A laser scabbling experiment was performed using a high-power fiber laser to investigate the removal rate of the concrete block and the scabbled depth. Concrete specimens with a 28-day compressive strength of 30 MPa were used in this study. Initially, we conducted the scabbling experiment under a stationary laser beam condition to determine the optimum scan speed. The laser interaction time with the concrete surface varied between 3 s and 40 s. The degree of spalling and vitrification on the surface was primarily dependent on the laser interaction time and beam power. Furthermore, thermal images were captured to investigate the spatial and temporal distribution of temperature during the scabbling process. Based on the experimental results, the scan speed at which the optical head moved over the concrete was set to be 300 mm·min^-1 or 600 mm·min^-1 for the 4.8-kW or 6.8-kW laser beam, respectively. The spalling rates and average depth on the concrete blocks were measured to be 87 cm³·min^-1 or 227 cm³·min^-1 and 6.9 mm or 9.8 mm with the 4.8-kW or 6.8-kW laser beams, respectively.

The improvements of the DeCART/MUSAD code system for uncertainty analysis of HTGR neutronic parameters are presented in this paper. The function for quantifying an uncertainty of critical-spectrumweighted few group cross section was implemented using the generalized adjoint B₁ equation solver. Though the changes between the infinite and critical spectra cause a considerable difference in the contribution by the graphite scattering cross section, it does not significantly affect the total uncertainty. To reduce the number of iterations of the generalized adjoint transport equation solver, the generalized adjoint B₁ solution was used as the initial value for it and the number of iterations decreased to 50%. To reflect the implicit uncertainty, the correction factor was derived with the resonance integral. Moreover, an additional correction factor for the double heterogeneity was derived with the effective cross section of the DH region and it reduces the difference from the complete uncertainty. The code system was examined with the MHTGR-350 Ex.II-2 3D core benchmark. The k_eff uncertainty for Ex.II-2a with only the fresh fuel block was similar to that of the block and the uncertainty for Ex.II-2b with the fresh fuel and the burnt fuel blocks was smaller than that of the fresh fuel block.

칼슘-벤토나이트와 접한 약 $20\%$의 우라늄 산화물을 함유한 유리고화체가 알곤 분위기에서 모의 화강암지하수에 의해 침출되었을 때 노란색의 우라늄화합물이 벤토나이트와 고화체의 경계면에 농축되었다. 6년간의 침출후 형성된 우라늄 화합물이 beta-uranophane $[Ca(UO_2)_2(SiO_{3}OH)_{2}5H_{2}O]$임을 XRD, 적외선 스펙트럼과 질량분석기를 이용하여 확인하였으며, 이 화합물의 용해도를 $80^{\circ}C$, 탈이온수에서 측정한 결과 약 $10^{-6}\;mole/L$ 이었다.

GPS 위성은 세슘과 루비듐으로 이루어진 원자시계가 3~4개 탑재되어 있으며 NANU 정보를 통해 현재와 과거에 사용했었던 원자시계의 종류를 파악할 수 있다. 이 연구에서는 2001년부터 2009년까지의 SP3 파일에서 각 PRN에 대한 위성시계오차를 추출하여 분석하였다. 분석 결과 대체적으로 세슘시계는 직선형태, 루비듐시계는 곡선형태의 특성을 보였으나 일정한 경향은 나타나지 않았다. 또한 일주일간의 CLK 파일에서 위성시계오차를 추출하여 각 PRN별로 1차식과 2차식으로 접합하고 그 결과를 비교하였다. 세슘시계의 경우 2차식보다 1차식이 추출 데이터와 유사하였으며 루비듐시계의 경우 2차식이 추출 데이터와 유사하였고 특정 PRN은 다차항 형태의 특성을 보였다. 그리고 Modified Allan Deviation 방법을 이용하여 2007년과 2010년의 GPS 위성을 Block별, 원자 시계별로 분석하였다. 그결과 GPS 위성은 Block별, 원자시계별로 서로 다른 특성이 보였으며 Block 또는 원자시계가 변경되면 그 특성도 변경되는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

현재 GPS 위성항법시스템은 모두 32기의 Block IIA, Block IIR, Block IIR-M 위성으로 운용되고 있으며 12기의 Block IIA 위성은 15년 이상 된 것들이다. 열악한 우주 환경 속에서 장기간 사용된 위성은 고장이 발생하기도 하고, 특히 정밀한 위치와 시각 제공을 위해 탑재된 원자시계의 노후로 인하여 이상 현상이 발생 하기도 한다. 최근 IGS에서 제공하고 있는 Ultra-rapid 위성 시계 예측 정보의 정확도 성능이 떨어지고 있는데, Block IIA 위성 세슘 시계가 외부 환경이나 온도 변화에 쉽게 영향을 받아 안정된 원자시계의 성향을 보이지 않기 때문이다. 이런 노후 된 위성시계의 이상 현상은 GPS를 이용하는 응용분야에서 위치 성능의 저하를 수반한다. 따라서 노후 된 위성 시계의 성질과 이상 현상 등을 살펴보고 이를 감지 및 극복할 수 있는 기술 현황을 소개한다.

