  • A radiological safety assessment study was performed for the transportation of low level radioactive wastes which are temporarily stored in Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI), Daejeon, Korea. We considered two kinds of wastes: (1) operation wastes generated from the routine operation of facilities; and (2) decommissioning wastes generated from the decommissioning of a research reactor in KAERI. The important part of the radiological safety assessment is related to the exposure dose assessment for the incidentfree (normal) transportation of wastes, i.e., the radiation exposure of transport personnel, radiation workers for loading and unloading of radioactive waste drums, and the general public. The effective doses were estimated based on the detailed information on the transportation plan and on the radiological characteristics of waste packages. We also estimated radiological risks and the effective doses for the general public resulting from accidents such as an impact and a fire caused by the impact during the transportation. According to the results, the effective doses for transport personnel, radiation workers, and the general public are far below the regulatory limits. Therefore, we can secure safety from the viewpoint of radiological safety for all situations during the transportation of radioactive wastes which have been stored temporarily in KAERI.

  • 본 논문에서는 GBAS의 VDB 시스템에 사용되는 4각 배열 다이폴 안테나를 하나의 안테나로 대체할 수 있는 3중 폴디드 무지향성 마이크로스트립 안테나(중심주파수 118 MHz)를 제안하였다. 먼저 λ/2 마이크로스트립 안테나에서 무지향성 방사 패턴을 얻기 위해 λ/4로 폴디드된 안테나를 제작하였으며, 또한 섭동 효과를 이용하여 3중 폴디드 형태의 소형화된 안테나로 변형시켰다. 그 결과, 중심주파수 118MHz 대역에서 S11은 -13.91 dB, -10 dB 대역폭은 1.5 MHz(1.27%)의 특성을 얻었다. 또한, yz-plane, xy-plane에서 Eθ 성분이 전방향성 방사 패턴을 나타내며, 안테나의 크기는 기준안테나 대비 64.2% 소형화를 얻어, 최종적으로 제안된 하나의 안테나로써 GBAS의 VDB용 안테나로써 적합함을 확인하였다.

  • 1,300 MWe 가압경수로 공동내에서 중성자의 흐름해석이 수행되었다. 중성자의 흐름을 해석하는데는 1차원 수송코드인 ANISN, 2차원 수송코드인 DOT3.5, 3차원 Monte Carlo 코드인 TRIPOLI-02와 이들을 접속시켜주는 DOTTRI 등의 전산코드가 이용되었고, 본 계산에 사용된 전산기는 IBM 3033형이었다. 계산된 선속 및 선량율은 900 MW 가압경수로의 공동내에서 측정한 측정치와 비교검토 되었고, 그 결과 중성자 군별로 약간의 오차는 있었으나 전체적으로 큰 오차는 없었다. 이 결과는 대용량의 원자로 차폐설계, 원자로보수시, 기타 원자로 공동내에 출입할 경우에 방사선방어상 필요한 방어수단을 제공하는데 기여하였다.

  • Embodying the safety of radioactive waste disposal requires the relevant safety criteria and the corresponding stylized methods to demonstrate its compliance with the criteria. This paper proposes a conceptual model of risk-based safety evaluation for integrating complex potential radiation exposure situations in radioactive waste disposal. For demonstrating compliance with a risk constraint, the approach deals with important exposure scenarios from the viewpoint of the receptor to estimate the resulting risk. For respective exposure situations, it considers the occurrence probabilities of the relevant exposure scenarios as their probability of giving rise to doses to estimate the total risk to a representative person by aggregating the respective risks. In this model, an exposure scenario is simply constructed with three components:radionuclide release, radionuclide migration and environment contamination, and interaction between the contaminated media and the receptor. A set of exposure scenarios and the representative person are established from reasonable combinations of the components, based on a balance of their occurrence probabilities and the consequences. In addition, the probability of an exposure scenario is estimated on the assumption that the initiating external factors influence release mechanisms and transport pathways, and its effect on the interaction between the environment and the receptor may be covered in terms of the representative person. This integrated approach enables a systematic risk assessment for complex exposure situations of radioactive waste disposal and facilitates the evaluation of compliance with risk constraints.

  • Extinction characteristics of hydrogen-air diffusion flames at various pressures are investigated numerically by adopting counterflow flame configuration as a model flamelet. Especially, effect of radiative heat loss on flame extinction is emphasized. Only gas-phase radiation is considered here and it is assumed that $H_2O$ is the only radiating species. Radiation term depends on flame thickness, temperature, $H_2O$ concentration, and pressure. From the calculated flame structures at various pressures, flame thickness decreases with pressure, but its gradient decreases at high pressure. Flame temperature and mole fraction of $H_2O$ increase slightly with pressure. Accordingly, as pressure increases, radiative heat loss becomes dominant. When radiative heat loss is considered, radiation-induced extinction is observed at low strain rate in addition to transport-induced extinction. As pressure increases, flammable region, where flame is sustained, shifts to the high-temperature region and then, shrunk to the point on the coordinate plane of flame temperature and strain rate. The present numerical results show that radiative heat loss can reduce the operating range of a combustor significantly.

