation of accidents, provision of an emergency response, employee training, decreasing the production of wastes, and pre-treating wastes before disposal should be stressed. Government requirement, the economic reasons and public pressures were the driving forces of green practices. The five most important determinants identified include performance evaluation, financial justification, impacts on company, management leadership and operations integration. Implementing environmental management systems as a feasible approach to green practices in the petrochemical sector was explored. The findings provide guidance that helps organisations to accommodate the determinants of green practices into achieving sustainable environmental goals.

  • In recently, the Korea government is concerning on non-point source pollution management to improve water quality. The objective of this paper is to investigate the improvement measurement for management of livestock wastes. As a result, we find that the National Pollution Source Survey is necessary to establish the unified database system with the Korea Statistics(KOSAT) in order to minimize the difference between relevant data. The investigation for environmental impact of livestock manure should be supported the designation of control areas and establishment of the technical guidelines including target material, monitoring site, standard method, etc. In addition, it should be followed by appropriate nutrient recycling and proper fertilizer usage based on social consultation and cost-benefit analysis.

  • 원자력발전을 지속가능한 에너지원으로 활용하기 위해서는 원전 해체 및 운영 과정에서 발생하는 방사성폐기물의 안전하고 효율적인 처분이 매우 중요하다. 방사성폐기물 종류는 다양하지만 해체과정에서 가장 많이 발생할 것으로 예상되는 극저준위방사성폐기물 인수기준수립은 원전해체전략수립에 큰 영향을 줄 것으로 보인다. 본 연구에서는 영국과 미국의 극저준위방사성폐기물처분장 인수기준을 경주에 건설 중인 원자력환경센터의 인수기준과 비교분석을 통해 향후 우리나라 극저준위방사성폐기물 처분을 위한 폐기물 인수기준을 분석하고자 한다.

  • 최근 국내외적으로 친환경에 대한 국제적인 관심이 증가됨에 따라, 건설 산업 측면에서도 친환경적인 생산시스템 구축을 위한 노력이 요구되고 있다. 이에 부응하기 인해 건설폐기물 재활용과 관련하여 다양한 실무와 연구가 진행되고 있지만, 현장조사결과 '건설현장'과 '폐기물 처리업체'에서 수행하고 있는 폐기물 처리과정 및 처리방안이 상호 효과적으로 지원하고 있지 못하여 폐기물 재활용 저해요소로서 작용하고있는 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 건설폐기물의 재활용을 활성화시키는 방안으로써, '건설현장'과 '폐기물 처리업체'의 건설폐기물 처리과정에서 폐기물 재활용을 저해하는 요인을 도출하고, 이를 기반으로 개선방향을 제시하고자 한다. 이러한 연구목표를 달성하기 위해, 먼저 광범위한 문헌조사를 통해 대표적인 건설폐기물 종류(폐 콘크리트, 폐 아스팔트, 폐 토사, 폐 벽돌, 폐 합성수지, 폐 목재)를 선정하였고, '건설현장'과 '폐기물 처리 업체'를 대상으로 전문가 면담을 실시하여, 이들 개별 폐기물의 처리과정 조사를 통해서 폐기물 재활용 저해요인을 조사하였다. 또한, 전문가 면담 결과로 파악된 폐기물 재활용 저해요인을 설문조사를 통해 중요도 및 우선순위를 파악하였다. 이를 기반으로 현행 건설폐기물 처리 프로세스를 개선함으로써, 재활용 효율화 방안을 제시하였다.
