Based on the observation that ignoring the angle dependency of multigroup resonance cross sections within a fuel pellet would result in nontrivial underestimation of the spatial self-shielding of flux, a parametrized spectral superhomogenization (SPH) factor library (PSSL) method is developed as a practical means of resolving the problem. Region-wise spectral SPH factors are calculated by the normal and transport corrected SPH iterations after ultrafine group slowing down calculations over various light water reactor pin-cell configurations. The parametrization is done with fuel temperature, U-238 number density, fuel radius, moderator source represented by ${\Sigma}_{mod}V_{mod}$, and the number density ratio of resonance nuclides to that of U-238 in a form of resonance interference correction factors. The parametrization is successful in that the root mean square errors of the interpolated SPH factors over the fuel regions of various pin-cells are within 0.1%. The improvement in reactivity error of the PSSL method is shown to be superior to that by the original SPH method in that the reactivity bias of -200 pcm to -300 pcm vanishes almost completely. It is demonstrated that the environment effect takes only about 4% in the reactivity improvement so that the pin-cell based PSSL method is effective in the assembly problems.

Polycarbonate thermoplastic composite materials are anisotropic and exhibit physical properties in the longitudinal direction. Therefore, the physical properties depend on the type and direction of reinforcements. The thermal conductivity, electrical conductivity, and resin impregnation can be controlled by adding carbon nanotubes to polycarbonate resin. However, the carbon fiber used as a reinforcing material is expensive, interfacial adhesion issues occur, and simulation values are different from actual values, making it difficult to perform mathematical analysis. However, carbon nanotubes have advantages such as light weight, rigidity, impact resistance, and reduced number of parts compared to metals. Due to these advantages, it has been applied to various products to reduce weight, improve corrosion resistance, and increase impact durability. As the content of carbon nanotubes or carbon fibers increases, the mechanical properties and antistatic and electromagnetic shielding performance improve. It is expected that the amount of carbon nanotubes or carbon fibers can be optimized and applied to various industrial products.

A photoelectric dimming control system for a small private office space with a double skin envelope system was analyzed for the purpose of examining optimum control performances under a variety of daylight conditions. Computer simulations were performed for the three different photosensor types positioned at the center of ceiling in the space. They were applied in both a south and north-facing room. Daylight conditions were a fixed horizontal venetian blind on an external envelope and a retractable shading device on an internal envelope under a clear, intermediate and overcast sky at different times of a day and year. Partially-shielded photosensors provided good control performances providing the required electric light output under clear and intermediate sky conditions. Unshielded photosensors failed to provide necessary illuminance levels producing less electric output and fully-shielded photosensors generally provided excessive light output. Reasonable electric lighting energy savings were achieved except under overcast sky conditions where the control system did not contribute to energy savings due to the less daylight through envelopes. The retractable shading device covering 50% of the internal envelope reduced energy savings up to 19.62%, but the workplane illuminance levels were maintained within recommended ranges. The coefficients of determination between workplane illuminance and photosensor illuminance due to daylight ranged from 0.74 to 0.98. Partially-shielded conditions provided best correlations and the north-facing room yielded stronger correlation than the south-facing room.

A typical honeycomb sandwich panel consists of two thin, high-strength facings bonded to a thick, light-weight core. Each component by itself is relatively weak and flexible, but when it combind in a sandwich panel they produce a structure that is stiff, strong, and lightweight. In addition to use in honeycomb sandwich panels, honeycomb is used for energy absorption, radio frequency shielding, light diffusion, and to direct air flow.Accordingly, the usage of honeycomb sandwich structure is very widely applied to the aircraft, the automobile, and marine industry, etc., because of these advantages. Generally, this honeycomb sandwich structure is manufactured by autoclave process.In this study, the honeycomb sandwich structure was produced by prepreg. To prove the suitability the honeycomb sandwich structure with prepreg, The optimum design of the skin materials and honeycomb sandwich structure were evaluated with the theory of stress analysis.

