We presented a hydrodynamic modeling necessary to accurately reproduce shock-induced detonation of pyrotechnic initiator. The methodology for such numerical prediction of shock propagation is quite straight forward if the models are properly implemented and solved in a well-formulated shock physics code. A series of SSGT(Small Scale Gap Test) and detailed hydrodynamic simulation are conducted to quantify the shock sensitivity of an acceptor that contains 97.5% RDX. A TBI(Through Bulkhead Initiator) system, consisting of a train configuration of Donor(HNS+HMX) - Bulkhead(STS) - Acceptor(RDX), were investigated to further validate the interaction between energetic and non-reactive materials for predicting the detonating response for successful operation of such small pyro device.

In general, pyroshock is generated from the actuation of separation devices for several stage, fairing, and satellite separation in the flight of a launch vehicle. During these events, transient vibration phenomenon called pyroshock, which shows large acceleration in the high frequency range, occurs and it can result in the malfunction of electronic components which is equipped inside the launch vehicle or satellite. In this paper, mesh washer isolators made out of SMA were introduced for the isolation of pyroshock. One type of isolator primarily used pseudoelastic characteristics of SMA and the other type of isolator used shape memory effect of SMA. For the study of basic load-displacement relationship of each SMA isolator, compressive loading tests were performed and the results showed the capability of the isolator itself. Pyroshock isolation tests were followed and verified the outstanding isolation performance of isolator. In addition, random vibration tests were also performed and checked the dynamic characteristics of each SMA isolator.

Bentonite buffer material is an important component of engineered barrier designed for the safe disposal of high-level radioactive waste. Under certain groundwater conditions, erosion or piping phenomena of the material can happen, which may compromise the overall safety of the whole engineered barrier system. Previous domestic researches related to it have been conducted at a laboratory scale so that those are subject to some limitations, despite their valuable results. Therefore, KAERI (Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute) has planned the BEPT (Bentonite Erosion and Piping Test) to extend and validate the previous works at a field conditions. Prior to detailed experimental design, case studies that had been conducted by leading countries in disposal research were collected and analyzed. The analyses included suitable site conditions and system design, which were incorporated into the detailed design of BEPT. This technical report aims to introduce the previous researches and the current status of the ongoing BEPT experiment.

Torque characteristics of a turbopump turbine was analyzed using the turbine performance test result. Specific torque of the subject turbine could be expressed as a linear function of corrected rotor speed at a fixed pressure ratio and it has been confirmed by the test result. It also found that corrected rotor speed-specific torque characteristics does not change anymore if the turbine pressure ratio is set bigger than a certain value. Using the turbine torque characteristics and pyro-starter performance test results, rotational speed development behavior of the turbopump was predicted. Prediction revealed that the lap time reaching 50% of turbopump design speed is less than 0.7 second. Effect of the thermal loss between pyro-starter and turbopump was negligible.

The present work has been developed the study of interpretation of separation behavior in gas expansion separation(GES) bolt which has the separation characteristics without fragmentation and minimum pyre-shock during the operation of the explosive bolt. In order to obtain the performance of minimum pyre-shock, the present work used non-compressive material instead of separation explosives. The use of the interpretation processor could be extensively helped to design the shape and the amount of explosives in the explosive bolt having complex geometry, and to analyse the separation behavior during the operation. It is also proved that the GES bolt is the most suitable the separation system necessary to minimum pyre-shock and non fragmentation compare with others.

Ce-pyrochlore (CaCe $Ti_2 $O_7)was synthesized to study its properties and phase relations in CaO-Ce $O_2$-Ti $O_2$ system because Ce-pyrochlore was known as a promising material for the immobilization of radioactive actinide. The samples were prepared from the high purity starling materials under the pressure of 200~400 kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$ at room temperature, and annealed at 1000~ 150$0^{\circ}C$. The Synthesized samples were analysed and indentified with XRD and SEM/EDS methods. The optimal formation condition of Ce-pyrochlore was at 130$0^{\circ}C$ under $O_2$ atmosphere and the chemical composition of it wasCa$Ca_{1-x}Ti_{2-y}O_{7-x-2y}$(x=0.03-0.05, y=0.02~0.04) At temperature between 130$0^{\circ}C$ 140$0^{\circ}C$, Ce-pyrochlore underwent rapidly the incongruent decomposition to perovskite. Ce-perovskite, a partial solid solution between perovskite and loparite (C $e_{0.66}$Ti $O_3$), was observed as a major phase above 140$0^{\circ}C$.>.

