  • The importance of performing Level 3 probabilistic safety assessments (PSA) along with a general interest in assessing multi-unit risk has been sharply increasing after the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant (NPP) accident. However, relatively few studies on multi-unit Level 3 PSA have been performed to date, reflecting limited scenarios of multi-unit accidents with higher priority. The major difficulty to carry out a multi-unit Level 3 PSA lies in the exponentially increasing number of multi-unit accident combinations, as different source terms can be released from each NPP unit; indeed, building consequence models for the astronomical number of accident scenarios is simply impractical. In this study, a new approach has been developed that employs the look-up table method to cover every multi-unit accident scenario. Consequence results for each scenario can be found on the table, established with a practical amount of effort, and can be matched to the frequency of the scenario. Preliminary application to a six-unit NPP site was carried out, where it was found that the difference between full-coverage and cut-off cases could be considerably high and therefore influence the total risk. Additional studies should be performed to fine tune the details and overcome the limitations of the approach.

  • 한반도 특산식물인 매미꽃 자생 집단의 보전대책 수립을 위한 기초자료로 활용하고자 자생 집단의 분포와 식생환경 및 보전지위 평가를 수행하였다. 문헌자료 및 표본정보 수집과 현지조사를 통해 분포도를 작성한 결과 매미꽃은 지리산과 백운산 등 경상남도와 전라남도를 중심으로 주로 한반도 남부지방에 집중 분포하는 것으로 확인되었다. 또한 자생 집단은 주로 해발 227~744 m의 범위에 분포하였으며, 경사는 $5{\sim}11^{\circ}$ 계곡의 중 하부 지역에 많이 분포하였다. 8개 자생 집단에 대한 식생조사 결과 29개 조사구에서 총 238분류군이 출현하였으며, 각 조사구 내 초본층의 피도와 빈도를 기초로 매미꽃의 중요치를 산출한 결과 평균 25.34%로 나타났다. 8개 집단 내에 출현 종의 다양도는 평균 1.52였으며, 균등도와 우점도의 평균은 각각 0.83과 0.17로 산출되었다. 수집된 생물학적 자료를 바탕으로 IUCN 적색목록 기준에 의한 보전 지위를 평가한 결과 매미꽃은 Near Threatened(준위협종)에 포함되는 것으로 나타났으며, 이에 따라 매미꽃 자생 집단의 지속가능한 보존을 위한 전략수립과 필수적인 기초연구의 내용 및 방법이 논의 되었다.

  • 톨 페스큐와 한국들잔디의 혼합 조성은 미국의 전이지역에서 두 종간의 장점을 취하고 각종의 단점을 보완하는 실질적 관리기술로 제안되어 왔다. 이러한 두 종간의 초종 혼합은 관리 상 어려움이 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 한국들잔디와 톨 페스큐의 혼합이 운동장 답압 하에서 예초와 시비에 의해 적절한 수준의 잔디 관리가 가능한지 실험하였다. 한국들잔디는 1996년 6월에 파종하였고 동년 8월에 톨 페스큐를 덧 파종하였다. 1996년 11월에 한국들잔디의 피복율은 질소시비수준 0, 50, 100kg/ha에서 62.36, 29.88, 30.02%를 나타내었다. 예고 6.5, 5, 3.5cm에서 23.53, 41.95, 57.40%의 피복율을 보였다. 한국들잔디와 톨 페스큐의 혼합잔디는 1997년 7월에 1996년 늦가을과 큰 차이가 없는 피복을 수준을 보였다. 질소 시비율과 예고 간에는 유의한 수준의 교호작용이 있었다. 1998년 11월에는 한국들잔디의 피복율이 혼파 톨페스큐 두 품종간에 차이가 났는데,'Arid'와 'Grassland Garland' 조성구에서 각각 21.68%와 32.26%의 피복율을 보였다. 한국들잔디 피복율은 낮은 예고, 낮은 질소수준과 저답압에서 높은 경향을 보였다. 한국들잔디에서는 톨 페스큐 품종간과 질소수준, 톨 페스큐 품종간과 예고, 답압정도와 질소수준에서 교호작용을 보였다. 한국들잔디의 줄기밀도는 1998년도 실험에서 예고 6.5, 5와 3.5cm에서 7.42, 25.47과 68.96%를 나타내었고, 질소수준 0, 50, 100Kg/ha 에서 47.26, 20.27, 26.26%의 밀도를 보였다. 한국들잔디의 밀도는 질소수준과 예고, 답압정도에서 영향을 받았는데 이것은 잔디 관리 방법에 따라 줄기밀도와 잎의 생장이 적응하는 방식이 다르다는 것을 의미한다.

