Radioactive waste generated in various forms needs to be technically stabilized for safe treatment, disposal, and long-term safety. Overseas, research on vitrification with excellent mechanical and physicochemical properties of high-level waste is being actively conducted. Vitrification is a process of converting radioactive waste into a stable and durable glass-like material, which is then safe storage and disposal. The stability of vitrified form is an important concern for environment safety, as any leakage or release of radionuclide could have serious consequences for health and the environment. Therefore, several studies are being conducted on the disposal stability of vitrification of radioactive waste. In order to evaluate the stability of the solidified form, mechanical properties such as density, microhardness, and compressive strength and chemical durability such as leaching properties should be performed. There are several types of leaching test methods to evaluate the chemical durability, which is important in the characterization of solidified forms. In this study, the leaching test method for chemical durability evaluation and the evaluation results of leaching characteristics according to pH were reviewed.

In this study, we performed thermal safety design of the electric module of a heat-loaded equipment with consideration of its heat dissipation performance. Initially, we calculated the heat dissipation of natural convection to choose a cooling method. Based on this, we found that some modules required forced convection and selected an air-cooling method with an outdoor temperature of 43 degrees Celsius, which is the maximum temperature in Korea. Prior to module production, we performed thermal analysis of each module and proceeded with a design to increase the thermal conductivity of the module as a primary step, and subsequently proceeded with Heat Sink design to maximize the heat dissipation performance. After considering various constraints according to the system requirements and designing the cooling path, we experimentally and analytically secured thermal safety at the operating temperature of the equipment.

세계적 선박 배출가스 저감에 대한 규제로 인해 항만 및 부두에서 육상전원공급장치(AMP, Alternative Marine Power)가 지속 적으로 사용되고 있다. 국내 또한 항만 대기질 개선 특별법에 따라 AMP의 사용이 의무화되고 있고, 다양한 친환경선박과 연계하여 활 용하도록 지속적인 시도를 하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 AMP를 통해 선내 전력을 공급하는 상황을 모델링 하여 AC Load Flow Analysis를 수행하였다. 이를 통해 선박에 전력이 공급될 때의 전기적 파라미터와 손실 등에 대해서 분석할 수 있다. 아울러 Transient Stability Analysis를 통해 계통의 사고 발생 시 선내 발전기를 통한 무정전전환에 대한 HSGT(High Speed Generation Transfer)의 한계값을 도출하고 이를 적용하였을 경우 결과에 대해 검토하였다.

The present study investigated the effects of forage cutting and baler mixing on the chemical compositions, fermentation indices, and aerobic stability of whole crop rice (WCR) haylage. The WCR (“Youngwoo”) was harvested at 48.4% dry matter and ensiled into a 300 kg bale silo with forage cutting (whole crop without cutting vs. 5 cm of cutting length). The WCR forages were ensiled without baler mixing process (CON) or with (MIX). The concentrations of dry matter, crude protein, ether extract, crude ash, neutral detergent fiber, and acid detergent fiber of whole crop rice before ensiling were 48.4, 9.70, 2.57, 6.11, 41.2, and 23.5%, respectively. The forage cutting did not affect the chemical compositions, fermentation indices, microbes, and aerobic stability of WCR haylage (p>0.05). The CON haylages tend to be higher in NDF content (p<0.10). The MIX haylages had lower in lactate (p=0.019), and lactate:acetate ratio (p<0.001). The MIX haylages had higher in lactic acid bacteria (LAB) (p=0.010). Therefore, this study concluded that the fermentation quality of WCR haylage improved by baler mixing, but had no effects by forage cutting.

In this study, the stability of fishing boat inducing the change of fishing lamp in accordance with the installation of induction lamp in comparison with metal halide lamp was investigated. Inclining test for 8.55 ton class of hair-tail angling fishing boat was performed in order to find a GM and light weight. A stability calculation of the target fishing boat on the basis of KST-SHIP program was evaluated. The stability of the fishing boat with a metal halide lamp such as induction lamp according to the result obtained by the inclining test is slightly different, and the stability is not so much affected. Due to the induction lamp installation, the wind area increased by about 3.178 m 2 . Before installing the induction fishing lamp, G0M was found to be 0.209 at full load departure and 0.296 at departure from fishing ground. After installing the induction lamp, the full load departure condition is 0.178 and the fishing ground departure condition is 0.260. The G0M value before and after installation of the induction fishing lamp shows a difference of about 3% at the full load departure condition. The value of the critical angle of inclination definition showed a difference of about 16%. Despite these differences, it is lower than the regulations; it was confirmed that there will be no significant difference unless it is in an overloaded state.

We investigate the austenite stability in nanocrystalline Fe-7%Mn-X%Mo (X = 0, 1, and 2) alloys fabricated by spark plasma sintering. Mo is known as a ferrite stabilizing element, whereas Mn is an austenite stabilizing element, and many studies have focused on the effect of Mn addition on austenite stability. Herein, the volume fraction of austenite in nanocrystalline Fe-7%Mn alloys with different Mo contents is measured using X-ray diffraction. Using a disk compressive test, austenite in Fe–Mn–Mo alloys is confirmed to transform into strain-induced martensite during plastic deformation by a disk d. The variation in austenite stability in response to the addition of Mo is quantitatively evaluated by comparing the k-parameters of the kinetic equation for the strain-induced martensite transformation.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the antioxidant activities, quality characteristics, and storage stability of perilla oil mayonnaise (PM) with different levels of onion powder (OP) from 0 to 3%. As the amount of OP increased, the L, a, and b values increased, but pH decreased (p<0.05). The addition of OP raised viscosity (p<0.05). The addition of OP to PM proportionally increased the total phenolic content, and antioxidant activities as measured by DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activity, and FRAP assay. When compared to PM without OP, PM that contained OP had a peroxide value that was almost 1.94 times lower. The emulsion stability was between 97.62 to 94.92% in the PM without OP and PM with OP groups was 99.60% for 12 weeks. This study showed that the inclusion of OP in PM has the potential to inprove its quality, antioxidant activities, and storage stability.
