The FHX (Forced-draft sodium-to-air Heat Exchanger) employed in the ADHRS (active decay heat removal system) is a shell-and-tube type counter-current flow heat exchanger with M-shape finned-tube arrangement. Liquid sodium flows inside the heat transfer tubes and atmospheric air flows over the finned tubes. The unit is placed in the upper region of the reactor building and has function of dumping the system heat load into the final heat sink, i.e., the atmosphere. Heat is transmitted from the primary cold sodium pool into the ADHRS sodium loop via DHX (decay heat exchanger), and a direct heat exchange occurs between the tube-side sodium and the shell-side air through the FHX tube wall. This paper describes the DHRS and the structural design of the FHX.

Digital light processing three-dimensional (3D) printing technique is a powerful tool to rapidly manufacture plastic scintillators of almost any shape or geometric features. In our previous study, the main properties of light output and transmission were analyzed. However, a more detailed study of the other properties is required to develop 3D printed plastic scintillators with expectable and reproducible properties. The 3D printed plastic scintillator displayed an average decay time constants of 15.6 ns, intrinsic energy resolution of 13.2%, and intrinsic detection efficiency of 6.81% for 477 keV Compton electrons from the ¹³⁷Cs γ-ray source. The 3D printed plastic scintillator showed a similar decay time and intrinsic detection efficiency as that of a commercial plastic scintillator BC408. Furthermore, the presented estimates for the properties showed good agreement with the analyzed data.

In order to improve luminescence prperty of phosphors, we have synthesized Zn2SiO4:Mn phosphors by a new chemical synthetic route, i.e., the homogeneous precipitation method. This method has featured that the formation of phosphoris completed at relatively low temperature of 105$0^{\circ}C$ and the particle morphology exhibits spherical shape to be well-dispersed and uniform size. At all the Mn concentration explored, phosphors prepared by this method have exhibited the improved emission intensities. In particular, the emission intensities of phosphors with Mn doping contents between 1 at% and 3.5 at% were higher about 40% than that of commercial phosphor. On the other hand, the decay time has been decreased from 23 ms to 11 ms with increasing Mn concentration. In addition, the phosphor composition containing 3 at% Mn has displayed the most saturated color.

선체의 횡관성모멘트는 선박의 횡운동 특성을 다루는 경우 제외될 수 없는 요소로서 그 크기의 적정성은 선체 동특성 해석의 결과와 신뢰성에 큰 영향을 미친다. 그러나 선박은 질량분포와 형상이 복잡하므로 이를 직접적인 계산을 통해 값을 구하기에는 과정이 매우 복잡하고 대상 선박의 구체적인 관련 자료를 얻기도 어렵다는 점에서 실용적으로는 선체 질량의 등가적 관성반경을 선체폭의 일정비율로 계산하는 간접적인 방법이 통용되고 있다. 한편, 어느 선체의 자유 횡운동이 나타내는 횡요 주기와 감쇠형태는 관성모멘트에 의해 영향을 받기 마련이고 따라서 이러한 응답의 결과적인 모양으로부터 역으로 해당 선박의 관성모멘트를 구하는 일반식의 도출이 가능할 것으로 유추될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 관찰에 의한 선체의 횡요 주기는 경사각의 진폭 감쇠비에 의해서도 달라지는 관계를 해석하여 횡요 주기와 경사각 진폭 감쇠비 모두를 함수 인자로 포함하는 일반식에 의해 횡관성모멘트 크기가 구해질 수 있음을 나타내었다. 또한 이러한 일반식에 횡요 관찰 선박의 주요 제원을 적용하였을 때 나타나는 특성 그래프들을 분석한 결과 횡요주기뿐 아니라 진폭감쇠비가 함께 검토될 때 얻어지는 관성모멘트 값이 보다 정확해진다는 것을 확인하였다.

In this paper decay and mapped elastodynamic infinite elements, based on modified Bessel shape functions and appropriate for Soil-Structure Interaction problems are described and discussed. These elements can be treated as a new form of the recently proposed Elastodynamic Infinite Elements with United Shape Functions (EIEUSF) infinite elements. The formulation of 2D horizontal type infinite elements (HIE) is demonstrated, but by similar techniques 2D vertical (VIE) and 2D corner (CIE) infinite elements can also be formulated. It is demonstrated that the application of the elastodynamical infinite elements is the easier and appropriate way to achieve an adequate simulation including basic aspects of Soil-Structure Interaction. Continuity along the artificial boundary (the line between finite and infinite elements) is discussed as well and the application of the proposed elastodynamical infinite elements in the Finite Element Method is explained in brief. Finally, a numerical example shows the computational efficiency of the proposed infinite elements.

