In the event of a marine pollution accident, Korea, which is bordered by the sea on three sides, would suffer tremendous damage. According to an analysis of marine pollution accidents in Korea, most pollutants were small fishing boats and tugboats. In particular, urgent safety measures are required due to the high incidence of marine pollution accidents caused by stranded tugboats. This study aims to decrease secondary marine pollution accidents by preparing measures to prevent accidents by stranded tugboats, the main source of pollution accidents. To this end an experiment was conducted to mark 63 locations where stranded accidents have occurred on the GPS plotters of 61 tugboats operating in Boryeong sea area. Its effectiveness was then investigated. The result showed that there was no stranded accident by the subject ship during the 20-month experiment period. As a result of survey of the captains, 36 out of 40 respondents (90%) stated that the experiment was significantly helpful in ensuring safe navigation, thus confirming its effectiveness. Various measures were proposed to prevent stranded accidents, including providing information to manufacturers and users by marking the location of grounded accidents on GPS plotters and posting the location information of unknown reefs on the official website of institution Korea Hydrographic and Oceanographic Agency.

This study aims to prevent secondary traffic accidents with high severity by overcoming the limitations of existing traffic information collection systems through analysis of traffic information collection detectors and various algorithms used to detect unexpected situations. In other words, this study is meaningful present that analyzing the 'unexpected situation that causes secondary traffic accidents' and 'Existing traffic information collection system' accordingly presenting a solution that can preemptively prevent secondary traffic accidents, intelligent traffic information collection system that enables accurate information collection on all sections of the road. As a result of the experiment, the reliability of data transmission reached 97% based on 95%, the data transmission speed averaged 209ms based on 1000ms, and the network failover time achieved targets of 50sec based on 120sec.

Myocardial infarction (MI) secondary to coronary artery fistula and the subsequent occlusion of the distal right coronary artery (RCA) after blunt chest trauma is a rare entity. Here, we describe a case of coronary artery fistula and occlusion with an inferior MI that occurred following blunt chest trauma. At the initial visit to the emergency room after a car accident, this patient had been undiagnosed with acute myocardial infarction, readmitted five months after ischemic insult, and revealed to have experienced MI due to RCA-right atrial fistula and occlusion of the distal RCA. He underwent coronary surgery and recovered without complications.

Traumatic blunt aortic injury especially on proximal ascending aorta is a rare injury with a few reports. Generally emergency surgical management was performed. In this case, however, in multiple trauma with brain injury, emergency surgical management of aortic injury might result in unexpected secondary injury of the brain. Herein, we report a case of a 33-year-old man who was driving a truck was injured in a head-on collision. Evaluation revealed a pseudoaneurysm on his ascending aorta concomitant with epidural hemorrhage. He was treated by surgical management of his ascending aorta after 3 days from accident. There were no postoperative and neurologic complications and the patient was discharged after 18 days.

The Level 1 probabilistic safety assessment(PSA) for Wolsong(WS) 2/3/4 nuclear power plant(NPPs) in design stage is performed using the methodologies being equivalent to PWR PSA. Accident sequence evaluation program(ASEP) human reliability analysis(HRA) procedure and technique for human error rate prediction(THERP) are used in HRA of WS 2/3/4 NPPs PSA. The purpose of this paper is to introduce the procedure and methodology of HRA in WS 2/3/4 NPPs PSA. Also, this paper describes the interim results of importance analysis for human actions modeled in WS 2/3/4 PSA and the findings and recommendations of administrative control of secondary control area from the view of human factors.

This paper deal with the study of the phenomenon of Ferroresonance in the 170kV Gas Insulated Switchgear(GIS). The Electromagnetic Transient Program(EMTP) was used to simulate the phenomenon of Ferroresonance and conducted the study of the transient over-voltage. An example power system, used in this study, have an accident that the ferroresonance phenomenon happens at MOFVT(Voltage Transformer). The simulation results notices that the secondary part of VT has to be connected by ferroresonance suppressor when the circuit breaker connected with grading capacitor is switched off.

A 27-year-old male presented with an anterior myocardial infarction following blunt chest trauma sustained in motorcycle accident. On examination, there was no visible wound on the chest wall. Echocardiogram showed dyskinesia over anterior left ventricular wall. Subsequent coronary angiogram demonstrated dissection at the proximal portion of the left anterior descending coronary artery and left ventriculogram showed apical anerysm and thrombus. He was treated by coronary artery bypass graft.

We report our experience of treating two patients with ankle amputation with different presentations. The first case was a clean-cut sharp amputation. The second case was an avulsion injury following a motor vehicle accident in a patient who arrived 8 hours after the injury. Replantation was successful in both cases. In avulsion injuries, a secondary operation for wound coverage is required at a later stage. With good strategy and a support team, encouraging limb survival outcomes are possible post-replantation.

To determine the optimum pressurizer water level during normal operation for Kori unit 1, performance and safety analysis are peformed. The methodology is developed by evaluating "decrease in secondary heat removal" events such as Loss of Normal Feedwater accident. To demonstrate optimum pressurizer level setpoint, RETRAN-03 code is used for performance analysis. Analysis results of RETRAN following reactor trip are compared with the actual plant data to justify RETRAN code modelling, The results of performance and safety analyses show that the newly established level setpoints not only improve the performance of pressurizer during transient including reactor trip but also meet the design bases of the pressurizer volume and pressure. pressure.

The bushing currently applied to pole-mounted type loadbreak switch has porcelain bushing which is connected with the mold cone. This type has potential problems of uncertainty of sealing of the interface part and gas leakage on the connected part between bushing and switch tank due to the weight of the porcelain. The Composite Bushing can solve these problems and also the secondary problem of the potential accident owing to the fragment of the porcelain bushing in breakage due to the outer impact.