  • The present work aims to fabricate Na1+xZr2SixP3-xO12 compound at various calcination temperatures based on the zircon mineral. The fabricated compound was calcinated at 250, 500, and 1000℃. The effect of calcination temperature on the structure, crystal phase, and radiation shielding properties was studied for the fabricated compound. The X-ray diffraction diffractometer demonstrates that, the monoclinic crystal phase appeared at a calcination temperature of 250℃ and 500℃ is totally transformed to a high-symmetry hexagonal crystal phase under a calcination temperature of 1000℃. The radiation shielding capacity was also qualified for the fabricated compounds using the Monte Carlo N-Particle transport code in the g-photons energy interval between 15keV and 122keV. The impacts of calcination temperature on the g-ray shielding behavior were clarified in the present study, where the linear attenuation coefficient was enhanced by 218% at energy of 122keV, when the calcination temperature increased from 250 to 1000℃, respectively.

  • 사용후핵연료 운반용기 표면온도가 $85^{\circ}C$를 초과할 경우, 대인용 보호막(Personnel Barrier) 또는 운반용 덮개(Transport Hood)를 설치하여 운반 중 운반용기 표면에 사람이 직접 접근할 수 없도록 하여야 한다. 운반용 덮개가 설치된 경우, 열적 안전성 평가의 한 가지 경우인 정상조건 열해석 시, 외부환경 경계조건(환경온도 및 외부복사온도)으로 적용하기 위해서 운반용 덮개 내부 열 환경 조건(내부 공기온도 및 운반용 덮개 표면온도)을 계산해야 한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 운반용 덮개 내부 공기온도 및 표면온도를 계산하기 위한 해석적 방법 및 열전달 특성에 대한 분석을 수행하였고 CFD 해석 결과와 비교를 통해 타당성을 검증하였다.

  • The characteristics of flame propagation in inert particle-laden $H_2$/Air premixed gas are numerically investigated on this study. The 2nd order TVD scheme is applied to numerical analysis of governing equations and multi-step chemical reaction model and detailed transport properties are sued to solve chemical reaction terms. Radiation heat transfer is computed by applying the finite volume method to a radiative transfer equation. The burning velocities against the mole fractions of hydrogen agree well with results performed by different workers. The inert particles play significant roles in the flame propagation on account of momentum and heat transfer between gas and particles. Gas temperature, pressure and flame propagation speed are decreased as the loading ratio of particle is increased. Also the products behind flame zone contain lots of water vapor whose absorption coefficient is much larger than that of unburned gas. Thus, the radiation effect of gas and particles must be considered simultaneously for the flame propagation in a mixture of $H_2$/Air and inert particles. As a result, it is founded that because the water vapor emits much radiation and this emitted radiation is released at boundaries as radiant heat loss as well as reabsorbed by gas and particles, flame propagation speed and flame structure are altered with radiation effect.

  • 본 논문에서는 마이크로스트립 패치 안테나의 방사개구면에 역 L형 기생소자를 수직으로 세운 이중대역 마이크로스트립 안테나를 설계 및 제작하였다. 제안된 안테나는 GPS $L_1(1.575 GHz)$$L_2(1.227 GHz)$ 대역을 수용하도록 설계하였다. 먼저, GPS $L_1$ 대역은 반파장 마이크로스트립 패치 안테나를 이용하여 수용하였고, 섭동법을 이용하기 위해 방사개구면에 수직으로 세워 역 L형 기생소자를 패치안테나와 커플링시켜 공진시킴으로써 GPS $L_2$ 대역을 수용하였다. 다음으로 두 대역에서 모두 원형편파를 발생시키기 위해서 급전점 반대편 방사개구면에 각각의 편파에 해당하는 방사개구면에 역 L형 기생소자를 각각 세웠고, 패치 안테나의 급전점을 대각선으로 옮겨 이중대역 원형편파 마이크로스트립 안테나를 설계하였다. 이렇게 설계된 원형편파 안테나의 크기는 $88.5{\times}79{\times}10.4mm^3$ ($0.36{\lambda}_L{\times}0.32{\lambda}_L{\times}0.04{\lambda}_L$, ${\lambda}_L$은 1.227 GHz의 공기 중 파장)의 크기를 가지며, 단층으로 저자세를 유지한다. -10 dB 대역폭은 GPS $L_1$대역에서 116.3 MHz(7.4%), GPS $L_2$대역 64.3 MHz(5.2%)로 측정되어 GPS $L_1$$L_2$ 대역의 요구대역폭(각각 24 MHz)을 만족하였다. 3 dB 축비 대역폭은 11.7 MHz(0.74%)와 14 MHz(1.14%)로 각각 측정되었으며, 방사패턴은 두 대역에서 모두 브로드 사이드 방사패턴을 형성하였다.
