Here were continue the MHD study started by Santillan et al (1999) for the interaction of high-velocity clouds (HVCs) with the magnetized thick gaseous disk of our Galaxy. We use the MHD code ZEUS-3D and perform 3D-numerical simulations of this interaction, and study the formation of head-tail structures in HVCs. Our results show that clouds located above 2 kpc from mindplane present velocity and column density gradients with a cometary structure that is similar to those observed in 21 cm emission

As nuclear decommissioning ventures become increasingly complex, the role of digitalization in facilitating and enhancing these operations is becoming indispensable. This transition to a more digitized approach presents a myriad of advantages, including: augmented avenues for data acquisition, analysis, and visualization to bolster dismantling strategies; simulations in virtual environments for operator training; precise forecasting of future waste emergence, culminating in refined cost estimations; and more immersive decommissioning visualizations for both operators and external stakeholders. Salient benefits conferred by the integration of digital technologies in decommissioning encompass improved collaboration, enriched knowledge transfer, clarity regarding present technological constraints, insights into key influencing factors, clearer criteria for technology selection, and a profound understanding of the potential challenges and merits of a broader incorporation of digital tools in decommissioning endeavors. Of paramount importance is the opportunity presented for superior workforce training and safety measures, exemplified by ALARAbased planning. Amidst the myriad facets of digital adoption, 3D modeling of nuclear facilities derived from laser-scanned point clouds stands out as a pivotal domain in the digitalization. The transformation of intricate point cloud data into a comprehensible 3D mesh remains the crux of this paper. The process of mesh generation, despite being simpler than its counterpart of converting to a 3D solid model, is crucial for multiple reasons. The resultant 3D mesh offers an enhanced visual representation compared to a sparse point cloud, paving the way for improved spatial perception. Furthermore, it serves as a rudimentary tool for approximating component volumes and the ensuing waste, thereby playing an instrumental role in waste manipulation strategies, notably in collision detection. This paper delves deep into the nuances of mesh generation, conducting an parametric study of mesh conversion algorithms, including down-sampling rates. Through this rigorous examination, we endeavor to shed light on optimal methodologies, hoping to catalyze advancements in the digitalization of nuclear decommissioning processes.

A person who performs or plans to conduct a physical protection inspection as stipulated by the law, the act on physical protection and radiological emergency, should obtain an inspector’s ID card certified and authorized by Nuclear Safety and Security Commission Order No.137 (referred to as Order 137). In addition, according to Order 137, KINAC has been operating some training courses for those with the inspector’s ID card or intending to acquire it. Also, strenuous efforts have been put to incrementally elevate their inspection related expertise. Since Republic of Korea has to import uranium enriched less than 20% in order to manufacture fuels of nuclear reactors in domestic and abroad, the physical protection for categorization III nuclear material in transit is significantly important along with an increase in transport. The expertise of inspectors should be constantly needed to strengthen as the increase in transport leads to an increase in inspection of nuclear material in transit. We have suggested a special way to improve the inspector’s capacities through Virtual Reality technology (VR). A 3-Dimensional virtual space was designed and developed using a 3-axis simulator and VR equipment for practical training. HP’s Reverb G2 product, which was developed in collaboration with VALVE Corporation and MicroSoft, was used as VR equipment, and the 3-axis motion simulator was developed by M-line STUDIO corp. in Korea for the purpose of realizing virtual reality. The training scenarios of transport inspection consist of three parts: preparation at the shipping point, transport in route including stops and handover at the receiving point. At the departure point, scenario of the transport preparation is composed with the contents of checking the transport-related documents which should be carried by shipper and/or carrier during transport and confirming who the shipper and/or carrier is. Second, scenario is designed for inspector to experience how carrier and/or shipper protect the nuclear material during transport or stops for rests or contingency and how they communicate with each other during transport. Lastly, scenario is developed focusing on key check items during handover of responsibilities to the facility operator at the destination. Those training scenarios can be adopted to strengthen the capabilities of those with inspector’s ID card of physical protection in accordance with Order 137 and to help new inspectors acquire inspectionrelated expertise. In addition, they can be used for domestic education to promote understanding of nuclear security, or may be used for education for people overseas for the purpose of export of nuclear facilities.
