산불로 인한 피해는 비단 산림뿐만 아니라 산림인접지 가옥, 사찰과 같은 건축물에서도 발생된다. 특히, 사찰은 국보뿐만 아니라 다양한 문화재를 보유하고 있어 산불로 인해 소실될 경우 문화 자산의 피해가 불가피하다. 이에 국보보유사찰, 문화재 다량보유사찰, 조계종 교구 본사, 세계문화재 등재 사찰 등을 포함한 우리나라 주요사찰 42개소에 대해 미국 Firewise 및 캐나다의 Firesmart에서 제시한 산림인접지 시설물의 위험성 평가 방법을 기반으로 체크리스트 기법을 이용하여 '사찰 산불 위험성 평가'를 실시하였다. 체크리스트 주요 항목은 크게 입지 여건, 임상 및 산림과 사찰의 이격거리, 산불발생 개연성, 사찰 주변 가연물 화재위험성, 적정소방시설 여부, 기타 화재방지를 위한 시설물 평가 등 총 6개 항목으로 구분하여 26개 세부항목을 작성, 평가하였다. 정성적 위험성 평가 결과, 산불로 인한 화재 위험성이 높은 사찰과 산불피해 저감 대책을 제시하였고 향후, 정량적 위험성 평가를 통한 위험관리 모델 제시에 관한 연구를 수행하고자 한다.

Demand for hydrogen as a renewable energy resource is increasing. However, unlike conventional fossil fuels, hydrogen requires a dedicated refueling station for fuel supply. A risk assessment of hydrogen refueling stations must be undertaken to secure the infrastructure. Therefore, in this study, a risk assessment for hydrogen refueling stations was conducted through both qualitative and quantitative risk assessments. For the qualitative evaluation, the hydrogen dispenser module was evaluated as two nodes using the hazard and operability (HAZOP) analysis. The risk due to filter clogging and high-pressure accidents was evaluated to be high according to the criticality estimation matrix. For the quantitative risk assessment, the Hydrogen Korea Risk Assessment Module (Hy-KoRAM) was used to indicate the shape of the fire and the range of damage impact, and to evaluate the individual and social risks. The individual risk level was determined of to be as low as reasonably practicable (ALARP). Additional safety measures proposed include placing the hydrogen refueling station about 100m away from public facilities. The social risk level was derived as 1E-04/year, with a frequency of approximately 10 deaths, falling within the ALARP range. As a result of the qualitative and quantitative risk assessments, additional safety measures for the process and a safety improvement plan are proposed through the establishment of a restricted area near the hydrogen refueling station.

근래에 들어, ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) 기술을 비롯한 첨단 디지털 기술의 발전으로, 선박/해양 산업에서 운용되는 시스템들은 더욱 복잡하고 다양해지는 경향을 보이고 있으며, 첨단 시스템 운용의 증가는 기존에 경험하지 못한 새로운 위험에 대한 불안과 함께 더욱 체계적인 방식으로 이러한 위험을 분석 및 제어할 수 있도록 하기 위한 발전된 위험도평가 방법론 적용의 필요성을 야기하고 있다. 이 논문에서는 첨단 디지털 기술이 적용되는 자율운항선박에 대한 위험도평가 절차 및 방법론과 정성적 위험도평가(Qualitative Risk Assessment) 적용 사례를 소개하고자 한다. 자율운항선박의 정성적 위험도평가를 위하여 자율운항 시스템들이 탑재된 자율화 등급 3 수준의 가상 자율운항선박을 선정하고, 기존 유인선박의 운용에 필요한 다양한 기능들과 자율운항선박 운용에 필요한 기능들을 식별하여 비교분석 하였다. 또한, 자율운항선박의 운용에 필요한 다양한 기능들의 실패로 인하여 발생 가능한 위험시나리오들을 식별하고, 식별된 위험시나리오를 바탕으로 자율운항선박의 운용 안전성 향상을 위하여 추가 고려되어야 할 안전조치들을 식별하였다. 본 연구 결과는, 이후 연구 수행 계획인 자율운항선박에 대한 정량적 위험도평가 (Quantitative Risk Assessment) 방법론 개발을 위한 자료로 활용될 예정이다.

