The strong protection method of radiation emergency preparedness is the evacuation when a great deal of radionuclide material is released to environment. Required factors for evacuation time estimate of Ulchin nuclear power plant site were investigated. The traffic capacity and the traffic volume by season were investigated for the traffic analysis and simulation within EPZ of Ulchin site. As a result, the background traffic volume by season were established. The NETSIM code was applied to simulate for 12 scenarios in the event of normal traffic/summer peak traffic/winter peak traffic, daytime/night, and normal weather/adverse weather conditions. The results showed that the evacuation time required for total vehicles to move out from EPZ took generally $210\~315$ minutes. The evacuation time took longer about 45 minutes at night than in the daytime, and 45 minutes in adverse weather than normal condition.

The time for evacuation of residents in emergency planning zone(EPZ) of Uljin nuclear site in case of a radiological emergency was estimated with traffic analysis. Evacuees were classified into 4 groups by considering population density, local jurisdictions, and whether they ate residents or transients. The survey to investigate the behavioral characteristics of the residents was made for 200 households and included a hypothetical scenario explaining the accident situation and questions such as dwelling place, time demand for evacuation preparation transportation means for evacuation, sheltering place, and evacuation direction. The microscopic traffic simulation model, CORSIM, was used to simulate the behavior of evacuating vehicles on networks. The results showed that the evacuation time required for total vehicles to move out from EPZ took longer in the daytime than at night in spite that the delay times at intersections were longer at night than in the daytime. This was analyzed due to the differences of the trip generation time distribution. To validate whether the CORSIM model fan appropriately simulate the congested traffic phenomena assumable in case of emergency, a benchmark study was conducted at an intersection without an actuated traffic signal near Uljin site during the traffic peak-time in the morning. This study indicated that the predicted output by the CORSIM model was in good agreement with the observed data. satisfying the purpose of this study.

Against major release of radioactive material in nuclear power plant, Emergency Planning Zone(EPZ)s are typically established around nuclear power plants to effectively perform the public protective measures. The domestic methodology to determine the size of the EPZ is similar to that of Japan established in 1980, where calculations were based on the conservative accident source term. The objective of this study is to re-evaluate the validity of established EPZ, the area within the radius of $8{\sim}10km$ around domestic nuclear power plants, using the source terms covering full spectrum of accidents obtained from PSA study of ULJIN 3&4. To evaluate the risks of health effects, the computer code MACCS2(MELCOR Accident Consequence Code System2) was used. The result shows that the existing EPZ can reduce the probability of early fatality adequately for most of the source term categories(STCs) except for STC-14 and STC-19. In case of STC-14 and 19, the evacuation distance of 16km and 13km, respectively, are required. These distances can be reduced by improving emergency preparedness since the sensitivity studies for the public protective actions show that the magnitude of early fatality is largely affected by the time delays in notification and evacuation.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the social behavior, especially, the evacuation-related social behavior, of the transients in the radiological emergency planning zone(EPZ) of nuclear power plants. So, the meaning and kinds of the evacuation and the significance of the trip generation time(TGT) have been reviewed. The characteristics of the social behavior of the transient around Ulchin, Wolsong and Kori sites was analyzed through field surveys by using the questionnaire. The major findings of this research implications are as follows. First, for securing the safe evacuation, the alternatives to effectively provide the information on the evacuation warning may be prepared. Second, it is necessary to establish the education and training of transient's evacuation. Third, it is needed that the cause and background of the evacuation refusal are identified and the new response plan to secure transient's safety is prepared.

When an accident occurs at nuclear power plant and radionuclide material is released to the area around the plant, public evacuation is considered as a measure to protect the safety of the residents nearby. This study draws factors required to estimate evacuation time and make estimation of the time to evacuate all residents from the EPZ of Wolsong site in consideration of traffic condition in the neighborhood and on the basis of field data around the site for each factor. The traffic capacity and the traffic volume by season were investigated for the traffic analysis and simulation within EPZ of Wolsong site. As a result, the background traffic volume by season were established. To estimate TGT(Trip Generation Time), the questionnaire surveys were carried out for resident and transient. The TSIS code was applied to traffic analysis in the events of daytime/night and normal/adverse weather under normal day/summer peak traffic condition. The results showed that the evacuation time required for total vehicles to move out from EPZ took generally from 118 to 150 minutes. The evacuation time took longer maximum 17 minutes at night than daytime during summer peak traffic.

