Explosion and fire cause about 30 reported industrial major accidents a year by ignition source which discharge of electrostatic generated to flammable gas, vapor, dust and mixtures. It brings economically and humanly very large loss that accident was caused by fire and explosion from electrostatic discharge. Thus, it is very important that electrostatic discharge energy is to be control below not to be igniting flammable mixtures. There are two kinds of analysis model for electrostatic discharge, human body model and machine model. Human body model is available the parameter of human's electrical equivalent that capacitance is 100 pF, resistance is $1.5k{\Omega}$. To simulate and visualize the electrostatic discharge from human body need a very expensive and high voltage simulator. In this paper, we measured the value of capacitance and resistance concerned with test materials and sizing of specimen and the value of charged voltage concerned with test specimen and distance to develop an electrostatic charge/discharge simulating tool for teaching with which concerned industrial employee and students. The result of experiments, we conformed that the minimum ignition energy of methane-oxygen mixtures meets well the equation $W=1/2CV^2$, and found out that the insulating material and sizing of equivalent value having human body mode are the poly ethylene of 200 mm and 300 mm of diameter. Developed electrostatic charge/discharge simulating tool has many merits; simple mechanism, low cost, no need of electric power and so on.

Decommissioning process of nuclear facilities consist of a sequence of problem solving activities, because there may exist not only working environments contaminated by radiological exposure but also industrial hazards such as fire, explosions, toxic materials, and electrical and physical hazards. Therefore, not a few countries in the world have been trying to develop appropriate counter techniques in order to guarantee safety and efficiency of the process. In spite of that, there still exists neither domestic nor international standard. Unfortunately, however, there are few workers who experienced decommissioning operations a lot in the past. As a solution, it is quite necessary to utilize experts' opinions for risk assessment in decommissioning process. As for an individual hazard factor, risk assessment techniques are getting known to industrial workers with advance of safety technology, but the way how to integrate those results is not yet. This paper aimed to find out an appropriate technique to integrate individual risk assessment results from the viewpoint of experts. Thus, on one hand the whole risk assessment activity for decommissioning operations was modeled as a sequence of individual risk assessment steps which can be classified into two activities, decontamination and dismantling, and on the other, a risk assessment structure was introduced. The whole model was inferred with Fuzzy theory and techniques, and a numerical example was appended for comprehension.

본 산업의 발달 및 화석연료 사용 증가로 인하여 지구온난화 및 기후변화가 가속화되어 기존보다 강도 높은 자연재해가 빈번하게 발생하고 있다. 전기시설물은 옥외에 시설된 경우가 많아 자연재해에 큰 영향을 받아 전기설비 관련 사고가 증가하는 추세이다. 본 논문에서는 국내의 기후변화에 따른 전기화재, 감전사고 및 전기설비사고의 통계 현황을 분석하여 기후변화와 연계한 위험도를 제시한다. 또한, 다양한 지역 별(광역시) 기후조건(온도, 습도)과 연계한 전기재해 데이터 분석을 통하여 각 지역의 월별 전기화재 위험도 분석 모델을 제시하고, 저압, 고압 설비의 자연재해에 대한 사고 위험도를 분석한다. 이러한 지역별, 설비별 위험도 분석 모델을 통하여 기초적인 전기재해 예측 모델을 제시하였다. 따라서 제시한 분석 데이터를 활용하여 향후 각 지역 및 전기설비를 대상으로 전기재해 위험도 예측 맵을 웹사이트나 스마트폰 앱을 통하여 전기안전 서비스를 제안할 수 있으며, 기후변화의 따른 자연재해에 대한 전기사고를 미연에 방지하기 위한 내성기준이나 전기설비의 내구성을 증가시키기 위한 노력이 필요하다.