현 산업체에서는 사고를 미연에 방지하기 위해 다양한 위험성 평가기법을 이용하고 있다. 위험과 운전성 분석기법(HAZOP)은 대표적인 정성적 평가기법으로 체계적인 연구가 가능하며 brain-storming에 의한 폭넓은 평가 결과를 얻을 수 있으므로 화학 공장에서 널리 사용된다. 그러나 HAZOP Analysis는 여러 분야의 전문가들이 위험성 평가를 시행하여야 하기 때문에 상당한 비용과 노력, 시간이 필요하고 전문가의 자질과 컨디션이 결과에 영향을 미치므로 객관적인 신뢰도가 떨어지는 단점이 있다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하고자 하는 노력으로 HAZOP Analysis 자동화를 위한 연구가 지금까지 활발히 전개되었으나 대부분이 연속 공정에 국한된 것이었다.

With the increased interest in reducing air pollution, supply of natural gas for gas vehicles is increasing. Thus, the number of establishments of LNG and CNG stations is increasing as well. However, due to major gas accidents such as the fire and explosion accident of a Bucheon LPG station in 1998, it is difficult to establish a new station. In this research, we conducted qualitative hazard analysis fer LCNG/LNG multi-station by using the K-PSR method and proposed recommendations for hazard mitigation.

Potential fire, explosion and safety hazards exist in medium- or small-scale chemical plants using radical batch reaction processes due to the various conditions of materials, works or products. To minimize the potential damage, a study was conducted on qualitative hazard analysis using the HAZOP technique, which is a typical method for a qualitative risk assessment and analysis of the potential risks encountered in these chemical plants. For this purpose, a domestic chemical plant, which produces the acrylic resin by a radical batch reaction process, was selected and a risk assessment and analysis according to the procedure of HAZOP method was performed for the process. As the result of the study, to prevent the hazard, the input of inert gas and the installation of a pressure gauge were indispensable. In addition, the initiator and monomer should also be separated, and inhibiting substances and equipment are also necessary to prevent a runaway reaction.

Hazard Analysis is one of the basic tasks to ensure the safety of chemical plants. However, it is an arduous, tedious, time-consuming work and requires multidisciplinary knowledge and demands considerable cognitive load from the analysts. To overcome these problems, there have been attempts to automate this work by utilizing computer technology, particularly in the area of knowledge-based technique. There is two methods in the risk assessment of Chemical plant; quantitative and qualitative risk assessment. Both of them have been applied respectively, but if the integrated method of quantitative and qualitative risk assessments is used, all of the advantage of two methods can be applied. It is difficult to carry out integrated risk management of chemical plant. Therefore, automated integration system of risk management is necessary. We developed S/W Automated System for Hazard Screening & Analysis(ASCA) and applied to practical plant. By applying ASCA to case study, we can get the information about relative ranks of equipments, variable deviation, and consequence of potential accident. In this study, we applied ASCA to the H.T.U(Hydrotreating Unit) of the process to produce aromatic material. We could know relative ranks of equipments, variable deviation of malfunction in storage tank, D-101, and consequence of potential accident using ASCA. If integrated risk management in the chemical plant is applied, we can develop the emergency plan and prevent the accident.

The decommissioning of nuclear power plants should be prepared by quantitative and qualitative risk assessment. Radiological and non-radiological hazards arising during decommissioning activities must be assessed to ensure the safety of decommissioning workers and the public. Decommissioning experiences by U.S. operators have mainly focused on deterministic risk assessment, which is standardized by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory commission (NRC) and focuses only on the consequences of risk. However, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has suggested an alternative to the deterministic approach, called the risk matrix technique. The risk matrix technique considers both the consequence and likelihood of risk. In this study, decommissioning stages, processes, and activities are organized under a work breakdown structure. Potential accidents in the decommissioning process of NPPs are analyzed using the composite risk matrix to assess both radiological and non-radiological hazards. The levels of risk for all potential accidents considered by U.S. NPP operators who have performed decommissioning were estimated based on their consequences and likelihood of events.
