Recently, because the wet pool storage facilities of NPPs in Korea has become saturated, there has been much active R&D on an interim dry storage system using a transportation and storage cask. Generally, the shielding evaluation for the design of a spent fuel transportation and storage cask is performed by the design basis fuel, which selects the most conservative fuel among the fuels to be loaded into the cask. However, the loading of actual spent fuel into the transportation metal cask is not limited to the design basis fuel used in the shielding evaluation; the loading feasibility of actual spent fuel is determined by the shielding evaluation that considers the characteristics of the initial enrichment, the maximum burnup and the minimum cooling period. This study describes a shielding analysis method for determining the minimum cooling period of spent fuel that meets the domestic transportation standard of the dual purpose metal cask. In particular, the spent fuel of 3.0~4.5wt% initial enrichment, which has a large amount of release, was evaluated by segmented shielding calculations for efficient improvement of the results. The shielding evaluation revealed that about 81% of generated spent fuel from the domestic nuclear power plants until 2008 could be transported by the dual purpose metal cask. The results of this study will be helpful in establishing a technical basis for developing operating procedures for transportation of the dual purpose metal cask.

The aging and declining agricultural population in the modern society requires improvement of the agricultural environment and is one of the representative problems. And since most of the work systems always require a transport work, the ratio of labor consumed in the transport work is very high. Accordingly, many types of transport vehicles are being developed and sold, and in the early days, most of them are powered transport vehicles using fossil fuels. However, it is paying attention to next-generation eco-friendly energy such as hydrogen, fuel cells, solar power, and bio due to the strengthening of international environmental regulations such as global warming and the Convention on Climate Change and the depletion of fossil fuels. Therefore, in this study, the ultimate goal is to develop an eco-friendly, easy-to-operate, safe agricultural electric vehicle that replaces fossil fuels. It was designed with a focus on controlling a wide range of vehicle speeds and securing stability of electric agricultural vehicles. Considering the performance and design, it is composed of a frame, a driving part, a steering part, and a controller system, and we are going to review and manufacture each part. It is believed that the manufactured electric vehicle for agriculture can be easily and conveniently operated in an agricultural society where young manpower is scarce, and can be helpful to the agricultural society through high efficiency.

KHNP(Korea Hydro and Nuclear Power Ltd., Co.) is developing a HIC transport package which is satisfying domestic and IAEA regulations and NETEC(Nuclear Environment Technology Institute) is conducting a conceptual design. In this study, the shielding thickness was calculated using the data from radionuclide assay program which is currently using in nuclear sites and Micro Shield code. Considering the structural safety, carbon steel was chosen as shielding material and the shielding thickness was calculated for 500 R/hr and 100 R/hr at HIC surface, respectively. Through the shielding analysis, it was evaluated that the regulation limit is satisfied when the shielding thickness is 22 cm for 500 R/hr and 17 cm for 100/hr.

Radioactive material is used in the various fields. The numbers of transport for radioactive material have been gradually increased in both domestic and International regions. The safety of the cask should be secured to safely transport of radioactive material. The korean atomic law and the IAEA safety standards prescribe regulations lot the safe transport of radioactive material The cask for spent fuel is comprised of the body and the impact limiter. In this study, the empirical equation of the cask impact force is proposed based on the dimensional analysis. Using this empirical equation the characteristics of the impact limiter are analyzed. The results are also validated by comparing with the previous results of the impact area method and the finite element analysis. The present method can be used to predict the impact force of the cask.

The chief mourners do their best to carry the dead and various things related to him in the departure of a funeral procession. "Sejongsillok" and "Gukjooryeui" had already written the national funeral supplies for carriage in detail in the early of Joseon period. But they were the standard book of national ceremony. The Ilbang of Gukjangdogam made the national funeral supplies for carriage in the late of Joseon; Daeyeo, Gyeonyeo, Yoyeo, Chaeyeo, Gaja etc. "Gukjangdogamuigye" explained these in detail; size, materials, made-place etc. I used "Gukjangdogamuigye" published in the late of Joseon to explain the national funeral supplies for carriage. Because Kingdom's ceremony in Joseon was representative to the country, it couldn't depend on an individual taste. King was the symbol of a nation and the star tin point of the political power at that time. So its ceremony was to show people the representative example as a national ceremony. The national funeral supplies for carriage carried the dead of King and various things related to him. Gukjangdogam managed them carefully. People thought that the mean of these things was equal to King's authority at that time. So these weren't the mere national funeral supplies for carriage, the symbolic instruments equal to King.