A technique for the reduction of pulse pile-up effect in digital pulse-shape discrimination (PSD) of neutrons and gamma-rays with organic scintillation detectors is presented. The technique is based on an electronic reduction of the effective decay-time constant of scintillation pulses while retaining the PSD information of the pulses. The experimental results obtained with a NE213 liquid scintillation detector in a mixed radiation field of neutrons and gamma-rays are presented, demonstrating a figure of merit (FOM) of 1.20 ± 0.05 with an energy threshold of 350 keVee (electron equivalent energy) when the effective length of the pulses is reduced to 50 ns.

액체섬광계수기를 이용한 수용액시료 중의 미량의 Rn-222 및 Ra-226 농도 측정을 위한 분석방법을 확립하였다. 라돈 분석을 위해 자이렌계열 섬광용액(xylene-based cocktail) 12 mL를 사용하여 물 시료(10mL)내 라돈을 선택적으로 용매 추출하였다. 추출된 라돈을 측정용기 내에서 딸핵종과의 방사 평형을 위해 3시간동안 방치한 후 저준위 액체섬광계수기를 이용하여 계측하였다. Ra-226 분석을 위해서는 화학적 분리과정을 거친 후 자이렌 계열 섬광용액이 포함된 측정용기 내에서 일정 기간동안의 방사평형을 거쳐 생성된 Rn-222 및 알파선 딸핵종을 계측하였다. Rn-222 및 그의 알파선 딸핵종의 계측을 위한 최적 파형분석(PSA) 준위는 바탕시료에 대한 최대 효율값(Figure of Merit)을 조사하여 설정하였다.

InP/InGaP quantum structures (QSs) were grown on GaAs (001) substrates by a migration-enhanced molecular beam epitaxy method. Temperature-dependent photoluminescence (PL) and emission wavelength-dependent time-resolved PL (TRPL) were performed to investigate the optical properties of InP/InGaP QSs as a function of migration enhanced epitaxy (MEE) growth cycles from 2 to 8. One cycle for the growth of InP QS consists of 2-s In and 2-s P supply with an interruption time of 10 s after each source supply. As the MEE growth cycle increases from 2 to 8, the PL peak is redshifted and exhibited different (larger, comparable, or smaller) bandgap shrinkages with increasing temperature compared to that of bulk InP. The PL decay becomes faster with increasing MEE cycles while the PL decay time increases with increasing emission wavelength. These PL and TRPL results are attributed to the different QS density and size/shape caused by the MEE repetition cycles. Therefore, the size and density of InP QSs can be controlled by changing the MEE growth cycles.

Thermal shock or overheating of WGS catalyst for SEWGS system during hydrogen pre-treatment can cause reactivity decay of the catalyst. To select appropriate pre-treatment condition, temperature profiles of catalyst bed (or outside fluidized particle bed of bed insert) during pre-treatment were measured and then CO conversions of those catalysts during WGS reaction were also measured and compared. Drastic overheating of catalyst took place when we reduce catalyst at fixed bed condition and these catalysts showed low CO conversion during WGS reaction. On the contrary, there was no overheating of catalyst at fluidized bed condition not only physical mixing case but also bed insert case. Spring type bed insert showed acceptable CO conversion even at low WGS content. Consequently, feasibility of high CO conversion without decay of reactivity of catalyst and holding the WGS catalyst inside the SEWGS reactor as tablet shape were confirmed using spring type bed insert.

In this study, a new procedure for solving 2-D dynamic problems of semi-infinite medium in time domain by boundary element method (BEM) is presented. Efficient modelling of the far field region, infinite boundary elements are introduced. The shape function of the infinite boundary element is a combination of decay functions and Laguerre functions. Though the present shape functions have been developed for the time domain analysis, they may be also applicable to the frequency domain analysis. Through the response analysis in a 2-D half space under a uniformly distributed dynamic load, it has been found that an excellent accuracy can be achieved compared with the analytical solution
