A dynamic flow system has been developed which can be used for vacuum gauge calibration by comparison method - a calibration method in which the reading of the gauge under calibration is compared to another calibrated vacuum gauge called the "secondary standard" - and other vacuum-related experiments. The chamber of the calibration system is pumped by a turbomolecular pump (TMP), backed by a scroll pump. As maximum acceptable pressure at the inlet of a TMP is 0.1 Pa, above which the TMP decelerates, the pumping speed decreases and it becomes more difficult to adjust pressure under such circumstances. In the present work, high pressures of up to 133 Pa have been generated in the chamber of the newly developed dynamic flow control system by installing a well-designed conductance-reducer in the by-pass line and, at the same time, operating the TMP in safe mode. In addition, the gas flow and pressure distribution within the chamber have been investigated for the entire pressure range (0.1 Pa ~ 133 Pa) while generating pressure dynamically. Maximum deviations in pressure (1.6 %) were observed at point C on the chamber, which is close to the gas inlet port on the top of the chamber.

In this study, model tests were performed to evaluate the injection characteristics of cement grouting which was used as waterproof method for leakage of underground structures. To simulate in situ condition, model tests were performed with varying the ground conditions such as the kinds of test soils, soil density, water content, etc. and the injection conditions such as kinds of injection materials, injection pressure, injection quantity, injection velocity, etc. From the results of model tests, the major factors influencing the permeability of injection material were determined to be the kinds of soils and soil density. To obtain optimal injection effects, injection should be performed after investigating the condition of backside ground accurately.

반도체 소자의 소형화, 고질적화는 junction 깊이 감소와 도핑농도의 증가를 요구한다. 현재 상용화되는 도핑법은 이온빔 주입(Ion Beam Ion Implantation, IBII)인데, 이 방법은 낮은 가속에너지를 가하는 경우 이온빔의 정류가 금속이 감소해 주입 속도가 낮아져 대랑 생산이 어렵고 장비가 고가라는 단점이 있다. 하지만 플라즈마를 이용한 이온주입법 (Plasma Source Ion Implantation, PSII)은 공정 속도가 빠르고 제조비용이 매우 저렴해 새로운 이온주입법으로 주목받고 있다. PSII법에서 플라즈마 특성은 그 결과에 큰 영향을 미치므로 플라즈마 특성의 적절한 제어가 필수적으로 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 공정압력과 RF power를 변화시키며 플라즈마 밀도 측정했다. 그 결과 공정압력이 증가함에 따라서 플라즈마 밀도는 감소되었고 RF power 증가함에 따라서 플라즈마 밀도는 증가되었다.

본 연구는 이온주입(Ion Implanter)장비의 성능향상과 재현성 있는 Source Head를 개발하기 위한 방법이다. 본 개발은 이온주입설비가 가지고 있는 Cathode 열전자를 이용하여 원자라는 Source Positive의 극성을 생성하여 보다 높은 이온화를 발생하여 많은 시간 동안 사용 가능하도록 하였다. 기존에는 Gas의 손실이 많아 원자의 이온화에 대한 열전자의 소모성을 증가하는 원인을 제공하였으나, 본 개발에서는 원자의 유입방식을 공중 분산방식으로 적용함으로써 열전자의 손실로 발생하는 부분을 억제하는 효과와 Arc Chamber의 압력을 낮게 가지고 갈 수 있고 Chamber의 오염을 억제하는 효과를 얻을 수 있었다.

We simulated the fault reactivation experiment conducted at 'Main Fault' intersecting the low permeability clay formations of Mont Terri Underground Research Laboratory in Switzerland using TOUGH-FLAC simulator. The fluid flow along a fault was modelled with solid elements and governed by Darcy's law with the cubic law in TOUGH2, whereas the mechanical behavior of a single fault was represented by creating interface elements between two separating rock blocks in FLAC3D. We formulate the hydro-mechanical coupling relation of hydraulic aperture to consider the elastic fracture opening and failure-induced dilation for reproducing the abrupt changes in injection flow rate and monitoring pressure at fracture opening pressure. A parametric study was conducted to examine the effects of in-situ stress condition and fault deformation and strength parameters and to find the optimal parameter set to reproduce the field observations. In the best matching simulation, the fracture opening pressure and variations of injection flow rate and monitoring pressure showed good agreement with field experiment results, which suggests the capability of the numerical model to reasonably capture the fracture opening and propagation process. The model overestimated the fault displacement in shear direction and the range of reactivated zone, which was attributed to the progressive shear failures along the fault at high injection pressure. In the field experiment results, however, fracture tensile opening seems the dominant mechanism affecting the hydraulic aperture increase.

