  • 원자력발전소의 화재방호규정은 정성적인 화재위험성평가와 정량적인 화재위험도분석에 기반을 두며, 화재위험은 심층화재방어개념인 화재 예방, 화재 진압, 및 피해 최소화의 3가지 요소에 균형을 유지하면서 화재방호계획에 의해 관리되고 있다. 최근 화재위험 상세평가는 일반적으로 존모델 또는 필드모델을 이용하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이런 추세에 따라 최신 화재모델링 도구인 FDS를 이용하여 원자력 발전소의 방화지역에 대한 정량적 화재위험분석 및 화재영향 평가가 가능한지 그 여부를 확인하였다. 이의 결과 화재모델링을 이용한 정량적 위험분석은 원자력발전소의 방화지역에 대한 정량적 위험도 분석뿐만 아니라 화재로 인한 원자로 노심 손상빈도를 개선할 수 있는 응용 도구로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

  • 가스 사용의 지속적인 증대로 이에 따른 가스의 제조, 취급, 사용이 점점 확대되어 관련 시설이 대형화, 복잡화되어, 이로 인한 크고 작은 사고가 지속적으로 발생하고 있다. 이러한 사고는 인명피해 및 물적 손실 뿐만 아니라 국가의 경제적인 손실의 큰 원인이 된다. 가스시설의 공통적으로 많은 부분을 차지하고 있는 Pipe Line 부분에 외부의 영향에 의한 사고가 가장 큰 위험요소를 가지고 있다. 특히, 도심지역 및 인구밀집지역의 경우의 고압가스배관의 사고 발생은 경제적 손실을 비롯한 보다 많은 손실을 야기시킬 수 있다. 이러한 매설배관의 사고에 대한 예방대책으로 여러 관련 기관에서는 가스배관에 대한 안전성을 확보하기 위해서는 전체 시스템의 파손 및 위험요소를 효과적으로 평가할 필요가 있다. 특히 가스배관이 설치되거나 작동되어 질 때에 이러한 파손(failure)의 가능성을 매우 작게 하더라도 위험요소가 존재하게 된다. 그러나 일단 파손이 발생하면 인명 및 재산상의 피해가 매우 크기 때문에 파손의 원인을 분석하여 파손사고의 비율을 최소한으로 낮추는 것이 필요하다. 그러므로 본 논문에서는 Scoring Model의 정성적 위험성 분석기법을 이용하여 매설배관의 위험성을 점수로 표현하여 정량적인 숫자로 표현하였다. 이러한 가시적인 평가의 결과는 매설배관의 안전을 확보하여 실질적인 매설배관의 유지관리를 하는데 있어서 매우 효율적으로 적용될 수 있을 것이다.

  • Objective: The study was planned with the purpose of examining the attitude of women who have pap-smear test for the early diagnosis of cervical cancer, factors affecting their decisions and their feelings and experiences during this period. Materials and Methods: A phenomenological method was used. Data were collected between March 2012 and April 2012 using standard and purposive samplings from 17 women. A detailed interview with women were held in their houses and recorded. The data collection tool consisted of two parts, one of which is information form with 17 questions identifying sociodemographic and cervical cancer risk factors of women and the second part is made up of semi-structured interview form with 15 alternative questions taking literature and the pap-smear test into consideration. Collected data were put into a written document. Content analysis was held by loading the documents into NVIVO 8 Statistical Programme. Results: The study comprised themes such as cervical risk factor, decision of taking pap-smear test, taking pap-smear test, knowledge about pap-smear test, relieving factors during pap-smear test, obstructive factors during pap-smear test, gynecological examination and feelings of women during and after pap-smear test while waiting for the results. Conclusions: As women perceive gynaecological examinations differently from other examinations, they have different feelings in each process of the Pap smear test. Medical staff should advise women more clearly on the nature and advantages of the Pap-smear test.

  • Objective: The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) and injection therapy through qualitative and quantitative analysis by synthesizing randomized controlled trials (RCTs) conducted on patients with various shoulder diseases. Design: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials Methods: This review conducted a literature search through international electronic databases in January 2023 to compare the effects of ESWT and injection therapy. Qualitative analysis was performed as a risk of bias tool, and quantitative analysis was synthesized with a random effect model to show the effect size as a standardized mean difference (SMD). Results: Five RCTs involving 298 individuals with shoulder disorders were included in this systematic review and meta-analysis. ESWT showed a moderate effect on pain (SMD=-0.44; 95% CI, -0.95 to 0.06) and a large effect on shoulder function (SMD =-0.81; 95% CI, -1.70 to 0.07) than injection therapy. A significant difference was found in the shoulder range of motion, showing a large effect size (SMD=1.50; 95% CI, 0.58 to 2.43). Conclusions: When considering treatment options for the management of patients complaining of shoulder disorders, it is appropriate to recommend ESWT first rather than injection therapy to increase the range of motion of the joint. In addition, ESWT is safe for pain control and shoulder function improvement, and a positive prognosis could be expected.

  • As the construction industry has been increasingly complex, aging workers, hard-working avoiding young generation, foreign workers having language problem for the past decades, delivering of construction qualified workers has been a rising problem. This misalignment between the complex jobs and the number of skilled workers will continue to be in issue that the construction industry will face for following decades. Construction field workers who are working outside in uncontrollable condition unlike manufacturing industry are exposed to easily construction safety accident. There are so many efforts to prevent and control the construction accident. However, the relationships between the construction works and construction safety accident has not been well dealt and investigated based on objective accident data except for the qualitative study through interview, delphi and so on. Therefore this study analyzes job risk matrix exposed to safety accidents based on statistic data for 20 years from Korean Occupational Safety & Health Agency in order to prevent the construction field accidents.

  • During the last ten years, the need has been increased for reducing maintenance cost for aged equipments and ensuring safety, efficiency and profitability of petrochemical and refinery plants. RBI (Risk Based Inspection) methodology is one of the most promising technologies satisfying the need in the field of integrity management. In this study, a user-friendly software, realRBl for RBI based on the API 581 code was developed. This software has modules for evaluating qualitative and semi-quantitative risk level, analyzing quantitative risks using the potential consequences of a failure of the pressure boundary, and assessing the likelihood of failure. A quantitative analysis was performed for 16 columns in a domestic NCC (Naphtha Cracking Center) plant whose operating time reaches about 12 years. Each column was considered as two equipment parts by dividing into top and bottom. Generic column failure frequencies were adjusted based on likelihood data. After determining release rate, release duration and release mass for each failure scenario, flammable/explosive and toxic consequences were assessed. Current risks for 32 equipment parts were evaluated and risk based prioritization were determined as a final result.
