This study aims to objectively measure the efficiency of nanotechnology R&D programs by systematically evaluating the inputs and outputs of nanotechnology R&D activities and to find implications for improving the efficiency of nanotechnology R&D programs. Data on input factors such as R&D investment, R&D manpower, R&D period, and output factors such as paper, patent, and commercialization for R&D projects which started from 2008 or afterwards and ended by 2011 are gathered through National Science and Technology Knowledge Information Service, which are used for efficiency evaluation. In this study, we analyzed R&D efficiency in detailed technology units in depth. The process taken in this study is as follows. First, the basic statistics of input and output factors to compare and analyze R&D investment, R&D manpower, R&D period, paper, patent, and commercialization status by technology unit are analyzed. Next, DEA models are utilized to derive the overall efficiency, pure technology efficiency, and scale efficiency by conducting the efficiency evaluation for each technology unit, from which implications for strategic budget allocation are derived. In addition, partial efficiency evaluation is conducted to identify advantages and disadvantages of each technology unit. In turn, cluster analysis is performed to identify similar technology units, from which implications for efficiency improvement are derived.

초 록 유리화공정 고온영역에서의 방사성 배기체 유동해석을 해석하기 위하여 상용 수치해석 범용 툴인 FLUENT를 이용하여 적용성을 검토하여 보았다. 수치해석을 통하여 유리화공정 원형설비에 영향을 미치는 인자를 파악하였는데, 저온용응로, 배관냉각기 및 고온필터 등의 세 단계로 나누어 해석을 수행하였다. 저온용융로의 경우 폐기물 처리용량에 따른 해석과 저온용융로 내부 과잉산소 공급 비에 따른 연소지연 가능성에 대한 수치해석을 수행하였다. 배관냉각기의 경우에는 각종 수치 모델 및 외벽 열전달계수를 확보하였으며 또한 방사성 핵종의 거동을 모사할 수 있는 수치적 기업을 검토하였다. 이러한 방법론을 적용하여 핵종의 열교환기 내부에서의 응고 특성에 대하여 고찰하였다. 수평 유입형식의 인입관이 있는 일반적인 형상과 유입구가 필터 내부에 수직으로 있는 고온필터의 수치해석을 통하여 인입관의 위치에 따른 고온필터의 작동 특성을 비교하였다. Appropriate numerical models for the simulation of off-gas flow in hot area of the vitrification plant have been developed in this study. The models have been applied to analyze the effect of design parameters of real plant and numerical analyses have been performed for CCM(Cold Crucible Melter), pipe cooler and HTF(High Temperature Filter). At first, the effect of excess oxygen and the ratio of oxygen distribution on combustion characteristics in the CCM has been studied. Next, solidification behavior of radio nuclide in the pipe cooler has been numerically modeled and scrutinized. Finally, flow pattern in accordance with the location of off-gas entrance of the HTF has been compared.

Ultrasonic-milling of metal oxide nanopowders for the preparation of tungsten heavy alloys was investigated. Milling time was selected as a process variable. XRD results of metal oxide nanopowders ultrasonic-milled for 50 and 100h showed that mean crystallite size reduced with increasing milling time and there was no evidence of contamination or change of composition by impurities. It was found that nanocomposite powders reduced at in atmosphere had a composition of 93.1W-4.9Ni-2.0Fe by EDX analysis. Hardness of sintered samples of 50 and 100h was 390 and 463 Hv, respectively, which corresponds to the hardness of commercial products.

A ball-shape alumina arc-tube for low-wattage lamp was developed by the PIM process. An ultra high purity translucentgrade alumina powder was used. In injection molding process, a hot-runner type mold was developed. The translucent-grade alumina powder was extremely sensitive to contamination so that the injection molding condition and atmosphere control in the furnace should be taken care of with extreme caution. Contamination sources were pinpointed with EPMA. The arc-tube was molded in half and two halves were bonded in the middle by a new bonding technique at room temperature developed in this study.

