The spent fuel slitting device is an equipment developed in order to feed UO$_2$pellet to the dry pulverizing/mixing device. In this study, we have compared and analyzed the handling method of the slitting and that of the pellet and hull, processing time, separating time for 20kgHM, the number of blades, on the existing slitting device using in DUPIC, and spent fuel management technology research and test facility. Also, we have compared and analyzed about an advantage and weak point, designing and producing, processing, establishment, operation, maintenance about the vertical and horizontal slitting device. Based on these results, we have developed the vertical slitting device. By using the results, we have enhanced the slitting processing time(over 40%)in comparison with DUPIC device, and it will is effectively applied to available data for designing and producing of the hot test facility.

Slitting device is equipment to separate spent fuel of 250 mm rod cut pellets and hull in order to supply required $UO_2$ pellets through the dry pulverizing/mixing device. For development of its device, We have analyzed slitting programs so that the existing device is modified an appropriate scale in the advanced spent fuel conditioning process. The results of the analysis, we added the automatic separation function of pellets and hull, After slitting. Also, we have concentrated on reducing the operation time so that the support and the body of a slitting blade could have been established in the single structure to be easily maintained. It is based on a design and manufacture of a testing device and we have performed an efficiency evaluation. We have analyzed the results of efficiency tests of the slitting device and get the specification of the slitting device. we complete the basic design of the slitting device by using of these data. Therefore, We apply to a basic data when manufacturing a slitting device.

The spent fuel slitting device is an equipment developed for the separation of the pellet and hull from the cutting fuel rod with length of 250 mm, and in order to feed UO$_2$ pellet. We have analyzed on the existing technologies for designing and producing of the slitting device in the first year(2001), based on these results, designed and produced the rod slitting device. It has effectively separated the pellet from the hull, but demanded the supplement separation work because of the mixing with pellet and hull in the vessel, and required the condition for the reducing time of the process. In the second year(2002), we have reduced the work time, performed the test and capacity evaluation with the improving device, based these results, and ensured the data demanded for designing of the spent fuel rod slitting device. We have compared with the DUPIC(Direct use of spent PWR fuel in CAND reactors) process, and developed the device for the purpose of reducing over 40 % in comparition with the DUPIC operation time(5 minutes). Based on these results, it will is effectively applied to available data for designing and producing of the hot test facility.

In the electronic products, connector which play a role of board-to-board connection is an essential part. The manufacture process of this connector involves slitting and bending stage. Recently, manufacturing the connector is becoming more and more difficult as miniaturization of the electronic products. In this study, FEM analysis was performed on slitting and bending process for connector terminal with micro width in order to predict the cause of inaccurate dimension of connector terminal which occurs in actual industrial spot.

In this study, interesting area of development is retro-reflective thin film and then slitting to form retro-reflective material to be conbined with other fibers to form having retro-reflective characteristics, which slitting yarn can then be to provide fabrics. Glass beads are microscopic spherical size with diameters ranging from several microns to several millimeters. Applying the effects of optical property, glass beads are consumed for road safety used to make traffic signs, safety clothing and others. Glass beads retro-reflective films can be turned into slit yarns through slitting yarn process. The slit yarns can be combined into textiles using diverse methods such as weaving to provide a fabric having retro-reflective characteristics. Lightness and Luminance was increased with decreasing of interval of slit yarn in the fabric. Also, the hue is shifted greenish and bluish with interval of slit yarn.

Spent fuel decladding device and dry voloxidizer is to separate the spent pellet from spent fuel rod cut by 250mm and to convert the spent pellet into powder form for reuse and/or disposal of the spent fuel. There are two methods in decladding and voloxidation of spent fuel, that is, wet method with chemical material and dry method with mechanical device. In this study, to examine the fuel rod decladding process and the pellet voloxidation process, the devices for the spent fuel decladding and the pellet voloxidation with dry method are developed. The decladding machine is designed to separate pellets from fuel rod by slitting device. And, the voloxidizer is designed to convert the spent pellet which is ceramic form into powder form by oxidation using the multi step mesh, vibrator, and air in the high temperature environment. The result of this study, such as operation condition et., will be utilized in the design of the machine for demonstration.

In sheet metal forming process, it is very important to nest blanks optimally to get a maximum utilization ratio(UR) to reduce waste of material. Optimal Blank Nesting algorithm is developed about single nesting, double nesting, fixed slitting width and free slitting width. This algorithm was applied to various practical blanks which are under production. Then new optimal nesting configuration was obtained and higher UR was achieved by this program in each cases.

"Residual stress" can be developed during polymerization of the dental composite and it can be remained after this process was completed. The total amount of the force which applied to the composite restoration can be calculated by the sum of external and internal force. For the complete understanding of the restoration failure behavior. these two factors should be considered. In this experiment. I compared the residual stress of the recently developed nanofilled dental composite by ring slitting methods. The composites used in this study can be categorized in two groups. one is microhybrid type-Z250, as control group, and nanofilled type-Grandio, Filtek Supreme. Ceram-X, as experimental ones. Composite ring was made and marked two reference points on the surface. Then measure the change of the distance between these two points before and after ring slitting. From the distance change, average circumferential residual stress $({\sigma}{\theta})$ was calculated. In 10 minutes and 1 hour measurement groups, Filtek Supreme showed higher residual stress than Z250 and Ceram-X. In 24 hour group, Filtek showed higher stress than the other groups. Following the result of this experiment, nanofilled composite showed similar or higher residual stress than Z250, and when comparing the Z250 and Filtek Supreme, which have quite similar matrix components. Filtek Supreme groups showed higher residual stress.

During demonstrations of a process conditioning spent nuclear fuels, it may be necessary to transport and handle Spent fuel road cuts from Post Irradiation Examination facility to Slitting device in The hot cell. It may be not easy to transport spent fuel rod cuts because rod cuts are high radioactive materials. For this purpose, we have developed a capsule for transporting and handling high radioactive materials. We have analyzed conditions of a hot cell and requirements of the device, designed and manufactured The prototype of the device, and done some performance tests. From the tests, it has been shown that transportation and handling without scattering nuclear material was smooth but the weight of capsule was heavy. These result will be reflected to a design of the improved transportation and handling device which will be used during demonstrations.
