A new effective methodology for optimizing the enrichment of low-enriched zones as well as gadolinia fuel ($UO_2/Gd_2O_3$) rod designs in PLUS7 fuel assemblies was developed to minimize the maximum peak power in the core and to maximize the cycle lifetime. An automated link code was developed to integrate the genetic algorithm (GA) and the core design code package of ALPHA/PHOENIX-P/ANC and to generate and evaluate the candidates to be optimized efficiently through the integrated code package. This study introduces an optimization technique for the optimization of gadolinia fuel rod designs in order to effectively reduce the peak powers for a few hot assemblies simultaneously during the cycle. Coupled with the gadolinia optimization, the optimum enrichments were determined using the same automated code package. Applying this technique to the reference core of Ulchin Unit 4 Cycle 11, the gadolinia fuel rods in each hot assembly were optimized to different numbers and positions from their original designs, and the maximum peak power was decreased by 2.5%, while the independent optimization technique showed a decrease of 1.6% for the same fuel assembly. The lower enrichments at the fuel rods adjacent to the corner gap (CG), guide tube (GT), and instrumentation tube (IT) were optimized from the current 4.1, 4.1, 4.1 w/o to 4.65, 4.2, 4.2 w/o. The increase in the cycle lifetime achieved through this methodology was 5 effective full-power days (EFPD) on an ideal equilibrium cycle basis while keeping the peak power as low as 2.3% compared with the original design.

Computer Aided Process Planning(CAPP) has been emerged as playing a key role in Computer Integrated Manufacturing(CIM) as the most critical link to integrate CAD and CAM, and therefore much effort has been dedicated to the structure and creation of CAPP system. In this research, a modified variant CAPP system based on process planning rule base is developed, which generates process plans for parts automatically where GT code data are provided as input. In order to execute process planning, rules are constructed in the form of Decision Tree and this system has the inference engine that extracts the results of process planning on the basis of tree-structured rules which are concerned with manufacturing processes.

The rapid development of science & technology and the globalization of society have accelerated the fractionation and specialization of academic disciplines. Accordingly, Korean colleges and universities are continually dropping antiquated courses to make room for new courses that better meet societal demands. With emphasis placed on providing students with a broader range of choices in terms of course selection, compulsory courses have given way to elective courses. On average, 4 year institutions of higher learning in Korea currently offer somewhere in the neighborhood of 1,000 different courses yearly. The classification of an ever growing list of courses offered and the practical use of such data would not be possible without the aid of computers. For example, if we were able to show the pre/post requisite relationship among various courses as well as the commonalities in substance among courses, such data generated regarding the interrelationship of different courses would undoubtedly greatly benefit the students, as well as the professors, during course registration. Furthermore, the GT system's relatively simple approach to course classification and coding will obviate the need for the development of a more complicated keyword based search engine, and hopefully contribute to the standardization of the course coding scheme in the future..Therefore, as a sample case project, this study will use GT to classify and code all courses offered at the College of Engineering of K University, thereby developing a system that will facilitate the scanning of relevant courses.

부산수산대학 실습선 부산403호의 내부개조 및 중량물의 철거로 인한 복원성의 변화를 측정하기 위하여 경사시험을 실시하고, 개조전과 시험시의 GM, K, GA의 값을 비교하였으며, 또한 어선 설비 등에 관한 규칙 및 IMO 규정에 비추어 복원성능을 검토하였다. 1. 경하 및 만재출항상태에서의 GZ값은 각각 0.307m 및 0.325 m 여서 복원성에는 이상이 없는 것으로 판단된다. 2. 경하상태에서는 개조전보다 GM이 0.046m 작고, KG 0.141 m 크나, 복원성에는 지장이 없는것으로 보아진다. 3. 만재출항상태에서 탱크 내 액체의 자유표면의 유동을 고려하지 않을 때는 개조전보다 GM이 0.163 m 작고 KG가 0.173 m 크나 복원성에는 지장이 없는 것으로 간주된다. 그러나 탱크 내 액체의 자유표면의 유동을 고려하면 GM 0.275m는, 어선 설비 등에 관한 규칙에서 산정한 GM의 기준치인 0.353m에 미치지 못하므로 이에 대한 보완이 필요하다고 본다.
