Recently, the quantities of chemical material are increasing in chemical industries. At that time, release accident is increasing due to aging of equipment, mechanical failure, human error, etc. and industrial complexes found community properties in a specific area. For that matter, chemical release accident can lead to hight probability of large disaster. There is a need to analyze the boundaries optimal sensor placement calculated by selecting release scenarios through release condition and wether condition in a chemical process for release detection and response. This paper is to investigate chlorine release accident scenarios using COMSOL. Through accident scenarios, a numerical calculation is studied to determine optimized sensor placement with weight of detection probability, detection time and concentration. In addition, validity of sensor placement is improved by robustness analysis about unpredicted accident scenarios. Therefore, this verifies our studies can be effectively applicable on any process. As mention above, the result of this study can help to place mobile sensor, to track gas release based concentration data.

Recently, the passenger ship 'Sewol' capsized with an abrupt inclination while she was making a small angle alteration. It is very important to fully understand the concepts, causes and relevant corrections for a ship's transverse inclination, which is classified into heel, list and loll. In this study, the concept, development and calculation of loll were well considered and the actual magnitude of the angle of loll was simulated in a box-shaped model-ship experiment. The experimental values and its development according to different values of negative stability were compared with calculated values. In the results, experimental values for the angle of loll coincided closely with calculated values and the model inclined symmetrically on both port and starboard sides indicating an outstanding feature of loll. This study is expected to expand the concept of loll and help in the analysis of capsize incidents with unknown causes. Further experimental research or case studies concerning the risk of inappropriate correction for loll arising from misunderstandings will be needed.

On April 20, 2010, semi-submersible offshore drilling unit Deepwater Horizon was exploded and sank, and 4.9 million barrels(about 778 thousand tons) of crude oil was spilled into the Gulf of Mexico. As more than one year has been passed since the incident, a lot of investigation reports and lessons learned have been made public and also a lot more will be released soon. This paper studies the final report of the National Commission on "the BP Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill and Offshore Drilling", which was organized by the executive directive of U.S. President Barack Obama, and the interim report of Joint Investigation team of U.S. Coast Guard and BOEMRE of "Report of Investigation into the Circumstances Surrounding the Explosion, Fire, Sinking and Loss of Eleven Members Aboard the Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit Deepwater Horizon". The review is focused on the response to the oil spill. And the paper suggests how to improve national marine pollution response policy. In the paper, the Korean governments is suggested to reinforce the capability for instructing and supervising the responsible party's source control measures, to review how to introduce in-situ burning and vessel of opportunity program into our country, and to continue monitoring on the progress of developments of R&D projects related to oil spill response in the U.S..

하천 내 오염물질 유입원은 하수처리장과 같이 농도를 예측 가능한 점오염원이 일반적이지만, 수질오염사고와 같이 다량의 유해물질이 일시에 하천에 유입되는 경우도 발생하곤 한다. 특히 오염물질 유입지점과 취수장이 인접한 경우, 오염물질 혼합해석에 대한 이해가 오염사고 대응 및 수질 관리 측면에서 매우 중요하다. 자연하천에서는 사행에 따른 유속 구조의 불균일성 등으로 인하여 오염물질의 이송 및 분산 과정은 매우 복잡하게 나타난다. 이러한 하천의 지형적, 수리학적 특성이 오염물질의 혼합 거동에 미치는 영향을 정확하게 모의하기 위해서는 3차원 수치모형을 적용해야 한다. 그러나 대부분의 하천은 하폭 대 수심비가 매우 크기 때문에 2차원 이송-분산 방정식을 지배방정식으로 채택하는 2차원 수치 모형이 널리 사용되어왔다. 2차원 이송-분산 방정식의 해석결과는 입력된 종, 횡 분산계수의 값에 따라 변화하기 때문에 정확한 혼합해석을 위해 분산계수의 결정이 매우 중요하다. 과거 연구에서는 횡 분산계수의 결정을 위해 기본 수리량을 이용한 경험식을 활용하여 계산한 바 있다. 종 분산계수의 경우에는 경험식의 산정에 필요한 충분한 실험 자료가 축적되어 있지 않아 이상적 흐름 상태를 가정하여 유도된 Elder의 이론식(Elder, 1959)을 사용해왔다. 하지만 많은 연구에서 이러한 Elder의 이론식이 종 분산계수를 과소산정 할 우려가 있다고 제시했다. 따라서 하천의 전단류 분산특성을 나타낼 수 있는 데이터 확보를 통해 종 분산계수의 경험식 산정 및 횡 분산계수의 정확도 향상이 필요한 상황이다. 본 연구에서는 기존 선행 연구에서 수행된 2차원 추적자실험 데이터의 확장을 위해 오버샘플링 기법을 적용하였으며, 이를 통한 머신러닝을 통한 분산계수 산정 가능성을 분석하고자 한다. 부족한 추적자 실험 데이터를 확장하기 위해 오버샘플링 기법 중 SMOTE 기법을 활용했다. 오버샘플링 기법을 이용하여 생산된 데이터의 신뢰성을 검증하였으며, 추후 머신러닝을 이용한 2차원 종, 횡 분산계수 산정에 대한 활용 가능성을 분석했다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to create the deveopment plan for promotion of advanced disaster-safety awareness, which is noted as a major factor in the large disaster. Method: This study is to conduct theoretical review with regard to disaster management and safety awareness. Consciousness surveys on safety awareness and previous disaster case was analyzed to derive the cause of the disaster, and the development plan for promotion of advanced disaster-safety awareness was suggested. Result: In the survey on the public's sense of safety on the disaster management evaluation, 'Response' stage was well performed, but the 'Recovery' stage was not. Especially, it was found that disaster safety education at the 'Prevention' stage was very lacking. In the survey on the public's safety awareness, the awareness level of the evacuation facility was very low, information on infectious diseases and collapse accident was insufficient. Especially, it has been found that the awareness on safety regulation in daily life is very insufficient. Through the case study on previous disaster(COVID-19, Fire in Miryang Sejong Hospital, Forest fire in the east coas at 2004'), it was derived that the lack of safety awareness(such as safety insensitivity) was the main factor of the expansion of the damage scale. Conclusion: The development plan for promotion of advanced disaster-safety awareness are as follow. First, it is necessary to spread the safety culture movement through the expansion of safety education and safety promotion. Second, disaster confrontation training for the public should be implemented to improve the effectiveness of disaster response. Finally, it is necessary to change the individual awareness on safety. When these factors are implemented systematically, advanced disaster-safety awareness can be promoted. Ultimately, disaster accidents in our society can be reduced.

