Major problems involved in an electrical utility expansion planning within a time horizon are how to efficiently deal with objectives considering multiple factors and uncertainty. But justification factors in study these days have considered only quantitative factors except qualitative factors. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to develop a new model for economic evaluation of nuclear power plants through the scoring model with the quantitative and qualitative factors under uncertainty. The quantitative factors use a levelized generation cost method considering time value of money. Especially, the environmental, risk, and safety factors in this paper have been also explained for the rational economic justification of the qualitative factors under uncertainty. This paper not only proposes a new approach method using the scoring model in evaluating economy of the nuclear power plant in the long term, but also provides the more efficient decision making criterion for nuclear power plants under uncertainty.

The purpose of this study was to provide information about exhibits for nuclear energy in science museums. This analysed form and content of exhibits of science museums. The subjects were exhibits of 3 science museums; Seoul science park, Seoul national science museum, Gwachen national science museum. The research results were as follows: First, 3 science museums had similar methods of exhibits and types of explanations because of speciality of theme. 3 science museums had mostly fixed exhibit. Panel was the most types of explanations in 3 science museums. Second, 3 science museums had similar contents of exhibits. They dealt with nuclear power generation and radiation. However, Some parts such as radioactive waste, nuclear fusion generation had different. This study suggests that exhibits for nuclear energy of science museums use a variety of methods and types of explanation. Also, science museums need to increase exhibits for nuclear energy.

Leak-before-break(LBB) approach has been shown to be both cost and risk effective by reducing maintenance cost and occupational exposure when applied to high energy piping in nuclear power plants. For Korean Next Generation Reactor(KNGR) development, LBB is considered for the Main Steam Line(MSL) piping inside containment. Unlike the reactor coolant piping leakages which can be detected by particulate and gaseous radiation monitoring, main steam line leak detection systems must be based on principles that do not involve radioactivity. Ceramics are widely used as humidity sensor materials which can be further developed for nuclear applications. In this paper, we describe the progress in the development of ceramic humidity sensors for use with the main steam lines of KNGR.

본 연구에서는 국내 4개 원전 부지에서 가동 중인 20기에 대한 보건영향을 평가하였다. 이를 위해 국제원자력기구가 최근 개발하여 보급하고 있는 원전에 대한 평가도구인 '뉴크팩스(NukPacts) 모형'을 활용하였다. 국내 원전의 부지별 피폭 경로에 따른 중대 영향인자를 분석하고 보건영향 발생 빈도를 비교하며, 보건영향의 연간 피해비용을 산출하여 발전량당 피해비용을 유럽 국가의 산출 결과와 비교하였다. 동일 배출량 조건 하에서의 상대적 중요도, 피폭 경로의 상대적 중요도 및 연도별 경향 분석 등을 통해 부지별로 가장 크게 영향을 미치는 방사성물질을 분석하여 최소 비용으로 그 효과를 극대화할 수 있는 방안을 도출하였다. 주요 입력 파라미터의 변화에 따른 영향을 분석하기 위하여 인구 밀도, 유효 배출 고도 등에 대한 민감도 분석을 수행하였다.

This paper describes the forecast of power plant construction in a competitive korean electricity market. In Korea, KEPCO (Korea Electric Power Corporation, fully controlled by government) was responsible for from the production of the electricity to the sale of electricity to customer. However, the generation part is separated from KEPCO and six generation companies were established for whole sale competition from April 1st, 2001. The generation companies consist of five fossil power companies and one nuclear power company in Korea at present time. Fossil power companies are scheduled to be sold to private companies including foreign investors. Nuclear power company is owned and controlled by government. The competition in generation market will start from 2003. ISO (Independence System Operator will purchase the electricity from the power exchange market. The market price is determined by the SMP(System Marginal Price) which is decided by the balance between demand and supply of electricity in power exchange market. Under this uncertain circumstance, the energy policy planners such as government are interested to the construction of the power plant in the future. These interests are accelerated due to the recent shortage of electricity supply in California. In the competitive market, investors are no longer interested in the investment for the capital intensive, long lead time generating technologies such as nuclear and coal plants. Large unclear and coal plants were no longer the top choices. Instead, investors in the competitive market are interested in smaller, more efficient, cheaper, cleaner technologies such as CCGT(Combined Cycle Gas Turbine). Electricity is treated as commodity in the competitive market. The investors behavior in the commodity market shows that the new investment decision is made when the market price exceeds the sum of capital cost and variable cost of the new facility and the existing facility utilization depends on the marginal cost of the facility. This investors behavior can be applied to the new investments for the power plant. Under these postulations, there is the potential for power plant construction to appear in waves causing alternating periods of over and under supply of electricity like commodity production or real estate production. A computer model was developed to sturdy the possibility that construction will appear in waves of boom and bust in Korean electricity market. This model was constructed using System Dynamics method pioneered by Forrester(MIT, 1961) and explained in recent text by Sternman (Business Dynamics, MIT, 2000) and the recent work by Andrew Ford(Energy Policy, 1999). This model was designed based on the Energy Policy results(Ford, 1999) with parameters for loads and resources in Korea. This Korea Market Model was developed and tested in a small scale project to demonstrate the usefulness of the System Dynamics approach. Korea electricity market is isolated and not allowed to import electricity from outsides. In this model, the base load such as unclear and large coal power plant are assumed to be user specified investment and only CCGT is selected for new investment by investors in the market. This model may be used to learn if government investment in new unclear plants could compensate for the unstable actions of private developers. This model can be used to test the policy focused on the role of unclear investments over time. This model also can be used to test whether the future power plant construction can meet the government targets for the mix of generating resources and to test whether to maintain stable price in the spot market.