  • The purpose of this study was to propose the community planting method through analyzing the plant community structure of three green space types and the relationship of vegetation and wild bird inhabitation of urban environmental forest in Seoul, Korea. The results from this study showed that the vegetation stratification, coverage, and species diversity were closely related to the wild bird inhabitation. In addition, the environmental forest in study site was analyzed as a negative factor that may decrease the biodiversity. Therefore the ecological structure and environmental condition must be considered in order to improve the quality of environmental forest. Based on results in three green space types, the planting species, density and species size for proper community planting were proposed in this study. The ecological niche relationships among sixteen selected species were also presented. The results will be provided as an valueable output for the completed community planting of urban green space in the central region, Korea.

  • A CATHENA model for the reactor regulating system is developed and tested independently. A CATHENA plant model is created by combining this model with the reference CATHENA model which has been developed to analyze a loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA) for the Wolsong 2 generating station. This model is intended to provide a trip coverage analysis capability. The CATHENA reactor regulating system model includes the demand power routine. the light water zone control absorbers, mechanical control absorbers and adjusters. The CATHENA model is tested for steady state at 103% full power. A postulated accident transient (small LOCA) was also tested. The results show that the control routines in CATHENA were set up properly.

  • A safety class field programmable gate array based system in nuclear power plant has been developed to improve the diversity. Testbench is necessary to satisfy the technical reference, IEC-62566, for verification and validation of register transfer level code. We use the open verification methodology(OVM) developed by standard body. We show that our testbench can use random input for test. And also we show that reusability of block level testbench for the integration level testbench, which is very efficient for large scale system like nuclear reactor protection system.

  • In general, A synchronous generator is higher than the voltage stability of the induction generator. However, induction generator has many advantages rather than a synchronous generator in terms of price and maintenance. So, coverage rate of the induction generator is gradually increasing in small hydroelectric power station rather than 1000kW recently. In order to increase the penetration of induction generator, pre-analysis of the operation of the generator is needed. In this study, we analyzed for the problems that occur when synchronous generator and induction generator of 1500kW is connected to the distribution system.

  • This study proposes a particular approach to assess information about NDVI(Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) and LAI(Leaf Area Index) from the spectroradiometer and NOAA/AVHRR satellite data. AVHRR data were collected in twelves months over a one year period in 2004. We calculated 10-day composite NDVI using daily composite AVHRR surface reflectance products(1km spatial resolution). The 10-day composite NDVI have a great effect on the plant growth conditions. Considerably, NDVI was increased by developing muscle fiber tissue from April to May. Then the NDVI increased until the August and then decreased until February. The highest month was at August and the lower month was at December. The difference NDVI analysis using December and another months data was conducted, the results were provided information on the variation of vegetation coverage. The result suggest that a relationship established between the LAI and NDVI in 2004.

  • Water erosion is progressing in the Loess Plateau, especially in gullies, and the sediment runoff to the Yellow River amounts to 975 million tons every year. Natural factors for water erosion include climate, soil, geological feature, terrain and vegetation. Many development projects due to the increasing population reduced the forest coverage ratio to 10%, and 200 million people in the downstream area are suffering from the damage during intense rainfall. Accordingly, the Chinese government is continuously trying to efficiently prevent the erosion by establishing measures for water erosion, including fish-scale pits, terrace technique, and check dams.

  • This paper focuses on construction cost volatility for the purpose of private sector investment by use of a financial model with key indices of IRR and DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio). A case project, 1,000 MW pumped storage hydropower plant, has shown that its financial impacts by cost volatility of underground works are less measured than interest rates impacts by interest rate of loans. Probabilistic analysis of costs under geotechnical conditions has been made by Indicator Kriging method. And, in the modeling of interest rates, geometric Brownian motion has been applied. Both of these impacts are measured on the same financial model.
