이 연구는 케이블TV SO의 지역채널 운영 현황과 이와 관련된 재허가 심사제도를 분석하는 데 연구목적이 있다. 다른 유료방송 플랫폼과 달리 SO에게만 부여하고 있는 지역채널 편성 의무는 케이블TV로 하여금 상당한 공익성을 담보하도록 요구하고 있지만, 방송시장의 경쟁이 가속화되는 환경 속에서는 이를 지속적으로 유지 발전시키기가 쉽지 않은 구조이다. 방송평가나 재허가제도가 지역채널의 존치를 담보하는 기제로 작용하고 있긴 하지만 실질적인 역할을 하는 데는 한계가 없지 않다. 이러한 문제의식 하에 세 가지의 연구문제를 설정하였으며, 문헌분석, 2차 자료 분석, 전문가 심층인터뷰 등의 방법론을 사용하였다. 연구결과, 지역채널은 SO마다 거의 종일편성이 이루어지고 있지만 순환편성의 비율이 점차 증가하고 있고, 제작비용은 감소하는 추세여서 질적인 측면에서는 퇴행적 조짐을 보이고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 재허가 심사의 방송평가 점수에서 지역채널 운영실적은 그다지 긍정적이지 않았다. 이러한 결과는 지금까지의 지역채널에 대한 정책기조에 변화를 가져올 필요가 있음을 의미한다고 할 수 있으며, 그에 따른 몇가지 정책대안을 제시하였다.

The renewed global interest in nuclear power has arisen from the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to provide sufficient electricity for a growing global population before the accident at Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant in Japan. In spite of the safety issues of nuclear power plants raised by the ongoing Japanese nuclear crisis, many countries with nuclear power plants (NPPs) are still implementing license extensions of 10~20 years, and even consideration is being given to the concept of life-beyond-60, a further period of license extension from 60 to 80 years. To solving the materials aging problem is integral to its success. To evaluate the plant aging phenomena, a lot of background information such as materials and environment of the parts of the reactor and plant systems is needed by the experts. Information on degradation mechanisms is also used. In this paper, a materials degradation evaluation program called OnMDE-SYS (On-line Materials Degradation Evaluation System) is introduced. The developed program provides a variety of information on the materials and stressors as well as operational experience to the experts. It is also anticipated that the experts can perform materials degradation assessment on the web directly by referring to domestic and international information about the degradation of a nuclear power plants through OnMDE-SYS.

The renewed global interest in nuclear power has arisen from the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to provide sufficient electricity for a growing global population. Many countries with nuclear power plants (NPPs) are still implementing license extensions of 10~20 years, and even consideration is being given to the concept of life-beyond-60, a further period of license extension from 60 to 80 years. To solve the materials aging problem is integral to its success. A foundation for effective aging management of nuclear power plants is that aging is properly taken into account at each stage of a plant's lifetime, i.e. in design, manufacture, construction and operation including long term operation and decommissioning. To evaluate the plant aging phenomena, a lot of background information such as materials and environment of the parts of the reactor and plant systems is needed by the experts. Information on degradation mechanisms is also used. In this paper, a regulation on the integrated materials aging management for nuclear facilities is proposed. The proposed regulation identifies key elements of effective aging management for nuclear power plants and provides the requirements on aging management for nuclear facilities throughout all stages of the lifetime of the plant.

Licenses for the storage of spent nuclear fuel (SNF) and vitrified highly active waste in casks under dry conditions are limited to 40 years and have to be renewed for prolonged storage periods. If such a license renewal has to be expected since as in accordance with the new site selection procedure a final repository for spent fuel in Germany will not be available before the year 2050. For transport and possible unloading and loading in new casks for final storage, the integrity and the maintenance of the geometry of the cask's inventory is essential because the SNF rod cladding and the cladding of the vitrified highly active waste are stipulated as a barrier in the storage concept. For SNF, the cladding integrity is ensured currently by limiting the hoop stress and hoop strain as well as the maximum temperature to certain values for a 40-year storage period. For a prolonged storage period, other cladding degradation mechanisms such as inner and outer oxide layer formation, hydrogen pick up, irradiation damages in cladding material crystal structure, helium production from alpha decay, and long-term fission gas release may become leading effects driving degradation mechanisms that have to be discussed.
