In this paper, we propose a new type of power control system for the rod drive coil of the CEDM of the PWR NPP in order to supply more reliable DC power The electrical modelling of the controlled rod drive coil was done by referring related documentations. The design of the proposed system is based on this electric81 model satisfying the existing specification. A high power DC-DC converter scheme is adopted utilizing the SMPS technique in the design of the proposed system. In order to show the effectiveness of the proposed system, an experimental system with the capability of 3.2 K Watt was set up for a rod with four cores and some computer simulations and experimentations were carried out. The result shows a very similar tracking performance with that of the existing system to the driving command. As a result of this, the proposed method can be applied to the power control system for the rod drive coil of the CEDM of the PWR NPP.

We have identified sodium benzanilide (Na-BA), sodium diphenyl amine (Na-DPA) and sodium deoxibenzoin (Na-DB) as very efficient initiators for the living anionic polymerization of HIC. It has a slow propagation rate with the additive function of chain end protection, offering in the process a perfect control over MW and MWD. The well-defined amphiphilic coil-rod, coil-rod-coil, and rod-coil-rod block-copolymers of PHIC and P2VP with controlled architecture have been synthesized for the first time with ${\sim}100\;%$ yields. The resulting block copolymers showed lamellar film, donuts, solid and hollow micelles, by simply varying the solvents and the block compositions.

Coil spring of automobile suspension system is very important to safety and dynamics of passenger car and requires a highly advanced quality control during manufacturing processes. Surface cracks on the coil spring rod produced by mechanical machining and heat treatment may cause a severe accident and large cost to the manufacturer. In order to detect surface cracks of the rod, guided wave technique is applied for a fast total volumetric inspection. Pochhammer equation is studied to investigate the dispersion characteristics of the guided wave in the spring rod and optimal wave modes sensitive to the surface crack are selected experimentally to design the experimental arrangement for the generation of guided wave. Rod samples with different size of artificial axial EDM notch on the surface ranging from 50${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ to 1 mm are examined by guided wave and inspection results discussed.

The bulk properties of poly(γ-benzyl-L-glutamate)-poly(ethylene glycol), PBLG-PEO, diblock copolymer were investigated. The helical transition from 7/2 to 13/5 for pure PBLG was at 120 oC while those of GE-1 and GE-2, which contain flexible PEO block 40 wt% and 60 wt% respectively, were shown at 135℃ on DSC experiments. FT-IR and XRD experiments were shown that the diblock copolymers maintained their α-helical structure in the temperature range between 25℃ and 175℃. Increasing relative size of coil part resulted in the increase of intermolecular packing distances. Due to well-maintained helical structure, lyotropic LC phases were observed for the PBLG-PEO block copolymer by the polarized optical microscope (POM). Especially, GE-3 copolymer, which has 12.5 wt% PEO contents, showed the smectic C phase. The competition of favorable aggregation energy between rod-rod and coil-coil, and unfavorable aggregation energy of rod-coil give rise to change the supramolecular structure in mixed solvent.

An experimental study of an eddy current nondestructive testing system to measure dimensions of cylindrical metallic rods, such as cross-sectional area or diameter, is presented. Impedance characteristics of a solenoid sensor, which are generally based on Maxwell's equations in electromagnetic field, are briefly discussed for inspecting geometrical parameters of the coil sensor and testing materials. A measurement system for detecting the diameter of the metallic rod is implemented. This instrument has capabilities for detecting the sensor output signals and estimating demensions of the testing material, continuously. As a result, it was shown that the eddy current sensor with an encircling coil could estimate the diameter of metallic rod. The implemented measurement system gives accurate information for inspecting the dimension of conducting rod with good sensitivity.

In this paper, we introduce a new method detecting thyristor faults of the power converter module in Control Rod Control System. When we control the currents in each coil of Control Rod Drive Mechanism by using the current control method, the current value can follow the current reference despite the faults like the missing phase or the diode acting. Comparing the fault current values with the normal current values, the bad transient characteristics of the abnormal current can make the operations of control rods incorrect. In this case, the information from the current trends cannot be enough to detect the fault occurrence in thyristors. Instead of the coil currents, the state of thyristors can be watched by measuring the coil voltages. In the existing system of Westinghouse type, the ripple detector takes charge of this task. But this detector has some shortcomings in the point of time for fault detection, we come to devise a new fault detection method solving the problems which belong to the ripple detector.

At Wire Rod Mill Plant, wire is made of the billet produced at continuous casting machine, or rolled bloom produced at billeting mill, and the product can be classified of wire of 5.5${\Phi}$ and bar in coil of 14∼42${\Phi}$ in diameter(bar in coil will be referred to as coil as below). At present, wire is produced at POSCO No.1, 2, 3 WRM, coil at garret line of No. 2 WRM. Head and tail of coil are properly cut and treated to scrap to fulfill the customer's satisfaction. This above cutting is done off line, and small size coil can be cut manually with clipper, large size coil with hydraulic cutter. Nowadays, it is being investigated to cut automatically in line with trimming shear after passing mill stand. At the moment, Because the coil produced at the garret line of No.2 WRM is hot 400∼600$^{\circ}C$ and trimming is done manually with cutter, there are always interference from manual operation or safety problem of bad working condition. Not only because of the diversity of the coil size 14∼42${\Phi}$ in diameter, but because of the rolling speed 2.5∼22m/sec, it is required to be equipped with several trimming shear. But this can be accomplished with only one shear installed proper place at this paper.

We have demonstrated that the cylindrical micelles self-assembled from coil-rod-coil molecules can be interconnected by addition of a small amount of rod-coil-rod molecule as a bridging agent. Subsequently, these dynamic interconnections lead to stiff bundles composed of cylindrical micelles that are responsible for the formation of a reversible nematic gel. The results described here represent a significant example that dynamic bridging of supramolecular cylinders in aqueous solution can provide a useful strategy to construct one-dimensional nematic structure with three dimensional elastic properties.
