본 논문은 국내에 건설된 충전소를 분석 검토하여 수소충전소에 대한 안전성 평가를 실시함으로써 수소충전 소의 안전성에 대한 확인과 충전소 설치 시 필요한 기준마련에 기초자료를 제공하는 것이 궁극적인 목표이다. 안전성 평가 방법으로 FMEA (Failure Mode and Effect Analysis)를 사용하였고, 충전소를 크게 4개의 공정(제조, 압축, 저장, 충전)으로 분류하였다. 또한 각각의 발견된 위험요소에 S (severity), O (occurrence), D (detection)의 점수를 부여하여 이 세 요소의 곱의 값인 RPN (Risk Priority Number)의 수치를 이용하여 위험의 우선순위를 정하고, 이를 바탕으로 시나리오를 생성하였다. 생성한 시나리오를 기반으로 사고피해영향평가 결과 주요한 사고 유형으로 jet fire와 폭발이 나타났고, PSA (pressure swing adsorption) 공정 feed line에서의 누출의 경우 원료물질에 따라 CO가스의 농도가 상이할 수도 있으나, CO가스중독 위험성을 함께 예측되었다.

Detonation cell width is an important parameter in hydrogen explosion assessments. The experimental data on gas detonation are statistically analyzed to establish a universal method to numerically predict detonation cell widths. It is commonly understood that detonation cell width, ${\lambda}$, is highly correlated with the characteristic reaction zone width, ${\delta}$. Classical parametric regression methods were widely applied in earlier research to build an explicit semiempirical correlation for the ratio of ${\lambda}/{\delta}$. The obtained correlations formulate the dependency of the ratio ${\lambda}/{\delta}$ on a dimensionless effective chemical activation energy and a dimensionless temperature of the gas mixture. In this paper, support vector regression (SVR), which is based on nonparametric machine learning, is applied to achieve functions with better fitness to experimental data and more accurate predictions. Furthermore, a third parameter, dimensionless pressure, is considered as an additional independent variable. It is found that three-parameter SVR can significantly improve the performance of the fitting function. Meanwhile, SVR also provides better adaptability and the model functions can be easily renewed when experimental database is updated or new regression parameters are considered.

FIMS/SPEAR is a dual-channel far-ultraviolet imaging spectrograph on board the Korean microsatellite STSAT-1, which was launched on 2003 September 27. The primary mission goal of FIMS was to conduct a survey of diffuse far UV emissions in our Galaxy. For this purpose, FIMS completed a survey of about 84% of the sky during its operation of a year and a half. The present study aims to analyze this survey data made in the far UV wavelengths to understand the global evolution of our Galaxy. The far UV wavelength band is known to contain important cooling lines of hot gas: hence, the study will show how the hot gas in our Galaxy, produced by stellar winds and supernova explosion, evolves globally to cool down and become mixed with ambient cooler medium. One of the main findings from previous analyses of the FIMS data is that molecular hydrogen exists ubiquitously in our Galaxy. This discovery leads to another important scientific question: how is molecular hydrogen distributed in our Galaxy and how does it affect globally the evolution of our Galaxy as a cold component? Hence, the present study will cover both the hot and cold components of the ISM, which will also provide the opportunity to investigate the interactions between the two.

This paper revisits the Fukushima accident to draw lessons in the aspect of nuclear safety considering the fact that the Fukushima accident resulted in core damage for three nuclear power plants simultaneously and that there is a high possibility of a failure of the integrity of reactor vessel and primary containment vessel. A brief review on the accident progression at Fukushima nuclear power plants is discussed to highlight the nature and characteristic of the event. As the severe accident management measures at the Fukushima Daiich nuclear power plants seem to be not fully effective, limitations of current severe accident management strategy are discussed to identify the areas for the potential improvements including core cooling strategy, containment venting, hydrogen control, depressurization of primary system, and proper indication of event progression. The gap between the Fukushima accident event progression and current understanding of severe accident phenomenology including the core damage, reactor vessel failure, containment failure, and hydrogen explosion are discussed. Adequacy of current safety goals are also discussed in view of the socio-economic impact of the Fukushima accident. As a conclusion, it is suggested that an investigation on a coherent integrated safety principle for the severe accident and development of innovative mitigation features is necessary for robust and resilient nuclear power system.

