The energetic steam explosion caused by contact between the high temperature molten core and water is one of the phenomena that may threaten the integrity of the containment vessel during severe accidents of light water reactors (LWRs). We examined the dependence of steam explosion loads in a typical reactor cavity geometry on selected model parameters and initial/boundary conditions by using a steam explosion simulation code, JASMINE, developed at Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA). Among the parameters, we put an emphasis on the water pool depth that has significance in terms of accident mitigation strategies including cavity flooding. The results showed a strong correlation between the load and the premixed mass, defined as the mass of the molten material in low void zones (void fraction < 0.75). The jet diameter and velocity that comprise the flow rate were the primary factors to determine the premixed mass and the load. The water pool depth also showed a significant impact. The energy conversion ratio based on the enthalpy in the premixed mass was in a narrow range ~4%. Based on this observation, we proposed a simplified method for evaluation of the steam explosion load. The results showed fair agreement with JASMINE.

The initial response to a marine accident can play a key role to minimize the accident. Therefore, various decision support systems have been developed using sensors, simulations, and active response equipment. In this study, we developed an algorithm to predict damage locations using ship motion data with bidirectional long short-term memory (BiLSTM), a type of recurrent neural network. To reflect the low frequency ship motion characteristics, 200 time-series data collected for 100 s were considered as input values. Heave, roll, and pitch were used as features for the prediction model. The F1-score of the BiLSTM model was 0.92; this was an improvement over the F1-score of 0.90 of a prior model. Furthermore, 53 of 75 locations of damage had an F1-score above 0.90. The model predicted the damage location with high accuracy, allowing for a quick initial response even if the ship did not have flood sensors. The model can be used as input data with high accuracy for a real-time progressive flooding simulator on board.

If a molten core is released from a reactor vessel into a reactor cavity during a severe accident, an important safety issue of coolability of the molten core from top-flooding and concrete ablation due to a molten core concrete interaction (MCCI) is still unresolved. The released molten core debris would attack the concrete wall and basemat of the reactor cavity, which will lead to inevitable concrete decompositions and possible radiological releases. In a OECD/MCCI project scheduled for 4 years from 2002. 1 to 2005. 12, a series of tests were performed to secure the data for cooling the molten core spread out at the reactor cavity and for the 2-D long-term core concrete interaction (CCI). The tests included not only separate effect tests such as a melt eruption, water ingression, and crust failure tests with a prototypic material but also 2-D CCI tests with a prototypic material under dry and flooded cavity conditions. The paper deals with the transient simulations on the CCI-2 test by using a severe accident analysis code, CORQUENCH, which was developed at Argonne National Laboratory (ANL). Similar simulations had been already per for me d by using MELCOR 1.8.5 code. Unlike the MELCOR 1.8.5, the CORQUENCH includes a melt eruption mode I and a newly developed water ingression model based on the water ingression tests under the OECD/MCCI project. In order to adjust the geometrical differences between the CCI-2 test (rectangular geometry) and the simulations (cylindrical geometry), the same scaling methodology as used in the MELCOR simulation was applied. For the direct comparison of the simulation results, the same inputs for the MELCOR simulation were used. The simulation results were compared with the previous results by using MELCOR 1.8.5.

As the water supply facilities are recently getting larger, the domestic waterworks become multi-regional water supply system. Large water supply facilities generally consist of the intake pumping station, water treatment plant and water supply/distribution facilities. Although the pumping stations and the pipeline systems are used to pump up water, it often happens pipeline damage and flooding accident by the water hammer. In this paper, the intake pumping station is guaranteed by both the computer simulation and the field test analysis. This study is contributed to the safe operation program for the pumping station in which results of the adjustment on the safety plan of the pumping station, the air valve and the valve closing time.

Water supply facilities are recently getting larger according as domestic waterworks become multi regional water supply system. Large water supply facilities generally consist of the intake pumping station, water treatment station and water supply & distribution facilities. Although pumping stations and pipeline systems are used to pump up water, it often happens pipeline damage and flooding accident by the water hammer. As a result of this study, a pumping station is guaranteed by the computer simulation and field test analysis. Therefore these are contributed safety operation in pumping station through adjustment of the pumping station safety plan, air valve and valve closing time.

