Concrete waste generated in the result of dismantling a concrete structure in a radiation control area and refractory brick waste generated from uranium pellet sintering furnace are surface-contaminated by uranium particle of which the enrichment is below 5%. These wastes are hard to decontaminate so it was necessary to develop the process for its disposal. So, we developed the Process Control Plan (PCP) for disposal of radioactive concrete waste describing a whole sequence of disposal and inspecting procedures based on the KNF Radioactive Waste Quality Assurance Plan (KN-WQAP) established in 2021. Based on the PCP, we crushed the concrete waste by jaw-crusher. Then we sieved the crushed concrete waste and removed the particle of which size is below 0.3 mm, using sieve-vibrator where the 0.3 mm mesh-sized sieve is installed inside. Before conducting the crush-sieving method based on the PCP, we conducted Process Control Assessment (PCA) based on the KN-WQAP. The purpose of the PCA is to check whether the output of the process satisfies the Acceptance Criteria of Korea Radioactive Waste Agency (KORAD) so that we could confirm the validity of the PCP. The evaluation item of the PCA is a particulate size verification test. The test is passed only if the component ratio of a particle size below 0.2 mm is less than 15% and the particle size below 0.01 mm is less than 1%. The very first 3 drums passed the test, so we began applying the PCP to whole target drums. In the process of conducting the crush-sieving method in earnest, qualified inspectors based on KNWQAP participated conducting sampling, measuring and checking whether a foreign material was included. They tested samples and packaged drums regarding 5 spheres of general, radiological, physical, chemical and biological characteristic. KNF disposed concrete and refractory brick waste by the crush-sieving method so that KNF could take over 100 drums to KORAD in 2021. But, it is needed to be improved that a dust size below 0.3 mm is generated as a secondary waste which needs to be solidified for the final disposal and the work environment is not good enough because of the dust.

이끼의 분쇄번식 시, 가장 적합한 배양토, 광, 온도를 구명 하기 위해 날개양털이끼(Brachythecium plumosum)와 쥐꼬리이끼(Myuroclada maximowiczii)를 이용하여 실험을 수행하였다. 실험 개시 4주 후에 사진을 찍어 Photoshop에서 이끼 면적과 녹색 평균값을 구하여 이끼의 생육 정도를 나타내었다. 배양토의 경우, 두 이끼 모두 다스란 상토에서 생육이 가장 좋았고, 상토:마사토(50:50), 원예상토, 마사토:피트모스(50:50) 에서는 비슷한 수준이었다. 버미큘라이트 단용에서는 생육이 부진하였다. 광도실험에서는 날개양털이끼는 25umol･m-2･s-1 에서 100umol･m-2･s-1까지 광도가 높아질수록 생육이 조금씩 좋아지는 경향이었으나, 쥐꼬리이끼는 3개의 광환경에서 비슷한 수준이었다. 온도 실험에서는 두 이끼 모두 23℃에서 면적과 녹색값이 가장 높아 생육도 좋았다. 이러한 결과를 종합 하면, 건조한 이끼를 분쇄하여 번식할 때, 배양토로는 보습력이 좋은 다스란 상토나 원예용 상토가 무난하며, 광도는 25~100umol･m-2･s-1 범위, 온도는 20~23℃가 적당할 것으로 판단된다.

Recently the incidence of rollover accidents has increased due to the increase of SUV, and the probability of occupant injury in rollover accidents is very high, so research is needed accordingly. In this study, PC-CRASH, which is a program used for traffic accident analysis, is used for checking rollover speed and rollover angle of each situation in case of rollover accident, and applied to design variables of LS-DYNA which is finite element analysis program, so deformation displacements of roof according to collision velocity and angle were derived. Also, it is possible to predict rollover vehicle speed by using the derived value and the measured deformation displacement of roof in actual rollover accident, and it is possible to reconstruct accident more accurately by applying to PC-Crash which is traffic accident reconstruction program, so it is thought that it can be utilized analyzing traffic accident usefully.

This study purposed to examine the effect of low power laser on pain response and axonal regeneration. In order to prepare peripheral nerve injury models, we crushed the sciatic nerve of Sprague-Dawley rats and treated them with low power laser for 21 days. The rats were divided into 4 groups: normal group(n=10); control group(n=10) without any treatment after the induction of sciatic nerve crush injury; experimental group I(n=10) treated with low power laser(0.21mJ/㎟) after the induction of sciatic nerve crush injury; and experimental group II(n=10) treated with low power laser(5.25mJ/㎟) after the induction of sciatic nerve crush injury. We measured spontaneous pain behavior(paw withdrawal latency test) and mechanical allodynia(von Frey filament test) for evaluating pain behavioral response, and measured the sciatic function index for evaluating the functional recovery of peripheral nerve before the induction of sciatic nerve crush injury and on day 1, 7, 14 and 21 after the induction. After the experiment was completed, changes in the H & E stain and toluidine blue stain were examined histopathologically, and changes in MAG(myelin associated glycoprotein) and c-fos were examined immunohistologically. According to the results of this study, when low power laser was applied to rat models with sciatic nerve crush injury for 21 days and the results were examined through pain behavior evaluation and neurobehavioral, histopathological and immunohistological analyses, low power laser was found to affect pain response and axonal regeneration in both experimental group I and experimental group II. Moreover, the effect on pain response and axonal regeneration was more positive in experimental group I to which output 0.21mJ/㎟ was applied than in experimental group II to which 5.25mJ/㎟ was applied.

