Leak-before-break(LBB) approach has been shown to be both cost effective and risk reductive when applied to high energy Piping in nuclear Power Plants. For the Korean Next Generation Reactor (KNGR) development, LBB application is considered for the Main Steam Line(MSL) piping inside containment. Unlike the primary system leakages, the MSL leak detection systems must be based on principles other than radioactivity measurements. Among humidity, heat and acoustic noise currently being considered as indicators of leakage, we explored humidity as an effective one and developed ceramic-based humidity sensor which can be qualified for LBB applications. The ceramic material, sintered and annealed MgCr$_2$O$_4$-TiO$_2$, is shown to increase its electrical conductivity drastically upon water vapor adsorption over the entire temperature range of interest. With this ceramic sensor specimen, we suggested installation-inside-the-piping method by which we can detect leakage more rapidly and sensitively. In this paper, we describe the progress in the development and characterization of ceramic humidity sensor for the LBB application to the MSL of KNGR.

KSTAR 장치의 저온 component에 헬륨을 공급하기 위한 헬륨라인은 크게 두 가지로 이루어져 있다. 냉동기에서 KSTAR 저온용기 외부까지의 트랜스퍼 라인과, 저온용기 내부의 헬륨라인이다. KSTAR 장치는 3가지 종류의 헬륨을 사용하여 각 저온 component를 냉각하는데, 초전도 자석 시스템과 버스라인에는 초임계 헬륨, 전류인입장치에는 액체 헬륨, 열차폐체에는 가스 헬륨을 공급한다. 저온용기 내부의 헬륨라인은 냉동기에서 저온용기 근처까지 연결된 배관을 저온용기 내부의 각 장치에 최단거리로 열손실 없이 설치하여 각 장치가 정상 작동하도록 하는데 그 목적이 있다. 저온용기 내부의 헬륨라인은 최대 20bar로 가압되는 운전시간 동안에 헬륨누설 없이 설치되어야 한다. 그리고 상온으로 부터의 복사열을 차단하기 위하여 다층절연제로 배관을 감싸주어야 하고 고전압 부분은 프리프레그 테잎으로 절연되어야 한다. 전기절연체는 세라믹과 스테인레스 스틸 튜브를 브레이징 접합 방법으로 연결하여 만들어진 것으론 배관과 배관, 배관과 저온 component간의 절연을 위해 사용되고, 헬륨라인과 동일하게 4.5K 초임계 헬륨온도에서 누설이 없어야 한다. 따라서 모든 전기절연체는 액체질소에 침전시켜 열충격을 가하고, 내부에 30 bar를 가압하여 진공 누설시험을 한다. 그리고 초전도 자석과 배관의 절연체로 사용되므로 15kV 고전압 절연 검사를 한다. 전기절연체의 세라믹 부분은 구조적 보강을 위하여 추가적으로 표면에 절연 작업을 한다. 현재 대부분의 저온용기 내부의 헬륨 라인은 설치 완료되어 있으며, 최종 검사가 진행 중이다.

In this papers, we made study for plastic chip antenna, the plastic is Foamex with the circle of PVC and its electric characteristics are dielectric constant 1.9, insulation intensity 112 KV/cm. The proposed antenna is same as the conventional antennas are usually constructed with ceramic chip, which are not fragile in nature and don't tend to break easily. Therefore the proposed antenna with its advantage is attractive for application in mobile antenna. In order to valid the proposed papers, it is implemented the antennas of four types and experimented. From the results, we conformed that the antennas are operated at the dual band which is cellular band and Korea-PCS band. And the gain of the antennas has about above -2 dB and the pattern is same as conventional antennas. From this papers, the realized antennas using Foamex material will be application for mobile phone antenna.