This study is a basic study to improve responsiveness in the event of a disaster in the landside area of the Airport Passenger Terminal, and it investigated the airport emergency plan and the status of emergency response in the event of a disaster by the airline's ground staff. The Airport Emergency Plan examined the airport evacuation plan of Korea's Gimpo Airport and Japan's Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport, confirming that the domestic airport emergency plan was not specific. In addition, a survey of 100 airline ground employees working at check-in counters found that 69% of the respondents were unaware of their role in disaster situations, 90% were not educated in emergency response and 98% were not trained in disaster training in landside areas. Cross-analysis confirmed significant results in the safety of the airport where the service life worked and whether it was a role in the event of a disaster. Therefore, it is suggested that the airport emergency response plan should be improved to improve the ability to respond to disaster sites in the landside area of the airport passenger terminal and that the airline's ground staff should be educated and trained to enhance disaster response.

저수지에 대한 비상대처계획수립은 최근 기상이변 등에 따른 대규모 호우가 빈번히 발생하고 있을 뿐만 아니라 세계 도처에서 대규모 지진 등으로 많은 인명과 재산 피해가 속출함에 따라 지진 및 이상홍수에 대한 저수지의 안정성 평가를 수행하고 저수지 지점에서 발생할 수 있는 천재지변 또는 예상치 못한 대규모 재해에 효율적으로 대처하기 위한 비상상황의 등급 및 위험수준을 체계적으로 판단하고 비상상황 가상 시나리오별 체계적 행동요령 및 대처계획을 수립하여 저수지 붕괴에 따른 대규모 홍수피해 예상지역 주민들의 신속한 대응으로 생명과 재산피해를 최소화하는데 목적이 있다. 현행 한국농어촌공사 및 지자체에서 수립하고 있는 30만 톤 이상 저수지에 대한 1차원 모형 기반의 EAP수립은 침수구역을 산정할 때 수치지도에 의한 단일 침수심 분석으로 실제 침수구역과는 많은 오류가 나타난다. 이는 침수구역 부정확에 따른 피해복구액 산정이 과다로 책정될 수 있고, 마지막으로 가장 중요한 비상대처계획 수립에 막대한 영향을 미친다. 이에 본 연구는 댐 붕괴에 대응하기 위한 EAP 수립 시 기본이 되는 홍수범람해석을 수행하고 1차원 및 2차원 모형의 결과검토를 통해 보다 효과적인 비상대처계획의 수립을 위한 방안을 제시하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 경천저수지 유역을 대상으로 가능최대강수량 조건 하에서 가능최대홍수량을 산정하고 DAMBRK 모형을 이용하여 댐 붕괴 모의를 위한 시나리오 구성 및 모의를 수행하였다. 이후 댐 붕괴 모의결과를 이용하여 WMS(Watershed Modeling System) 모형을 이용한 1차원 홍수범람해석과 FLUMEN(FLUvial Modeling ENgine) 모형을 이용한 2차원 홍수범람해석에 적용 후 각 결과를 비교·검토하였다.

개방수조형 연구로인 하나로에서 가상적인 채널유동 차단사고에 따른 방사능 방출시의 환경영향을 부지 기상자료 측정결과를 이용하여 고공방출과 지표 면방출의 두가지 경로에 대해 평가하였다. 계산 결과, 지표면방출이 고공방출보다 피폭선량이 크게 나타났으나, 두 경우 모두 제한구역(EAB) 및 저인구지역(LPZ) 경계에서의 피폭선량 허용기준치를 만족하였다. 그리고 비상계획구역은 800 m로 설정하면 적절함을 입증하였다.