FCEV uses 250 ~ 450 V instead of using 12 V battery. High voltage vehicle can cause electric shock, fire and explosion accident. Therefore, it has potential factors that can cause hazard of safety for users. United states of America and Europe legislate regulations such as ECE R100, FMVSS 305 for regulating electrical safety during driving or after collision. The company manufacturing high voltage components must do advanced R&D about Method for improving and confirming the safety of high voltage. We develop the specific hardware components of high voltage wiring system for the power train system and power supply system of Hyundai Motors FCEV. This paper shows test method of insulative performance for securing the electrical safety of high voltage components such as power cable, connectors and buss-bar, and proposals the guide line value for human safety of FCEV according to the test result of our development components.

High temperature sodium/sulfur battery(Na/S battery) has good electrochemical properties, but, the battery has some problems such as explosion and corrosion at al. because of using the liquid electrodes at high temperature and production of high corrosion. Room temperature sodium/sulfur batteries (NAS batteries) is developed to resolve of the battery problem. To recently, room temperature sodium/sulfur batteries has higher discharge capacity than its of lithium ion battery, however, cycle life of the battery is shorter. Because, the sulfur electrode and electrolyte have some problem such as polysulfide resolution in electrolyte and reaction of anode material and polysulfide. Cycle life of the battery is improved by decrease of polysulfide resolution in electrolyte and block of reaction between anode material and polysulfide. If room temperature sodium/sulfur batteries (NAS batteries) with low cost and high capacity improves cycle life, the batteries will be commercialized batteries for electric storage, electric vehicle, and mobile electric items.

초고온가스로는 열출력 밀도가 낮아 노심용융의 가능성이 낮으며, 냉각재 상실사고 시 수소 발생 등으로 인한 폭발의 위험도 없다. 안전성 측면의 장점과 더불어 냉각재를 초고온으로 만들어 전력생산이외에 산업시설용 공정열로의 응용도 가능하다. 본 논문에서는 초고온가스로를 일차계통으로 하고, 전력 및 공정열 공급이 가능한 이차계통의 개념 설계를 담고 있다. 기존에 NGNP(Next Generation Nuclear Part)에서 제안한 350 MW 열출력 원자로 모델을 기반으로 수소생산 루프와는 별도로 전력생산을 위한 300 MW의 열에너지를 중간열교환기를 통해 이차계통으로 전달하는 참조모델을 개발하고, 이를 열역학적 측면에서 분석하였으며 이차계통 각 지점에서 주요 설계변수에 따른 효율분석과 최적화개념 연구를 수행하였다.

환경문제가 생존문제로까지 부각되면서 대기환경 개선을 위해 친환경에너지에 대한 관심이 높아져 그에 따른 환경 친화적 연료인 수소, LPG, CNG에 대한 수요가 점차 증가하고 있는 추세이다. 특히, 대부분의 연료를 수입에 의존하고 있는 우리나라의 경우 높은 생산량과 에너지 자립적 측면에서 유리한 위치에 있는 수소 에너지의 개발에 투자를 아끼지 않고 있는 상황이다. 하지만 매년 증가하고 있는 수요만큼 작은 누출사고부터 대형 화재 폭발사고까지 충전소사고 또한 다양하게 발생하고 있기 때문에 그에 대한 연구가 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 국내 외 충전소에서 발생하는 수소, LPG, CNG의 사고 사례들을 비교 분석하였고 위험성평가를 위한 다양한 프로그램을 사용해 가스누출에 의한 피해거리를 예측하고 위험거리를 평가하였다.

When the Fukushima nuclear power plant accident occurred in March, a hydrogen explosion in the reactor building at the 4th unit of Fukushima plants lead to a big surprise because the full core of the unit 4 reactor had been moved and stored underwater at the spent nuclear fuel storage pool for periodic maintenance. It was because the potential criticality in the fuel storage pool by coolant loss may yield more severe situation than the similar accident happened inside the reactor vessel. In the paper, the safety state of the spent fuel storage pool and rack structures of the domestic nuclear plants would be reviewed and compared with the Fukushima plant case by engineering viewpoint of potential severe accidents.
