A hypothetical accident in the containment vessel of liquid metal reactor could cause a pressure, temperature rise, and a strong aerosol release. The computer codes relating to the modelization of these accident make it necessary to use various input parameter, among which is the dynamic shape factor of aerosols produced. Combustion experiments of sodium spray fire carried out in a closed vessel, which was vertical cylinder made of 1.2m in diameter and 1.8m hight with a volume of 1.7$m^3$. The results of theoretical analysis presented here was compared to data obtained from experiments. The experimental results were summarized as follows. 1) The aerodynamic diameter and geometric diameter of aerosols are decreasing with increasing of injection pressure and injection temperature of sodium 2) The dynamic shape factor of aerosol is proportional to the aerodynamic diameter for a given particle. 3) The correspondence between the aerodynamic diameter and geometric diameter can be as $D_{ae}=0.70 D_{ge}$. 4) Peak pressure rose with increase in pressure and temperature of injection sodium, being more sensitive to the injection pressure than the injection temperature.

The result were achived from 29 kinds of the medical literature of many generation is like this. 1. Oriental medical expressions of Xerophthalmia are "Baksab(白澁)", "Kunsabhonhwa(乾澁昏花)", "Sinsoojanggo(神水將枯)", "Donginkunkyul(瞳人乾缺)", "Taljung(奪精)", etc. "Baksab(白澁)" is very close to Xerophthalmia. 2. The cause of Xerophthalmia is Wind, Wind-heat Pathogen, Damp-heat of spleen and lung, DefIciency of body fluid, Yin-deficiency of liver and kidney, Liver deficiency syndrome, Deficiency of blood, Fire, Fire of deficiency type, Liver heat, etc. 3. In the frequency of prescription used Xerophthalmia are "Sangbakpi-Tang(桑白皮湯)", "Eunkyosan(銀翹散)", etc as Excess type, "Kikookjihwang-Tang(杞菊地黃湯)", "Samooloja hwan(四物五子丸)", etc as Deficiency type. 4. In the frequency of medical herbs of Xerophthalmia use much Rehmannia root nourishing Yin and clearing away heat and Divaricate Saposhnikovia root(expelling pathogenic wind.

Three phase heaters in 7 buildings of 2 sites were examined for precise diagnosis. The sample size was 626. Precise examinations of current and the heater wiring status revealed contact failures and arcs in equipments that had CUF larger than 10%. Contact failures and arcs may cause electrical fire. Therefore, the correlation between the CUF and the imperfections in heater equipment and its wiring was analyzed for three phase heaters. In addition, the protection devices used for detection of heater imperfections were found to be unsuitable for the purpose. Current status of the protection devices was analyzed, and suggestions for improvements were made for new standards of the protection device selection.

Recently, Concerns of imbalance for power supply has been raised by the increase of electric power consumption, but the interest of electric safety is still lacking due to the incompleteness of regulations. Particularly, Arcing fault, direct cause of electric fire accidents, is difficult to detect, interrupt due to unformal signal behaviour in previous research and apply to real system. In this paper, Arcing fault simulator device was fabricated to investigate the characteristics of series arcing fault and simulated the faults in various real load. Also, this study are analysed arcing fault signal by using the harmonic analysis of the acquired data from the current of the power supply and proposed the methods to prevent the series arcing fault accidents in advance.

Organic insulating materials can cause fatal toxic gases when burned, which can lead to human injury. As a combustible material, the risk of fire spreading is great. Therefore, there is a need for a study on the lightweight cured body for the non-combustible inorganic insulation to replace the flammable organic insulation. This study aims to examine the properties of lightweight foamed concrete according to the dilution concentration of animal foaming agent which forms a closed void when foaming as a part of the experiment to examine the utility of the lightweight foamed concrete as an insulating material. Bubbles occupy a large volume of lightweight foam concrete and have a great influence on the properties. Therefore, the stability of the bubble is very important, and as a result of the experiment, it is determined that 3% of the smallest vesicles are prepared at the proper dilution concentration.

A squid gill-net fishing vessel Jayueoroho which was being insured ITC-Hulls and was laid up long period illegally under the condition of unmanned in the Pert of Kamcheon. On 30, March, 1993, the fishing vessel moved out toward the high sea by assistance of two tugboats, 12 miles southeast from Teajongdae, to discharge sewage. At that time the shipowner, the skipper, chief engineer and two labourers were boarding, and a fire was broken out by electric leakage at sea. For all their efforts of fire-fighting operation the fishing vessel foundered with explosion. In this case, she had been breached the warranties of legality, especially Korean maritime acts concerned, and the warranties of seaworthiness(MIA 39(5)) as attributable cause because of unmanned on board by wilful misconduct of the insured. Therefore it is prima facie evidence that the insurer is not liable for any loss attributable to the wilful misconduct and breach of warranties of the insured in MIA 1906.

An accurate knowledge of the AIT(Autoignition temperatures) of chemicals is important in developing appropriate prevention and control measures in industrial fire protection. The AITs describe the minimum temperature to which a substance must be heated, without the application of a flame or spark, which will cause that substance to ignite. The measurement AITs are dependent upon many factors. namely initial temperature. pressure, volume, fuel/air stoichiometry. catalyst material, concentration of vapor, ignition delay time. This study measured the AITs of acids from ignition delay time by using ASTM E659-78 apparatus which was produced in the year 1994. The experiment AITs were a good agreement with the calculated AITs by the proposed equations with a few A.A.P.E.(average absolute percent error) and A.A.D.(average absolute deviation).

Recent government policies are increasing interest in zero-energy housing, a building that minimizes energy consumption (90% reduction). As the importance of building passive performance is emphasized, the role of insulation is increasing as a way to reduce indoor heat loss in order to minimize the use of cooling and heating energy. There are two main types of insulation. Organic insulation is widely used for various construction structures such as construction and industrial due to some merits such as the convenience of construction and construction cost. However, it has been pointed out as a main cause every time a fire accident occurs, Jecheon Sports Center', the fire damage of buildings caused by the use of organic insulation materials is expanding to social problems, so it is urgent to research on nonflammable inorganic insulation materials.

Electrical fires have been occurred continuously in spite of installing ELB. Therefore the concern with the electrical arc-fault that cause the fire has growing. This paper measured series arc fault currents by the method of arc generator test in UL standard 1699. The used analysis methods in this paper are three different ways using DWT(discrete wavelet transform) those are frequently used for the arc fault current signal analysis. The arc fault detection probability is 100 % by method using noise-energy/shoulder-duration ratio of approximation coefficient. As these results, the variation of noise-energy and shoulder-duration ratio of approximation coefficient are founded important factors for the analysis of arc fault.

Forest Fire can cause a serious damage to overhead conductors. Therefore, the detailed investigation for the changes of mechanical and electrical properties of damaged conductors should be carried out to understand the effect of forest fires on conductors. This is very important to maintain transmission line safely. Specimenes for this study were Al conductores of ACSR $410mm^2$, ACSR 480 R and ACSR $240mm^2$. This paper describes the changes of mechanical and electrical properties of same flame exposed Al conductor. The detailed will be given in the text.