The utilization of underground spaces in relation to tunnels and energy/waste storage is on the rise. To ensure the stability of underground spaces, it is crucial to reinforce rock fractures and discontinuities. Discontinuities, such as joints, can weaken the strength of the rock and lead to groundwater inflow into underground spaces. In order to enhance the strength and stability of the area around these discontinuities, rock grouting techniques are employed. However, during rock grouting, it is impossible to visually confirm whether the grouting material is being smoothly injected as intended. Without proper injection, the expected increases in strength, durability, and degree of consolidation may not be achieved. Therefore, it is necessary to predict in advance whether the grouting material is being injected as designed. In this study, we aimed to assess the injection performance based on injection variables such as the water/cement mixture ratio, injection pressure, and injection flow using UDEC (Universal Distinct Element Code) numerical program. Additionally, numerical results were validated by the lab experiment. The results of this study are expected to help optimize variables such as injection material properties, injection time, and pump pressure in the grouting design in the field.

The concept of Hybrid Safety Injection Tank (Hybrid SIT) proposed by the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI) has been introduced for the purpose of application to the Advanced Power Reactor Plus (APR+). In this study, the SBO situation of the APR+ was analyzed by using the MARS-KS code in order to evaluate whether the operation of the Hybrid SIT has an effect on the cooling performance of the Reactor Coolant System (RCS). According to the analysis, when the actuation valve on the pressure balancing line (PBL) is opened, the Hybrid SIT's pressure rises rapidly, forming equilibrium with the RCS pressure; subsequently, a flow is injected from the Hybrid SIT into the reactor vessel through the direct vessel injection (DVI) line. The analysis showed that it is possible to keep the core temperature below melting temperature during the operation of a Hybrid SIT.

원자력발전소 화학 및 체적제어계통의 일부인 밀봉수주입계통은 원자로 냉각재펌프 밀봉장치로 일정한 온도 범위의 밀봉수를 공급하여 밀봉장치의 건전성 및 원자로 냉각재 계통의 압력경계를 유지한다. 그러나 발전소 과도상태시 밀봉수 주입온도가 허용범위를 벗어나게 되면 온도조절기 폐쇄신호에 의해 밀봉장치로의 밀봉수 주입이 차단될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 발전소 과도시에도 밀봉수 주입이 지속적으로 가능한 설계개선 방안으로 밀봉수주입 열교환기 주위에 우회라인을 설치하는 방안을 제시하고 밀봉수주입 열교환기 내에서의 비정상 열전달 현상을 수치해석을 이용하여 분석하였다. 계산은 속도장을 정상 상태인 power-law분포로 가정하고 시간 t=0에서 입구온도가 급격히 변하는 과도시 우회 유량 및 시간 변화에 대한 온도분포, 국부 Nusselt 수, 평균온도 등을 구하였다.

Pressure grouting is a common technique in geotechnical engineering to increase the stiffness and strength of the ground mass and to fill boreholes or void space in a tunnel lining and so on. Recently, the pressure grouting has been applied to a soil-nailing system which is widely used to improve slope stability. The soil-nailing design has been empirically performed in most geotechnical applications because the interaction between pressurized grouting paste and the adjacent ground mass is complicated and difficult to analyze. The purpose of this study is to analyze the increase of pullout resistance induced by pressurized grouting with the aid of performing laboratory model tests and field tests. In this paper, two main causes of pullout resistance increases induced by pressurized grouting were verified: the increase of mean normal stress and the increase of coefficient of pullout friction. From laboratory tests, it was found that dilatancy angle could be estimated by modified cavity expansion theory using the measured wall displacements. The radial displacement increases with dilatancy angle decrease and the dilatancy angle increases with injection pressure increase. The measured pullout resistance obtained from field tests is in good agreement with the estimated one from the modified cavity expansion theory.
