Characteristics of poly(vinyl alcohol)-poly(methacrylic acid) system (PVA.-PMAA system) for fixation of radioactive contaminant on sand were studied. Dissociation of carboxyl group in PMAA was found to be suppressed by PVA Permeability of sand layer treated with PVA-PMAA solution is directly proportional to the PMAA concentration when the ［PMAA］ is below 0.082 M and the empirical proportional constant (k) is -8.95$\times$10￣$^4$cm$^{5}$ /mole. The change of permeability can be explained by the formation of an intermacromolecular complex between PVA and PMAA The polymer bridge formed on a sand surface combines sand yams more firmly. The PVA-PMAA system is more effective than the PVA system for the fixation of deposited condensational radionuclides.

The KSA caused an error in deriving the statistical measurement items due to the misconfiguration of the safety variables and sub-modules that constitute the safety statistics framework for external causes of death, and pathogenesis, without considering the academic classification system of the field and area of the disaster/accident. By naming it as a mechanism, it was analyzed that the result of poor statistical validity has arrived. Therefore, in this study, by changing the safety parameters according to the WHO safety definition and setting the sub-modules appropriately, the categories of falls, drowning accidents, and accidents exposed to inanimate mechanical forces are classified as accidents at industrial sites and work in daily life. As a result, by systematically re-establishing the complex group of statistical items of the NSO by deriving the field of disasters/accidents according to the nature of the source of external causes of death and setting the relevant domains academically, statistical validity gets better and It is anticipated to play an important role in determining the direction of safe investment.

In this research, we investigate the method to support decision making of researcher when they estimate the safety on the subway using AHP of Saaty. To apply this technique, we apply to subway system. The AHP suggested by Saaty in 1971 is a tool to support a decision-making including the personal opinion and intuition, and it is easier than other method. Then, it has an advantage that control the complex object having multiple criteria simply. And we suggest the eight stage of accident type and the five criteria that must meet. Based on AHP, we concluded a safety in subway is more important factor than any other factors including economic points of view.

Railway is facing a new era by the remarkable technology-intensive development of railways in the rolling stock and track, trains and infrastructure facilities. But the relevant provisions of the regulations for the various driving speed limit accept most of the past rules and it is desperately needed to realize the efficiency of the train operation. In addition, because the rules that drive too many treats of redundancy(the same information is duplicated in the other company policy provisions), they can cause confusion among employees, and also because of the contents of the detailed provisions dealing with almost same regulations, they can cause probable failure and big accident. In this study, the relevant provisions of the current rules are analyzed and overcome problems to improve efficiency and duplicated contents of relevant provisions to drive trains are merged. Also by reorganization of complex speed limits, we can understand easily when even the unusual situation and make a simple decision to prevent accidents. As a result, we can establish the system by doing subsequent actions quickly and accurately.

For preventing accident, the risk analysis about gas facilities has been more important since many gas facilities be superannuated. Especially, deriving and simulating risk is very important for preventing and corresponding accidents by means of specific analysis method in complex gas facilities. However, many studies have been not enough not yet in order to derive and simulate risk considering various situations. This paper aims to propose deriving and analyzing risk method around limited area of complex gas facilities. Our study proposes total risk analysis that is composed four methods with individual point of view. The risk analysis system based on RiskMAP immediately informs users changes of e risk in zones according to the status, work and surrounding conditions of the facility. The proposed methods in this research are implemented as software algorithm and applied to risk analysis system using RiskMAP in conjunction with IoT and GPS.

After the hydrogen fluoride leak in Gumi in 2012, the government has been systemizing the disaster management system, such as responding to and managing chemical accidents. In particular, the Ministry of the Interior and Safety (MOIS) is in charge of evacuation of residents following chemical accidents based on the Framework Act on Management of Disaster and Safety. In this study, an application plan was presented to support and utilize the decision-making support for evacuation of residents after a chemical accident using the chemical accident investigation equipment of the National Disaster Management Research Institute (NDMI). In the equipment operation system for scientific information collection due to chemical accidents, the roles and purpose of use of long/short distance measurement equipment were presented according to regular and emergency situations. Using the data acquired through long/short distance measurement equipment, it can be used as basic data for resident evacuation decision-making by monitoring whether chemicals are detected in an emergency and managing data on detected substances by company in a regular situation. As a result of measuring chemical substances in order to verify on-site usability by equipment only for the regular operation system, it was confirmed that real-time detection of chemical substances is possible with long distance measuring equipment. In addition, it was confirmed that it was necessary to check the measurable distance and range of the equipment in the future. In the case of short distance measurement equipment, hydrocarbon-based substances were mainly detected, and it was confirmed that it was measured at a higher level in Ulsan-Mipo National Industrial Complex than in Onsan National Industrial Complex. It is expected that it can be used as basic data to support decision-making in the event of chemical accidents through continuous data construction in the future.

