  • Aquifer Thermal Energy Storage (ATES) system can be very cost-effective and renewable energy sources, depending on site-specific parameters and load characteristics. In order to develop an ATES system which has certain hydrogeological characteristics, understanding of the thermo hydraulic processes of an aquifer is necessary for a proper design of an aquifer heat storage system under given conditions. The thermo hydraulic transfer for heat storage is simulated using FEFLOW according to two sets of pumping and waste water reinjection scenarios of heat pump operation in a two layered confined aquifer. In the first set of model, the movement of the thermal front and groundwater level are simulated by changing the locations of injection and pumping well in seasonal cycle. However, in the second set of model the simulation is performed in the state of fixing the locations of pumping and injection well. After 365 days simulation period, the temperature distribution is dominated by injected water temperature and the distance from injection well. The small temperature change is appears on the surface compared to other slices of depth because the first layer has very low porosity and the transfer of thermal energy are sensitive at the porosity of each layer. The groundwater levels and temperature changes in injection and pumping wells are monitored to validate the effectiveness of the used heat pump operation method and the thermal interference between wells is analyzed.

  • 사용후핵연료를 포함하는 고준위 방사성폐기물을 지질학적 조건이 안정적인 지하 3~5 km의 심도에 처분할 수 있다면 다음과 같은 많은 장점이 있는 것으로 평가되고 있다. 즉, (1)암반 수리전도도가 매우 낮아 지하수가 생태계까지 도달하는데 속도가 현저히 감소되며, (2)상부층 두께로 인하여 생태계와의 이격거리 확보에 유리하고, (3)지하수가 환원상태이므로 핵종의 용해도가 매우 낮을 뿐만 아니라 (4)오랜 연령의 지하수에서는 핵종이 흡착된 콜로이드 생성과 이동이 극히 제한된다는 점이다. 이와 관련하여 심부시추공 처분(Deep Borehole Disposal) 연구는 심층 처분(Deep Geological Disposal) 시스템에 대한 이상적인 처분 대안기술로서 꾸준하게 진행되어 왔다. 본 논문에서는 최근 심부 시추기술이 비약적으로 발전됨에 따라 의미있게 연구가 진행되고 있는 심부시추공 처분시스템을 국내 적용하기 위한 초기 단계로서 해외의 심부시추공 처분시스템 기술개발 사례를 분석하였다. 이를 통하여 심부시추공 처분에 대한 일반적인 개념과 심부시추공 처분시스템 개념을 도출한 연구사례를 국가별로 정리하였다. 이들 분석결과는 향후 심부시추공 처분기술의 국내 적용을 위한 입력자료로서 유용하게 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

  • 포항 옥명 폐기물 매립장과 매립장 입구 전방지역에서 1997년 8월과 1998년 1월에 걸쳐 슐럼버져 전기비저항 수직탐사, 쌍극자 비저항탐사 및 전자기 유도방식을 이용한 전기전도도 수평탐사를 실시하였다. 전기비저항 수직탐사는 매립장 내부와 매립장 입구 전방지역에서 11점과 4점이 실시되었으며, 쌍극자 비저항탐사도 각각 1측선씩 실시되었다. 또한 전기전도도 수평탐사는 총 164점이 4개의 측선을 따라 매립장 입구 전방지역에서 수행되었다. 자료의 해석결과 제 6매립장에서는 0.3∼3 Ωm의 저비저항대가 지표하 65 m까지 나타나고 있어 하부지층의 침출수에 의한 오염가능성을 시사하고 있으며, 예상 침출수위는 지표하 3∼6 m로 추정되었다. 제 9매립장은 2 Ωm이하의 저비저항대가 지표하 11∼15 m까지 나타나고 있어 하부지층의 오염가능성은 없는 것으로 판단된다. 한편 매립장 입구 전방지역에서는 비저항 탐사자료나 전기전도도 수평탐사 자료 모두 천부의 비저항값이 낮게 나타나 이 지역에서는 풍화대의 오염가능성이 매우 큰 것으로 생각된다. 또한 같은 지역내에서도 제 6매립장이 가까이 위치하는 남쪽지역이 침출수의 영향을 더욱 많이 받는 것으로 나타났다.

