Cinnamate-4-hydroxylase (C4H) is a key enzyme in the phenylpropanoid pathway, which is responsible for synthesizing a variety of secondary metabolites that participate in development and adaptation. In this study, we isolated a full-length cDNA of the C4H gene from the Korean black raspberry (Rubus sp.) and found that this gene existed as a single gene. By comparing the deduced amino acid sequence of Rubus sp. C4H with other sequences reported previously we determined that this sequence was highly conserved among widely divergent plant species. In addition, quantitative real time PCR studies indicated that the C4H gene had a differential expression pattern during fruit development, where gene expression was first detected in green fruit and was then remarkably reduced in yellow fruit, followed by an increase in red and black fruit. To investigate the two peaks in expression observed during fruit development and ripening, we measured the flavonoid content. The content of the major flavanol of Korean black raspberry fruits was determined to be highest at the beginning of fruit development, followed by a gradually decrease according to the developmental stages. In contrast, the content of anthocyanins during the progress of ripening was dramatically increased. Our results suggest that the C4H gene in Korean black raspberry plays a role during color development at the late stages of fruit ripening, whereas the expression of C4H gene during the early stages may be related to the accumulation of flavanols.

This paper describes several current research activities and the field techniques for the prevention of human errors during the operation of nuclear power plants(NPPs). The human aspects such as 'fitness for the duties', 'job competence and suitability', 'types of communication', 'behaviors of field workers', 'teamwork of main control room crews', 'task procedures', etc. have been investigated for improving the performance of operating personnel in NPPs. We decide to develop a set of the complementary techniques for the reduction of human errors. The set of techniques developed includes teamwork criteria, jobs fitness analysis, procedure enhancement guide, 3-way communication, campaign posters, a behavior based safety program, a procedure guideline, and a task hazard identification method for the field practitioners in NPPs. These can offer a set of significant human error countermeasures to be considered for analyzing and reducing human error in NPPs as well as other fields of industry.

The Project of Jordan Research and Training Reactor (JRTR) officially launched in Aug. 2010. JRTR is the first made-in-Korea nuclear system to be built abroad by year 2015, and Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI) is responsible for the design of major systems including the reactor core. While the PDCS (Project Document Control System) being operated by EPC company controls all the documents of the whole Project, KAERI is supposed to have its own system for KAERI documents. Meeting such a need; KAERI has implemented a document control for the JRTR Project into already existing ANSIM (KAERI Advanced Nuclear Safety Information Management) system. The documents of JRTR project to be controlled are defined in the PPM (Project Procedures Manual), QAP (Quality Assurance Procedure) and PEP (Project Execution Program). The ANSIM consists of the document management holder, document container holder and organization management holder. The document management holder, which is the most important part of ANSIM-JRTR, consists of the DDA (Document Distribution for Agreement), IOC (Inter-office Correspondence), PM Memo. (Project Manager Memorandum) and cover sheets of design documents. Other materials such as meeting minutes, sub-department materials and design information materials are stored in an independent COP (Community of Practice). This established computerized document control system, ANSIM, could lessen a burden for project management team and enhance the productivity as well.

무정형 알루미나를 흡착제로 사용하여 니켈(II) 이온의 흡착거동을 조사하였다. 흡착반응속도에 관하여 실험한 결과, 두 단계 흡착, 즉 한 시간 이내 빠르게 진행되는 흡착과 그 이후에는 느리게 진행되는 흡착으로 구분되었다. 흡착등은 실험에서는 Langmuir-Freundlich 흡착식을 만족하였으며 PH가 높을수록 최대흡착량이 증가함을 보였다. 이온강도의 변화에 따른 흡착량의 변화를 조사한 결과 어떤 뚜렷한 경향성을 보이지 않은 것으로 보아 니켈(II) 이온의 흡착은 정전기적 상호작용이라기 보다는 표면착물형성으로 이루어짐을 추정할 수 있었다. 일정한 이온강도에서 세 가지의 니켈(II) 이온 농도에서 pH를 변화시키면서 흡착량을 측정한 결과 니켈(II) 이온의 농도가 높을수록 흡착률은 감소했으며 흡착변곡점은 보다 높은 pH쪽으로 이동하였다.

한국기초과학지원연구원 부산센터에서 개발 중인 28 GHz ECRIS에 대한 마이크로파 패킷의 전파와 흡수에 대한 분석을 제한된 변수 범위 내에서 실시하였다. 28 GHz 자이로트론에서 발생된 마이크로파는 도파관 시스템을 거쳐 자기장 및 플라즈마 캐비티의 축방향으로 입사된다. 축방향 자기장만을 고려한 분석적 Ray Tracying에 의하면 고자기장 영역에서 준 종파로 입사된 전자기 파동의 패킷은 전자 사이클로트론 공명 영역으로 진행함에 따라 바깥 방향에서 안쪽 방향으로 방향을 바꾼다. 따라서 일정 수준의 전자밀도가 유지되면 입사 초기에 발산하던 파동은 공명에 의하여 플라즈마로 흡수되기 전에 전도체인 플라즈마 캐비티 벽에 충돌할 가능성이 크지 않음을 확인하였다. 또한 플라즈마로의 흡수율이 매우 크므로 인출부 벽에서 반사될 가능성도 크지 않다.

