Despite the growing importance of safe railroad operation with the recent implementation of the Severe Accident Punishment Act, industrial accidents related to the shunting of railway vehicles persist. Therefore, the government and Korea Railroad Corporation are collaborating on an automated connection and disconnection system that enables remote control of shunting trains from a central control room, utilizing surveillance cameras. By eliminating the need for on-site workers during freight car operations at stations, it aims to reduce safety accidents inherent in manual receiving processes. A qualifying government-issued railway vehicle driver's license is necessary to handle this newly developed automatic connection and disconnection system. As a result, this study aims to establish an appropriate driver qualification system.

The launch of KTX (Korea Train Express) has brought the changes of people's life. People can get more time to work or enjoy leisure comfortably because the transfer time is decreased. According to these changes, the role of normal trains and express trains' drivers is getting more important. The purpose of this study is to suggest the advanced vision of Korean railway through comparing the domestic driver's qualification requirements of normal trains and express trains with international ones which are more developed.

Since the 2000s, mechanical parking lots have become an increasingly common solution to serious parking difficulties in urban areas. While safety regulations are in place, they can avert or minimize accidents only when drivers understand and comply with them, and so do not always prevent drivers from making mistakes. As a result, the number of serious accidents caused by driver errors continues to increase in proportion to the rapid increase in vehicles. Most of these accidents are caused by abnormal vehicle entry, despite the safeguards already in place. Therefore, in this thesis, we will study the vehicle entry prevention system and suggest how it can be made more effective in stopping or minimizing accidents.

철도사고의 발생 확률은 적지만 한 번의 사고로 인하여 피해가 막대하고 빠르게 확산되는 특징이 있다. 이러한 예상치 못한 철도사고 예방을 위하여 열차안전운행의 최일선 접점에 있는 기관사의 역할은 무엇보다 큰 비중을 차지하고 있다 할 것이다. 철도안전법 시행 이전 기관사 양성은 각 철도운영기관에서 자체적으로 정한 자격기준, 교육기간, 실무수습을 거쳐 양성하였으며 동일차종을 운전하는 기관사 양성에 있어 철도운영기관 별로 각기 다른 기준으로 선발 교육함에 따라 철도차량운전자에 대한 양성 관리가 체계적으로 이루어 지지 않았다. 철도안전법 시행으로 철도차량 종류에 따라 면허의 종류를 분류하고 전문교육훈련기관을 지정하여 일정한 교육을 이수한 후 제3의 평가기관을 지정, 평가토록 함으로써 일정 수준이상 득점을 해야만 면허가 발급되는 체제를 갖추게 되었으며 교육훈련기관과 평가기관을 분리하여 운전자에 대한 능력을 객관적으로 검증할 수 있도록 하였다. 교육대상자에 따라 과목별 이론교육 시간을 달리 배정하고 실기교육의 대부분을 차지하고 있는 운전시뮬레이터의 취급시간을 최대한 확보하여 철도차량운전자의 자질을 극대화하는 교육프로그램이 되도록 설계하여야 한다. 본 논문을 통하여 면허취득을 위한 교육훈련의 효과를 극대화 하고 실용적인 교육을 위하여 필요한 제반 여건에 대하여 국내외 면허 교육훈련을 비교분석을 통하여 현행 제도의 문제점 및 개선방안에 대하여 연구하고자 한다.

How can a train move? While a car is driven by a driver who gets the traffic information and takes the road, a train is operated on the designated(or predetermined) track by the operator or the control center. There have been a great deal of changes and evolutions in the railroad environment. Along with these transitions, there have been also a considerable amount of changes in the control center. There has been no detailed analysis for the control center even though its importance has been recognized. It goes without saying that CCC(Central Control Center)'s importance as the core of the train driving system. Such an importance is true for the automated driving system such as the light rail system. Therefore this paper analyzes the CCC of AREX(Airport Express) from the various aspects, i.e., organization, personnel assignment, the way of working, qualification and job analysis for the operator.

