In this paper, we reported an outbreak of fire hazard of ballast for fluorescent lamp. The surface structure and composition of ballast coil analyzed by using metallurgical microscope, scanning electron microscope(SEM) and energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy(EDX). The surface of molten mark appeared columnar structure and void. EDX analysis indicated that the molten mark spectra were composed not only of the corresponding original spectra but also of several new lines.

Two computational methods for determining equilibrium states for the Mark-IV electrorefiner (ER) have been assessed to improve the current computational electrorefiner model developed at University of Idaho. Both methods were validated against measured data to better understand their effects on the calculation of the equilibrium compositions in the ER. In addition, a sensitivity study was performed on the effect of specific unknown activity coefficients-including sodium in molten cadmium, zirconium in molten cadmium, and sodium chloride in molten LiCl-KCl. Both computational methods produced identical results, which stayed within the 95% confidence interval of the experimental data. Furthermore, sensitivity to unavailable activity coefficients was found to be low (a change in concentration of less than 3 ppm).

In this paper, we studied the short circuit current and molten mark of polyvinyl chloride insulated flexible cords(VFF). The calory decreased remarkably with increase of current. The surface structure and composition of a strand wire were analyzed by stereoscope, scanning electron microscope (SEM), and energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy(EDX). The surface of a strand wire showed columnar and void. The intensity of CuL spectrum increased in melted mark.

본 연구에서는 화재사례를 기반으로 원적외선 히터에서 출화된 화재의 원인 분석에 관하여 연구하였다. 전기히터의 화재는 열선에 용융 흔적으로 판단하여 과열 사고로 취급하는 오류를 범하기 쉽다. 이에 대해 히터의 화재 원인 규명에 있어서 객관적인 자료를 확보하기 위한 방법으로 정상 제품과 비교하여 다양한 재현 실험 및 분석기기를 이용하여 화재 원인을 분석하였다. 열선에 부착된 용융 흔적은 다른 금속 물질에 의한 층간 단락의 형태를 보이나 SEM/EDX로 성분분포를 분석한 결과 철-크롬-알루미늄이 혼합된 열선의 성분이외에 다른 금속 물질은 발견되지 않았다. 또한 층간단락 및 과전압에 의한 과열 실험을 수행한 결과 정상보다 높은 발열 상태를 보이나 화재 가능성은 없었다. 본 논문에서는 원적외선 히터에서 발생한 화재의 원인 분석을 토대로 하여 소손된 전열기의 화염 특성 및 물리 화학적 특성을 입체 분석하여 전기재해 원인 분석의 과학화에 기여하고자 한다.

A novel electrostatic spraying method to solidify molten zinc coating layer was studied by SEM and measurement of sample's temperature. The sprayed droplets also served as nucleation sites in the solidification reaction of molten zinc but might leave the pitting mark by impinging on its surface especially at high spray pressure. Our experimental results showed that electric field could change the sprayed particle trajectories and assist the fine droplets to attach on the surface. Thus, by reducing the spray pressure and by applying the electric voltage higher than -20 KV to charge the droplets electrostatically, we could produce the spangle free galvanized coating layer without pitting.

In this paper, we studied on the fire dispersive patterns and the fire progress at the power cord sets for low voltage appliances in the wall-model. For the experiment, we manufactured a wall-model and applied the external flame at the power cord sets. From the results, short-circuit of the power cord sets was haunted by the external flame it was disconnected with the flashing and the scattering. The fire progress on the polyvinyl chloride insulated flexibel cords is not observed because the ignition energy decreases. In case of rubber insulated flexible cords, however, the fire was progressed continuously. Molten marks were formed at a two electric wire by continuous electric discharge in power source part. A large molten mark was formed in load part. And the columnar structure and voids were observed in molten wire.

In this paper, we analyzed ignition characteristics of combustible material and the waveform of power dissipation, voltage and current by poor contact. And the surface structure of plug by poor contact was analyzed. In the results of experiment, the heat generated by poor contact and ignited the combustible material on power cord sets. The insulation material was molten and carbonized by the heat conduction though plug pit and voids were formed inside of insulation material. The waveform of voltage and power dissipation distorted because of a growth of oxidation by poor contact. In particular, in case that load was big load, the waveform of voltage and power dissipation severely distorted as with the passage of time. The surface of plug pin was changed from erosion mark to welding mark according to big load. The results will be applied to the cause analysis of electrical disaster.

In the wake of the Three Mile Island accident, vigorous research efforts were initiated to acquire a basic knowledge of the progression and consequences of accidents that involve a substantial degree of core degradation and melting. The primary emphasis of this research was placed on containment integrity, with: i) hydrogen combustion-detonation, ii) steam explosion, iii) direct containment heating (DCH), and iv) melt attack on the BWR Mark-I containment shell identified as energetic processes that could lead to early containment failure (i.e., within the first 24 hours of the accident). Should the core melt fail the reactor vessel, then non-condensable gas production from Molten Core-Concrete Interaction (MCCI) was identified as a mechanism that could fail the containment by pressurization over the long term. One signification question that arose as part of this investigation was the effectiveness of water in terminating an MCCI by flooding the interacting masses from above, thereby quenching the molten core debris and rendering it permanently coolable. Successful quenching of the core melt would prevent basemat melt through, as well as continued containment pressurization by non-condensable gas production, and so the accident progression would be successfully terminated without release of radioactivity to the environment. Based on these potential merits, ex-vessel corium coolability has been the focus of extensive research over the last 20 years as a potential accident management strategy for current plants. In addition, outcomes from this research have impacted the accident management strategies for the Gen III+LWR plant designs that are currently being deployed around the world. This paper provides: i) an historical overview of corium coolability research, ii) summarizes the current status of research in this area, and iii) highlights trends in severe accident management strategies that have evolved based on the findings from this work.

본 연구에서는 서비스센터에서 정비를 받고 출고한 날로부터 5일 후 터널 주행 중에 발생한 디젤승용차 화재 사례를 조사분석하였다. 조사분석한 결과, 배기구 내부에 흰색 이물질이 다량 부착되어 있었고, 배기관의 중간에 설치된 diesel particulate filter (DPF) 위쪽의 차열재가 용융 및 소실되어 있었고, DPF 위쪽의 차실 내부 금속재 바닥이 천공되어 금속재 바닥 위에 놓인 고무매트가 연소된 케이스이었다. 그리고 DPF 앞쪽의 배기관에는 과열흔적이 없고 DPF부터 배기구까지의 배기관에 과열흔적이 있는 특이점이 있었다. 이러한 특이점들은 DPF가 과열되고 DPF에서 발화된 경우에만 나타나므로 이 승용차화재는 DPF 내부 과열에 의해 발생한 것으로 분석할 수 있었다. 그리고 이 승용차화재조사를 통해 디젤승용차 화재원인조사 과정에서 배기구 내부에서 흰색 이물질이 확인되는 경우에는 DPF를 분리하여 DPF 내부의 손상을 조사하여 화재원인을 판정하여야 함을 알 수 있었다.