현재 화합물 반도체 나노구조는 적외선 검출기, 레이저, 발광 다이오드, 단전자 트랜지스터, 태양전지 등과 같은 고효율 광전자 소자에서의 응용을 위해 활발한 연구가 진행 되고 있다. 특히 양자점은 3차원으로 구속되어 있는 상태 밀도를 갖고 있어 레이저 응용 시 낮은 문턱 전류 밀도, 높은 이득, 높은 열적 안정성을 기대되고 있다. 하지만 양자점의 크기가 불규칙적이고 운반자 수집의 한계로 인하여 기대 이하의 온도 안정성을 갖고 있어 이를 극복하기 위해 양자점의 크기와 운반자 수집을 제어하기 위해 다양한 방법이 연구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 분자 선속 에피 성장법(Molecular Beam Epitaxy; MBE)과 원자 층 교대 성장법(Atomic Layer Epitaxy; ALE)으로 크기가 다른 CdTe/ZnTe 이중 양자점을 ZnTe 장벽층의 두께에 변화하면서 성장 후 광학적 특성을 연구하였다. 저온 광루미네센스 측정(Photoluminescence; PL) 측정 결과 장벽층 두께가 작아질수록 작은 양자점의 광 루미네센스의 세기가 감소하면서 큰 양자점의 세기가 증가하는 것을 관찰할 수 있었는데, 이는 장벽층 두께가 작아질수록 작은 양자점의 운반자들이 큰 양자점으로 이동되는 양이 많아지기 때문이다. 또한 장벽층 두께가 작아질수록 큰 양자점의 반치폭(Full Width at Half Maximum; FWHM)이 단층 양자점의 반치폭 보다 감소하는 것을 관찰 할 수 있었는데 이는 작은 양자점과 결합된 큰 양자점이 작은 양자점의 strain을 받아 크기의 균일함이 증가했기 때문이다. 이와 같은 결과 두 양자점이 결합된 이중 양자점 구조가 단층 양자점의 한계인 운반자 수집과 크기의 균일함을 향상할 수 있는 좋은 구조임을 제시하고 있다.

We present a case of a young female patient with fulminant hepatitis who showed an altered biodistribution of Ga-67, after being scanned twice at 10 month intervals. On initial scan, uplake of Ga-67 was increased in the liver, kidneys, and skeletons. Increased hepatic Ga-67 uptake may be explained by increased transferrin unbound Ga-67 that was taken up by the inflamed liver. The saturation of iron-binding proteins due to multiple transfusions may lead to increased renal and skeletal Ga-67 uptake. On follow-up scan hepatic Ga-67 uptake was markedly increased. Also increased Ga-67 uptake in the axial skeleton and normalized renal uptake were shown. The findings were consistent with iron deficiency anemia. This case demonstrates altered Ga-67 biodistribution associated with multiple transfusions, fulminant hepatitis, and iron deficiency anemia.

The standard work report for trucks was developed that records data on truck haulage operations in open-pit and underground mines, and to evaluate the performance of haulage operations. Work reports used in 5 mines in Korea was secured and analyzed, and items to be included in the standard work report were determined. By analyzing the formulas for key performance indicators (KPIs) proposed by the Global Mining Guidelines Group (GMG), it was possible to determine how to record time-related data. After selecting a limestone underground mine as a research area, the performance of haulage operations was evaluated using a standard work report. As a result, in terms of truck availability, uptime was 46.7%, and both physical and mechanical availability were 100%. In the case of utilization, use of availability was 88.2%, the asset utilization was 41.1%, and operating and effective utilization were 88.2% and 79.2%, respectively. Also, in terms of efficiency, operating efficiency was found to be 89.9%.
