  • Thermal infrared imaging is a highly promising technology for condition monitoring and predictive maintenance of electronic, electrical and mechanical elements in nuclear power plants. However, conventional low-cost infrared imaging systems suffer from poor spatial resolution compared to commercial CCD cameras. This paper describes an approach to enhance inspection performances for calandria reactor area of Wolsung nuclear power plant through the technique of superimposing thermal infrared image into real CCD image. In the occurrence of thermal abnormalities on observation points and areas of calandria reactor area, unusual hot image taken from thermal infrared camera is mapped upon real CCD image. The performance of the technique has been evaluated in the experiment carried out at Wolsung nuclear power plant in the overhaul period. The results show that localizations of thermal abnormalities on calandria reactor face can be estimated accurately.

  • 원자력 발전소의 제어계측 장비의 노후화 때문에, 원자력 발전소에서는 제어계측 장비의 고장으로 인한 발전소 불시정지가 가끔 일어난다. 원자력 발전소의 불시정지는 커다란 경제적 손실과 발전소의 신뢰도를 떨어뜨리고 대중적인 인식을 좋지 않게 한다. 그러므로 불필요한 불시정지를 방지하기 위해서 제어계측 부품의 노후화를 고려한 부품교체를 해주는 것이 필요하다. 이 논문은 월성 원자력 발전소의 제어 컴퓨터 부품의 최적교체주기에 대해 연구했다. 우리는 먼저 월성 디지탈 제어 컴퓨터 부품의 최적교체주기에 대한 수학적 모델을 유도했고, 해석적으로 최적교체주기를 계산했다. 우리는 그결과를 현재 월성 원자력 발전소에서 쓰이는 방법과 비교했다. 월성에서 사용되는 방법은 수학적 분석 방법이 아닌 경험적 지식을 토대로 한것이다. 결과적으로 해석적으로 얻어진 최적 교체주기와 월성에서 사용되는 교체주기와는 약간의 차이를 보이고 있다.

  • Green technology is being developed up to a point that is feasible not only in an environmental sense, but also in an economical viewpoint. This paper introduces two case studies that applied $CO_2$ technology into nuclear industry. 1) Nuclear laundry : A laundry machine that uses liquid and supercritical $CO_2$ as a solvent for decontamination of contaminated working dresses in nuclear power plants was developed. The machine consists of a 16 liter reactor, a recovery system with compressors, and storage tanks. All $CO_2$ used in cleaning is fully recovered and reused in next cleaning, resulting in no production of secondary nuclear waste. Decontamination factor is still lower than that in the methods currently used in the plant. Nuclear laundry using $CO_2$ looks promising with technical improvements-surfactants and mechanical agitation. 2) $CO_2$ nozzle decontamination : An adjustable nozzle for controlling the size of dry ice snow was developed. Using the developed nozzle, a surface decontamination device was made. Human oils like fingerprints on glass were easy to remove. Decontamination ability was tested using a contaminated pump-housing surface. About 40 to 80% of radioactivity was removed. This device is effective in surface-decontamination of any electrical devices like detector, controllers which cannot be cleaned in aqueous solution.

  • To assess the internal dose by $^3H\;&\;^{14}C$ in total diet of inhabitants near Wolsung Nuclear Power Plants, TFWT, OBT and $^{14}C$ concentration in total diet was analyzed for collection region and time. TFWT, OBT and $^{14}C$ concentrations were in the range of 3.19-42.2 Bq/L, 1.00-39.4 Bq/L, and 0.230-0.855 Bq/gC, respectively. The calculated annual effective dose with TFWT, OBT and $^{14}C$ is $6.10{\times}10^{-5}mSv/y,\;3.71{\times}10^{-5}mSv/y\;and\;7.08{\times}10^{-3}mSv/y$, respectively. And then annual internal dose with total diet for inhabitants near Wolsung NPPs is about $7.18{\times}10^{-3}mSv/y$, which is about 0.72% of annual effective dose limit 1 mSv/y.
