The initial radionuclide migration quantity depends on the total amount of solubilized species. Geochemical modeling based on a thermodynamic database (TDB) has been employed to assess the solubility of radionuclides. It is necessary to evaluate whether the TDB describes the domestic repository conditions appropriately. An effective way to validate the TDB-based modeling results is through direct comparisons with experimentally measured values under the conditions of interest. Here, the solubilities of trivalent Sm, Eu, and Am were measured in synthetic KURT-DB3 groundwater (Syn- DB3) and compared with modeling results based on ThermoChimie TDB. Ln2(CO3)3·xH2O(cr) (Ln = Sm, Eu) solids were introduced into the Syn-DB3 and dissolved Sm and Eu concentrations were monitored over 223 days. X-ray diffraction analysis confirmed that the crystallinity of the solid compounds was maintained throughout the experiments. The dissolved Sm and Eu concentrations at equilibrium were close to the predicted solubilities of Sm2(CO3)3(s) and Eu2(CO3)3(s) based on the ThermoChimie TDB. The Am solubility measured under oversaturated conditions was comparable to the measured Eu concentrations, although they were measured under different experimental settings. More experimental data are needed for Am-carbonate solid systems with careful characterization of the solid phases to better evaluate Am solubility in domestic groundwater conditions.

In-beop-dang (因法堂) is a building type that can confirm the complex space composition of the hermitage in the late Joseon Period, which is designed to accommodate various functions such as Buddhist priesthood, living spaces, and auditoriums. These facts have been confirmed mainly through plan analysis in many previous researches. However, such a plan composition has the potential to lead to more in-depth research when dealt with consideration of the Korean traditional wooden structure. In particular, the composition of upper structure in In-beop-dang with Toi-maru in front of the On-dol room can be considered from the perspective of structural response to wooden architecture in the Joseon period after the introduction of Toi-maru. Based on the achievements of these prior studies, this paper was conducted to examine the compositional characteristics, including the upper structure of the Wha-jang-am (華藏庵) In-beop-dang. In order to examine the universal aspects of structural type changes to cope with the complex spatial composition of the In-beop-dang, the cases of an in-mountain hermitage of Kim Nyong-sa(金龍寺) Temple, Geum-seon-dae (金仙臺), Yang-jin-am (養眞庵), and Dae-sung-am (大成庵).

This study presents a rapid and sequential radiochemical separation method for Pu and Am isotopes in radioactive waste samples from the nuclear power plant with anion exchange resin and TRU resin. After radionuclides were leached from the radioactive waste samples with concentrated HCl and HNO3, the sample was allowed to evaporate to dryness after filtering the leaching solution with 0.45 micron filter. The Pu isotopes were separated in HNO3 medium with anion exchange resin. For leaching solution passed through anion exchange column, the Am isotopes were separated with TRU resin. The purified Pu and Am isotopes were measured by alpha spectrometer, respectively, after micro-precipitation of neodymium. The sequential radiochemical separation of Pu and Am isotopes in radioactive waste samples using anion exchange resin and TRU resin was validated with ICP-MS system.

Mobility of radionuclides (RNs) in natural water systems can be increased by complex formation with organic materials. In alkaline cement pore-water conditions, cellulose materials in radwastes such as woods and papers are degraded fast to small organic materials. As a major cellulose degradation product, isosaccharinate (ISA) has been paid attention recently due to its effect on facilitating RNs migration. ISA contains a carboxyl and four hydroxyl functional groups, which cooperatively interact to form chelating bonds with positively charged radionuclides. In our previous study, we determined thermodynamic formation constants, reaction enthalpy and entropy of trivalent americium complexes with ISA, Am(ISA)n (3-n)+ (n=1, 2), in weak acidic condition by conducting temperature-dependent UVVis absorption spectroscopy. Based on those thermodynamic constants along with the experimental results from time-resolved laser induced fluorescence spectroscopy and DFT calculations, we suggested two different chelating-modes of ISA on Am(III). It is more relevant to study Am(III)-ISA complexation under alkaline conditions around pH 12.5, which correspond to the pore-water condition of calciumsilicate- hydrate. Under the alkaline conditions, deprotonated hydroxyl groups of ISA can form more strong interactions with Am. Aquatic hydroxide group can also act as a ligand to form ternary Am(III) -ISA-OH complexes. In this study, absorption spectra of Am-ISA systems were monitored with two variations: first, pH variation (5.5–13) in the presence of constant 30 mM ISA, and second, ISA concentration variation (20 μM – 30 mM) at constant pH of 12.5. As increasing the pH at constant 30 mM ISA, absorption spectra of Am(ISA)2 + were red-shifted from 506.3 to 509.5 nm. The samples showed stable absorption spectra over 30 days. On the other hand, samples with lower ISA concentrations below 10 mM at pH 12.5, showed gradual decrease in the absorbance as sample aging time. By examining filtrates after ultrafiltration (1 kDa), we confirmed that aqueous Am(III)-ISA complexes were formed in the presence of 30 mM ISA at pH 12.5, while colloidal particles and precipitations were formed in the conditions of ISA concentrations lower than 10 mM. In this presentation, we will discuss about probable ternary complex forms of Am(III)-ISA-OH, colloidal forms, and solubility of Am(III) as a function of ISA concentration under alkaline conditions. Absorption and luminescence spectroscopic properties of the Am(III)-ISA-OH ternary system will also be presented.

