In the case of nuclear projects, when developing a new reactor type, it is necessary to confirm the reactor type, secure the safety, and especially obtain the construction permit approval of the licensing authority for construction. Schedule management is necessary to carry out nuclear projects, and progress rate management of project progress management is largely composed of three elements: scope management, cost management, and resource management. However, in the case of the small modular reactor (SMR) project currently being carried out, it is difficult to calculate the progress rate including budget and resources due to the nature of the project. Therefore, in the SMR project, it took two years from the beginning to prepare the integrated project master schedule (IPMS) to prepare the draft, and then two revisions were made over a year and a half. In this SMR project, we will consider the entire construction period such as design, purchase and production, construction, commissioning, and operation in terms of scope management. The entire document list was created using the document review and approval sheet created at the beginning of the design. In the PMIS (Project Management Information System), the number of approved documents was calculated by comparing the list of engineering documents. In the purchase production part, the main core equipment such as the primary system nuclear steam supply system (NSSS), the secondary system turbine and condenser, and the man machine interface system (MMIS) are managed. Purchasing and manufacturing management shall be managed so that major equipment can be delivered in a timely manner in accordance with the schedule for delivery of equipment in the IPMS. In order to prevent delays in the start of production, it is necessary to minimize the waiting time for work through advance management tasks such as insurance of drawing, stocking of materials, availability of production facilities, etc. In this way, we decided to carry out the schedule management for the design, purchase and manufacturing part in the SMR project first, and the installation, construction and commissioning part will be prepared for the future schedule management.

Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) is currently the most commonly used microbial pesticide. In the previous study, Bt IMBL-B9 known for its high toxicity against Spodoptera exigua, S. frugiperda and Plutella xylostella was characterized. To develop novel biopesticide, optimization of culture medium is required for the cost-effective mass production for toxin production of IMBL-B9. Through experimental design by Plackett-Burman design, ingredients that significantly influenced the production of IMBL-B9's toxin were selected. Using these results, the novel culture medium for IMBL-B9 was developed and the toxin yield of IMBL-B9 was significantly increased than conventional media by using this medium. These results could be useful for the development of biopesticides.

The beet armyworm, Spodoptera exigua, is one of the worldwide distributed agricultural pest insects and has been known to show high resistance to conventional chemical insecticides. Since it has been reported that secondary metabolites from actinomycetes show insecticidal activities against various insect pests, actinomycetes could be a potential source of insecticidal compounds. In this study, culture extracts of Streptomyces strains were tested for their insecticidal activity against Spodoptera exigua. Among them, culture extracts of IMBL-0003 strain which was identified as Streptomyces celluloflavus showed a high insecticidal activity (more than 90% mortality). These results suggested that secondary metabolites of this isolate could have potentials to be a efficient eco-friendly pesticide for controling Spodoptera exigua.

In the event of a radioactive release, it is essential to quickly detect and locate the source of the release, as well as track the movement of the plume to assess the potential impact on public health and safety. Fixed monitoring posts are limited in their ability to provide a complete picture of the radiation distribution, and the information they provide may not be available in real-time. This is why other types of monitoring systems, such as mobile monitoring, aerial monitoring, and personal dosimeters, are also used in emergency situations to complement the information provided by fixed monitoring posts. Also, the monitoring system can be improved by using the Kriging technique, which is one of the interpolation methods, to predict the radiation dose in the relevant districts. This can be achieved by utilizing both the GPS information and the radiation dose measured at a particular point. The Kriging method involves estimating the value between different measurement points by considering the distance between them. The model used GPS and radiation data that were measured around the Hanbit NPP. The data were collected using a radiation measuring detector on a bus that traveled around the NPP area at 2-second intervals for one day. From the collected data, 200 data points were randomly selected for analysis, excluding the data measured at the bus garage out of a total of 16,550 data points. The average dose of the daily measurement data was 117.94 nSv/h, and the average dose of the 200 randomly extracted data was 119.17 nSv/h. The GPS and radiation dose data were utilized to predict the radiation dose around the Yeonggwang area where the Hanbit NPP is located. In the event of an abnormal release of radioactive material, it can be difficult to accurately determine the dose unless a monitoring measurement point is present. This can delay the rapid evacuation of residents during an emergency situation. By utilizing the Kriging model to make predictions, it is anticipated that more accurate dose predictions can be generated, particularly during accident scenarios. This can aid in the development of appropriate resident protection measures.

본 연구는 국내 플라워숍에서 절화의 판매가격표시제도를 활용하는 것에 대한 소비자와 판매자의 인식 및 만족도를 알 아보고 국내 화훼시장에서의 효과적인 판매가격표시제도의 활용방안을 모색하고자 국내 소비자 237명, 판매자 32명을 대상으로 설문을 진행하였다. 소비자와 판매자 모두 절화의 가격이 절화 상품의 포장법과 함께 가장 높은 구매 결정 요인 으로 나타났다. 플라워숍의 절화 판매가격표시제도 활용 장점 에 대해 소비자가 판매자보다 높게 인식하고 있었으며, 소비 자와 판매자 모두 판매가격표시제도를 활용함으로써 소비자 의 합리적인 절화 소비 및 절화 가격 신뢰에 가장 큰 도움을 준다고 응답하였다. 소비자는 절화 판매가격표시제도에 대한 불편한 점이 모두 보통(3.00) 이하로 나온 것에 비해, 판매자 의 경우 매번 바뀌는 가격(4.25) 및 가격 표기 기준의 애매함 (3.78), 가격 표기의 번거로움(3.69)을 불편한 요인으로 인식 하였다. 효과적인 판매가격표시제도 방법에 대한 설문에서 소 비자는 한 송이, 한 단 보다는 3~4줄기의 한 묶음씩 판매를 선호하였고, 판매자는 판매 단위에 따른 선호 차이가 없었다. 가격 표시 방법에는 소비자와 판매자 모두 화병에 가격을 표 시하는 것을 가장 선호하였다. 전반적인 절화 판매가격표시제 도에 대하여 소비자들은 판매자들이 기대하는 이상으로 만족 도가 높았으며(P<0.001), 특히 절화 품질(3.75)보다도 절화 가격(3.97)에 대한 만족도가 더 높아지는 것으로 나타났다. 이 를 통해, 절화 판매가격표시제도가 활성화된다면 소비자들의 절화 가격에 대한 신뢰도와 만족도를 높여줄 것이며 국내 화 훼산업 활성화에 도움이 될 것으로 판단한다.

Republic of Korea (ROK) is operating the Integrated Environmental Radiation Monitoring Network (IERNet) in preparation for a radioactive emergency based on Article 105 of the Nuclear Safety Act (Monitoring of Nationwide Radioactive Environment). 215 radiation monitoring posts are monitoring a wide area, but their location is fixed, so they can’t cover areas where the post is not equipped around the Nuclear Power Plants (NPPs). For this, a mobile radiation monitoring system was developed using a drone or vehicle. However, there are disadvantages: it is performed only at a specific cycle, and an additional workforce is required. In this study, a radiation monitoring system using public transportation was developed to solve the above problems. Considering the range of dose rates from environmental radiation to high radiation doses in accidents, the detector was designed by combining NaI (TI) (in the low-dose area) and GM detector (in the high-dose area). Field test was conducted by installed on a city bus operated by Yeonggwang-gun to confirm the performance of the radiation monitoring system. As a result of the field test, it was confirmed that data is transmitted from the module to the server program in both directions. Based on this study, it will be possible to improve the radiation monitoring capability near nuclear facilities.
