The pulished works on Accelerated Curing Effect were generally performed around from 1960 to 1970th century for 18 to 24 hours - total curing periods. It is not possible to define the effect of temperature rise because those results were obtaine mainly by using the manually operated steam-curing tank. Thus, it may not be available to apply those data immediately on the domestic PC wall production line. The testing specimens were made from the standard mix proportion according to those of domestic PC factories to establish a basic data for the Accelerated Curing Effect. The experimental tests were conducted according to the conditions of each sub-curing periods. By comparing the results of compression tests on de-molded and 28-day water-curing specimens, we find that the most effective curing condition to obtain more than the required design strength after 28 day of water curing may be as follows: the presteaming period does not affect seriously and less than$30^{circ}C/hr$- the rate of temperature rise andless than $82^{circ}C$ - maximum temperature are necessary. It seems that post-curing procedure is very important factor to increase the effect of accelerated curing.

고리 1호기는 한국에서 최초로 규제 기관에 계속운전을 신청한 원전이다. 2007년 6월에 설계 수명 기간 만료가 되는 고리 1호기는 규제 기관으로부터 계속운전(Continued Operation)에 대한 안전성 심사를 받고 있다. 한수원은 고리 1호기 계속운전 승인을 금년 12월에 받기 위해 최선을 다하고 있으며 지역 주민의 사회적 수용성 확보를 위해 노력중이다. 고리 1호기의 계속운전 기간 동안 안전성을 평가하고 정리한 안전성평가보고서를 한수원은 2006년 6월에 정부에 제출하였다. 고리 1호기는 웨스팅하우스의 2루프 가압경수로이다. 이와 동일한 원전인 일본의 미하마 1,2호기와 겐까이1호기가 계속운전중이며, 미국의 기네이와 포인트 비치 1,2호기가 계속운전 승인을 받았다. 제출한 안전성평가보고서에 대해 한국원자력안전기술원이 심사중이며, 해외 원전과 같이 계속운전을 할 수 있을 것으로 예상하고 있다. 또한 계속운전을 위한 사회적 수용성(Public Acceptance) 확보는 설비의 철저한 안전성 확보 및 지역 주민의 공감대 형성을 통해서 이루어질 것이다. 설계 수명 이후 원자력발전소를 계속 운전하는 것은 이미 선진국에서 시행되고 있다. 2007년 3월 기준으로 미국에서 48기가 운영 허가 갱신 승인을 받았고, 영국은 8기, 일본은 12기가 계속운전중이다. 고리 1호기 성능 지표를 개선시키기 위해서 한수원은 증기발생기, 저압 터빈, 원자로 냉각재 펌프 내장품, 주변압기, 주발전기 등을 교체하였으며, 수명관리 연구, 주기적안전성 평가, 환경 영향 평가를 수행하였다. 2005년 9월에는 미국의 운영 허가 갱신 제도를 참조하여 원자력법이 개정되었다. 이에 한수원은 개정된 원자력법에 맞추어 주기적 안전성평가, 주요 기기에 대한 수명 평가 및 방사능 환경 영향평가를 하였다. 이 세가지 보고서들로 구성된 안전성평가보고서를 2006년 6월에 규제 기관에 제출하였다. 계속운전은 한국을 비롯하여 부존 자원이 부족한 국가들에게는 에너지 자원의 효율적 활용 및 온실 가스 배출을 고려할 때 반드시 필요한 것이다.

로터-베어링축계는 증기및 가스터빈, 터보 발전기, 압축기등 거의 모든 산업 기계류에서 동력 전달의 기본 도구로써 사용되고 있다. 즉 회전에 의한 동력 의전달은 비교적 간단히 대용량의 동력을 효율적으로 전달할 수 있다. 이에 따라 회전기계류에 대한 연구는 산업 혁명 이후 꾸준히 발전되어 온바, 특히 근래에 들어와 산업기계류의 경쟁이 치열하여짐에 따라 산업기계류의 고정 밀화, 고속화, 고신뢰화 요구가 증대하고 있는 현실을 비추어 볼때, 산업 기 계류의 근간을 이루고 있는 로터-베어링 축계의 안정성을 포함한 진동에 관 한 문제는 회전기계류 설계의 주요 기술로써 연구.개발의 필요성이 매우 높 다 하겠다. 회전축계 진동 관련 연구는 두 분야로 대별될 수 있는데 언밸런 스(Unbalance)에 의한 Synchronous진동과 여러가지 원인에 의해 계의 불안 정성을 유발시키는 Nonsynchronous진동으로 나눌 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 이들 연구의 기본이 되는 회전축-베어링계 동특성 해석 프로그램을 개발하 였다. 여러가지 방법이 있으나 여기서는 Holzer가 비틀림 진동에 적용하고, Mykiestad(2)와 Prohl(3)에 의하여 회전축의 횡 진동에 적용된 이후 Lund(4) 등에 의하여 베어링의 영향등이 첨가된 전달 매트릭스 (Transfer Matrix) 방 법을 이용하여 임계속도(Critical Speed), 모우드 형태(Mode shapes)를 예측 하고 불안정 판정(Instability Criteria)등을 할 수 있는 프로그램을 개발하였 다. 특히 Murphy(1)의 다항식 방법(Polynomial Method)에 기본을 두어 기존 의 전달 매트릭스가 가지고 있던 반복, 수렴 시간 문제와 빠뜨리는 임계속도 예측에 대한 개선을 이루었으며 기존 논문과 실험 결과와의 비교 검토를 통 하여 개발된 프로그램의 신뢰성을 검토하였다. 특히, 각종 회전 기계의 소형 화, 경량화 추세에 따라 지반이나 케이싱이 경량이거나 유연하여 회전축과 동적으로 연성된 경우 회전축-베어링-지반으로 이루어진 2중구조의 회전축 계 동특성을 해석할 수 있는 프로그램을 개발하므로서 회전 기계류의 진동 전반에 걸친 문제점에 대한 그 원인과 현상을 명확히 분석하여 국내의 전기 계류의 보다 신뢰성있는 설계 및 제작자료를 확보하는데 기여할 수 있게 하 였다.

