본 연구는 조경수목 유지 및 관리의 현실적인 어려움을 분석하고 그 대안을 제고하기 위하여 작성되었다. 이를 위해『조경공사 표준시방서』를 분석하였으며, 이를 각 조사 대상지의『전체공정표』와 『조경식재 공사 하자현황 및 처리방안』보고서를 분석한 내용과 비교하였다. 또한 전문가 인터뷰를 참고하였다. 첫 번째 문제는 수목 식재 적기를 고려하지 않는 시공일정으로 인한 부적기 식재이다. 두 번째는 배수 와 관수의 불량이다. 생육상태가 좋지 않은 수목에 적절하고 충분한 관수는 필수적임에도 불구하고 시공 이전 배수로 관리나 시공 이후 관수가 적절하게 이루어지고 있지 못하다는 문제가 있다. 세 번째 는 경제적, 시간적 문제로 발생하는 수목 식재의 변경과 재이식이다. 네 번째는 공사현장의 구조적 문 제로 발생하는 불충분한 식재기반 조성이다. 현장에서 수목 관리가 제대로 이루어진다면 하자율을 상당히 줄일 수 있다. 정부지침은 식재 수목에 관한 상세한 내용들을 담고 있으나 조경 시공사가 겪는 실질적인 어려움은 충분히 반영하고 있지 못하다. 식재의 반입 기준이나 자재관리, 식재시기, 토양관 리 등의 지침을 수행하기 위해서는 조경시공을 충분히 고려해야 하며, 시공기간을 충분히 제공받아 야 한다. 본 연구는 공사현장 및 공사과정의 현실적 이해를 더 높이고 정부의 지침과 현실적인 문제 사이의 간극을 밝혀내고자 하였다. 추후 정부 지침의 보완하여 조경 현장여건을 적극적으로 반영하 고 근본적인 문제를 해결할 수 있어야 할 것이다.

Western coastal area of Chungnam, including Cheonsu Bay and Garorim Bay, has suffered from hot and cold extremes. In this study, the extreme sea surface temperature on the western coast of Chungnam was analyzed using the quantile regression method, which extracts the linear regression values in all quantiles. The regional MOHID (MOdelo HIDrodinâmico) model, with a high resolution on a 1/60o grid, was constructed to reproduce the extreme sea surface temperature. For future prediction, the SSP5-8.5 scenario data of the CMIP6 model were used to simulate sea surface temperature variability. Results showed that the extreme sea surface temperature of Cheonsu Bay in August 2017 was successfully simulated, and this extreme sea surface temperature had a significant negative correlation with the Pacific decadal variability index. As a result of future climate prediction, it was found that an average of 2.9oC increased during the simulation period of 86 years in the Chungnam west coast and there was a seasonal difference (3.2oC in summer, 2.4oC in winter). These seasonal differences indicate an increase in the annual temperature range, suggesting that extreme events may occur more frequently in the future.

Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) is a scientific and systematic food hygiene management method that identifies and controls hazards to ensure food safety. South Korea has made the application of HACCP mandatory across all slaughterhouses to supply safe animal products and has further established and utilized a general HACCP model and standardized plan for mammal slaughterhouses. To investigate the current status of the preparation and application of HACCP plans in slaughterhouses in South Korea, surveys were conducted with HACCP teams at 30 slaughterhouses. The challenges faced were the preparation and application of HACCP plans, such as during preparation of justification documents for hazard analysis, re-evaluations, and changes in process or when adjusting and reinforcing corrective actions for repetitive deviations. Additional needs were found for the smooth application of HACCP, including the provision of standardized manuals for HACCP applications, an easily accessible platform for exchanging scientific information, provision of standardized templates, and unification of templates. Overall, challenges were particularly experienced during hazard analysis and verification processes in the preparation and application of HACCP plans. This study provides information on the current status of HACCP applications in domestic slaughterhouses and baseline data for effective HACCP application in slaughterhouses.