이미지 압축에서 레인지 블록들을 분할하는 것은 매우 중요한 문제이다. 본 논문에서는 프랙탈 이미지 압축기법에서 사용하는 분할-합병 기법을 동영상의 압축에 적용하였다. Quad-tree 방식은 top-down 방식으로 유사한 도메인 블록을 찾지 못하였을 경우 그 레인지를 4 등분하여 각각의 도메인 블록을 찾는 방식이다. 분할-합병 기법은 bottom-up 방식으로 Quad-tree 방식과 달리 주어진 크기의 원자 블록(atomic block)들을 도메인과의 유사성에 따라 연결함으로써 레인지를 불규칙적인 형태로 합병할 수 있다. 이 방식을 이용하여 동영상에서의 화질과 압축률의 개선을 기대할 수 있다.

The chances of accidental exposure are augmented as the application of ionizing radiation increases in various fields. Such accidental exposures may occur at nuclear power plants, laboratories, and hospitals. Cytogenetic assays have been used for estimating radiation dose in the situation of the accidents. The micronucleus assay has several advantages over the other cytogenetic methods as it is simple and fast. The present study aimed at investigation of the micronuclei frequencies in cytokinesis-block cells in human blood lymphocytes after ${\gamma}$-irradiation and at establishment of a standard dose response relationship. The samples of peripheral blood were obtained from 6 different donors aged between 24 and 30 years old. The bloods were irradiated in vitro with 0-5 Gy. A linear quadratic dose-response equation was obtained by scoring the micronuclei in binucleated cells; $y=27.87x^2+46.13x+2.08$ ($r^2=0.99$). Irradiation caused a significant decrease in the nuclear division index. Necrotic and apoptotic cells increased in number after irradiation in a dose-dependent manner. In conclusion, the conventional cytokinesis-block micronucleus assay has proven to be the great technique in biological dosimetry. Dose-response calibration curve derived from CMBN assay could be used to estimate the exposure dose during a radiological emergency.

Nuclear power plants have recognized the importance of nuclear cybersecurity. Based on regulatory guidelines and security-related standards issued by regulatory agencies around the world including IAEA, NRC, and KINAC, nuclear operating organizations and related systems manufacturing organizations, design companies, and regulatory agencies are considering methods to prepare for nuclear cybersecurity. Cryptographic algorithms have to be developed and applied in order to meet nuclear cybersecurity requirements. This paper presents methodologies for validating cryptographic algorithms that should be continuously applied at the critical control system of I&C in NPPs. Through the proposed schemes, validation programs are developed in the PLC, which is a critical system of a NPP's I&C, and the validation program is verified through simulation results. Since the development of a cryptographic algorithm validation program for critical digital systems of NPPs has not been carried out, the methodologies proposed in this paper could provide guidelines for Cryptographic Module Validation Modeling for Control Systems in NPPs. In particular, among several CMVP, specific testing techniques for ECB mode-based block ciphers are introduced with program codes and validation models.

The coupled conduction and convection heat transfer from the protruding heat source in a vertical channel is numerically investigated. Conjugate solution of the two-dimensional energy equation is obtained for the incompressible air flow over the rectangular block with local heat source. It was found that several recirculation zones and separation bubble near the block were related to Re and Gr. And the results show that fractions of the heat transfer through each of the block face, maximum temperature of the block and the relative effect of each parameter on the maximum temperature and heat transfer.

Poly[(R)-3-hydroxy butyrate] (PHB) and methoxy poly(ethylene glycol) (mPEG) were conjugated by the transesterification reaction with tin(II)-ethylhexanoate (Sn(Oct)-II) as a catalyst. Hydrophobic PHB and hydrophilic mPEG formed an amphiphilic block copolymer which was formed with the self-assembled polymeric micelle in aqueous solution. In this study, we tried to determine the optimum ratio of hydrophobic/hydrophilic segments for controlled drug delivery. The particle size and shape of the polymeric micelle were measured by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Their size were 61-102 nm with various block ratios. Griseofulvin was loaded in the polymeric micelle as a hydrophobic model drug. The loading efficiency and release profile were measured by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The model drug in our system was constantly released for 48 h.
