  • In order to establish a conceptual basis and future research direction of safety leadership, this study reviewed domestic and foreign research trends related to safety leadership through systematic literature review methods. The literature search was conducted by combining terms related to safety leadership without limiting the period databases. A total of 195 documents were found, of which the final 59 were used for analysis. As a results, the safety leadership study was the most frequent in relations among variables. The most leadership types were based on transactional leadership and transformational leadership. In addition, studies have been conducted to categorize safety leadership as an independent concept. Safety leadership was mainly studied in the fields of safety engineering, disaster prevention, and business administration. Quantitative studies were mainly conducted to research methods. Based on the results, the research trend related to safety leadership was discussed, and suggestions for future research direction was presented.

  • Introduction: Following the Republic of Korea electric power industry site-specific safety management system, this paper proposes a novel safety autonomous platform (SAP) architecture that can automatically and precisely manage on-site safety through ensemble artificial intelligence (AI) models. The ensemble AI model was generated from video information and worker's biometric information as learning data and the estimation results of this model are based on standard operating procedures of the workplace and safety rules. Methods: The ensemble AI model is designed and implemented by the Hadoop ecosystem with Kafka/NiFi, Spark/Hive, HUE, and ELK (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana). Results: The functional evaluation shows that the main function of this SAP architecture was operated successfully. Discussion: The proposed model is confirmed to work well with safety mobility gateways to provide some safety applications.

  • The purpose of this study was to investigate the toxic effects of iso-butylalcohol on Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats which were treated 0, 333, 1,000 and 3,000 ppm for 6 hours a day, 5 days a week for 13 weeks by inhalation. Iso-butylalcohol did not induce any abnormal change in the viewpoint of clinical signs, feed consumption, ophthalmic test, urinalysis, hematology and blood biochemistry during and at the termination of the inhalation toxicity test. We did not find any abnormal findings in the gross and microscopic observations due to the inhalation of iso-butylalcohol. There was no alteration in relative organ weight owing to the inhalation of the iso-butylalcohol. In conclusion, concentration was 3,000 ppm in rats under the inhalation of 6 hours a day, 5 days a week for 13 week. Iso-butylalcohol did not show any change in the clinical signs, feed consumption, ophthalmic test, urinalysis, hematology and blood biochemistry, together with no alteration in the gross and pathological findings.

  • JAEA started the LSTF experiments in 1985 for the fourth stage of the ROSA Program (ROSA-IV) for the LWR thermal-hydraulic safety research to identify and investigate the thermal-hydraulic phenomena and to confirm the effectiveness of ECCS during small-break LOCAs and operational transients. The LSTF experiments are underway for the ROSA-V Program and the OECD/NEA ROSA Project that intends to resolve issues in thermal-hydraulic analyses relevant to LWR safety. Six types of the LSTF experiments have been done for both the system integral and separate-effect experiments among international members from 14 countries. Results of four experiments for the ROSA Project are briefly presented with analysis by a best-estimate (BE) code and a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code to illustrate the capability of the LSTF and codes to simulate the thermal-hydraulic phenomena that may appear during SBLOCAs and transients. The thermal-hydraulic phenomena dealt with are coolant mixing and temperature stratification, water hammer up to high system pressure, natural circulation under high core power condition, and non-condensable gas effect during asymmetric SG depressurization as an AM action.

  • Pyroprocess technology has been considered as a fuel cycle option to solve the spent fuel accumulation problems in Korea. The Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute has been studying pyroprocess technology, and the conceptual design of an engineering-scale pyroprocess facility, called the Advanced Fuel Cycle (AFC) facility, has been performed on the basis of a 10tHM throughput per year. In this paper, the concept of the AFC facility was introduced, and its safety evaluations were performed. For the safety evaluations, anticipated accident events were selected, and environmental safety analyses were conducted for the safety of the public and workers. In addition, basic radiation shielding safety analyses and criticality safety analyses were conducted. These preliminary safety studies will be used to specify the concept of safety systems for pyroprocess facilities, and to establish safety design policies and advance more definite safety designs.

  • Recently, public safety services have attracted significant attention for their ability to protect people from crimes. Rapid detection of dangerous situations (that is, abnormal situations where someone may be harmed or killed) is required in public safety services to reduce the time required to respond to such situations. This study proposes a novel danger detection technology based on multimodal data, which includes data from multiple sensors (for example, accelerometer, gyroscope, heart rate, air pressure, and global positioning system sensors), and multilog data, which includes contextual logs of humans and places (for example, contextual logs of human activities and crime-ridden districts) over time. To recognize human activity (for example, walk, sit, and punch), the proposed technology uses multimodal data analysis with an attitude heading reference system and long short-term memory. The proposed technology also includes multilog data analysis for detecting whether recognized activities of humans are dangerous. The proposed danger detection technology will benefit public safety services by improving danger detection capabilities.