Ships built today are larger in scale and feature more complex structures. The ever-evolving systems used on board a ship require vast amounts of data processing. In the future, with the advent of smart ships, unmanned ships and other next-generation ships, the volumes of data to be processed will continue to increase. Yet, to date, ship data has been processed using wired networks. Placed at fixed locations, the nodes on wired networks often fail to process data from mobile devices. Despite many attempts made to use Wi-Fi on ships just as on land to create wireless networks, Wi-Fi has hardly been available due to the complex metal structures of ships. Therefore, Wi-Fi on ships has been patchy as the ship-wide total Wi-Fi coverage has not properly implemented. A new ship-wide wireless network environment is part of the technology conducive to the shipbuilding industry. The wireless network environment should not only serve the purpose of communication but also be able to manage and control multiple features in real-time: fault diagnostics, tracking, accident prevention and safety management. To better understand the characteristics of wireless frequencies for ships, this paper tests the widely used TETRA, UHF and Wi-Fi and sheds light on the features, advantages and disadvantages of each technology in ship settings. The proposed deployment of a Super Wi-Fi network leveraging the legacy UHF system of TMS generates a ship-wide wireless network environment. The experimental findings corroborate the feasibility of the proposed ship-wide Super Wi-Fi network environment.

The government enacted and promulgated the 'Severe Accident Punishment Act' in January 2021 and is implementing this law. However, the number of occupational accidents in 2021 increased by 10.7% compared to the same period of the previous year. Therefore, safety measures are urgently needed in the industrial field. In this study, BLE Mesh networking technology is applied for safety management of high-risk industrial sites with poor communication environment. The complex sensor AIoT device collects gas sensing values, voice and motion values in real time, analyzes the information values through artificial intelligence LSTM algorithm and CNN algorithm, and recognizes dangerous situations and transmits them to the server. The server monitors the transmitted risk information in real time so that immediate relief measures are taken. By applying the AIoT device and safety management system proposed in this study to high-risk industrial sites, it will minimize industrial accidents and contribute to the expansion of the social safety net.

As the gas is manufactured, handled and used more often due to the continuous increase of gas, the related facility gets expanded and more complex causing small and big accident which causes economic loss including damage for humans and materials. The gas pipeline, the most common gas facility, has the biggest risk of accidents. Especially in the urban area and densely populated areas, the accident due to the high pressure pipeline may cause even more serious damages. To prevent the accident caused by the buried pipeline, it is required for the relevant authorities to evaluate the damage and risk of the whole pipeline system effectively. A risk is usually defined as a possibility or probability of an undesired event happening, and there is always a risk even when the probability of failure is set low once the pipeline is installed or under operation. It is reported that the accident caused by the failure of the pipeline rarely happens, however, it is important to minimize the rate of accidents by analyzing the reason of failure as it could cause a huge damage of humans and property. Therefore, the paper rated the risk of pipelines with quantitative numbers using the qualitative risk analysis method of the Scoring Model. It is assumed that the result could be effectively used for practical maintenance and management of pipelines securing the safety of the pipes.

In Seoul, there are lots of skyscrapers that have above 60 stories and buildings that have more than 8 basement levels, as well as massive distribution complex region which is connected to subways, departments, malls, hotels, and exhibition halls. When an accident, such as fire and explosion, happens in these areas or structures, if we can't find where fire-fighters are, who go into the building to suppress the fire, we couldn't be sure of their safety as well as effective command. Actually, it may cause much more damage itself and restrict either fire suppression or lifesaving. To protect people's life and properties as much as possible, this study will show the method to construct system of disaster-management supports with effective operation of fire force and scientific fire strategy in the scene by using Ubiquitous technique to enormous disasters.
