열을 전기로 바꾸는 장치로 가장 효율이 우수한 장치인 AMTEC은 알칼리금속을 작동유체로 하여 열을 직접적으로 전기로 변환시키는 장치이다. AMTEC은 저압용기, 고압용기, 베타 알루미나 고체 전해질, 그리고 순환윅으로 이루어져있다. AMTEC에서의 열손실은 주요하게 저압용기에서의 BASE와 응축부 사이에서 발생하는 열복사손실이며, 암텍의 발전량은 BASE의 온도유지력에 영향을 받기에 BASE의 표면온도를 고온으로 유지시켜주어야 고효율 발전량은 일정하게 유지할 수 있다. 이를 위하여 저압챔버에서의 복사 열손실을 줄이고 BASE온도는 상승시키고, AMTEC 시스템의 발전량 향상을 위하여 저압용기 내부의 6가지 형태의 열복사차단막에 따른 출력을 전산유체해석을 통하여 분석하였다. 분석에서 최적의 열복사차단막 형상은 수직부에 곡률을 가질 때이며, 그 때의 온도에 대한 무차원수(응축부온도/BASE온도 비)는 0.665 정도이고 출력은 약 17.69 W 정도로 다른 형상에 대비하여 높은 발전량을 갖는 것으로 계산되었다. 높이에 따른 발전량의 차이에서는 수평차단막이 BASE 상부로부터 멀리 떨어진 경우 발전량이 가장 우수하며, 17.58W 정도로 나타났다. 여러 개의 작은 홀과 다중 수평차단막을 설계한 경우는 기준이 되는 형상보다 오히려 발전량이 감소하였으며, 각각 0.91W, 2.06W 정도 감소하였다.

원자력 발전소의 중수누출에 따른 삼중수소 농도증가에 의한 방사선 내부피폭과 이에 대한건강영향평가를 실시하였다. 전체 22명 가운데 13명에 대하여 검사를 실시하였으며, 이들의 내부피폭량은 $0{\sim}4.44\;mSv$ 였다. 일반혈액검사 중 백혈구수치의 변화를 이용하여 평가한 결과에서 결정적 영향에 대한 특이사항은 나타나지 않았으며, 생물학적 선량평가 방법을 이용한 체내피폭량은 $0{\sim}37\;mGy$로 확인되었다. 결론적으로 방사선 피폭은 허용한도를 초과하지 않았으며, 결정적 영향인 임상적 증상이 보이지 않았다. 이와 같이 의학적 징후와 선량평가 추정치와의 일치성은 사고시 특히 물리적 생물학적 선량평가가 유용함을 보여 준다.

Because US plays a key role in the initial evaluation of hepatic hemangiomas, knowledge of the entire spectrum of US appearances of these tumors is important. Most hemangiomas have a distinctive US appearance, and even with those with atypical appearances on conventional gray-scale US, specific diagnoses can be made using pulse-inversion harmonic US with contrast agents. In this essay, we review the spectrum of US appearances of hepatic hemangiomas on conventional gray-scale, power Doppler, and pulse-inversion harmonic US with contrast agents.

The worldwide energy market is enlarging rapidly according to current issues like globalization, deregulation, global warming and strengthening for environmental regulation as well as the energy technology is developing speedily by the add of information and communication techniques. In spite of these advanced techniques in the field of the renewable energy, solar power depends on the governmental aid largely in comparison with other renewable energy sources because of the high initial investment cost. Therefore it is important to investigate scrupulously for the expected erection site of solar power plant from the planning stage. This paper shows actual measurement data of solar radiation of scheduled solar power locations in the waterworks site with consideration of waterworks facilities and regional specialties and presents the data which was analyzed comparably with the radiation data of adjacent locations served by national authorities. In addition, these data were analyzed using RETScreen and used for making decision on the business validity.

In laser materials processing, localized heating, melting and evaporation caused by focused laser radiation forms a vapor on the material surface. The plume is generally an unstable entity, fluctuating according to its own dynamics. The beam is refracted and absorbed as it traverses the plume, thus modifying its power density on the surface of the condensed phases. This modifies material evaporation and optical properties of the plume. A laser-produced plasma plume simulation is completed using axisymmetric, high-temperature gas dynamic model including the laser radiation power absorption, refraction, and reflection. The physical properties and velocity profiles are verified using the published experimental and numerical results. The simulation results provide the effect of plasma plume fluctuations on the laser power density and quantitative beam radius changes on the material surface. It is proved that beam absorption, reflection and defocusing effects through the plume are essential to obtain appropriate mathematical simulation results. It is also found that absorption of the beam in the plume has much less direct effect on the beam power density at the material surface than defocusing does and helium gas is more efficient in reducing the beam refraction and absorption effect compared to argon gas for common laser materials processing.

Dose optimization for Radioactive Occupational Personal (ROP) is an important subject in nuclear and radiation safety field. The geometric environment of a nuclear facility is complex and the work area is radioactive, so traditional navigation model and radioactive data field cannot form an effective environment model for dose assessment and dose optimization. The environment model directly affects dose assessment and indirectly affects dose optimization, this is an urgent problem needed to be solved. Therefore, this paper focuses on an environment model used for Dose Assessment and Dose Optimization (DA&DO). We designed a multi-layer radiation field coupling modeling method, and then explored the influence of the environment model to DA&DO by virtual simulation. Then, a simulation test is done, the multi-layer radiation field coupling model for nuclear facilities is demonstrated to be effective for dose assessment and dose optimization through the experiments and analysis.

In this research, the radiation resistance of ethylene propylene rubber (EPR) and chlorosulfonated polyethylene (CSPE) which can be used as a insulating materials of for electrical cable in the nuclear power plant were investigated. EPR and CSPE were irradiated by ${\gamma}$-ray at various doses ranging from 50 to 500 kGy at room temperature in air. The irradiated EPR and CSPE was investigated in terms of activation energy, mechanical properties, and oxidation stability. The experimental results revealed that CSPE exhibited the higher radiation resistance in comparison to that of EPR.

By optimizing the radiation protection the collective dose and individual dose could be reduced during YGN #4 $5^{th}$ outage in 2001. The collective doses for the two high radiation jobs decreased to 85% and 65% of expected doses. The proportion of workers with low dose (below 1mSv) exposure increased 4% while the proportion of workers with over 3mSv and 5mSv exposure are decreased to 2%, 1% respectively. But none is exposed over 8mSv for the annual dose. To aid decision of utilizing the robot, cost- benefit analysis was performed and reasonable point was proposed to use the robot. For the first time job, repeated ALARA meeting and mock up training were implemented to set up working procedure by identifying the trouble. To easily set up standard procedure, mockup process was videotaped and reviewed during ALARA meeting. Monitoring is a good approach to chase radiological working condition such as working time, dose rate. behavior of workers, especially for high radiation work. Those data were estimated and adjusted from the stage of work planning to mock up. At the stage of actual work the monitoring data were compared to the estimation and recorded to database. This database will not only be used as a powerful tool for dose optimization at the following outage but also as a guideline to dose constraint set up for optimization for each specific situation.
