The HANARO reactor has a vertical hole for a cold neutron source (CNS) in the heavy-water reflector tank, i.e., the CNS hole, which was considerably deformed during its welding to the horizontal cold neutron (CN) beam tube. This paper presents an investigation of the form of the CNS hole for the optimal design of the a vacuum chamber for the CNS. In addition, the installation method of the vacuum chamber into the CNS hole for minimizing the water thickness between the vacuum chamber and the nose of the CN beam tube is proposed.

A time-domain numerical model is developed to examine the performance of a wave energy focusing structure in combined waves and a current. With the current assumed to be slow and the structure fully submerged, the wave-current interaction problem is reduced to a wave scattering problem in a uniform current. The diffraction of incident waves around a narrow berm is considered. The shape of the berm is defined by a parabola, imitating that of an optical reflector. The energy focus is achieved by reflecting the incident waves through a predetermined focal point. Through the numerical simulations, the numerical model is shown to be effective in modeling the wave-current interaction problem, and the current speed and direction are shown to affect significantly the location, amplitude and sharpness of the focus.

헬릭스 안테나는 관제, 관측, 탐사, 통신 위성 등에서 관제(TT&C), 데이터 통신, GPS 수신 시스템, 전술 시스템으로 활용되고 있다 위성의 Z축에서 최대 지향성과 방사 특성을 갖는 헬릭스는 광대역의 임피던스와 통신 커버리지 대역을 제공할 수 있다. 도파관 혼 구조는 흔히 레이다 분야에 이용되는데, 지반 탐사 레이다 및 전자파 장애 측정 등 초 광대역 펄스를 필요로 하는 곳에 사용된다. 또한 크기가 비교적 작고, 적은 방사 왜곡으로 인한 고효율과 낮은 반사 특성을 갖는 장점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 고용량의 데이터를 전송하여 넓은 주파수 대역폭을 사용하는 통신 및 원격 탐사 위성에 적합한 도파관 혼-헬릭스 결합 안테나를 설계한다. 설계된 변형 구조 안테나는 S 밴드에서 가변 빔 스캐닝 모드를 갖는 혼-헬릭스 결합 헬리콘 구조로 관제, 탐사, 고속 데이터 통신용 등의 다기능 안테나로 동작한다. 도파관 혼은 테이퍼된 헬릭스를 감싸는 접이식 반사체로 설계하여 구조물의 소형화를 유도한다. 현재 개발 중인 차세대 다목적 실용위성에서는 고성능의 탑재체를 활용하기 때문에 정밀하고 안정된 위성 자세 제어 능력을 요구하고, 위성 안테나의 지향성 요구 조건이 강화된다. 이를 위해 설계된 안테나의 위성 초기 배치에 따른 링크 분석을 통해 위성체의 자세 및 운용 모드에 따라 다른 결과를 갖는 빔 스캐닝을 산출하고 각 모드에서의 자료 전송률에 대해 연구한다.

동중국해 북부 대륙붕에 발달한 후기 홀로세 니질 퇴적체의 분포양상과 층서의 발달 특성을 밝히기 위해 고해상도 Chirp 탄성파 단면 자료를 이용하여 분석하였다. 고해상 탄성파 단면도상에서 음향기반암(기저 경계면 B)위에 2개의 퇴적층서(Unit 1과 2)가 나타나며 이들은 침식 경계면(중간 반사면 M)으로 경계된다. 하위 퇴적층서 Unit 1은 음향학적으로 평행 또는 준평행 반사층리와 수로 충진 퇴적상이 나타난다. 상위 퇴적층서 Unit 2는 반투명 내부 퇴적상과 7m 이하 퇴적두께의 렌즈형태로 발달해 있다. 시퀀스 층서분석으로부터 이들 퇴적층서는 마지막 저해수준 이후 형성되었다. 해침 퇴적체(Unit 1)는 최후 빙기동안 형성된 층서 경계면위에 바로 분포한다. 해침 퇴적체는 침식곡의 염하구 환경하에서 하천, 델타, 그리고 조간대 환경의 복합 퇴적물로 구성된다. 해침 퇴적체 바로 위는 침식 저지형의 최대 범람면이 나타난다. 최대 범람면위에 발달한 고해수준 퇴적체(Unit 2)은 저지대를 충진하는 니질 퇴적체로 구성된다. 니질 퇴적체는 제주도 남쪽 약 140km 떨어진 곳에 마치 태풍 같은 모양의 원형 형태로 수심 약 60-90m 사이에 집중적으로 발달해 있다. 이 퇴적체의 분포 면적과 부피는 각각 약 $3,200km^2$와 약 $10.7\times1109m^3$이다. 니질 퇴적체의 기원은 고황하와 양자강에서 배출된 부유퇴적물의 혼합기원으로 해석된다. 원형의 분포형태는 북부 동중국해에 발달한 반시계 방향의 와류 순환계로 인해 형성된 것으로 판단된다.

