The main steam line break accident is an essential initiating event of the pressurized water reactor. In present work, the fuzzy set theory and the signal-based fault detection method has been used to detect the occurrence and diagnosis of the location and break area for the small scale MSLB. The models are validated by the AP1000 accident simulator based on MAAP5. From the test results it can be seen that the proposed approach has a rapid and proper response on accident detection and location diagnosis. The method proposed to evaluate the break area shows good performances for small scale MSLB with the relative deviation within ±3%.

Steam and advection fogs are frequently observed in the Yellow Sea from March to July except for May. This study uses remote sensing (RS) data for the monitoring of sea fog. Meteorological data obtained from the Ieodo Ocean Research Station provided a valuable information for the occurrence of steam and advection fogs as a ground truth. The RS data used in this study were GOES-9, MTSAT-1R images and QuikSCAT wind data. A dual channel difference (DCD) approach using IR and shortwave IR channel of GOES-9 and MTSAT-1R satellites was applied to detect sea fog. The results showed that DCD, texture-related measurement and the weak wind condition are required to separate the sea fog from the low cloud. The QuikSCAT wind data was used to provide the wind speed criteria for a fog event. The laplacian computation was designed for a measurement of the homogeneity. A new combined method, which includes DCD, QuikSCAT wind speed and laplacian computation, was applied to the twelve cases with GOES-9 and MTSAT-1R. The threshold values for DCD, QuikSCAT wind speed and laplacian are -2.0 K, $8m\;s^{-1}$ and 0.1, respectively. The validation results showed that the new combined method slightly improves the detection of sea fog compared to DCD method: improvements of the new combined method are $5{\sim}6%$ increases in the Heidke skill score, 10% decreases in the probability of false detection, and $30{\sim}40%$ increases in the odd ratio.

원자력 발전소는 안정성 및 신뢰성 확보가 가장 중요하므로 고장의 감지 및 진단 시스템의 개발은 원전 자체가 구축하고 있: 다중의 하드웨어 중첩도(hardware redundancy)에도 불구하고 가장 중요한 문제로 취급되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 원저 PWR 증기발생기에서 발생한 고장을 진단하기 위한 알고리듬의 개발을 위해 시스템에서 발생한 고장을 감지하고 분류할 수 있는 ART2 시경회로망 기반 고장진단방법을 제안한다. 고장진단시스템은 발생한 고장을 감지하기 위한 고장감지부, 변화된 시스템파라미터를 추정하기 위한 파라미터 추정부 및 발생한 고장의 종류를 알아내기 위한 고장분류부로 구성된다. 고장분류부는 여러 경계인수를 갖는 ART2(adaptive resonance theory 2) 신경회로망을 이용한 고장분류기로 구성된다. 제안한 고장진단 알고리듬을 증기발생기의 고장진단문제에 적용하여 성능을 확인하였다.

현재 사용중인 화염 검출기들은 화염 검출에 있어서의 특정 문제점들을 종종 나타내고 있다. 이러한 문제점들을 해결하기 위하여 본 논문에서는 캠코더로 획득한 이미지를 적절하게 전치리한 후 신경망의 입력으로 사용하여 화염을 검출하였다. 이미지를 이용한 화염검출의 경우 보일러 외부에서 데이터를 획득하기 때문에 내부열에 대한 영향들을 줄일 수 있는 방법으로 현재 적용 중인 센서에 기반한 화염검출 방법과는 구별된다. 그리고 패턴 분류를 위하여 사용한 신경망 모델은 다른 버너의 화염에 의한 유사정보틀을 잘 분류하기 때문에 화염검출기의 부정확한 동작을 줄일 수 있다. 신경망은 각 조건에 대한 특징을 학습하고 학습된 정보를 바탕으로 효율적인 화염검출을 수행한다.

An effective approach to detect and diagnose multiple failures in a dynamic system is proposed for the case where the measurement noise is correlated sequentially in time. It is based on the modified interacting multiple-model (MIMM) estimation algorithm in which a generalized decorrelation process is developed by employing the autoregressive (AR) model for the correlated measurement noise. Numerical example for the nuclear steam generator is provided to illustrate the enhanced performance of the proposed algorithm.

Systems with journal bearings generally operate in large scale and under severe loading conditions such as steam generator turbines and internal combustion engines, in contrast to the machineries using rolling element bearings. Failure of the bearings in these machineries can result in the system breakdown. To avoid the time consuming repair and considerable economic loss, the detection of incipient failure in journal bearings becomes very important. In this experimental approach, acoustic emission monitoring is employed to the detection of incipient failure caused by intervention of foreign particles most probable in the journal bearing systems. It has been known that the intervention of foreign materials, insufficient lubrication and misassembly etc. are principal factors to cause bearing failure and distress. The experiment was conducted under such designed conditions as inserting alumina particles to the lubrication layer in the simulated journal bearing system. The results showed that acoustic emission could be an effective tool to detect the incipient failure in journal bearings.

In a power plant, an oil and steam leakage is generated once in a while. This is because the operating temperature and pressure of oil are very high. It is very difficult to monitor oil leakage, because oil leakage is almost invisible. Therefore a method to oil leakage detecting quickly and accurately is needs. In this paper, we proposed the method for the detecting oil leakage by using image processing and CCTV. To test the performance of this technique, experiments have been performed for simple case. Results show that the proposed technique is quite powerful in the oil leak detection.

Citronella oil, an essential oil extracted through steam distillation from the leaves and stems of Cymbopogon, is a natural complex substance (NCS) regulated by the Korean government for its use in insect repellents. The component ratios of NCSs like citronella oil vary due to differences in manufacturing processes and origins, presenting a challenge in identifying and quantifying these substances in consumer chemical products. This study analysed ten commercially available products of the most commonly used types of citronella oil, specifically Java and Ceylon types, using gas chromatography (GC)-mass spectrometry (MS) and GC with flame ionization detection (FID). Through chromatographic data, we aimed to determine the components that can qualitatively identify citronella oil and the indicator ingredients that can be used for content analysis.

Since the sodium-cooled fast reactor is operated in a hostile environment due to the use of liquid sodium as its coolant, advanced techniques for in-service inspection are required to periodically verify the integrity of the reactor. This paper presents the development of in-service inspection techniques for Proto-type Generation IV Sodium-cooled Fast Reactor. First, the 10 m long plate-type ultrasonic waveguide sensor has been developed for in-service inspection of reactor internals, and its feasibility was verified through several under-water and under-sodium experiments. Second, the combined inspection system for in-service inspection of ferromagnetic steam generator tubes has been developed. The remote field eddy current testing and magnetic flux leakage testing can be conducted simultaneously by using the developed inspection system, and the detectability was demonstrated through several damage detection experiments. Finally, the electro-magnetic acoustic transducer which can withstand high temperature and be installable in the remote operated vehicle has been developed for in-service inspection of the reactor vessel, and its detectability was investigated through damage detection experiments.
