동절기 절화장미의 양액재배 시 생장조절제 종류 및 처리농 도에 따른 생육변화에 대해 검토하였다. 장미 ‘수려(Suryeo)’ 품종을 이용하여 동절기 양액재배 시 생장조절제인 BA, CCC, Kinetin, 4-CPA, TDZ를 농도별로 처리하였다. 생장 조절제 중에 Kinetin, BA와 TDZ가 절화장미 ‘수려’ 품종 재 배생육에 영향을 주었다. Kinetin은 초장과 절화장이 길어지 고, 꽃잎수 및 상품수량이 증가하였으며, 처리농도에 따른 영 향이 비교적 안정적으로 나타났다. BA는 절화장 및 절화 수확 일수가 짧아지고 절화수량이 많아지며, 수확량 및 비상품화율 도 높아져 사용 시 주의가 필요하다. TDZ는 생육억제와 상품 수량이 감소하였으나, 그 외 CCC와 4-CPA처리시 영향은 크 지 않았다. ‘수려’와 같은 장미에 동절기 생장조절제 처리시 생육과 수량을 높이기 위해서는 Kinetin 처리가 효과적인 것 으로 보인다. 향후에도 동절기 절화장미 생산성 향상을 위해 서 더 많은 생장조절제 처리 및 농도에 대한 연구가 지속적으 로 이루어 져야 할 것으로 판단된다.

접목선인장은 수출 화훼류 중 중요한 부분을 차지하는 품목 으로 품종 육성과 재배 기술의 개발이 꾸준히 요구된다. 품종 육성은 접목선인장에서 적색 외에도 다양한 색상의 품종이 요 구되어 접목선인장의 품종 개발에 대한 요구를 충족하고자 밝 은 분홍색이 선명하고, 기호도가 좋은 ‘연실(YeonSil)’ 품종을 육성하였다. 접목선인장 ‘연실’은 국립원예특작과학원에서 구 의 색상이 흑·분홍색인 ‘0105057’계통을 모본으로 하고 같은 흑·분홍색인 ‘BP72’를 부본으로 교배하여 얻은 실생 품종(등 록번호 제 3920호)이다. ‘연실(YeonSil)’은 편원형으로 구색 은 분홍색(RP N66B)에 돌출된 결각(tubercle)이 있는 모양 으로 대조구 ‘연시’보다 높은 기호도를 가졌다. 재배 방법을 달리하여 육성된 ‘연실’ 품종을 토경과 양액재배(저면매트를 활용한 양액급액)방법으로 재배 후 생육 특성을 검토하였다. 접목선인장 재배방법에 따른 토양재배와 양액재배 방법 간 생 육에 다소 차이를 보였으며, 양액재배에서 우수한 경향을 보 였다. 생육 중 저면 매트를 활용한 양액재배가 토경재배보다 생체중, 구폭, 구고, 구중이 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 접목 선인장 재배에서 토양재배는 뿌리썩음병 등의 병 발생 문제가 심각하여 저면매트를 활용한 양액재배가 토양재배를 대신하 는 효율적인 방법으로 생각된다. 본 연구는 접목선인장에서 품종 개발과 함께 재배방법에 대한 일괄적인 연구가 필요한 것으로 판단된다.

An induction melting facility includes several work health and safety risks. To manage the work health and safety risks, care must be taken to identify reasonably foreseeable hazards that could give rise to risks to health and safety, to eliminate risks to health and safety so far as is reasonably practicable. If it is not reasonably practicable to eliminate risks to health and safety, attention have to be given to minimize those risks so far as is reasonably practicable by implementing risk control measures according to the hierarchy of control in regulation, to ensure the control measure is, and is maintained so that it remains, effective, and to review and as necessary revise control measures implemented to maintain, so far as is reasonably practicable, a work environment that is without risks to health or safety. The way to manage the risks associated with induction melting works is to identify hazards and find out what could cause harm from melting works, to assess risks if necessary – understand the nature of the harm that could be caused by the hazard, how serious the harm could be and the likelihood of it happening, to control risks – implement the most effective control measures that are reasonably practicable in the circumstances, and to review control measures to ensure they are working as planned.

The decommissioning of nuclear power plant (NPP) generates large amount of waste. Since the most of the concretes are slightly surface contaminated, the accurate characterization and regionspecific surface decontamination are important for the efficient waste management. After the effective surface decontamination and separation, most of the concrete waste from decommissioning of NPP can be classified as a clearance waste. Various surface characterization and decontamination technologies are suggested. The mechanical technologies are simple and offers direct application. The laser-based technologies offer efficient separation and surface contamination. The high price, however, hesitates the application of the process. The nitro-jet technology, which is based on the evaporation of liquid nitrogen, allows the effective decontamination. However, the high price and uncertainty of large are application hinders the practical application in NPP decommissioning. In this paper, various technologies for characterization, handling, treatment, etc., will be discussed. The advantages and disadvantages of the technologies will be discussed, in terms of practical applications.

