In this work, new multi-recycling options of TRU nuclides using PWR fuel assemblies comprised of MOX and FCM (Fully Ceramic Micro Encapsulated) fuels are suggested and neutronically analyzed. These options do not use a fully recycling of TRU but a partial recycling where TRUs from MOX fuels are recycled while the ones from FCM fuels are not recycled due to their high consumption rate resulted from high burnup. In particular, additional external TRU feed in MOX fuels for each cycle was considered to significantly increase the TRU consumption rate and the finally selected option is to use external TRU and enriched uranium feed as a makeup for the heavy metal consumption in MOX fuels. This hybrid external feeding of TRU and enriched uranium in MOX fuel was shown to be very effective in significantly increasing TRU consumption rate, maintaining long cycle length, and achieving negative void reactivity worth during recycling.

Fault currents characteristics contain decaying DC offset. First cycle peak value of fault currents is higher than steady-state fault current value. These characteristics can affect the operation of protective device. To reduce the asymmetric fault current, the method using a series connection of two hybrid-type Superconducting Fault Current Limiter(SFCL) components, an auxiliary SFCL and a main SFCL, has been proposed. The auxiliary SFCL limits the first half cycle fault current, while main SFCL limits the steady state fault currents. This paper proposed a decision method of the optimal insertion resistance of auxiliary and main SFCL components. To verify the effectiveness of proposed scheme, the various simulations are performed by using Electromagnetic Transient Program(EMTP).

Productivity of container cranes and gantry cranes is influenced by the performance of crane hardware and cycle time. Cycle time in container handling is influenced by the path of containers and relative positioning of containers. So we have to minimize the sway of containers and spreaders to minimize relative positioning time. And sway minimization is influenced by the skill of workers in manual gantry cranes. In this paper, we will develop anti-sway system using mechanical and electrical method. Proposed hybrid system uses the basic structure of general manual gantry crane. So, it is very useful and effective. Electrical methods are main methods and mechanical methods are auxiliary methods.

Defects in the mitotic spindle or in the attachment of chromosomes to the spindle are believed to release an activated form of spindle checkpoint complex that inhibits APC-dependent ubiquitination and subsequently arrests the cell cycle at metaphase. When the spindle assembly is disrupted, the fission yeast mitotic arrest deficient (mad) mutants fail to arrest and rapidly lose viability. To enhance our understanding of the molecular mechanisms for the pathway of checkpoint function, the functional characterizations of Mad 1 p from Schizosaccharomyces pombe involved in this process have been carried out. Yeast two-hybrid and various deletion analyses of S. pombe Mad1 p reveal that the C terminus of Mad1p is critical for the binding of Mad2p and maintenance of Mad 1 p-Mad2p interaction. In addition, it was found. that the Mad1p region (residues 206-356) is essential for Mad1p-other checkpoint components. Mad1p truncating this region is sufficient to bind Mad2p but abolishes the checkpoint function, indicating that the checkpoint function is necessary for interaction of Mad 1 p-other checkpoint components. The possible functions of S. pombe Mad1p at the cell cycle checkpoint are discussed.

According to the Korean long-term plan for nuclear technology development, KAERI is conducting a few R&D projects related to the proliferation-resistant back-end fuel cycle. The R&D activities for the back-end fuel cycle are reviewed in this work, especially focusing on the study of the partitioning and transmutation(P&T) of long-lived radionuclides. The P&T study is currently being carried out in order to develop key technologies in the areas of partitioning and transmutation. The partitioning study is based on the development of pyroprocessing such as electrorefining and electrowinning because they can be adopted as proliferation-resistant technologies in the fuel cycle. In this study, various behaviors of the electrodeposition of uranium and rare earth elements in the LiCl-KCl electrorefining system have been examined through fundamental experimental work. As for the transmutation system, KAERI is studying the HYPER (HYbrid Power Extraction Reactor), a kind of subcritical reactor which will be connected with a proton accelerator. Up to now, a conceptual study has been carried out for the major elemental systems of the subcritical reactor such as core, transuranic fuel, long-lived fission product target, and the Pb-Bi cooling system, etc. In order to enhance the transmutation efficiency of the transuranic elements as well as to strengthen the reactor safety, the reactor core was optimized by determining its most suitable subcriticality, the ratio of height/diameter, and by introducing the concepts of optimum core configuration with a transuranic enrichment as well as a scattered reloading of the fuel assemblies.

