A bolometer sensor used in an infrared thermal imaging system has many advantages on the process because it does not need a separate cooling system and its manufacturing is easy. However the sensitivity of the bolometer is low and the fixed pattern noise(FPN) is large, because the bolometer sensor is made by micro electro mechanical systems (MEMS). These problems can be fixed-by using the high performance readout integrated circuit(ROIC) with noise reduction techniques. In this paper, we propose differential delta sampling circuit to remove the mismatch noise of ROIC itself, the FPN of the bolometer. And for reduction of FPN noise, the reference signal compensation circuit which compensate the reference signal by using on-resistance of MOS transistor was proposed.

Infrared bolometer sensor's variation is detected by voltage drop between reference resistor and bolometer resistor in this architecture. One of the serious problems in this architecture is that these resistors value has a process variation. So common-mode level could be different from expectation in room temperature. Different common-mode level could lead to wrong output at the end of readout circuit. We suggest useful method to solve this problem. Difference correction using capacitor has reduced CM level difference to 86% for 1 $M\Omega$. bolometer and reference resistor's 10% variation.

국내 원전의 사용후핵연료를 경제적으로 수송할 수 있는 대형 수송용기의 국내개발을 위하여 10년의 냉각기간을 갖는 28다발의 PWR 사용후핵연료를 수송할 수 있도록 기본 설계기준을 설정하였다. 이 대형 수송용기에 대하여 개념설계로부터 결정된 차폐두께와 칫수를 기준으로 기본구조를 결정하고 정상수송조건 및 가상사고 조건에 대한 구조해석을 수행하였다. 대형 수송용기는 내부에 많은 양의 PWR 사용후핵연료를 담고 있으므로 이들 핵연료의 중량은 구조설계에 큰 영향을 미치게 된다. 본 연구의 목적은 28다발의 PWR 핵연료를 담은 대형 수송용기가 9m 높이에서 자유낙하하여 충돌사고를 일으켰을 때의 안전성을 파악하기 위한 것이다. 수송용기가 충돌시 충격면에 발생하는 충격력으로 인한 충격완충체의 변형과 충격흡수, 수송용기에 발생하는 응력, 가속도, 충돌력 등의 동적거동을 파악하여 안전성을 입증하였다.

석탄화력발전소의 부산물인 석탄회를 이용한 DUPIC dirty scrap waste의 유리고화체에 대한 내침출성을 분석하였다. Fly ash, SiO$_2$, NaNO$_3$, B$_2$O$_3$에 DUPIC 핵연료 제조공정으로부터 발생되는 모의 dirty scrap waste를 15 wt% ~ 30 wt% 혼합하여, 115$0^{\circ}C$ 에서 3시간 용융시킨 후 서서히 냉각시켜 얻은 유리고화체의 침출성을 온도, 침출액의 종류, 폐기물의 함량 등에 따라 평가하였다 침출실험결과 석탄회유리고화체는 양호한 내침출성을 보였다. 석탄회유리고화체의 침출율은 합성지하수, 합성해수, 증류수의 순으로 감소하였으며, 폐기물함량의 증가에 따라 증가하였다.

A novel method was proposed for determining the residual stress profile of an optical fiber by using a modified polariscope. Measurement results of the axisymmetric residual stress for a conventional single-mode fiber were demonstrated by using this method. It was found that non-uniform stress is distributed in the cladding of the fiber. This means that large mechanical stress is induced as a function of temperature generated near the neck shape of the fiber preform.

The characteristic of the superconducting magnetic energy storage(SMES) system is faster response, longer life time, more economical, and environment friendly than other uninterruptible power supply(UPS) using battery. So, the SMES system can be used to develop methods for improving power quality where a short interruption of power could lead to a long and costly shutdown. Recently, cryogen free SMES has developed using BSCCO(Bismuth Strontium Calcium Copper Oxide) wire. We fabricated and tested the conduction cooling system for the 600 kJ class HTS SMES. The experiment was accomplished for the simulation coils. The simulation coils were made of aluminium, it is equivalent to thermal mass of 600 kJ HTS SMES coil. The coil is cooled with two GM coolers through the copper conduction bar. In this paper, we report that the test results of cool-down and heat loads characteristics of the simulation coils. The developed conduction cooling system adapted to 600 kJ HTS SMES system and cope with the unexpected sudden heat impact, too.

The 600 kJ calss high-temperature superconducting(HTS) SMES(superconducting magnetic energy storage) system is being developed by Korean Electrotechnology Research Institute(KERI). The system is operated in cryogenic temperature and high vacuum condition. The SMES magnet was cooled by conduction cooling method using a Gifford-McMahon cycle cryocooler. Thus the electric insulation design at cryogenic temperature and high vacuum is a key and an important element. Because it accomplish compact design that is a big advantage of HTS SMES. This paper describes the electric insulation design, fabrication and experimental results for a mini model of conduction cooled HTS SMES.
