Renewable energy refers to solar energy, biomass energy, hydrogen energy, wind power, fuel cell, coal liquefaction and vaporization, marine energy, waste energy, and liquidity fuel made out of byproduct of geothermal heat, hydrogen and coal; it excludes energy based on coal, oil, nuclear energy and natural gas. Developed countries have recognized the importance of these energies and thus have set the mid to long term plans to develop and commercialize the technology and supported them with drastic political and financial measures. Considering the growing recognition to the field, it is necessary to analysis up-to-now achievement of the government's related projects, in the standards of type of renewable energy, management of sectional goals, and its commercialization. Korean government is chiefly following suit the USA and British policies of developing and distributing renewable energy. However, unlike Japan which is in the lead role in solar rays industry, it still lacks in state-directed support, participation of enterprises and social recognition. The research regarding renewable energy has mainly examinedthe state of supply of each technology and suitability of specific region for applying the technology. The evaluation shows that the research has been focused on supply and demand of renewable as well as general energy and solution for the enhancement of supply capacity in certain area. However, in-depth study for commercialization and the increase of capacity in industry followed by development of the technology is still inadequate. 'Cost-benefit model for each energy source' is used in analysis of technology development of renewable energy and quantitative and macro economical effects of its commercialization in order to foresee following expand in related industries and increase in added value. First, Investment on the renewable energy technology development is in direct proportion both to the product and growth, but product shows slightly higher index under the same amount of R&D investment than growth. It indicates that advance in technology greatly influences the final product, the energy growth. Moreover, while R&D investment on renewable energy product as well as the government funds included in the investment have proportionate influence on the renewable energy growth, private investment in the total amount invested has reciprocal influence. This statistic shows that research and development is mainly driven by government funds rather than private investment. Finally, while R&D investment on renewable energy growth affects proportionately, government funds and private investment shows no direct relations, which indicates that the effects of research and development on renewable energy do not affect government funds or private investment. All of the results signify that although it is important to have government policy in technology development and commercialization, private investment and active participation of enterprises are the key to the success in the industry.

This study attempts to provide an efficient method for managing the Nuclear R&D projects. It should be noted that the technology and experiences to develop a well-balanced plan and mon-itoring for the R&D project are not yet well established when compared with the commercial con-structionand engineering projects. This study recommends that the R&D project manager utilize the scheduling techniques to establish an integral management system taking in to account the un-certainties in the research environment. Based upon the results of a case study for the Liquid Metal Reactor Design Technology Development Project which is led by the KAERI this study also con-firms that it is possible to run the national nuclear R&D projects with the Scheduling & Planning.

Researchers, institutes, and government involved in research & development (R&D) are faced with the problem of performing R&D project evaluations. As a real-word case of evaluation, we elicited and reproduced the evaluation process of the national nuclear R&D projects, using a specific case study of Korea. In the methodology, the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) is employed to evaluate and rank the selected nuclear R&D projects which have a wide range of evaluation objectives and characteristics. As a result, we obtained relative ranking for research projects and importance of evaluation criteria. The method and implications can be easily understood and applied by practitioners since it follows naturally the standard practice of evaluating and relative comparisons of performance using evaluation procedures. By applying particular R&D project output to the procedures, project evaluators can compare and prioritize evaluation objectives.

As gas hydrate is recently emerging as a new energy source to solve environmental and exhaustion problems caused by fossil energy, Korea is working on a gas hydrate development project under a 10-year plan from 2005 to 2014. Gas hydrate is expected to have a big effect on the economy and society of Korea, which is largely depending on energy imports besides water energy and atomic energy. However, it is uncertain whether the project will produce successful results. Thus, it is very important to improve its validity and to propose effective execution strategies by evaluating the value of the project in advance. Thus, this study intended to include new information, which had not been evaluated in existing methods, and to reduce biases or errors in value evaluation results by applying a fuzzy risk analysis to the real option model in order to evaluate the value of a gas hydrate development project. It is advantageous that the real option model based on the fuzzy risk analysis modelizes the vagueness and inexactness of intangible element judgment into an appropriate language scale so as to evaluate these elements clearly and integrate them with estimated financial performance results. The application of the fuzzy risk analysis makes it possible to conduct an analysis by dissolving a decision-making issue with complicated and various attributes into several simplified problems. With the continuing high oil prices and today's demand of clean energy, the necessity of energy resources and technology development projects keeps growing. Amid this situation, it is expected that these study results will contribute to proposing a guideline not only for gas hydrate projects but also for policy decision-making related to future energy industries.

OTS(Operator Training Simulator) 소프트웨어는 원자력발전소, 화력발전소 또는 화학공장 등과 같은 플랜트의 동적 특성을 실제의 플랜트와 같게 컴퓨터 환경을 이용하여 모의하는 기능을 수행한다. OTS 소프트웨어는 개발 규모가 방대하고 개발에 소요되는 시간과 비용부담이 큰 특징을 갖는다. 또한 플랜트 공정제어와 감시에 대한 전문지식이 요구된다. 따라서 OTS 소프트웨어 개발은 정부투자기관이나 연구기관의 자체인력을 활용하여 개발되어 왔다. 그러나, 최근에는 아웃소싱이 보편화됨에 따라 OTS 소프트웨어 개발 또한 외주개발 형태를 띄게 되었다. OTS 소프트웨어 외주개발은 소프트웨어 개발회사들에게 동등한 기회를 부여하기 위하여 일반적으로 2 단계 공개경쟁 형태로 프로젝트가 수행된다. 즉, 기술규격경쟁과 가격경쟁의 결과에 따라 외주개발 회사가 선정된다. 국내 소프트웨어 개발회사들의 경우에 OTS 소프트웨어 개발경험이 적으므로 OTS 소프트웨어 개발 프로젝트 수주를 위한 첫 번째 장벽은 발주자의 제안요청서에 합당하는 기술 제안서를 작성하여 OTS 소프트웨어를 개발할 수 있는 기술적 사업적 능력이 충분함을 입증하는 일이다 본 연구에서는 OTS의 유형과 특징, 프로젝트의 기술제안서 평가요소를 고찰하고 OTS 소프트웨어 개발에 참여하려 고 개발회사가 제안서를 작성 제출할 경우에 기술규격 경쟁에서 우위를 점할 수 있는 기술제안서 작성방안을 토의한다.

Nuclear Power Plant Instrumentation and Control System(NPP I&C) which is used to operate safely is changing from analog technology to digital technology. Ever since NPP Centrifuge of Iran Bushehr was shut down by Stuxnet attack in 2010, the possibility of cyber attacks against the NPP has been increasing. However, the domestic and international regulatory guidelines that was published to strengthen the cyber security of the NPP I&C describes security requirements and method s to establish policies and procedures. These guidelines are not appropriate for the development of real applicable cyber security technology. Therefore, specialized cyber security technologies for the NPP I&C need to be developed to enhance the security of nuclear power plants. This paper proposes a cyber security technology development system which is exclusively for the development of nuclear technology. Furthermore, this method has been applied to the ESF-CCS developed by The KINCS R&D project.