  • Like other livestock, monogastric animals are essential components of the farming systems in the tropical countries. Pigs, chicken and ducks are by far the most important animals in the culture of the peoples of developing countries in the tropics. Traditionally these animals are raised in small farms and they are also the bulk producers of meat, eggs etc. in the tropics. In many countries the farmers of these small farms are unable to meet the requirement set by financial institution and other loan giving agencies for agricultural loan. Thus, the small farmers can get neither the opportunity to generate sufficient income to support the family nor to extend the livestock activities. The production systems are characterized by small number of animals with no or minimal inputs, low outputs and periodic destruction of animals by disease. Typically the litter size or flocks are small in number with each household containing 5-6 pigs and 7-10 poultry. Animals are owned by individual households and mostly maintained under a scavenging systems with little or no inputs for housing, feeding or health care. Because of the nature of this production system, productivity of these animals is rather low. The low level of inputs is due to a lack of capital and a low risk oriented outlook. The feed resource base for monogastric is scavenging and consists of household waste, roots and tuber, grain by-products and anything edible found in the immediate environment. Usually farmers select breeding gilts from their own female piglets or to a lesser extent, buy them from neighbors for natural mating. As regards poultry attempts have been made to increase egg and meat production by improving local poultry birds by upgrading and crossbreeding with exotic germ plasma in the tropics. Animal disease present a major constraint to animal production in the tropical region and the extent of the losses due to disease is very high.

  • 자동차 폐범퍼를 재활용하기 위해서는 도장된 페인트를 효율적으로 제거하는 기술이 매우 중요하다. 현재까지 개발된 방법들은 환경오염을 유발할 수 있는 화학적 방법이 물리적 방법에 비해 도장 제거율이 높다고 알려져 있다. 이 연구에서는 물리적 제거법의 낮은 도막 제거율을 높이기 위하여 화학적 제거법과 물리적 제거법을 혼합하여 용매의 사용량을 줄이고 도막의 제거율을 높이는 방법을 시도하였다. 용매를 침지하는 과정에서 기계적인 교반이 도장 제거율을 높임을 확인하였고, 중간 매체로 고체입자를 혼합하였을 때 매우 높은 도장 제거율을 보임을 관찰하였다. 이로서 적절한 방법으로 화학적인 방법과 물리적인 방법을 혼합하면 용매의 양을 줄이면서 도장 제거율을 높일 수 있음을 확인하였다.

  • Aiming at one of decisive alternatives for long term aspect of nuclear power concerns, an integral and closed nuclear system, AMBIDEXTER (Advanced Molten-salt Break-even Inherently-safe Dual-mission Experimental and TEst Reactor) concept is under development. The AMBIDEXTER complex essentially comprises two mutually independent loops of the radiation/material transport and the heat/energy conversion, centered at the integrated reactor assembly, which enables one to utilize maximum benefits of nuclear energy under minimum risks of nuclear radiation. And it provides precious radioisotopes and radiation sources from its waste stream. Also the reactor operates at very low level of fission products inventory throughout its lifetime. The nuclear and thermalhydraulic characteristics of the molten TH/$^{233}$ U fuel salt extend the capability of the self-sustaining AMBIDEXTER fuel cycle to enhance resource security and safeguard transparency. The reactor system is consisted of a single component module of the core, heat exchangers and recirculation pumps with neither pipe connections nor active valves in between, which will significantly improve inherent features of nuclear safety. States of the core technologies associated with designing and developing the AMBIDEXTER concept are mostly available in commercialized form and thus demonstration of integral aspects of the concept should be the prime area in future R&D programs.

  • Alternative subirrigation way, capillary wick system (CWS) was tested to reduce labor cost, waste water, contamination of ground water, and use of fungicide compared to overhead irrigation system (OIS). CWS helped reduce remarkably the working hours for watering from 4 hours in OSI to just 5 minutes. Labor cost was saved 98% in CWS compared to OIS. By the physical characteristics of various growing media, 1 coconut coir+2 perlite (v/v) mixture was selected because it had an ideal distribution of three phase, e.g. 1 solid: 1 liquid: 2 gas phase. Medium mixture containing scoria had so high bulk and particle density to hurt root. In bark-containing medium, the liquid phase and the percent saturation of liquid phase with time elapsed was lower than that of other mixture. It meant that the mixture contained very low level of water. Application of CWS for cyclamen pot production played an important role in reducing the incident of fusarium wilt symptom from 18% in conventional over watering system to 4%. Cyclamen pot irrigated by capillary wick had shorter petiole and more leaves than those by overhead watering. As a result, this system was highly beneficial to get uniform pot products with high quality. It improved water and nutrient solution efficiency relative to conventional overhead irrigation system (OIS).

