A high-level nuclear waste (HLW) repository is designed for the long-term disposal of high-level waste. Positioned at depths of 500-1000 meters, it offers an alternative to the insufficient storage space for spent fuels, providing a long-term solution. High-level waste emits heat and radiation, causing structural deterioration, including strength reduction and cracks. Therefore, the use of piezoelectric sensors for structural health monitoring is essential for evaluating the safety of the structure over time. Unlike other structures, the HLW repository restricts human access after the disposal of HLW, rendering sensor replacement impossible. Therefore, it is necessary to assess both the lifespan and suitability of sensors under the disposal conditions in the HLW repository. This study employed an accelerated life test (ALT) to assess the sensor's lifespan under disposal conditions. Failure modes, failure mechanisms, and operational limits were analyzed through accelerated stress test (AST). Additionally, the parameters of the Weibull life probability distribution and the Arrhenius accelerated life model were estimated through statistical methods, including the likelihood ratio test, maximum likelihood estimation, and hypothesis testing. Results confirmed that the sensor's lifespan decreases significantly with the increase in the temperature limit of the HLW repository. The findings of this study can be used for improving sensor lifespan through shielding, development of alternative sensors, or lifespan evaluation of alternative monitoring sensors.

To test the effectiveness of using an energy storage system for frequency regulation, the Energy New Business Laboratory at KEPCO Research Institute installed a 4 MW energy storage system (ESS) demonstration facility at the Jocheon Substation on Jeju Island. And after the successful completion of demonstration operations, a total of 52 MW ESS for frequency regulation was installed in Seo-Anseong (28 MW, governor-free control) and in Shin-Yongin (24 MW, automatic generation control). The control system used in these two sites was based on the control system developed for the 4 MW ESS demonstration facility. KEPCO recently finished the construction of 184 MW ESS for frequency regulation in 8 locations, (e.g. Shin-Gimjae substation, Shin-Gaeryong substation, etc.) and they are currently being tested for automatic operation. KEPCO plans to construct additional ESS facilities (up to a total of about 500 MW for frequency regulation by 2017), thus, various operational tests would first have to be conducted. The high-speed characteristic of ESS can negatively impact the power system in case the 500 MW ESS is not properly operated. At this stage we need to verify how effectively the 500 MW ESS can regulate frequency. In this paper, the effect of using ESS for frequency regulation on the power system of Korea was studied. Simulations were conducted to determine the effect of using a 524 MW ESS for frequency regulation. Models of the power grid and the ESS were developed to verify the performance of the operation system and its control system. When a high capacity power plant is tripped, a 24 MW ESS supplies power automatically and 4 units of 125MW ESS supply power manually. This study only focuses on transient state analysis. It was verified that 500 MW ESS can regulate system frequency faster and more effectively than conventional power plants. Also, it was verified that time-delayed high speed operations of multiple ESS facilities do not negatively impact power system operations. It is recommended that further testing be conducted for a fleet of multiple ESSs with different capacities distributed over multiple substations (e.g. 16, 24, 28, and 48 MW ESS distributed across 20 substations) because each ESS measures frequency individually. The operation of one ESS facility will differ from the other ESSs within the fleet, and may negatively impact the performance of the others. The following are also recommended: (a) studies wherein all ESSs should be operated in automatic mode; (b) studies on the improvement of individual ESS control; and (c) studies on the reapportionment of all ESS energies within the fleet.