Nowadays, the world has suffered by natural disaster of climate change due to global warming. Korea has also faced with similar situation. To prevent these natural disaster, Four Major River Management has conducted. One of conducted content in Four Major River Management is the levee maintenance which classified into fill-up the inland, levee of reinforcement and so on. These maintenances may make the characteristics of groundwater flow change and affect to the levee safety (piping phenomenon). Therefore, analysis on groundwater fluctuation according to level of riverside and inland should be required. This study focus on levee of Hoe stream, which is connected to Nakdong river, and piping safety factor in the levee analyzed by using pore water pressure. Besides, groundwater fluctuation, which is depended on level of riverside and inland, is simulated by using the SEEP/W (2D ground water model). This simulation considered steady flow and unsteady flow. As a result, piping safety factor increased due to rising the inland level. Piping safety factor of riverside was effected by only river water level. Therefore, external levee factor considering inland level raising and suitable control of river water level is need to increase piping safety factor.

흙필터는 일반적으로 침식이나 파이핑으로부터 지반 구조물을 보호하기 위하여 사용된다. 세립자들이 유동하여 필터에 퇴적하는 폐색현상이 발생하는 경우, 간극수압이 증가하고 이로 인해 지반구조물의 불안정을 유발시키게 된다. 미세입자의 유동에 의한 폐색현상은 옹벽의 뒤채움재에 설치한 필터, 흙댐의 저부에 설치된 필터, 그리고 터널의 라이닝 뒤에 설치한 필터 등에서 발생할 수 있다. 폐색현상은 필터의 투수능을 저하시켜 배수능력에 상당한 위험을 초래할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 필터의 폐색으로 인한 투수능 저하 정도를 실험을 통해 관찰하고 이론적인 모델을 통해 정량화 시키고자 하였다. 일정한 농도의 현탁액이 필터로 유입되는 분리형 실험과 현장상태를 모사하는 흙-필터 시스템의 결합형 실험을 통해 투수능의 저하현상이 압력 제어조건과 유량 제어조건에서 관찰되었고, 서로 비교 분석되었다. 미세입자가 통과하는 필터의 간극을 모세관으로 가정한 후 모세관에서 유체의 흐름 원리를 이용하여 물리적인 폐색에 의해 발생하는 투수능 저하현상을 이론적인 모델로 구성하였다. 일반적으로 투수능은 1/10 수준으로 감소되었으며, 분리형 실험에 의한 결과와 이론적인 모델의 결과는 잘 일치하였다. 또한, 결합형 실험결과와 분리형 실험결과가 비교적 잘 일치하여 투수능 저하예측은 분리형 실험이나 이론적 모델에 의하여 가능하리라 판단되었다.

인구증가와 발전으로 도시 집중화 현상에 따라 수도의 수요증가가 가속화되는 상태이다. 특히 물 부국현상 및 수질악화로 인한 수원확보도 어려워지고 있는 실정이다. 누수로 인한 막대한 손실을 줄이고자 컴퓨터와 인터넷을 이용하여 누수가 발생할 경우, 누수 여부를 판단하고 중앙모니터링 센터에서 관리할 수 있는 시스템이 필요하다. 따라서 누수를 탐지할 수 있는 구체적인 알고리즘이 필요하고, 전체 감지 시스템을 어떻게 구성할 것인지에 대한 설계가 필요하다. 이것을 가능하게 하는 핵심요인 중에 하나는 TDR 기술을 사용한 누수감지 시스템이다. 본 논문에서는 TDR기술을 이용하여 누수 감지시스템을 제안하고 유효성을 입증하기 위해 파이로트 시스템을 구축하여 시뮬레이션 하였다.