High voltage MLCCs with C0G temperature coefficient characteristics could apply DC-DC invertor were investigated for its dielectric properties. Also we manufactured MLCC through various process and studied the characteristics of dielectric break down voltage [BDV] and dielectric property as the variation of thickness in the green sheet and how to pattern the internal electrode. As the thickness of green sheet is increase, the dielectric BDV per unit thickness is decreased. But as the pattern of internal electrodes were floated we could manufacture the high voltage MLCC maintained its dielectric BDV a unit.

Both $Al_2O_3$ and $SiO_2$ nanopowders were ball-milled to break large agglomerates$(500nm\sim10{\mu}m$). To improve the dispersion of ball-milled nanoparticles in transformer oil, surface modification was performed with oleic acid(OA). The modified nanoparticles were examined by the particle size analyzer, electron microscope, Infrared spectroscopy and stability analyser. Particle Size distributions were measured for ball-milled particles, and the results were compared with the size distribution of primary particles. FTIR results indicated that hydrophobicity of modified nanoparticles was due to the chemical reaction between hydroxyl groups of particle surface and oleic acid. The dispersion stability of surface-modified nanoparticles was quite good in transformer oil.

To reduce noise in high frequency and distortion of signal, the composition of $(Ca_{0.7}Sr_{0.3})(Zr_{0.97}Ti_{0.03})O_3$ and $(Ba_{0.2}Ca_{0.4}Sr_{0.4})TiO_3$ was developed. The composition was not solid solution, but mixtures of various phases composed of Ca, Sr, Zr, Ti and Ba oxides. The dielectric constant increased, the quality factor and the insulation resistance decreased with $(Ba_{0.2}Ca_{0.4}Sr_{0.4})TiO_3$ content. The composition of $0.4(Ba_{0.2}Ca_{0.4}Sr_{0.4})TiO_3$ satisfied the electric characteristics and the temperature coefficient of dielectric constant (TCC). In addition, the glass frit and $MnO_2$ also affected the electric characteristics. From the result of the best fit simulation, $MnO_2$ 0.3 mol%, the glass frit 0.6 wt% showed the insulation resistance $906{\Omega}{\cdot}F$, the quality factor 821, and the dielectric constant 92. With the selected composition, MLCC capacitors sized $4.5{\times}3.2{\times}2.5mm$ were manufactured with 105 layered of the dielectric thickness $16{\mu}m$ using Ni inner electrode, They represented the capacitance $98{\sim}102$ nF, the quality factor 1,200 and the insulation resistance $1,500{\Omega}{\cdot}F$. Also, they had high break-down voltage with $107{\sim}115V/{\mu}m$, and satisfied the SL TCC characteristics.

본 논문에서는 저온 동시 소성 세라믹(Low Temperature Co-fired Ceramic: LTCC) 기술을 이용하여 Wi-Fi와 WiMAX에 적용할 수 있는 무선 전단부(RF front-end) 모듈을 구현하였다. 무선 전단부 모듈은 3개의 LTCC 대역 통과 여파기와 FBAR 여파기, embedded된 정합 회로, Wi-Fi와 WiMAX 모드 선택용 SPDT 스위치, 송 수신택용 SPDT 스위치 그리고 대역 선택용 SP4T 스위치로 구성되어 있다. 모드 선택용 SPDT 스위치의 DC block 패시터를 실장하기 위한 패드 패턴에서 LTCC의 적층 구조의 특성으로 인해 0.2~0.3 pF의 값을 가지는 기생 성분이 생기게 된다. 이러한 기생 성분은 설계된 회로의 매칭을 틀어지게 만들어 결과적으로 모듈의 전기적 성능을 저하시킨다. 따라서 기생 커패시터 성분에 상응하는 칩 인덕터를 DC block 커패시터 패드 패턴과 병렬로 달아서 기생 성분을 상쇄하여 모듈의 특성을 최적화하였다. 제작된 무선 전단부 모듈은 내부 접지(inner GND) 3개 층을 포함한 12층으로 설계되었으며, 크기는 $6.0mm{\times}6.0mm{\times}0.728mm$이다.