This study demonstrated that hyaluronic acid (HA) accelerated peripheral nerve regeneration after crush injury to the common peroneal nerve in an experimental rabbit model. Ten male New Zealand White rabbits, weighing 1.8 to 2.0 kg, were used in this study. After creating the nerve crush model in every right leg, rabbits were divided into two groups. Animals in group A received application of HA into the area surrounding the crushed nerve, and group B was the sham control. Electrophysiological assessment was performed every week. After 10 weeks, nerve histological examination, muscle weight and muscle histology were used to evaluate regeneration of the injured common peroneal nerve. No differences in electrophysiological assessment were observed between the two groups. In peripheral nerve histology, myelinated nerve fibers were observed more frequently and less connective tissue was observed in the crushed nerve of group A. Fewer muscle degenerative changes, such as fibrosis, atrophy, and centrally located myonuclei, were detected in group A than in group B. In conclusion, HA could become a potential neuroprotective agent for improvement of peripheral nerve regeneration after crush injury.

This study investigated the influences of the addition of lactic acid bacteria inoculants and an enzyme during the crush processing of com silage on the nutritive value, nutrient intake and aerobic deterioration. The fermentation quality of the silages showed that although all of the silages were of good quality, the V-score of U was 91.0 points and significantly lower than those of other silages (P＜0.01). On the chemical composition of silages, the crude protein concentration of U was 7.1%DM and significantly lower than those of other silages (P＜0.05). On the digestibility, the nutritive value and nutrient intake did not significantly differ among the silages examined. After silo opening, a rapid rise in heat was seen from the 6th after opening for 11C38 and SLA, and from the 9th in U and SL, respectively.

Skeletal muscle injury occurs frequently in sports medicine and is the most general form of injury followed by physical impact. There are growth factors which conduct proliferation, differentiation, and synthesis of myogenic prodromal cells and regulate vascular generation for the continued survival of myocytes. The purpose of the present study was to confirm the effects of electroacupuncture (EA) and electrical stimulation (ES) on muscle recovery processes according to vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression. Eighteen Sprague-Dawley rats were separated into 2 experimental groups and a controlled group. All animals had suffered from crush damage in the extensor digitorum longus for 30 seconds and were killed 1, 3, and 7 days after injury. 30 Hz and 1 mA impulsion for 15 minutes was applied to the EA experimental groups Zusanli (ST36) and Taichong (LR3) using electroacupuncture and the same stimulation was applied to the ES group using an electrical node. Hematoxyline-Eosin staining and VEGF immunohistochemistry were used to ascertain the resulting muscle recovery. There were few morphological differences between the EA and ES groups, and both groups were observed to have tendencies to decrease atrophy as time passed. In the controlled group, gradually diminishing atrophy could be observed, but their forms were mostly disheveled. There were few differences in VEGF expression between the EA and ES groups, and tendencies to have an increased quantity of VEGF with the lapse of time were observed in both groups. In the controlled group, a little VEGF expression could be observed merely 7 days after injury. In conclusion, EA and ES contributed to muscle recovery processes and could be used for the treatment of muscle injury.

노후콘크리트 포장 수명을 연장하기 위한 방안으로 아스팔트 덧씌우기가 일반적이나 반사균열을 억제하기 어렵다는 단점이 있다. 반사균열을 억제하기 위하여 줄눈부 보수, 응력 완화층 설치가 적용되는 경우가 있으나 반사균열의 진전 속도를 늦추는 제한적인 성공을 보여 왔다. 콘크리트포장 슬래브를 원위치에서 파쇄하여 기층재료로 활용하고 그 위에 덧씌우기 포장을 건설하는 러블라이제이션 공법은 기존 덧씌우기 보강 공법을 갖고 있는 반사균열 문제를 완벽하게 해결할 수 있는 장점을 가지고 있다. 러벌라이제이션 공법을 적용할 경우 파쇄된 노후 콘크리트 포장층 상부층은 40mm-70mm로 파쇄되나 하부층은 100mm이상 되는 경우가 일반적이다. 국내 고속도로와 같이 상대적으로 두꺼운 콘크리트 포장 슬래브를 사용하는 경우 전체 포장 두께를 파쇄하기에 어려움이 있다. 따라서 파쇄된 노후 콘크리트 포장층이 반사균열을 유발시키지 않는 도로기층으로써의 역활을 확보하기 위한 적정 파쇄 깊이를 파악하기 위하여 본 연구에서는 미국 DOT에서 제안한 일반적인 파쇄규격(40mm-70mm)을 기준으로 파쇄 깊이를 0cm, 10cm, 20cm,로 변화시켜가며 반사균열 실내 모사 실험을 수행하여 반사균열 저항 특성을 분석하고 적정파쇄 깊이를 검토하였다.