Laser distance measuring systems are used in many fields with high precision. However, when measuring the reflector such as the mirror and the black color, a laser distance measuring system does not guarantee the measurement accuracy. In order to measure the shape of the cargo, this study proposes the radar distance measurement system. The radar distance measuring system is composed of a distance measuring unit with a 24 GHz antenna module, a signal processing and control board and the 1-axis tilting unit. And, this study developed a monitoring program to monitor the measured data. In order to evaluate performance of the developed system, the distance measurement tests are carried out. The distance error was about 6-15 cm. However, considering the size of the cargo, the precision is not a problem. And, cargo shape was measured by using the distance information measured by the 1-axis tilting unit. It could get a 2 dimension shape profile for the cargo stacked in a yard.

The investigation of the utilization of enriched ²⁰⁸Pb as a coolant to enhance the performance of a long-life fast reactor with a Modified CANDLE (Constant Axial shape of Neutron flux, nuclide densities, and power shape During Life of Energy production) burnup scheme has performed. The analyzes were performed on a reactor with thermal power of 800 MegaWatt Thermal (MWTh) with a refueling process every 15 years. Uranium Nitride (enriched ¹⁵N), ²⁰⁸Pb, and High-Cr martensitic steel HT-9 were employed as fuel, coolant, and cladding materials, respectively. One of the Pb-nat isotopes, ²⁰⁸Pb, has the smallest neutron capture cross-section (0.23 mb) among other liquid metal coolants. Furthermore, the neutron-producing cross-section (n, 2n) of ²⁰⁸Pb is larger than sodium (Na). On the other hand, the inelastic scattering energy threshold of ²⁰⁸Pb is the highest among Na, ^natPb, and Bi. The small inelastic scattering cross-section of ²⁰⁸Pb can harden the neutron energy spectrum. Therefore, ²⁰⁸Pb is a better neutron multiplier than any other liquid metal coolant. The excess neutrons cause more production than consumption of ²³⁹Pu. Hence, it can reduce the initial fuel loading of the reactor. The selective photoreaction process was developing to obtain enriched ²⁰⁸Pb. The neutronic was calculated using SRAC and JENDL 4.0 as a nuclear data library. We obtained that the modified CANDLE reactor with enriched ²⁰⁸Pb as coolant and reflector has the highest k-eff among all reactors. Meanwhile, the ^natPb cooled reactor has the lowest k-eff. Thus, the utilization of the enriched ²⁰⁸Pb as the coolant can reduce reactor initial fuel loading. Moreover, the enriched ²⁰⁸Pb-cooled reactor has the smallest power peaking factor among all reactors. Therefore, the enriched ²⁰⁸Pb can enhance the performance of a long-life Modified CANDLE fast reactor.

The HANARO ( High-flux Advanced Neutron Application Reactor) has been operated since 1995. The Cold Neutron (CN) hole was implanted in the reflector tank from the design stage. Before a vacuum chamber and a moderator cell for the cold neutron source are installed into the CN hole, it is necessary to measure exactly the size of the inside diameter and thickness of the CN hole to prevent the interference problem. Due to inaccessibility and high radiation field in the CN hole, a mechanical measurement method is not permitted. The immersed ultrasonic technique is considered as the best way to measure the thickness and the diameter of the CN hole. The 4-Axis manipulator was designed and fabricated for locating the ultrasonic sensors. The transducer of an ultrasonic sensor having 10 MHz frequency leads to high resolution as much as 0.03mm. The inside diameter and thickness of 550 points of the CN hole were measured using 2 channel ultrasonic sensors. The results show that the thickness and inside diameter of the CN hole is in the range of 3.3∼6.7mm and 156∼ 165mm, respectively. This data will be a good reference for the design of the cold neutron source facility.