파일럿 규모의 유리화플랜트에서 일련의 시험을 통해 고온 세라믹 캔들 필터 시스템의 주요 운전 변수 및 성능을 평가하였다. 실증 시험결과 매 시험초기에는 필터 표면 먼지층(Dust cake)의 생성으로 인해 필터 매질에 걸리는 차압이 급격히 상승하였다. 그런 다음 차압은 곧 일정한 범위에서 안정되었고, 표면유속(Face velocity)에 비례하여 계속적으로 변화하였다. 이와 반대로, 필터 투과율(Permeability)은 매시험 초기에 급격히 감소하였다. 필터표면 먼지의 역세정은 공기압 3～5 bar범위 일때 효율적이었다. 필터 입구 및 출구에서 동시에 등속으로 채취한 먼지농도를 바탕으로 필터의 먼지 포집율(Dust collection efficiency)을 평가한 결과 필터 성능은 설계값인 99.9%과 같은 것으로 나타났다. 100시간의 장기시험을 포함한 일련의 실증시험을 수행하는 동안 고온 필터 시스템의 성능에 영향을 주는 특별한 문제점은 발견되지 않았다.

본 연구에서는 고온의 LiCl-LlO 용융염계에서 우라늄 산화물의 금속전환과 LiO의 전해반응이 동시에 진행되는 통합 반응 메카니즘을 기초로 한 전기화학적 금속전환기술을 제안하였다. 본 실험에서는 전기화학적 환원반응에 의해 생성된 Li 금속이온이 음극에 전착과 동시에 우라늄 산화물과 반응하여 금속전환율 99 % 이상의 우라늄 감속을 생성하는 통합 반응 메카니즘을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 전기화학적 금속전환기술의 공정 적용성 평가 일환으로 우라늄 산화물의 금속전환성, 반응 메카니즘 규명, LiO의 closed recycle rate 및 물질전달 특성 등의 기초 데이터를 확보하였다 향후 전기화학적 금속전환기술은 LiCl-Li 용융염계의 금속전환공정의 반응조건 제한성 해소, 금속전환율 향상 및 공정의 단순화 등의 기술성과 경제성 향상 측면에서 획기적인 방안으로 고려될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Recently it was known that the problems of nearshore processes and damage of berth and counter facilities frequently had appeared at the small fishery port, such as Daebang near Samcheonpo city, Korea. Here we try to analyze the impact of the rearrangement of counter facilities and berth layout adopted for tranquility of its inner harbor. Because this harbor is being connected to Daebang channel, the rearrangement of the structures might affect to the current speed and direction and wave height, so do to the sea bottom undulation. Therefore, we made model test for the several layouts of the berth and breakwater in this area. Numerical model result shows that the bottom was eroded by 1m by tidal currents and the speed of flow did not shrink, even after the construction work was completed. The direction of the sand movement was downdrift. Although the model study gave reasonable description of beach processes and approach channel sedimentation mechanism, it is necessary to compare with the field history, including the records of waves, tides and bottom materials, etc. for better prediction.

When we consider to develop a new harbor, the most important factor, we think, is the lowest water depth of waterway and approaching channel for safe navigation of vessel. The existing harbors have been being dredged to meet the international trend of jumbo sized vessels by adopting the new design criteria. As the dredged materials over the expected at the design level were common and there are still lack of land based reclamation area, we have no choice to discharge the dredged materials in open sea area In this study, we analysed the behavior of discharged materials at the dumping area of offshore, which were collected from the dredging work at the waterway in Busan New Port. We measured the tidal currents and analyzed the waters of dumping site after the dumping work. These were used to evaluate the numerical models. Suspended Solids(SS) were introduced to the diffusion model. Because of the characteristic of the dumping site, the speed of initial diffusion and settle down of the discharged materials was so fast. Therefore, we believe that the dumped materials do not cause a significant impact to the marine environment.
