In this study, to determine the most effective alloy for shielding against gamma-rays, the gamma-ray shielding parameters of six types of cerrobend alloys have been investigated. Gamma-ray interaction with the cerrobend alloys has been discussed mainly in terms of total mass attenuation coefficient (${\mu}_t$), half value layer (HVL), tenth value layer (TVL), effective atomic number ($Z_{eff}$), and effective electron density ($N_{eff}$). These parameters have been calculated by theoretical approach using the ParShield program in a photon energy range between 0.1 MeV and 100 GeV. The dependence of these parameters on the incident photon energy and chemical composition of the cerrobend alloys has been studied.

Fission product release (FPR) assessment for End Fitting Failure (EFF) in CANDU reactor loaded with CANFLEX-natural uranium (NU) fuel bundles has been peformed. The predicted results are compared with those for the reactor loaded with standard 37-element bundles. The total channel I-131 release at the end of transient for EFF accident is calculated to be 380.8 TBq and 602.9 TBq for the CANFLEX bundle and standard bundle channel cases, respectively. They are 4.9% and 7.9% of the total inventory, respectively. The lower total releases of the CANFLEX bundle O6 channel are attributed to the lower initial fuel temperatures caused by the lower linear element power of the CANFLEX bundle compared with the standard bundle.

As a part of International Criticality Safety Benchmark Evaluation Project (ICSBEP), SAXTON critical experiments were reevaluated. The effects on $K_{eff}$ of the uncertainties in experiment parameters, fuel rod characterization, soluble boron, critical water level, core structure, $^{241}$ Am and $^{241}$ Pu isotope number densities, random pitch error, duplicated experiment, axial fuel position, model simplification, etc., were evaluated and added in benchmark-model $k_{eff}$. In addition to detailed model, the simplified model for Saxton critical experiments was constructed by omitting the top, middle, and bottom grids and ignoring the fuel above water.r.r.

In order to study the effect of D.C resistivity of sample on electromagnetic loss of ferrite at microwave frequency, samples were prepared for having differences in resistivity of an order of two. Microwave permeability($\mu$), permitivity($\varepsilon$) and effective linewidth(${\Delta}H_{eff}$), and ferromagnetic resonance linewidth(${\Delta}$H) were characterized. Tan${\delta}{\mu}$, tan${\delta}{\varepsilon}$ and ${\Delta}H_{eff}$ were decreased with increasing the resistivity and (${\Delta}$H) was increased with increasing Fe concentration, which was due to an increase of anisotropy magnetic field (=Ha).

The retardation effect of fatigue crack propagation after cyclic overloading seems to be affected by strain hardening exponent. Namely, for the material with high values of n, the delay effect is found to be severe. We proposed a modified crack retardation equation which may apply the retardation of fatigue crack growth after a cyclic overloading, as (da/dN)'$_{cyc}$=($\mu$n＋λ)B $\Delta$ $K^{q}$ /[(1－ $R_{eff}$) $K_{cf}$ －$\Delta$K]. where, $R_{eff}$ is effective stress ratio [＝( $K_{min}$－K, os)/( $K_{max}$－ $K_{res}$)] The constants $\mu$＝－0.5 and λ＝0.6, and the values are found to be identical for materials such as aluminum (A 1060), steel (SS 34), brass ( $B_{s}$ SIB) and stainless steel (SUS 304) used in this investigation.

In this paper, we analogized effective thermal conductivity ($k_{eff}$) and effective heat capacity($pc_{p.eff}$) of insulators and the air in coil portions of linear pulse motor for CEDM(Control Element Drive Mechanism). The errors of simulated results are under 1.6% when compared with experimental results. And we carried out temperature rise of linear pulse motor for CEDM by the experiment.

The fatigue growth behavior of short cracks were studied various load ratios. Computer-aided unloading elastic compliance method was employed to measure the closure and the length of short cracks. In the dc/dN-$\Delta$K relationships. the decreasing behavior of the growth rate of short cracks is due to the decrease of crack opening ratio with increasing crack length. Irrespective of load ratio. the growth rate of short cracks can be well decribed in terms of the effective stress intensity factor range $\Delta$K$_{eff}$, which is calculated on the base of crack closure. dc/dN-$\Delta$K$_{eff}$ relationships of short cracks are found to coincide well with the corresponding long crack relationships. accordingly. the growth rate of short cracks can be predicted using that of long cracks.ort cracks can be predicted using that of long cracks.cks.

In this study, piezoelectric properties of PZW-PMN-PZT multilayer actuator sintered at $900^{\circ}C$ low temperature have been investigated. The multilayer actuator was fabricated by tape casting methods. The density above $8[g/cm^3]$ was obtained at all the specimens. Also, according to increasing the number of multilayer, effective electromechanical coupling factor$(k_{eff})$ showed increasing trend. The $k_{eff}$ of multilayer actuator showed the maximum value of 0.283 at 11 layer. However, according to increasing the number of multilayer, mechanical quality factor(Qm') showed decreasing tend. The Qm' of multilayer actuator showed the maximum value of 920 at 5 layer.

가상 기계란 하드웨어로 이루어진 물리적 시스템과 달리 소프트웨어로 제작되어 논리적인 시스템 구성을 갖는 개념적인 프로세서이다. 기상 기계 기술은 프로세서나 운영체제가 바뀌더라도 응용프로그램을 변경하지 않고 사용할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 임베디드 시스템을 위한 기상 기계 기술은 모바일 장치나 디지털-TV 등에 탑재할 수 있는 핵심기술로서 다운로드 솔루션에서는 꼭 필요한 소프트웨어 기술이다. 현재 EVM이라 명명된 임베디드 시스템을 일한 가상 기계에 대하여 연구가 진행 중이다. 이러한 연구의 일환으로 본 논문에서는 기존의 가상 기계를 위안 실행 파일 포맷들의 분석을 기반으로 하여 임베디드 시스템을 위한 실행 파일 포맷인 EVM 파일 포맷(EFF)을 정의한다. 또한 제안한 EFF의 완전성을 증명하기 위하여, 기존에 널리 사용되고 있는 실행 파일인 클래스 파일을 이용해서 구조적으로 증명한다.

This work presents the methodology used to expand the capabilities of the Monte Carlo code OpenMC for the calculation of reactor kinetic parameters: effective delayed neutron fraction β_eff and neutron generation time L. The modified code, OpenMC(Time-Dependent) or OpenMC(TD), was then used to calculate the effective delayed neutron fraction by using the prompt method, while the neutron generation time was estimated using the pulsed method, fitting Λ to the decay of the neutron population. OpenMC(TD) is intended to serve as an alternative for the estimation of kinetic parameters when licensed codes are not available. The results obtained are compared to experimental data and MCNP calculated values for 18 benchmark configurations.
