  • The basis of modem risk-based safety management is to focus on what might happen and ensure it is designed out of the system by robust hazard identification and risk analysis. However, in the real world things go wrong and it is essential to be prepared for the worst so that the response can minimise harm and loss of property and damage to the environment. Whilst some hazard mitigation measures are aimed at preventing incidents, others are venting escalation. The results of the tests concluded that the most effective means by the control room, both with and without, local station staff assistance using directive public address announcements and CCTV surveillance.

  • Korea Gas Safety Corporation is developing consequence analysis system for combustible materials release events to enhance risk assessment technology and its efficiency. Unlike general consequence analysis programs, the final consequence area was implemented through ETA analysis based on API-581 standard, and a convenient user interface was constructed based on HTML5-based responsive web technology. In addition, a phase equilibrium module using third-order state equations (such as Peng-Robinson, SRK, and RK) and fugecity was implemented to analyze the mixture quality. Also. using the consequence analysis algorithm introduced in CCPS books and TNO Yellow Book, we developed material leak analysis module, fireball, pool fire, jet fire, flash fire, and vapor cloud explosion consequence assessment module. In addition, the conditions for calculating the safety distance were prepared with using the control values in the EIGA standard, PAC, and Bevi Reference Book.

  • Unlike cases of fire on land where experienced fireman and various fire fighting equipment are present, onboard fires need to be independently extinguished, making it a complex process. The primal objective of getting quick control of a fire is to prevent casualties which generally occur from inhalation of toxic fumes rather than the fire itself. However, if for some inevitable reason the fire cannot be contained, everyone in that particular area must evacuate to avoid any possible casualties. In this research, through a simulation of the CFD, we will observe the soot density concentration which affects evacuation within an onboard fire in relation to the possible evacuation time to conclude a time zone for a safe exit.

  • Hot smoke test is done in a subway tunnel. Alcohol trays of 1.0 MW and smoke generators are used for generating hot smoke. The fans equipped with the tunnel are successively run 9 min after smoke generation. It is verified how hot smoke is controlled by fans. Velocity and direction of flow, temperature and smoke density are measured and analyzed for smoke control performance of the tunnel with fans and analyzed from the fire-safety-point of view. Velocity of smoke flow is obtained by using measured velocity and temperature at the ceiling of the tunnel. The time when smoke-control flow is builded up is different for the different positions. Velocity distributions at various positions will be used for the boundaries and the comparison data in numerical simulations for evaluation on smoke-control facilities of subway tunnel.

  • The Chemical Control Act of 2015 was enhanced to ensure the safe management of hazardous chemicals. In particular, there have been substantial changes in the standards for the installation and management of handling facilities for manufacturing and storing hazardous chemicals. However, some standards for handling facilities are difficult to implement due to a lack of physical space or because of safety accidents during facility improvements. Therefore, the Safety assessment system (SAS) has been operating for such facilities since 2018. This study developed a leakage trajectory evaluation module that can easily evaluate the outside of a dike for safety evaluation. We analyzed two case studies on a dike for hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid storage tanks with this module and suggest a reasonable plan for the facility. We believe that it will be possible to more easily submit SAS reports at chemical plants by using this evaluation module. This study is expected to contribute to the improvement of the safety design of hazardous chemical handling facilities.

  • Pumped storage power plant is a system of generating electricity with hydroelectric power, in which at times of low electrical demand such as during nights, excess generation capacity of many power plants is used to pump water into the higher reservoir, and when there is higher demand, water is released back into the lower reservoir through a turbine, generating electricity. As pumped storage power plants across the nation are not on building registry under "the Article 6 of the Special Act by the Development of Power Resources", they are classified as a structure, not as a building. As a result, permit of fire protection facility is unnecessary, and fire protection administration is excluded from approval to completion of construction. Therefore, this study is to improve problems in accordance with the application of "he Article 6 of the Special Act by the Development of Power Resources", repair of facilities and problems with safety control to effectively prevent similar damages from repeatedly happening to pumped storage power plants in operation or under construction nationwide during a fire.

  • As we learned in Daegu subway fire accident, fire in the railway tunnel is prone to develop to large disaster due to the limitation of smoke control and smoke exhaust. In railway tunnel, in order to ensure fire safety, fire prevention and fighting systems are installed by quantitative risk assessment results. Therefore, in this research, developed the program to establish quantitative risk assessment and suggested quantitative safety assessment method including fire scenarios in railway tunnel, fire and evacuation analysis model, fatality estimate model and societal risk criteria. Moreover, this method applys to plan preventing disaster for Honam high speed railway tunnel. As results, we presented the proper distance of escape route and societal risk criteria.

  • Concrete is the one of the most widely used in every country as a structural materials. On the other hand, a lot of fire incident has been occurred all over the world. But maintenance methods such as inspection and diagnostic methods, design methods, quality control methods for the purpose of improving the performance of concrete structures damaged by fire has made in its own way. Therefore, the purpose of this proposal of new working item is is to ensure the safety of the concrete structures damaged by fire in the field of assessment of damage, design, repair methods and so on through the International Organization for Standardization.