  • Recycling is receiving increasing social attention today as our nation begins to grapple with the significant problems caused by huge amount of municipal solid waste. The topic of recycling is not simple but extremely complicated. This study attempts to provide basic data and policy options for expanding and improving separated collection and recycling in public residential areas, through three case study of apartment housing areas in Taegu Metropolitan City. The main results of this study are summarized as follows. For the significant period of time, all three case areas had in common the extreme difficulty in establishing and operating the system of connecting public participation, collection and storage, transportation, and actual recycling of materials because of a variety of problems involved in this process. Both amounts of and prices for collected materials fluctuated considerably over time mainly due to monthly changes in recyclable home materials and the dynamic nature of recycling markets. Public questionnaire survey revealed the very high level of participation in separated collection, not only because almost all respondents well understood the necessity and importance of recycling, but because they also knew how to do separated collection. But overall activities were rated low and most respondents suggested the enlargement of public participation, the improvement of collection and storage facilities, and collection transportation networks. In particular, most respondents had little experience of using recycled Products and used mainly reproduced soap and bathroom tissue. Furthermore, they were considerably unsatisfied with low variety and quality of recycled products, their high prices and low availability in the market. Finally potential policy options and activities for improving separated collection and recycling are suggested.

  • The community health nursing process is essential in providing community health nursing service to the community. It helps to identify community health problems. to prioritize problems, to provide service. and to evaluate service results. However. it is very rare to find a study which applies the community health nursing process. This study intended to apply the community health nursing process to a urban community. The focus of the study was a community consisting of 533 families in a region of Seoul. The study process was as follows: 1) The data was collected by conducting interviews with community leaders and by collecting surveys from the people of the community. 2) The data was summarized and analyzed. 3) The community nursing diagnosis was identified. 4) The nursing diagnosis was prioritized. 5) The general and specific objectives for service were identified. 6) A specific nursing plan was set up. 7) A detailed evaluation plan was established. Four community nursing diagnoses were identified from the community. 1) The utilization rate of health center was found to be low due to lack of knowledge about the health center and low accessibility. 2) High trafic accident rate due to narrow roads. 3) High prevalence of chronic disease due to inappropriate health behavior. 4) High noise level and foul smell due to inappropriate waste management. Among the four community nursing diagnoses. 'High prevalence of chronic diseases was identified as a priority community nursing problem. The criteria for prioritizing community nursing problems were as follows: number of people involved, fragility of clients. severity of the problem. availability. of resources. concern of the people. readiness of nurses. relevance to the national policy. This study describes the general and specific objectives to solve the high prevalence of chronic health problems. nursing plans. and an evaluation plan.

  • 한국원자력환경공단에서는 국내 경수로 원전에서 발생한 사용후핵연료를 건식으로 저장하기 위하여 안전성을 최우선으로 국내/외 기술기준을 준수하여 금속겸용용기를 개발하였다. 이러한 금속용기는 50년 동안 주요 안전성요소(구조, 열제거, 격납, 임계방지, 방사선차폐 등)에 대한 건전성을 유지하고, 운영기간 중 유지보수 과정에 폐기물의 발생을 최소화 하고 이를 안전하게 관리할 수 있도록 설계하였다. 본 논문은 설계수명이 종료된 금속용기 본체 및 내/외부 구조물에 대한 방사화 평가를 통해 정량적인 방사능 재고량에 대한 정보를 제공한다. 본 논문에서는 금속용기 본체 및 구성품의 방사화 방사능 재고량은 MCNP5 ORIGEN-2 평가체계를 이용하여 계산하였으며, 각 구성품의 화학조성, 중성자속 분포, 반응률 및 저장기간 동안 중성자조사 기간을 반영하여 평가하였다. 평가결과, 설계수명 이후 10년 경과시 모든 금속재질에서 $^{60}Co$의 방사능이 기타 핵종들에 비하여 가장 큰 방사능을 띄는 것으로 나타났으며, 중성자차폐체인 수지에서는 수명직후 $^{28}Al$$^{24}Na$등의 고에너지 감마선을 방출하는 핵종은 반감기가 짧아 0.5년 이후에는 무시할 수 있는 수준으로 나타났다. 또한, 사용후핵연료 제거후 캐니스터 및 금속용기 본체에 대한 표면 선량률 평가결과, 상당히 낮은 값을 나타내어, 해체 시 작업자가 받는 피폭선량은 무시할 수 있는 수준으로 평가되었다. 본 평가방법은 사용후핵연료 금속겸용용기 해체 시 계획의 수립 및 해체작업 종사자의 피폭선량 예측, 방사성폐기물의 관리/재활용 등의 기본자료로 활용할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