In this study, sustainable utilization plans were proposed by reviewing the current status and problems of water infrastructure, focusing on water supply and sewage system in Chungcheongnam-do. Due to the regional characteristics of the rural areas in Chungcheongnam-do which has a very low urbanization rate, there is a difference in the level of water welfare services between local governments. Compared to other governments, there are relatively many small water facilities, resulting in a service imbalance in terms of tap water safety. In addition, Chungcheongnam-do has a structure that is very vulnerable to water security to cope with climate change and drought due to its high dependence on wide-area water supply. Therefore, it should be considered in consideration of population reduction and local extinction due to low birth rate and aging population. Rural areas should clearly establish marginal areas for the supply of water and sewage, and implement regional customized water and sewage projects in consideration of local extinction. Water supply projects should be implemented in a distributed water supply method using various water sources. In order to respond to climate change and establish water security, a distributed water supply system should be established through a multi-source water loop system using various water sources. Sewage projects should be establish public sewage treatment facilities in consideration of the priorities of each local government, focusing on local governments with low sewage treatment population rates. In consideration of regional characteristics, it is necessary to consider the installation of private sewage treatment facilities or nature-friendly treatment facilities such as soil infiltration and artificial wetlands. An integrated management system using Internet of Things(IOT) or Information and Communications Technology(ICT) should be established and operated to improve the operation and management efficiency of small-scale water supply and sewage facilities.

21세기 한국 사회는 기존 형태와는 다른 양상이 나타나고 있다. ‘저출 산’ ‘고령화’로 인구가 줄어들고, ‘탈종교화’ 현상이 나타나고 있다. 세계 적인 경향으로 개신교와 가톨릭의 교세도 하락 추세를 보이고 있다. 종교인구 감소는 거역할 수 없는 흐름이 되었고, 종교의 미래는 불투 명하다. 한국불교는 신자와 출가자들이 줄어들고, 한국가톨릭도 비슷한 상황이다. 이제 종교는 새로운 활로를 모색해야 한다. 한국불교도 내부에 서 우려와 함께 대안 마련이 시급하다는 여론이 확산되고 있다. 불교 신자가 감소하는 원인 가운데 하나는 그동안 사회적 역할을 소홀 히 했기 때문이다. 외부의 영향을 고려하지 않을 수 없지만, 불교 내부의 문제 의식이 부족하고, 시대 흐름에 부응하는 포교 방식을 채택하지 못했 기 때문이다. 따라서 현재 직면한 상황은 불교의 사회적 역할을 강화할 때 돌파구를 찾을 수 있다. 교단 차원에서 구체적이고 현실적인 방안을 수립해야 한 다. 1회성 구호나 보여주기에 그치는 것이 아니라, 현실을 엄밀하게 진단 하고 단기, 중기, 장기로 나눠 대책을 만들어야 한다. 젊은 세대 포교와 더불어 노인 및 수도권 포교도 강화해야 한다. 이와 함께 종단과 사찰의 운영 방안의 변화도 깊게 고민해야 한다. 신심 깊고 종단 차원의 교육 받은 신자를 양성해 스님들을 보좌하도록 하는 방안도 모색해야 한다.

Molten salts have gained significant attention as a potential medium for heat transfer or energy storage and as liquid nuclear fuel, owing to their superior thermal properties. Various fluoride- and chloride-based salts are being explored as potential liquid fuels for several types of molten salt reactors (MSRs). Among these, chloride-based salts have recently received attention in MSR development due to their high solubility in actinides, which has the potential to increase fuel burnup and reduce nuclear water production. Accurate knowledge of the thermal physical properties of molten salts, such as density, viscosity, thermal conductivity, and heat capacity, is critical for the design, licensing, and operation of MSRs. Various experimental techniques have been used to determine the thermal properties of molten salts, and more recently, computational methods such as molecular dynamics simulations have also been utilized to predict these properties. However, information on the thermal physical properties of salts containing actinides is still limited and unreliable. In this study, we analyzed the available thermal physical property database of chloride salts to develop accurate models and simulations that can predict the behavior of molten salts under various operating conditions. Furthermore, we conducted experiments to improve our understanding of the behavior of molten salts. The results of this study are expected to contribute to the development of safer and more efficient MSRs.

