When a metal oxide field effect transistor (MOSFET) is exposed to ionizing radiation, electron/hole pairs are generated in its oxide layer. The slow moving holes of them are trapped in the oxide layer of p-MOSFET and appear as extra charges that change the characteristics of the transistor. The radiation-induced charges directly impact the threshold (turn-on) voltage of the transistor. This paper describes the use of the radiation-induced threshold voltage change as an accumulated radiation dose monitoring sensor. Two kinds of commercial p-type MOSFETS were tested in a Co-60 gamma irradiation facility to see their capabilities as a radiation dosimeter. We found that the transistors showed good linearity in their threshold voltage shift characteristics with radiation dose. The results demonstrate the potential use of commercial p-MOSFETS as inexpensive radiation sensors for the first time.

SInce 2000, Instrumentation and Control(I&C) systems of Nuclear Power Plant(NPP) based on analog technology began to be applied to the digital technology. NPPs under construction in the country with domestic APR1400 I&C system, most devices were digitalized. Cyber security of NPP I&C systems has emerged as an important issue because digital devices compared to the existing analog equipment are vulnerable to cyber attacks. In this paper, We proposed the risk rating process of cyber security threats in NPP I&C system and applied the proposed process to the Reactor Protection System(RPS) developed through Korea Nuclear Instrumentation & Control System(KINCS) project for evaluating the risk of cyber security threats.

This study is concerned with the stability of liquid crystal forming emulsifier with localized depend on change of pH using liquid crystal forming agent of advanced company. The liquid crystal emulsifying agent was localized using Sugar Crystal-LC (bio-tech Co., Ltd., Korea), and comparative samples were measured by using Nikkomulese-LC (Nikko Camicarls, Japan) and Alacel-LC (Croda Camicarls, UK). Liquid crystal formation was confirmed microscopically to show the formation of liquid crystal structure at acidic (pH=4.2), neutral (pH=7.0) and alkaline (pH=11.7). The particles of the liquid crystal were observed with a polarizing microscope according to the stirring speed. The stirring time was all the same for 3 minutes with a homo-mixer, and the stirring speed was increased to 2500 rpm, 3500 rpm and 4500 rpm to observe the liquid crystal state. As a result, it was found that the Korean surfactant was more stable and clear liquid crystal structure was formed than the two foreign acids. In the case of the UK in acid zone, the emulsion particle size was uniform and unstable. In the case of Japanese surfactant, it has similar structure and performance to those of localized Korean. It was found that Korean surfactant had superior emulsifying performance in acid zone compared with foreign products. It is possible to develop various formulations such as liquid crystal cream, lotion, eye cream, etc. using Sugar Crystal-LC emulsifier as an application cosmetic field, and it is expected that it can be widely applied as emulsifying technology for skin care external application in the pharmaceutical industry and the pharmaceutical industry as well as the cosmetics industry.

As a result of the rapid entry into an aging society and westernized eating habits, the number of heart disease patients caused by angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, and high blood pressure has increased by more than 100,000 over five years. Heart disease has consistently ranked second in the cause of death in Korea over the past eight years, and medical expenses consumed annually reach 6 trillion won. While various treatments are being proposed for more patients, drug-coated balloon catheters have been developed and gradually commercialized to solve the disadvantages of stent implantation such as restenosis and increased risk of bleeding due to long-term double antiplatelet medication. In Korea, it began to use a drug-coated balloon catheter with the first release of it called "SeQuent Please^Ⓡ (Bibrown Korea)" in 2010. Its demand increased gradually as insurance benefits were applied in 2012. Drug-coated balloon angioplasty is increasing in use not only in Korea but also around the world, especially in the Asia-Pacific region, including Japan. Until now, the demand for domestic products is increasing, and if the efficiency in vivo and clinical trials is proven in the future, it is expected to be an effective procedure compared to high-risk stent implantation.

The steam generator management program(SGMP) has recently defined the procedures for the qualification of eddy current hardware and technique. These procedures provide two basic methods for qualification. The first way is to qualify the equipment or the probe by using the flaw mechanism and method of the pulled tubes from the heat exchangers or the artificial flawed tubes. The second way is to verify the equivalency with the characteristics of the qualified equipment or probe. In this case, the qualified equipment or probe may be modified to substitute or replace instruments or probes without re-qualification provided that the range of essential variables defined in the examination technique specification sheet are met. This study is to describe the result of the comparative performance evaluation of bobbin coil eddy current probes manufactured by KEPCO Research Institute and probes manufactured by a foreign manufacturer. As a result of this study, although there were minor differences between the two kinds of probes, it was evaluated that the two kinds of probes were almost identical in the significant performance characteristics described in the KEPCO Research Institute guideline.

