Nuclear power is a way of attaining an enormous amount of energy with relatively small amount of resources and after it has been introduced to the submarine since 1954, there are approximately 150 of nuclear powered submarine currently on a mission around the world. This is due to the maneuverability, mountability and covertness of nuclear submarines. However, there are other tasks, not only the high level of nuclear technology that are needed to be dealt with in order to construct nuclear powered submarine. The biggest task of all is to secure the enriched uranium. Accordingly, this research is about the way of enriching and securing the nuclear fuel that are used in the nuclear submarine with the characteristics, merits and demerits of the nuclear submarine. Due to the fact that the pressurized water reactor in South Korea is the reactor that was originally built for the development of nuclear powered submarine, many parts is designed to be suitable for the submarine propulsion. However, in order to apply this to submarine it is needed to consider additional requests such as the position of reactor, accident-coping system, radioactive covering, reactor output adjustment and ship's pitch and roll in order to apply this to submarine. Nuclear submarines have much higher speed based on the powerful propulsion in comparison with diesel-electric submarine and also have bigger loading area. Besides, there is no need to snorkel and they also have advantages in covertness with the multi-noise proof system. The nuclear technology in South Korea has seen the dramatic development since 1962 and in 1998 reached to the level that we have succeeded in the localization of nuclear plant and exported the world-class one-piece small-sized reactor (SMART) to UAE. To operate these reactors, we import the whole quantity of low-enriched uranium and having our own uranium enrich facility is not probable because of the budget and international regulations. With the ROK/US nuclear agreement revised on 2015 November, the enrichment of uranium that are available without special permission has changed up to 20%. According to the assumption that we use the 20% enrichment of Uranium on U.S. virginia class submarine, it is necessary to change the fuel after 11 years and it will cause additional cost of 1 billion dollars. But the replace period by the uranium's enrichment rate is not fixed so that it is possible to change according to the design of reactor. Therefore, I would like to make a suggestion on two types of design concepts of nuclear submarine that can be operated for 30 years without nuclear fuel change by using the 20% enriched uranium from ONNp.First of all, it is possible by increasing the size of reactor by 3 times and it results in the 1,000t increase of the weight. And secondly, it is by designing the one piece reactor to insert devices such as steam turbine, condenser into the inside of nuclear core like the Rubis class submarines of France.

Lv.4 자율주행의 상용화를 위하여 안전한 도로환경과 자율주행차량이 안전하게 운행할 수 있는 구체적인 정의가 필요되고, 미래 교통안전 문제에 대비하기 위해 자율주행차량의 안전한 운행 여부를 판단할 수 있는 위험도 평가모델이 요구된다. 자율주행차량의 운행 위험요소를 선정 및 등급화를 수행하였으나, 자율주행차량의 사고 발생 원인과 운행 자료 구득에 어려움이 있어 자율주행 분야 전문가 설문조사를 활용하여 정성적 자료로 의사결정방법을 적용하였다. 의사결정자의 애매모호한 언어적 표현, 불확실함을 정량적 수치로 변환하는 퍼지-계층화 분석법을 통해 다기준 의사결정에 있어 기존의 계층화 분석법(AHP)의 단점을 보완할 수 있었다. 상위·하위속성들의 가중치 도출 과정을 거쳐, 물리적 인프라인 도로선형이 자율주행차량의 운행 위험도에 가장 중요한 위험요소로 분석되었다. 또한, 자율주행차량의 운행 위험도 범례를 통하여 평가 대상지 5곳에 대한 자율주행차량 운행 위험 여부를 도출하였다.