Carbonates are inorganic ligands that are abundant in natural groundwater. They strongly influence radionuclide mobility by forming strong complexes, thereby increasing solubility and reducing soil absorption rates. We characterized the spectroscopic properties of Am(III)-carbonate species using UV-Vis absorption and time-resolved laser-induced fluorescence spectroscopy. The deconvoluted absorption spectra of aqueous Am(CO3)2 − and Am(CO3)3 3− species were identified at redshifted positions with lower molar absorption coefficients compared to the absorption spectrum of aqua Am3+. The luminescence spectrum of Am(CO3)3 3− was red-shifted from 688 nm for Am3+ to 695 nm with enhanced intensity and an extended lifetime. Colloidal Am(III)-carbonate compounds exhibited absorption at approximately 506 nm but had non-luminescent properties. Slow formation of colloidal particles was monitored based on the absorption spectral changes over the sample aging time. The experimental results showed that the solubility of Am(III) in carbonate solutions was higher than the predicted values from the thermodynamic constants in OECD-NEA reviews. These results emphasize the importance of kinetic parameters as well as thermodynamic constants to predict radionuclide migration. The identified spectroscopic properties of Am(III)-carbonate species enable monitoring time-dependent species evolution in addition to determining the thermodynamics of Am(III) in carbonate systems.

The Don-am district is a residential area that was supplied in 1936 as a land readjustment project(Tojiguhoekjeongri). The Don-am district was newly supplied with residential areas and urban hanoks were built in large numbers. The Don-am district was influenced by urban planning and legislation at that time. These affected in the layout and plan of urban hanok. Residential block in the Don-am district were developed sequentially from the late 1930s to the 1960s. Residential block were divided by modern construction company and sold by individual lots. The blocks supplied to the Don-am district made uniformly the corner out-off(Ga gak) for creating a vehicle-centered road. So urban hanoks located in the corner plot was transformed in response to the road. Residential blocks in Don-am district was divided into three to four rows. Therefore, alleys were created inside the block. Newly made alleys consist of a privately owned road(Sa-do), a public road(Gong-Do), and open space in the site. And the alleys were used as an entry space for sharing with neighboring. Urban hanoks of Don-am district have had changed and adapted to the formation of these alleys.

This study was conducted to compare the mechanical properties of NAB (Ni-Al-Bronze) material manufactured using WAAM (wire arc additive manufacturing) technology and cast NAB that has been used. Two types of mechanical property test pieces were collected from the deposited bulk NAB material according to the direction of deposition, and compared with each other. As a result of mechanical property evaluation, the deposited NAB exhibited anisotropy according to the direction of deposition, and showed high tensile strength, hardness, and shock absorption in the longitudinal direction of the welding line.

A basic metal deposition experiment for manufacturing aluminum parts was performed using WAAM (Wire arc additive manufacturing), and the cross-sectional shape of the laminate according to nine deposition conditions. The effect of heat input was analyzed for the bead shape according to the deposition conditions, and the deposition efficiency was calculated by analyzing the cross-sectional shape of thin-wall parts made of aluminum. The amount of heat input was used in the experiment from about 2.7 kJ/cm to 4.5 kJ/cm, and the closer the heat input was to 4.5kJ/cm, the higher the deposition efficiency was. The maximum lamination efficiency obtained through this study reached 76%.