It is important to secure the golden time of emergency vehicles for quick responses in disaster situations, such as fire, rescue, and first aid. This study proposes plans Emergency Vehicle Preemption (EVP) based on the analysis of emergency vehicle operation to secure the golden time of emergency vehicles and increase driving safety. The emergency vehicle dispatch statistics, emergency vehicle traffic accident statistics, and survey were used for the analysis. As a result of the analysis, the frequency of dispatch of emergency vehicles and traffic accidents are increasing gradually, but the rate of securing the golden time of emergency vehicles is approximately half, indicating that improvement measures are urgent. In the questionnaire survey, most citizens consent to the necessity of introducing EVP. In addition, the criteria for the range of emergency vehicles that could provide EVP and the allowable time for waiting were derived. These results could be used to prepare EVP operation strategies, and it is expected to contribute to improving emergency vehicle operation safety and increasing the golden time securing rate through a rapid expansion of EVP.

Recently, the US and EU have been institutionally introducing and promoting Coordinated Vulnerability Disclosure(CVD) to strengthen the response to security vulnerabilities in ICT products and services, based on collaboration with white-hat hackers. In response to these changes in cybersecurity, we propose a three-step approach to introduce CVD through the Information and Communications Network Act(ICNA). In the first step, to comprehend the necessity and requirements for legislating CVD, we survey the current situation in Korea and the trends of CVD in the US, EU, and OECD. In the second step, we analyze the necessity for legislating CVD and derive the requirements for its legislation. In this paper, we analyze the necessity for legislating CVD from three perspectives: the need for introducing CVD, the need for institutionalization based on law, and the suitability of the ICNA as the legislation. The derived requirements for CVD legislation include the establishment and publication of Vulnerability Disclosure Policy(VDP), legal protection for white-hat hackers, and designation and role assignments of coordinator. In the third step, we introduce approaches to apply the requirements for CVD legislation to the ICNA, which is the law governing prevention and response to cybersecurity incidents in private sector.

This study selected the worst-case scenario for fireball and vapor cloud explosion (VCE) of a styrene monomer storage tank installed in a petrochemical production plant and performed damage prediction and accident impact analysis. The range of influence of radiant heat and overpressure due to fireball and vapor VCE during the abnormal polymerization reaction of styrene monomer, the main component of the mixed residue oil storage tank, was quantitatively analyzed by applying the e-CA accident damage prediction program. The damage impact areas of radiant heat and explosion overpressure are analyzed to have a maximum radius of 1,150m and 626m, respectively. People within 1,150m of radiant heat of 4kW/m2 may have their skin swell when exposed to it for 20 seconds. In buildings within 626m, where an explosion overpressure of 21kPa is applied, steel structures may be damaged and separated from the foundation, and people may suffer physical injuries. In the event of a fire, explosion or leak, determine the risk standards such as the degree of risk and acceptability to workers in the work place, nearby residents, or surrounding facilities due to radiant heat or overpressure, identify the hazards and risks of the materials handled, and establish an emergency response system. It is expected that it will be helpful in establishing measures to minimize damage to workplaces through improvement and investment activities.