Metal fuel is being developed for the prototype generation-IV sodium-cooled fast reactor (PGSFR) to be built by 2028. U-Zr fuel is a driver for the initial core of the PGSFR, and U-transuranics (TRU)-Zr fuel will gradually replace U-Zr fuel through its qualification in the PGSFR. Based on the vast worldwide experiences of U-Zr fuel, work on U-Zr fuel is focused on fuel design, fabrication of fuel components, and fuel verification tests. U-TRU-Zr fuel uses TRU recovered through pyroelectrochemical processing of spent PWR (pressurized water reactor) fuels, which contains highly radioactive minor actinides and chemically active lanthanide or rare earth elements as carryover impurities. An advanced fuel slug casting system, which can prevent vaporization of volatile elements through a control of the atmospheric pressure of the casting chamber and also deal with chemically active lanthanide elements using protective coatings in the casting crucible, was developed. Fuel cladding of the ferritic-martensitic steel FC92, which has higher mechanical strength at a high temperature than conventional HT9 cladding, was developed and fabricated, and is being irradiated in the fast reactor.

트램은 1900년대 초중반 대중교통으로서 많이 이용되어 왔으나, 이 후 교통체계가 자동차 중심으로 발전됨에 따라, 도시교통난 유발과 도시환경미관을 저해하는 등의 이유로 활용성이 낮아졌다. 최근에는 친환경적 최첨단 트램기술이 개발되어 트램에 대한 수요가 점차 증가하고 있는 상황이다. 이러한 트램 교통시스템이 철도와 도로교통의 두 가지 특성을 갖고 있음에도 불구하고 우리나라에서는 관련 법령에 트램 운전자의 자격에 대해서 규정하고 있지 않다. 트램은 도로 교통과 인접하거나 연계되어 운영되기 때문에 자동차와의 사고발생 가능성이 높으므로, 우리나라에 효과적으로 도입하기 위해서는 운전자의 자격요건을 정립함으로써 사고 시 피해를 최소화하고 신속한 대응이 가능하도록 해야 할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 이를 위하여 해외 트램 운전자격제도를 조사, 검토하였고 이를 통해 철도안전법 및 하위법령 등 관련 법에 대한 보완방안을 고찰하였다.

The CREOLE experiment performed In the EOLE critical facility located In the Nuclear Center of CADARACHE - CEA have allowed us to get interesting and complete experimental information on the temperature effects in the light water reactor lattices. To analyze these experiments with accuracy an elaborate calculation scheme using the Monte Carlo method implemented in the MCNP6.1 code and the ENDF/B-VII.1 cross section library has been developed. We have used the ENDF/B-VII.1 data provided with the MCNP6.1.1 version in ACE format and the Makxsf utility to handle the data in the specific temperatures not available in the MCNP6.1.1 original library. The main purpose of this analysis is the qualification of the ENDF/B-VII.1 nuclear data for the prediction of the Reactivity Temperature Coefficient while ensuring the ability of the MCNP6.1 system to model such a complex experiment as CREOLE. We have analyzed the case of UO₂ lattice with 1166 ppm of boron in ordinary water moderator in specified temperatures. A detailed comparison of the calculated effective multiplication factors with the reference ones [1] in room temperature presented in this work shows a good agreement demonstrating the validation of our 3D calculation model. The discrepancies between calculations and the differential measurements of the Reactivity Temperature Coefficient for the analyzed configuration are relatively small: the maximum discrepancy doesn't exceed 1,1 pcm/℃. In addition to the analysis of direct differential measurements of the reactivity temperature coefficient performed in the poisoned UO₂ lattice configuration, we have also analyzed integral measurements in UO₂ clean lattice configuration using equivalency of the integral temperature reactivity worth with the driver core fuel reactivity worth and soluble boron reactivity worth. In this case both of the ENDF/B-VII.1 and JENDL.4 libraries were used in our analysis and the obtained results are very similar.
