The initial condition of a core transient should be consistent with real core state for the simulation of the core tansient. The initial xenon distribution, which can not be measured in the core, has a significant effect on the transient with xenon dynamics. In the simulation of the transient starting from non-equilibrium xenon state, the accurate initialization of the non-equilibrium xenon distribution is essential for the prediction of the core transient behavior. In this study, a xenon initialization method to predict the core transient more accurately was developed through the equivalent pre-xenon-oscillation which represents the tenon oscillation before the transient and verified by the application of the simulation for a startup test of Yonggwang Unit 3.

In this paper we have inferred the influence of Zeno on the construction of the potential infinite of Aristotle based on arguments of Zeno's paradoxes. When we examine the potential infinite of Aristotle as the basis of the ancient Greek mathematics, we can see that they did not permit the concept of the actual infinite necessary for calculus. The reason Why they recognized the potential infinite, denying the actual infinite as seen in Aristotle's physics could be found in their attempt to escape the illogicality shown in Zeno's arguments. Accordingly, this paper could provided one of reasons why the ancient Greeks had used uneasy exhaustion's method instead of developing the quadrature involving the limit concept.

제논이 내세운 역설에서 시작한 톰슨과 베나세라프의 초능력 작업 논의는 이제 그 논의 자체가 독립된 논의가 된 듯하다. 이 글에서는 그 초능력 작업이 톰슨이 말한 대로 불가능한가를 논의한다. 그래서 이 논의가 해결되기 위해서는 열린 문제 하나가 해결되어야 함을 지적한다. 따라서 이 논의가 제논의 역설을 충실히 반영하고 있는가 하는 점은 관심 밖이다.

최근에 환경친화적인 관점에서 많은 형태의 무수은을 이용한 형광램프가 연구되어오고 있다. 그 중에서도 제논을 이용한 형광램프는 수은을 대체하는 방전기체의 조건을 만족하고 있다. 따라서 제논을 이용한 면광원의 구동 시 지금의 수은이 들어간 광원의 구동에 있어서 안정기요건이 차이가 있으므로, 본 논문에서 제논을 이용한 면광원을 위한 안정기를 제안한다. 제안된 면광원 안정기는 크게 AC입력 측의 PFC (power factor correction)부분과 면광원을 구동하는 인버터 부분으로 구성되어있다. 특히, 인버터 부분에서는 제논 면광원의 특성에 대응하기 위해서 정전력회로, 아크 방지 기동회로 등이 포함되어 있다.

Measurement of xenon radioisotopes from nuclear fission is a key element for monitoring underground nuclear weapon tests. $^{131m}Xe$, $^{133}Xe$, $^{133}mXe$ and $^{135}Xe$ in the air can be detected via low background systems such as a beta-gamma coincidence counting system. Radioxenon monitoring is performed through air sampling, xenon extraction, measurement and spectrum analysis. The minimum detectable concentration of $^{135}Xe$ can be significantly variable depending on the sampling time, extraction time and data acquisition time due to its short half-life. In order to optimize the acquisition time with respect to certain experimental parameters such as sampling and xenon extraction, theoretical approach and experiment using SAUNA system were performed to determine the time to minimize the minimum detectable concentration, which the results were discussed.

Mercury-free lamp, external electrode fluorescent lamp (EEFL) which includes the xenon gas, is now going on the research for the replacement of mercury lamp. The densities of excited xenon atom in the $1s_4$ resonance state and the $1s_5$ metastable state are investigated in the EEFL by a laser absorption spectroscopy under various gas pressures. We have measured the absorption signals for both $1s_4$ resonance and the $1s_5$ metastable state in the EEFL by varying the discharge currents for a given pressure. This basic absorption characteristic is very important for improvement of the VUV luminous efficiency of the EEFL as well as plasma display panel.

본 논문은 일반조명용과 LCD Backlight에 적용 가능한 제논 유전체 장벽형 평판형광램프에 대한 연구이다. 일반적으로, 수은을 포함한 형광램프는 낮은 온도에서의 휘도문제와 상대적으로 긴 점등시간, 수명, 그리고 환경 문제가 있다. 이러한 문제점들을 해결하기 위해서 제논 유전체 장벽형 평판형광램프가 연구되었다. 100(W)급($384{\times}321{\times}10mm$)으로 제작된 램프는 AC 펄스 전압에 의해 균일도, 안정한 방전, 우수한 전기적 및 광학적 특성을 가진다. 더 높아진 효율은 빠른 상승시간을 가진 AC 펄스전압, 주파수와 듀티의 구동 최적화, 전극의 형상, 압력 최적화 등에서 얻어진다. 이 연구에서 제논 유전체 장벽형 평판형광램프는 90(%)의 균일 도에서 7,600(cd/$m^2$)의 휘도와 32[1m/W] 이상의 효율을 얻었다.

A Xenon feed system has been developed for a 300 W Hall-effect thruster intended for orbit maintenance of small satellite. The system can store about 2 kg of xenon gas at 150 bar and is capable of controlling the mass flow rate of the gas at 0.5 SCCM resolution. The performance of the system is verified with a laboratory experiment. It is confirmed that the operation of the feed system is successful at a pressure level of $1.0{\times}10^{-6}$ torr in the vacuum chamber.

In this paper, I propose the design technology of LLC resonant converter for the xenon flashlamp that is used to the solid state laser. Through the fabrication of 1.5kW large scale LLC resonant converter, the discharge characteristics are carried out, and introduce the new control method for limiting inrush current by the abrupt load current changes. The mathematical modeling for the lamp discharge includes the internal loss and lamp parameters. I propose the optimal method for the driving conditions of xenon flashlamp from the simulation results comparing the real measurements.

The Xenon spatial oscillation may give rise to operational difficulties in a nuclear power plant. In this study, in order to investigate the Xenon instability for a PWR, the frequency-domain technique is adopted by using Generalized Nyquist Criterion, which is more general and suitable for the multi-input/multi-output system. Also linearized modal fluxes are obtained by a modal expansion. This model has been implemented to test the axial Xenon stability of YGN-1 unit against the changes in plant operating parameters ; power level, control rod position, and core average burnup. The results show that the increase of power level and the deeper insertion of control rod have the destabilizing effect, and that the burnup progress makes the core less stable. Also the results show that the overestimation due to modal interaction was found not to be significant.