Cryopump는 반도체 임플란타 공정, OLED분야, 신소재 개발, 표면분석 및 처리, 의료분야, 입자가속기, 핵융합 등 다양한 진공분야에 응용되는 고진공용 극저온펌프이다. 특히 향후로의 산업구조는 디스플레이, 반도체, IT 산업분야로 집중 재편될 것이기에, 이에 따른 핵심제조장비인 고진공 펌프의 수요가 급증할 것으로 판단된다. 그리고 이를 위한 핵심부품과 장비들의 국산화가 시급한 실정이다. 기술적인 측면에서 보자면 GVT는 미국의 Varian과 일본Ebara의 Cryopump 제조기술을 원천으로 한 회사로써 현재는 국내 유일의 G-M냉동기와 Cryopump 제조기술을 보유한 업체이다. 그리고 최근 오랫동안 정체되었던 관련 기술을 발전시켜 최적화된 한국형 G-M 냉동기 및 이를 장착한 다양한 사이즈의 고성능 Cryopump를 출시하게 되었다. 가장 큰 수확은 Cryopump의 성능을 크게 향상시켰으며 무엇보다 고객맞춤형으로 디자인할 수 있을 정도의 기술력을 확보하게 되었다는 점이다. Cryopump의 성능은 장착되는 Cryocooler(G-M냉동기)의 성능과 밀접한 관련이 있기 때문에 일차로 Cryocooler의 성능을 개선하고 이차로 이를 장착한 Cryopump의 성능을 개선하였다. 본 연구는 일차로 진행된 HP Series 2단 Cryocooler 4가지 모델 중 가장 범용인 HPM 모델과 HPS모델에 대한 제작과 성능시험에 관한 것이다. 이는 각각 기존의 ICP Series 펌프에 장착되던 Expander 535 모델 및 Expander 855 모델에 대한 설계 최적화의 결과물로써 내용은 Cryocooler에 대한 'Typical Performance Test(1st STG와 2nd STG의 온도가 각각의 Stage에 인가되는 Heat Load에 의해 그물망 형태의 그래프가 되도록 수행하는 시험법)'의 절차를 따라 수행되었다. HPM Cryocooler의 성능은 2nd STG Temp. 20K 와 1st STG Temp. 80K를 Heat Load 기준으로 하였을 경우, 각각 8.2W, 55.0W의 성능을 나타내었고 HPS Cryocooler의 성능은 2nd STG Temp. 20K 와 1st STG Temp. 72K를 Heat Load기준으로 하였을 경우, 각각 14.0W, 90.0W의 성능을 나타내었다. 1st STG Temp.를 72K로 정한 이유는 Power Supply의 용량 한계로 인해 90W이상의 Heat Load를 인가할 수 없었기 때문이다. 만약 성능 그래프의 경향성을 고려하여 1st STG Temp. 80K로 가정한다면, 각각 약 13W, 100W 정도의 성능을 가질 것으로 추정된다. 단, 본 시험에 사용된 Compressor는 GVT의 HC80Plus 모델로 내부에는 Helium용 5HP급 Scroll Type의 Compressor가 장착되어 있으며, 봉입압력 250Psig에 저압 100Psig기준, 65scfm의 유량을 가지는 압축기이다. 압축기와 Cryocooler의 조합은 1:1이었고 시험방법은 Cryocooler에 대한 GVT 자체규정에 따라 진행되었으며 밤과 낮 및 공장전체의 부하변동에 따른 냉각수 온도변화에 따른 펌프의 성능변화는 고려되지 않았다.

This study aims to analyze the current status of timber production operation and the effects of the forestry mechanization projects on timber production. In order to increase the domestic timber production, it is necessary to propel forestry mechanization project, improve policy and institution, broaden forest-road network, enlarge the number of forest workers, enhance timber production and supply system, provide forestry machines, establish forest operation system, and train forest workers. In addition, the reestablishment of policy goals, the consistency of policy, and the rearrangement of laws and institution are considered more important. To improve the results and effects of forestry mechanization project, it is necessary to drive of forestry mechanization project, the spread of forestry machines, the cultivation of trainer ability, the development of training materials, and the teaching of field skill. In order to meet timber buyersí preference, timber needs to be produced through whole tree logging operation system. Expanding the proportion of domestic timber among total timber demand in Korea requires price competitiveness, and the supply ability of high quality product from the perspective of length and width.