This paper presents a new dynamic human reliability analysis method and its application for quantifying the human error probabilities in implementing management action. For comparisons of current HRA methods with the new method, the characteristics of THERP, HCR, and SLIM-MAUD, which are most frequency used method in PSAs, are discussed. The action associated with implementation of the cavity flooding during a station blackout sequence is considered for its application. This method is based on the concepts of the quantified correlation between the performance requirement and performance achievement. The MAAP 3.0B code and Latin Hypercube sampling technique are used to determine the uncertainty of the performance achievement parameter. Meanwhile, the value of the performance requirement parameter is obtained from interviews. Based on these stochastic obtained, human error probabilities are calculated with respect to the various means and variances of the things. It is shown that this method is very flexible in that it can be applied to any kind of the operator actions, including the actions associated with the implementation of accident management strategies.

21세기에 들어 급변하는 기후변화로 인한 풍수해 재해가 증가하여 건설현장에서의 침수사고가 증가하고 있다. 하지만 침수사고에 안전관리가 제대로 작동하지 않아 구체적인 저감 대책은 제시되고 있지 않다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 굴착공사현장에서의 침수사고에 대한 침수양상을 해석하고 침수위험도 정량화 기법을 활용하여 위험등급을 구분하였다. 마지막으로 어골도를 활용하여 복합적인 침수원인을 도출하였다. 소규모 굴착공사 현장과 터파기 현장의 침수양상을 모의한 결과 굴착면을 타고 흘러 들어오는 유체에 의해 굴착면 내 침수심이 3 m를 초과하였다. 또한 굴착지점에 따라서 일시적으로 고유속이 발생하다 저류효과에 의해 감소하거나 10 m/s 이상의 고유속이 지속되기도 하였다. 이와 같은 침수 양상은 대부분의 작업자 혹은 모든 작업자에게 위험을 초래할 수 있는 수치이기 때문에 관리대책 미흡과 동시에 곱의 사상으로 발생한다면 치명적인 인명·재산 피해를 초래할 수 있었다. 이러한 재해 원인 고찰은 인명피해를 유발하는 침수사고에 대한 원인을 파악하여 사고 저감 대책을 제시할 때 도움을 줄 것으로 판단된다.

이 논문은 중대사고가 발생하였을때 운전원에 의하여 사고관리 방안을 수행하는 경우 그 실현성(Feasibility)을, 평가하는데 사용할 수 있는 새로운 시간의존적 신뢰도 분석방법을 제시하였다. 이 방법은 성능요구 (Performance Requirement)와 성능성취 (Performance Achievement)의 상관관계의 개념을 이용하는 신뢰도물리(Reliability Physics)와 모든 시간의존적 사고경위를 도출하는 동적사건수목 생성방법에 기초하고있다. 신뢰도물리는 성능요구변수와 성능성취변수의 비교를 이용한 신뢰도분석방법인 반면 동적사건수목 생성방법은 바람직한 해를 얻을 때까지 모든 가능한 사고경위를 도출해 내는 방법이다. 이 방법론을 정전사고시 참조원전의 공동에 비상화재시스템을 이용하여 물을 공급하는 공동범람사고관리 방안에 적용시켰다. Latin Hypercube Sampling 방법은 성능요구변수의 불확실성을 평가하는데 사용되었다. 제시된 방법론은 사고시 필요한 운전원의 방안수행 성공가능성을 평가하는데 사용될 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 궁극적으로 사고관리 절차서 개발에 도움이 될 수 있음을 보여주었다.

이 논문은 새로운 동적 인간신뢰도 분석방법을 제시하였고, 사고관리 방안의 수행시 인간오류확률의 계산에 이 방법을 적용하였다. 기존의 다른 방법과 비교하기 위하여 PSA의 HRA수행시 가장 많이 사용되는 THERP, HCR, 및 SLIM-MAUD 방법론들의 특징을 논의하였다. 정전사고시 공동범람시키는 방안을 예제로 사용하였다. 이 방법은 Requirement와 Achievement의 연관개념에 기초하고 있다. Achievement 변수의 불확정성은 MAAP 전산코드와 Latin Hypercube Sampling 방법을 이용하여 결정하였고 Requirement 변수값은 운전원과의 면담을 통하여 얻었다. 이렇게 얻어진 변수들의 분포를 가지고 여러가지 시간값의 평균과 분산에 대하여 인간오류 확률값을 계산하였다. 이 방법은 매우 유연하여 사고관리 전략수행과 관련한 행위를 포함한 어떤 종류의 운전원 행위에도 적용가능 함을 보여주었다.