The pre-replication complex (pre-RC), including the core hexameric MCM2-7 complex, ensures that the eukaryotic genome is replicated only once per cell division cycle. In this study, we identified a rice $\underline{m}ini\underline{c}hromosome$ $\underline{m}aintenance$ (MCM) homologue (OsMCM2) that functionally complemented fission yeast MCM2 (CDC19) mutants. We found OsMCM2 transcript expression in roots, leaves, and seeds, although expression levels differed slightly among the organs. Likewise, the OsMCM2 protein was ubiquitously expressed, but it was downregulated when nutritients were limiting, indicating that MCM2 expression (and therefore cell cycle progression) requires adequate nutrition. Yeast two-hybrid and GST pull-down assays demonstrated that OsMCM2 interacted with the COP9 signalosome 5 (CSN5). Taken as a whole, our results indicated that OsMCM2 functions as a subunit of the rice MCM complex and interacts with CSN5 during developmental regulation.

$Al_2O_3$ 나노입자의 농도별로 전동식 압축기의 회전속도(rpm)의 변화에 따른 자동차용 증기압축 냉동사이클의 COP를 실험적으로 평가하고 나노입자를 적용하지 않은 기준 사이클의 COP와 비교하였다. 이를 위해 실제 하이브리드 자동차에서 쓰는 사이클 부품들을 이용하고 항온항습 챔버를 이용하지 않는 방식으로 장치를 설계 및 제작하였다. 별도의 전동식 인버터 압축기의 제어장치를 활용하여 1000rpm부터 500rpm 간격으로 4000rpm까지와 $Al_2O_3$ 나노입자를 질량비 기준으로 농도 0.05%, 0.1%, 0.2%와 0.5%의 범위에 대하여 실험을 수행하였다. 이를 통해 기준 사이클과 비교하면 기준 사이클의 일반적인 운전조건인 약 3000rpm에서 $Al_2O_3$ 나노유체를 적용하는 사이클의 COP는 질량 농도비 0.05%에서는 15.4% 정도, 농도비 0.1%, 0.2% 및 0.5%에서는 각각 9.4%, 13% 및 9.6%가 증가함을 알 수 있었다.

섬유강화 복합재료는 우수한 기계적, 전자기적 물성 등으로 다양한 분야에서 응용되고 있다. 열경화성 복합재는 제작공정에서의 성형온도와 제품의 운용온도인 상온간의 온도차이로 형상의 변형(스프링 백)이 발생하게 된다. 이러한 스프링 백은 하이브리드 구조의 정밀한 형상 제작을 위해서 반드시 보정되어야할 부분이다. 본 연구에서는 유리섬유/에폭시 복합재와 카본섬유/에폭시 복합재로 구성된 비대칭 하이브리드 복합재를 경화사이클, 적층두께, 적층방법 등 다양한 조건을 적용하여 제작하고 3차원 좌표측정기를 이용하여 스프링 백을 측정하였다. 또한 고전 적층판 이론(CLT)과 유한요소해석(ANSYS)으로 스프링백을 예측하고 실험결과와 비교하였다. 고전 적층판 이론과 유한요소해석으로 예측된 스프링 백은 실험 결과와 잘 일치하였으며, 성형온도가 낮을수록 스프링 백이 감소되는 경향을 보임을 확인하였으나 근원적으로 스프링 백이 제거되지는 않았다.