Loose parts monitoring system(LPMS), which is used to detect metallic loose parts in the nuclear power plant, plays an important role in safe and reliable operation of the plant. To prevent from the damage due to the loose parts, most domestic nuclear power plants are using, or planning to use LPMS. However, these LPMS's, which are all invented from overseas and thereby depend on the oversea technologies, are very expensive, and are known to be inefficient to diagnose loose parts due to the lack of fundamental know-how of LPMS. Therefore, the main purpose of this paper is to propose and to realize a new loose parts localization algorithm which is simple and efficient enough even for the inexperienced operators to diagnose loose parts accurately and promptly. Considering practical nuclear power plant circumstances, some simulations for estimating the loose parts location have been done. The results show that the proposed method, called a modified circle intersection method, performs high resolved loose parts localization with 3.4% of error.

Desiccation of a soil is basically the removal of water by evaporation, which is controlled by evaporativity and evaporability. Surface evaporation improves the trafficability which is essential for the access of construction equipment in the area reclaimed with soft clay. The existing traditional methods for evaluating evaporation can not account for the deformation of reclaimed soft soils during evaporation. Therefore, a theoretical model for predicting the rate of evaporation from the surface of a deformable material is proposed. The model is based on a system of equations for coupled heat and mass transfer in unsaturated soils. The modified pressure plate extractor test and glass desiccator test were carried out to obtain the soil-water characteristic curve for a deformable soil. The column drying test was conducted to investigate one dimensional water flow, heat flow and evaporation in the surface. A finite difference program was developed to solve the coupled nonlinear partial differential equations, which permit the study of water, vapor and heat flows in the deformable soil. Comparison between measured and simulated values shows a reasonably good matching between the two.

Biogas is a byproduct after anaerobic digestion of organic materials and has been used as an energy source for heating and generating electricity. Demands of methanol for fuel mixed with gasoline and reactant in biodiesel production are steadily being increased. In this review, we summarized recent advancements in direct partial oxidation of methane to methanol with the brief history of methanol synthesis. The steam reforming and the catalytic oxidation of methane to methanol were compared, the former of which are mainly used in industrial scale and the latter in a stage of research and development. On the basis of this review, the possibility of methanol conversion from biogas was proposed in the aspects of the technological feasibility and the economical practicability.

ZnS thin films were prepared on glass substrate at various deposition conditions by a HW apparatus and were systematically investigated the growth characteristics, in terms of deposition edges by a double beam spectro- photometer, and structural analysis by a x-ray diffraction rates were increased with incresing the cell temperature and vapor pressure of sulfur, but were decreased with increasing substrate temperature. The optical characteristics of thin films depends on the deposition rates. The band gap energies of 3.46∼3.52eV measured at room temperature are smaller than the theoretical value of 3.54eV, indicating that impurities exist in the crystal. All ZnS thin films are oriented in the (III) principal direction of a zincblende structure. By introducing the S vapor, optical and crystalline properties have been improved.

This fundamental study is to examine the significance and limitation of the fumed silica addition to enhance the early compressive strength gain and thermal conduction resistance of cement pastes. The fumed silica content varied from 0% to 1.6% of the cement content by wt% at an interval of 0.4%. Test results showed that the addition of fumed silica is favorable to enhancing the early strength gain of the cement pastes, indicating that 1-day compressive strength corresponded to 45% of the 28-day strength. This high-early strength gain rate is comparable to the trend commonly observed in steam-cured cement concrete. However, the addition of fumed silica little influenced the thermal conduction resistance of cement pastes.

In this paper, 3-dimensional electromagnetic numerical analysis is performed about the eddy current(EC) array probe characteristic which is the next generation probe for accurate diagnosis of steam generator(SG) in nuclear power plants(NPPs). ASME(American Society of Mechanical Engineers) Standard and X-probe combo calibration standard tube are selected for acquisition of eddy current testing(ECT) signals and this result of compared with the real test signals for reasonability of result. Based on the analysis result of calibration standard tube, ECT signals that are about the defects of pitting, stress corrosion cracking(SCC), multiple SCC and wear is obtained. Material of specimen was Inconel 600 which is usually used for SG tubes in NPPs. The operation frequency of 300 kHz were used. The signal characteristics could be observed according to the various defects. The results in this paper can be helpful when the ECT signals from EC array probe are evaluated and analyzed.