The 2007 Recommendation of the International Commission on Radiological Protection recommended the application of dose constraints to optimize radiation protection to resolve the inequity of exposure among radiation workers. The average annual occupational doses in Korean nuclear power plants (NPPs) are 0.3-0.8 mSv. These doses are much lower than the annual effective dose limit of 50 mSv for radiation workers stipulated by the Nuclear Safety Act. In addition, most NPP workers received less than 0.1 mSv per year. These doses are lower than the average annual occupational doses of 0.3- 0.8 mSv. Korean regulatory body conducted the study to legislate the dose constraints in the Korean regulatory system and determine dose constraints (draft) for radiation workers. The legislation of dose constraints would not greatly affect the radiation protection programs in Korean NPPs because most workers received very low doses. However, some workers received relatively higher doses than others. This study analyzed the occupational exposure conditions, such as exposure type and situation, in Korean NPPs. This study investigated the internal and external radiation doses and the radiation doses depending on the NPP operating conditions, including normal operation, planned maintenance, and intermediate maintenance, for the last ten years (2012-2021). As a result, most NPP workers received external exposure rather than internal exposure. Furthermore, most radiation exposures occurred during the planned maintenance period. The results of this study can be used for optimizing occupational doses in Korean NPPs.

The intermediate level spent resins waste generated from water purification for the the moderator and primary heat transport system during operaioin of heavy water reactor (HWR). Especially, moderator resins contain high level activity largely because of their C-14 content. So spent resins are considered as a problematirc solid waste and require special treatment to meet the waste acceptance criteria for a disposal site. Various methods have been studied for the treatment of spent resins which include thermal, destructive, and stripping methods. In the case of solidification methods, cement, bitument or organic polymers were suggested. In the 1990s, acid stripping using nitric acid and thermal treatment methods were actively investigated in Canada to remove C-14 nuclide from waste resin. In Japan, thermal distructive method was studied in the 1990s. Since 2005, KAERI developed acid stripping method using phosphate salt. However, acid stripping method are not suitable due to large amounts of 2nd waste containing acid solution with various nuclides. To solve this probelm, KAERI has been suggested the microwave treatment method for C-14 selective removal from waste resin in the 2010s. Pilot scale demonstration tests using radioactive waste resin generated from Wolsung unit 1 and unit 2 were successfully conducted and 95% of C-14 was selectively removed from the radioactive waste resin. In recent years, price of C-14 source is dramatically increased due to market growth of C-14 utilization and exclusive supply chain depending on China and Russia. High purity of C-14 were captured in HWR waste resin. Interest of C-14 recovery research from HWR waste resin is currently increased in Canada. In this study, microwave method is suggested to treat HWR waste resin with C-14 recovery process. Additionally, status of waste resin management and research trends of HWR waste resin treatment are introduced.

Given the limited terrestrial reserves of uranium (about 4.6 million tons), exploring alternative resources is essential to ensure the long-term supply and sustainability of nuclear energy. Uranium extraction from seawater (UES) is a potential solution to this issue since the amount of uranium dissolved in seawater (about 4.5 billion tons) is approximately 1000 times that of terrestrial reserves. However, the ultra-low concentration of uranium in seawater (about 3.3 ppb) makes it a challenging task to make UES economically feasible. This paper provides an overview of the current status of UES technology, which has evolved over the past seven decades. Starting from inorganic adsorbents such as hydrous titanium oxide in the 1960s, amidoxime-based fibrous adsorbents gained the most attention until the early 2010s due to their ease of deployment in actual seawater conditions and high affinity for uranium. Nowadays, research on organic adsorbents with microstructures is prevailing due to their ability to easily control surface area and compositions. In addition, this study identifies the key issues that need to be addressed to make UES technology economically viable.

본 논문은 기업뿐만 아니라 국가 차원의 지속가능성을 개념으로 하는 일본의 ESG 채권에 관한 제도 및 운영사항을 살펴보고 한국 지자체에서 발행하는 ESG 채권 운영과 제도 활성화에 관한 시사점을 얻는 것을 연구목적으로 한다. 향후 지자체에 의한 ESG 채권 발행은 시장 규모가 확대됨에 따라 용도와 계획이 증가될 것으로 예상된다. 이러한 상황에서 ESG 채권 시장의 건전한 발전을 위해서는 환경 및 사회 개선 효과의 신뢰성을 확보하고 발행자의 비용 및 행정 부담을 줄여야 할 것이다. 본 연구는 ESG 투자의 활성화 를 위한 제도 설계와 정책 수립, 기관의 설립, ESG 투자 방법, 임팩트 평가 기법을 확립하고 보급해야 함을 강조한다. 또한 정부와 지자체의 ESG 투자와 관련 이해관계자 간 연결 강화와 커뮤니티 형성 촉진 노력을 제언한다.