For transport containers for radioactive wastes, a drop test should be performed at a height of 0.3– 1.2 m on a rigid target depending on the weight as a normal condition in the regulation. In the drop test, a strain gauge is commonly used to measure the local strain, and the position of the strain gauges is determined by the experiences of the engineer in advance of the test. For this reason, the strains can be measured at only predetermined points. The DIC (Digital Image Correlation) method using highspeed cameras can be used to measure the change in strain over the region of interest. In addition, it is possible to measure effectively even in areas with high strain gradients that are difficult to measure with strain gauges. Therefore, the DIC method can measure the strain change according to time over the entire load path. When the drop test of the transport container is performed, the impact load is delivered through the lower corner fittings-corner posts-upper corner fittings-lids. In this study, white spray was sprayed on these main load path, and black speckles were created on the spayed surface to trace the rigid motion of speckles. The images taken during the drop test can be used to create a strain field over region of interest.

In this study, a drop analysis of metallic disposal containers for radioactive wastes is performed according to accident scenarios at the disposal site. The weight of the disposal container is about 8 tons, and the ingot-type wastes are loaded in the disposal container. To simulate the floor of the disposal site as the impact target, the reinforced concrete pad is modeled. High impact energy of the disposal container due to their heavy weight and high drop height causes excessive deformation and failure of the concrete target having relatively weak strength. Dynamic growth of cracks due to such failures causes penetration and delamination of concrete. Since the impact force delivered to the container strongly depends on the failure of the concrete pad, it is important to properly simulate the failure of the concrete in the drop analysis. A material erosion method can be used to simulate the concrete failure. In the case of applying erosion based on the finite element method (FEM), the element is deleted when the element exceeds a certain criterion, which causes material and energy loss problem. To solve this problem, mesh-free methods such as smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) can be commonly used, but the mesh-free method has the disadvantage of incurring high numerical cost. Therefore, an adaptive method combining SPH and FEM-based SOLID elements is used for concrete target modeling to simulate excessive deformation and failure of the concrete target. In the adaptive coupling method of SPH and SOLID, the concrete target is first modeled as a solid element. When the damage of concrete exceeds the failure criterion, the solid element is eroded and the SPH element replacing the solid element is activated. Since the activated SPH element continues to participate in the impact, the problem of loss of materials and energy can be effectively solved. In this way, analysis results consistent with actual physical phenomena can be obtained.

This paper presents a strategic adoption model for blockchain technology in nuclear nonproliferation by analysing the implementation of legally binding agreements and leveraging results from governmentleading sectors. Blockchain has been emerging as not only a single promising technology but a foundational one which can be combined with diverse sectors. From the national point of view, it is imperative that the government formulates policy for fostering blockchain-related industries, thereby, gaining a competitive advantage at the national level. Accordingly, the Korean government has established the Blockchain Technology Development and Diffusion Strategies in 2018 and 2020, respectively, to verify the technology by supporting pilot projects for apposite industries, such as customs clearance, transhipment of containers, record-keeping of meat processing, and smart contracts. In addition, the strategies announce to support liaison with regulatory sandbox and cooperation between the projects. Internationally, on the other hand, nuclear nonproliferation imposes the duties of verifying that member states under the NPT and the Safeguards Agreement obey the IAEA mandate, “Atoms for Peace and Development”. Similarly, bilateral nuclear cooperation agreements and administrative arrangements specify reporting obligations for the origin and history records of the Trigger List items. Meanwhile, commercial and industrial secrets and other confidential information of any entities involved have to be securely protected. Provided accompanying activities accomplish the integrity of records and mutual transparency, it brings more credibility, and further, the competitiveness of the state’s nuclear industry. In conclusion, the tasks that the Republic of Korea implements as an exemplary country complying with the nuclear nonproliferation regime have many similarities with the pilot projects that have been or are being carried out under national strategies for fostering blockchain technology elsewhere. This implies that the leveraging of the subsets can derive a new competitive model in blockchain adoption that contributes to the competitiveness of the national nuclear industry due to the advanced nuclear regulations.

The bacterial soft-rot disease is one of the most critical diseases in vegetables such as Chinese cabbage. The researchers isolated two bacteria (Pseudomonas kribbensis and Pantoea vagans) from diseased tissue samples of Chinese cabbages and confirmed them as being the strains that cause soft-rot disease. Lactic-acid bacteria (LAB), were screened and used to control soft-rot disease bacteria. The researchers tested the treatments with hypochlorous acid water (HAW) and LAB supernatant to control soft-rot disease bacteria. The tests confirmed that treatments with the HAW (over 120 ppm) or LAB (Lactobacillus plantarum PL203) culture supernatants (0.5 mL) completely controlled both P. kribbensis and P. vagans.