Spent nuclear fuels are regarded as a high level radioactive waste and they will be disposed in a deep geological repository. To maintain the safety of the repository for hundreds of thousands of years, the spent fuels are encapsulated in a disposal canister and the canister containing spent fuels should have the structural integrity and the corrosion resistance below the several hundreds meters from the ground surface. In this study, the concept of the spent fuel encapsulation process and the process equipment fur deep geological disposal were established. To do this, the design requirements, such as the functions and the spent fuel accumulations, were reviewed. Also, the design principles and the bases were established. Based on the requirements and the bases, the encapsulation process and the equipment from spent fuel receiving process to transferring canister into the underground repository including hot cell processes was established. The established concept of the spent fuel encapsulation process and the process equipment will be improved continuously with the future studies. And this concept can be effectively used in implementing the reference repository system of our own case.

현재, 감마 핵종 분석은 주로 무기섬광체 또는 반도체 검출기를 활용하여 여러 분야에 사용되고 있다. 이러한 검출기는 분해능이 좋지만 크기가 제한적이며, 가공성이 낮고 경제성이 플라스틱 섬광체보다 낮다. 따라서, 나노물질인 양자점과 플라스틱섬광체의 장점을 이용하여 양자점 나노물질 기반 플라스틱 섬광체를 개발하였다. 가장 많이 활용되고 있는 Cd계열 물질인 CdS/ZnS 양자점을 플라스틱 매트릭스에 교반하여 제작하였으며, 이를 ⁶⁰Co핵종 대상 계측 실험을 하여 상용플라스틱 섬광체의 성능과 비교 분석하였다. 상용플라스틱 섬광체 대비 CdS/ZnS 양자점 기반 플라스틱 섬광체가 20~30% 높은 효율을 보였다. 이는 의료분야뿐만 아니라 원자력 해체분야에서도 방사능 분석기로 활용 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

The grouping analysis is a method guided by the Korea Radioactive Waste Agency for efficient analysis of radioactive waste for disposal. In this study, experiments to verify the adequacy of grouping analysis were conducted with radioactive soil, concrete, and dry active waste in similar environments. First, analysis results of the major radionuclide concentrations in individual waste samples were reviewed to evaluate whether wastes from similar environments correspond to a single waste stream. As a result, the soil and concrete waste were identified as a single waste stream because the distribution range of radionuclide concentrations was "within a factor of 10", the range that meet the criterion of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission for a single waste stream. On the other hand, the dry active waste was judged to correspond to distinct waste streams. Second, after analyzing the composite samples prepared by grouping the individual samples, the population means of the values of "composite sample analysis results/individual sample analysis results" were estimated at a 95% confidence level. The results showed that all evaluation values for soil and concrete waste were within the set reference values (0.1-10) when five-package and ten-package grouping analyses were conducted, verifying the adequacy of the grouping analysis.

A magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) seawater propulsion thruster has been proposed to reduce propeller noise, propeller pitting, and vessel vibration originated from the propeller cavitation. The MHD thruster was also focused to overcome the limitation of propulsion velocity for the special purpose of marine ships. The research trends and key technologies in the worldwide leading countries are reviewed for the development of MHD propulsion thrusters in Korea. A small performance test device was developed firstly with a conventional solenoid magnet of ≤0.6 Tesla and a helical-type cylindrical duct(inner diameter of 5 cm) of thruster. The artificial seawater was fabricated by a salt solution including a conductivity of 5~6 S/m. The measured flow velocity of artificial seawater in the test device was 0.03~0.42 m/s (0.06~0.84 Knot) with a magnetic field strength of 0.6 Tesla and the applied currents of 10~80 A including the change of anode materials. It was found that the flow direction of seawater was reversed by the directional change of applied current in the solenoid magnet.

한국원자력연구원은 심부 암반의 수리/지화학 특성 분석을 위해 KURT (KAERI Underground Research Tunnel)를 건설하였고, 다수의 조사용 시추공을 시추하여 각종 시험을 수행 중이다. 시추공 조사에서 목적에 적합한 조사 구간 선정은 매우 중요하며 수리 유동 파악 및 지하수 채수가 목적인 경우, 유량이 풍부한 구간이 조사 목적에 부합한다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 구간을 수리 이상점으로 정의했으며, 심도 1km 수준의 시추공 물리검층 자료(온도, 전기전도도)를 활용하여 이를 탐지하고자 하였다. 체계적이고 효율적인 이상점 탐지를 위해 기계학습 알고리즘 중 DBSCAN, OCSVM, kNN, isolation forest을 적용하고 그 적용성을 파악하였다. 데이터 전처리와 알고리즘 최적화를 수행했으며, 그 결과 네 가지 알고리즘은 각각 55, 12, 52, 68개의 수리 이상점을 탐지하였다. 본 논문을 통해 기계학습 알고리즘의 활용 가능성을 확인했으나, 학습에 활용된 입력자료가 제한적이었기 때문에, 향후 추가적인 검증과 보완이 바람직한 것으로 판단된다.