현재 우리나라는 포항방사광가속기와 국립암센터의 양성자 치료용 가속기와 경주 양성자 가속기가 운영되고 있고 중이온 가속기, 4세대 방사광가속기 등 대형가속기 시설이 건설 중에 있다. 이들 시설에서 고에너지로 가속된 입사입자는 표적물질과 상호작용 후 2차 중성자를 발생시키고, 이 중성자는 가속기 구조물 및 주변 콘크리트, 토양, 지하수 등을 방사화 시킨다. 따라서 이러한 가속기 시설의 안전적 측면을 고려할 때 방사화를 일으키는 중성자의 차폐가 중요하다. 본 연구는 차폐해석에 사용되는 몬테카를로 코드 중 MCNPX를 이용하여 $^{12}C$ beam빔과 표적물질(Cu)과의 상호작용 후 생성되는 중성자를 계산하고, 그 중성자의 철 차폐체와 콘크리트 차폐체의 두께별 투과 후 스펙트럼을 MCNPX의 JENDL/HE 07과 la150을 이용해 비교하여 계산하였다. 빔의 방향과 차폐체의 종류 및 두께에 따라 그 결과를 실험값과 비교하여 검증함으로써 핵자료의 특성을 확인하였으며 향후 대형가속기시설의 선량평가용 기반기술로 활용하고자 하였다.

본 논문에서는 항공기 내의 RF 방사 신호로 인하여 비상 유압 경고등이 비정상으로 점등되는 현상에 대한 개선 방안을 연구하였다. RF 방사 신호의 전자파 간섭으로 비행 중에 비상 유압 시스템의 경고등이 점등되면, 비행 임무 및 안전에 영향을 주어 비행 임무의 효율 저해 및 정비 소요가 발생한다. 따라서, 비상 유압 경고등의 비정상 점등에 대해서 원인 분석 및 고장탐구를 수행하였다. RF 방사 신호의 경로에 있는 항공기의 동체 하부 복합체 스트립을 차폐하여 비상유입지시계로 유입되는 RF 방사 신호를 차단하도록 개선하였다. 또한, 지상과 비행 모니터링을 통해 개선 방안을 적용한 결과도 함께 기술하였다.

The electron beam machining provides very high resolution up to nanometer scale, hence the E-Beam writing technology is rapidly growing in MEMS and nano-engineering areas. For E-Beam machining, $2^{nd}$ electron detector is required to see a machined sample at the stage. The $2^{nd}$ electron detector is composed of scintillator and photomultiplier with signal amplifier and high voltage power supplier. Since a photomultiplier tube is an extremely high-sensitivity photodetector, the signal light level to be detected is very low and therefore particular care must be exercised in shielding external light. In this paper, the design methodology of $2^{nd}$ electron detector and the image noise removal method are introduced.

The synthesis of urocanic acid which was started D-fructose, and its alkyl esters, urocanic ethyl ester and urocanic isobutyl ester, were prepared by esterificated. Urocanic ethyl ester and urocanic isobutyl ester were insoluble in water and soluble most organic solvents (ethanol, benzene, toluene, pyridine, THF, DMF) which adds to their practical applicability, and absorb ultraviolet light of greater wavelength than the free acid and there by are more effective for shielding sensitive materials, including the humanbody, from the chemically most effective portion of the solar ultraviolet spectrum.

In this research, 3D position exploring system was developed to detect direction and position of radiation source by using two general CCD camera. This system consists of a radiation detection device, a controlling device, and a monitoring device. A radiation detection device is composed of a collimator, a scintillator, CCD sensor, and radiation shielding part. Incident radiation is firstly collimated with direction and converted into visual lights in a scintillator. The CCD sensor detect the converted visual light and send a signal as an image. This can explore a radiation source with direction and distance from geometrical structure of two sensors. From these information, the developed 3D position exploring system can provide 3D radiation source information. This research will be useful for managing and processing radioactive materials in remote.

In order to properly quantify fission reactor neutronics parameter uncertainties, we have to use covariance data and sensitivity profiles consistently. In the present paper, we establish two consistent methodologies for uncertainty quantification: a self-shielded cross section-based consistent methodology and an infinitely-diluted cross section-based consistent methodology. With these methodologies and the covariance data of uranium-238 nuclear data given in JENDL-3.3, we quantify uncertainties of infinite neutron multiplication factors of light water reactor and fast reactor fuel cells. While an inconsistent methodology gives results which depend on the energy group structure of neutron flux and neutron-nuclide reaction cross section representation, both the consistent methodologies give fair results with no such dependences.
