A steam generator in nuclear power plant is a heatexchager which is used to convert water into steam from heat produced in a nuclear reactor core, and the steam produced in steam generator is delivered to the turbine to generate electricity. Because of damage to steam generator tubing may impair its ability to adequately perform required safety functions in terms of both structural integrity and leakage integrity, eddy current testing is periodically performed to evaluate the integrity of tubes in steam generator. This assessment is normally performed during a reactor refueling outage. Currently, the eddy current testing for steam generator of nuclear power plant in Korea is performed in accordance with KEPIC & ASME Code requirements, the eddy current testing system is consists of remote data acquisition unit and data analysis program to evaluate the acquired data. The KEPIC & ASME Code require that the electrical properties of remote data acquisition unit, such as total harmonic distortion, input & output impedance, amplifier linearity & stability, phase linearity, bandwidth & demodulation filter response, analog-to-digital conversion, and channel crosstalk shall be measured in accordance with the KEPIC & ASME Code requirements. In this paper, the measurement requirements of electrical properties for eddy current testing instrument described in KEPIC & ASME Code are presented, and the measurement results of newly developed eddy current testing instrument by KHNP(Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power Co., LTD) are presented.

상수관망은 충분한 양질의 수돗물을 공급하기 위한 사회기반 시설물이다. 상수관로의 노후화, 누수 등은 수도 사고 발생의 가능성을 증가시키고, 수돗물 안전성에 대한 신뢰도를 감소시킨다. 수돗물 공급 전 과정을 인공지능(AI), 정보통신기술(ICT)과 결합한 지능형 상수도관 예측 및 관리 시스템을 구축하여, 상수도 수질 사고를 조기에 감지하고 사전에 취약지점을 예측할 필요가 있다. 이를 위해서는 상수관로의 위험도를 평가하기 위한 체계적인 데이터와 기준이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 상수관로의 위험도 예측모델을 개발하기 위해 상수관로 위험도와 관련된 평가 인자를 선정하고 분류하였으며, 각 인자의 명확한 기준을 제시하였다. 국내·외 상수도 위험도 평가 항목에 대한 자료를 비교 및 분석하였고, 전문가 자문을 통해 인자를 정립하여 상수관로 위험도 평가 지표를 개발하였다. 개발된 평가 지표의 현장 적용성과 실효성 검증을 위해 정량적인 데이터 확보가 가능하고 상태를 평가할 수 있는 대상 지역을 선정하였다. 문헌 자료의 평가항목들과 전문가 의견을 바탕으로 상수관로 위험도 평가 인자를 31개의 직접 인자와 5개의 간접 인자로 구분하였고, 인자별 평가 기준을 제시하였다. 직접 인자는 노후화 정도를 파악할 수 있는 노후도 평가 항목, 지역 특성을 반영한 토양 부식성 항목, 실시간으로 측정하여 결과를 제공하는 실시간 계측 항목, 직접적인 수질 결과를 제공하는 정수장 수질 항목, 상수관로의 건전성을 평가하는 자산관리 항목으로 분류하였다. 추후, 위험도 평가 운용을 위한 알고리즘을 개발하면 상수도 사고 위험에 대한 예방 및 대응 전략을 수립할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Prognostics and health management(PHM) is actively utilized by industry as an essential technology focusing on accurately monitoring the health state of a system and predicting the remaining useful life(RUL). An effective PHM is expected to reduce maintenance costs as well as improve safety of system by preventing failure in advance. With these advantages, PHM can be applied to the battery system which is a core element to provide electricity for devices with mobility, since battery faults could lead to operational downtime, performance degradation, and even catastrophic loss of human life by unexpected explosion due to non-linear characteristics of battery. In this paper we mainly review a recent progress on various models for predicting RUL of battery with high accuracy satisfying the given confidence interval level. Moreover, performance evaluation metrics for battery prognostics are presented in detail to show the strength of these metrics compared to the traditional ones used in the existing forecasting applications.

This paper is intended to show some new approaches and concepts for the development of system model and prototype software for computer-aided Monitoring and Assessment(M&A) of grand bridges. The system model that incorporates optimal strategies for M&A of grand bridges is suggested. Reliability models are developed and a reliability-based capacity rating method is established for the evaluation of the bridge safety and reliability based on the real responses measured from a series of field load tests. Based on the proposed models, an integrated prototype software is then developed for computer-aided M&A of grand bridges under the environment of the graphic user interface, which is successfully applied to the M&A of an existing cable-stayed bridge. It may be stated that the system model and prototype software developed in this paper can be utilized and implemented in the development of the computer-aided M&A system for cable-stayed and suspension bridges.

Recently, structure safety management techniques using cutting-edge technology(Displacement senor, sensor of acceleration) has emerged as an important issue owing to the aging of infrastructure such as bridge and building. In general, the structural monitoring system for structure safety management is based on IT technology and it is expensive to install. In this paper developed an image-based structure dynamic characteristic analysis system prototype to assess the damage of structure in a more cost-effective way than traditional structure health monitoring system. The inspector can take a video of buildings or other structures with digital camera or any other devices that is passible to take video, and then using NCC calculation for image processing technique to get natural frequency. This system is analysis of damage of the structure using a compare between the frequency response ratio and functions when problems are occurs send alarm to administrator. This system is easier to install and remove than previous monitoring sensor in economical way.

Recently, as tunnel structure is getting old, many deformations and defects have been occurred. As tunnel has the characteristics of underground structure, the estimation of the cause of deformation is very difficult. Then, it is necessary to investigate the state of tunnel lining and to estimate the deformation cause and safety for tunnel. In this study, inspection and diagnosis system for effective maintenance in tunnel was researched. Firstly, non-destructive techniques such as GPR (ground penetrating radar), impact echo test, and infrared thermal techniques were applied to tunnel lining inspection. Tunnel lining analysis system was developed to analyze the stability of tunnel. And, tunnel soundness evaluation system was developed to find the probable causes and indicate the method for repair and reinforcement for tunnel.

The satellite is exposed to various launch environments such as random vibrations and shock. Accordingly, structural design of electronic equipment mounted on satellite must meet reliability requirements at the box level. In addition, it is essential to secure the reliability of the solder joint applied to electronic equipment. In this paper, we performed a modal and quasi-static analysis for the purpose of satisfaction of the design requirements of the CCB (Camera Controller Box) present on the 500 kg-class compact advanced satellite (CAS500). In addition, structural safety of electronic components was verified by the Steinberg's method and random equivalent static analysis.

This Study aims to establish better sound fiscal plan by investigating perception of local government officials. Local government fiscal consolidation is affected by a combination of factors, including social, economic, demographic, political financial health of local governments. We derived the financial situation of the government-related indicators, financial health-related indicators, the indicators to improve the financial health on the basis of this study are an existing discussion. To ensure the financial soundness of the Cheonan, it is necessary to increase the efficiency of financial management including financial monitoring and control devices provided the locals, investment screening analysis system to enable it. In addition, fiscal controls should be strengthened in order to effectively autonomous government debt management. You must cuts expense of local government to prepare for expansion of local government finance, it is necessary to realize that the fee rates. It should be made through a blend of autonomy and control in the central government, network of local government and the development of local financial operations. You should also to be distributed to the residents welfare and community development funds are invested substantially to establish a systematic planning, resource allocation, evaluation, and reflux system.