Several countries have been operating radioactive waste disposal (RWD) programs to construct their own repositories and have used natural analogues (NA) studies directly or indirectly to ensure the reliability of the long-term safety of deep geological disposal (DGD) systems. A DGD system in Korea has been under development, and for this purpose a generic NA study is necessary. The Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute has just launched the first national NA R&D program in Korea to identify the role of NA studies and to support the safety case in the RWD program. In this article, we review some cases of NA studies carried out in advanced countries considering crystalline rocks as candidate host rocks for high-level radioactive waste disposal. We examine the differences among these case studies and their roles in reflecting each country’s disposal repository design. The legal basis and roadmap for NA studies in each country are also described. However because the results of this analysis depend upon different environmental conditions, they can be only used as important data for establishing various research strategies to strengthen the NA study environment for domestic disposal system research in Korea.

South Korea, one of the representative countries known for consuming dog meat, is experiencing a gradual decline in its consumption, and it is expected to be eradicated soon as there is no influx of new consumers. However, the cultural aspect of dog meat consumption is strong as it is deeply rooted in social traditions, and there is inadequate agreement on banning it legally. This article examines the laws related to dog meat and how it is currently managed. It also scrutinizes the animal welfare and food safety aspects of the process of dog meat breeding and distribution. The current legal management system for dog meat is inadequate, which poses risks in terms of food safety. In addition, the dogs used for food consumption are exposed to coarse environments from an animal welfare perspective. Until dog meat consumption is naturally eradicated, establishing a temporary hygiene management system to ensure food safety and improve animal welfare could be one solution.

Colloid Formation and Migration (CFM) project is being carried out within the Grimsel Test Site (GTS) Phase Ⅵ. Since 2008, the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI) has joined CFM to investigate the behavior of colloid-facilitated radionuclide transport in a generic Underground Research Laboratory (URL). The CFM project includes a long-term in-situ test (LIT) and an in-rock bentonite erosion test (i-BET) to assess the in-situ colloid-facilitated radionuclide transport through the bentonite erosion in the natural flow field. In the LIT experiment, radionuclide-containing compacted bentonite was equipped with a triple-packer system and then positioned at the borehole in the shear zone. It was observed that colloid transport was limited owing to the low swelling pressure and low hydraulic conductivity. Therefore, a postmortem analysis is being conducted to estimate the partial migration and diffusion of radionuclides. The i-BET experiment, that focuses more on bentonite erosion, was newly designed to assess colloid formation in another flow field. The i-BET experiment started with the placement of compacted bentonite rings in the double-packer system, and the hydraulic parameters and bentonite erosion have been monitored since December 2018.

대륙이동설로부터 시작되었고 이후 고지자기 및 해저퇴적물 등의 증거들에 의한 해저확장설을 통하여 정립된 판 구조론은, 지각의 운동을 몇 개의 강체 판들이 비록 느리지만 수억 년 이상의 긴 시간 동안 꾸준히 일어나는 움직임으로 서 설명하였다. 초기에는 지각판의 속도를 주로 수백만 년 동안의 고지자기 역전의 잔류 기록에 의거하여 판들 간의 상 대적 운동으로 추산하였는데, 1980년대 이후에는 우주측지 기법들을 이용하여 현재 시점의 판운동을 직접적으로 조사할 수 있게 되었고, 일부 지역에서 판의 변형이 일어나는 것도 확인하게 되었다. 본 해설에서는 (1) 초기의 상대적인 판운동 을 나타내는 모델들을 돌아보고, (2) 무회전 좌표계의 이론과 절대판운동 모델들을 요약-기술하며, (3) 판내부의 변형을 포함하는 최근의 모델을 소개하는 한편, (4) 국제 지구 기준계에 채택된 판운동 모델을 간략히 기술하였고, 끝으로 (5) 근 래에 보고된 남미, 남극, 유럽 등 몇 지역과 (6) 한반도 및 동북아의 지각판 움직임 연구를 각각 소개하였다.