원자력발전소의 사용후핵연료(Spent Nuclear Fuel: SNF)에 대한 최종처분은 지하 심부의 지질학적 저장소에서 이루어진다. 사용후핵연료를 감싸는 금속처분용기는 주철과 구리 등으로 제작되어 방사성핵종을 장기간 격리할 예정이며, 공학적방벽과 천연방벽으로 구성된 다중방벽처분시스템에 의해 보호를 받도록 설계된다. 지하 심부의 환경(심층처분환경)은 점차 무산소의 환원환경으로 바뀌게 되며, 이러한 환경에서 구리처분용기의 부식을 일으킬 수 있는 유력한 물질 중 하나는 황화물이다. 황화물에 의한 응력균열부식은 구리처분용기의 안정성을 크게 저하시켜 처분장의 장기안전성에 큰 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 심층처분환경에는 황산염이 다양한 형태로 존재 또는 유입될 수 있으며, 황산염환원미생물에 의해 황화물로 전환되어 구리처분용기의 부식에 기여할 수 있다. 완충재와 뒤채움재의 유력한 후보물질인 벤토나이트에는 주로 석고(CaSO₄)와 같은 산화형태의 황산염 광물이 포함되어 있다. 심층처분환경 내에 미생물이 생장할 만한 공간이 있고 유기 탄소 등 전자공여체가 충분히 공급된다면 미생물 활동에 의해 황산염이 황화물로 환원될 수 있다. 하지만 근계영역에서 생성된 황화물과 지권으로부터 유입되는 황화물 중 대부분은 완충재에 의해 차단되어 극히 일부만이 처분용기에 도달할 것이다. 처분환경에서 존재가능한 황화철 광물 중 하나인 황철석은 용해과정에서 황산염을 발생시켜 구리처분용기의 부식에 기여할 수 있다. 하지만 황철석의 극히 낮은 용해도로 인해 산화 생성물의 양은 매우 적을 것이고 포화된 벤토나이트의 낮은 수리전도도로 인해 처분용기로 산화 생성물의 이동은 제한될 것이다. 우리는 심층처분환경에서 황산염의 존재와 환원 그리고 황화물과 황철석의 형성 및 거동 특성 등에 관한 주요 연구 사례 등을 종합적으로 분석, 정리하였고, 고준위방사성폐기물 처분장의 장기안전성에 대한 황산염과 황화물의 영향을 이해하고자 하였다.

This paper suggests a dynamic balanced scorecard (DBSC) model employing the concept of system dynamics (SD), which could overcome the limitations inherent in the conventional balanced scorecard (BSC) and facilitate strategic learning process in organizations. The BSC has been a successful framework for measuring an organization＇s performance in various Perspectives through translating an organization＇s vision and strategy into an interrelated set of key performance indicators and specific actions. The BSC, while having significant strengths over traditional performance measurement methods, however, has its own limitations, due to its static nature, such as overlooking two-way causation between performance Indicators and neglecting the impact of delayed feedback flowing from the adoption of new strategies or policy changes. To overcome these limitations, we employs SD, a methodology for understanding complex systems where dynamic feedback among the interrelated system components significantly impact on the system outcomes. The SD simulation model in the form of DBSC we suggest in this paper would serve as a useful strategic learning tool for facilitating an organization＇s communication process through various scenario analyses as well as predicting the dynamic behavior pattern of their key performance measures over a future time frame. For the demonstration purpose, we apply the DBSC model to Korea Coal Corporation (KoCoal ) BSC case.

This paper introduces the performance test of the prototype vehicle, which will be in operation for Urban Maglev Program. While common trains with steel wheels use rotary induction motors for propulsion, maglev trains gain thrust force from linear induction motors maintaining the constant airgap with levitation electromagnets. Therefore, not only the behavior of the linear induction motor should be well understood, but also the way of propulsion that minimizes its effect on the levitation system should be took into account. Performance test procedures of maglev trains are proposed and carried out, and the characteristics of acceleration and deceleration are verified to agree with the design criteria. Tests are mainly performed on the linear section of the test line, and the driving characteristics on the section with a 6‰ incline are examined additionally. As a result, the performance of the prototype vehicle in the reverse operation can satisfy the requirement about the acceleration and deceleration, 4.0$m/s^2$. And, the design modifications of the commercial vehicle and the performance specifications required on the demonstration line are investigated.