경상우도에 연고를 둔 함인재 정국채는 19세기 전반을 전후로 한 시기를 주요 활동기로 삼았던 노론 계열의 재야 유학자다. 남명학파의 본산 지역에서 자신의 학적⋅이념적 소속을 노론계로 정위시킨 사실도 독특하지만, 정국채의 경우 정주학과 농학 및 예학 등과 같이 제 범주를 아우르는 학문세계를 개척한 정황 또한 매우 이채롭게 여겨진다. 그러나 정국채가 남긴 문집인 『함인 재유고』가 학계의 공적 담론의 장에 접속되지 않은 채 사실상 미공개의 상태를 유지해 왔던 까닭에, 그에 대한 연구는 지금까지 전무한 실정이다. 이에 금번 논의에서는 정국채가 향유한 생애의 연대기적 추이를 추적해서 개괄해 보임과 동시에, 특히 그의 학문세계 형성에 관여하였던 두 스승인 성담 송환기와 경호 이의조 간에 교차된 학문적 영향력의 문제를 논구하게 되었다. 그 결과 그간 축적된 가학의 토대 하에, 42세에 대면한 송환기의 문하에서 정국채는 정주학 전반에 걸쳐서 질적으로 도약하는 심화 학습의 계기를 맞이하였음을 확인하였다. 또한 송환기의 5대조인 송시열이 수립한 우암학의 계승자로 자처하는 국면으로 이행했던 사실도 주목된다. 한편 이의조와의 대면을 통해서 정국채는 그의 학자적 정체성을 예학자로 정위하는 과정에서 중요한 계기를 맞이하게 된다. 물론 정국채는 지리한 『가례증해』의 체제에 대한 문제의식에서 『사례촬요』를 저술하기도 했으나, 이의조에게 전한 서신들은 예학이 형성된 연원의 일단을 시사해 주고 있다. 한편 송환기가 매개가 되어 우암학의 계승자로 나선 정국채는 『송자대전』과 송시열의 ｢연보｣를 숙독하는 한편, 주변의 동문들에게 우암의 저술을 필독 할 것을 적극 권유하는 열의를 발휘하기도 했다. 송시열 이상으로 『주자대전』을 예찬하곤 했던 정국채는 성주에 건립된 노강서원의 사액 문제에도 큰 관심을 표했는데, 이 또한 우암학을 계승하기 위한 노력과 노론계의 도통 계보를 중시한 결과였다. 송환기 사후에 스승을 노강서원에 추배하기 위해 노력하고, 문집 간행을 위해 주도적인 희생을 기울였던 정황 또한 우암학을 적극 계승하려는 의지와 필적할 만한 성질의 것이었다.

아메리슘(Am)은 사용후핵연료의 장기 방사성 독성에 크게 영향을 주기 때문에 고준위 방사성 폐기물 처분의 장기 안전성 평가에 필수적으로 고려되어야 할 원소이다. 분광학적 방법을 이용한 일부 악티나이드 원소의 화학반응 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있는 반면, 아메리슘에 대한 연구는 아직까지 미비한 상황이다. 이 연구에서는 고순도의 시료를 필요로 하는 화학반응 연구를 위하여 241Am 시료를 정제한 후, 액체섬광계수기와 감마선 및 알파선 스펙트럼을 이용하여 정량과 정성분석을 하였다. 액체 광도파 모세관 셀을 이용한 고감도의 UV-Vis 흡수 분광학과 시간분해 레이저 형광 분광학을 이용하여 Am(Ⅲ) 가수분해물과 옥살레이트(oxalate, Ox) 착물반응을 조사하였다. 산성조건에서 Am3+은 503 nm에서 최대 흡수봉우리를 보이며, 몰흡광계수는 424 ± 8 cm-1·M-1임을 확인하였다. 중성 이상의 pH 조건에서 형성되는 Am(OH)3(s) 콜로이드 입자에서는 506-507 nm 파장에서 최대 흡수봉우리가 관측되었다. Am(Ox)3 3- 착물은 Am3+에 비교하여 흡수 및 발광스펙트럼이 각 각 4와 5 nm정도 장파장으로 이동하였고 몰흡광계수와 발광세기도 크게 증가하였다. Am(Ox)3 3-의 발광수명은 23에서 56 ns으로 증가하였고 이는 Am(Ⅲ)의 내부권에 결합하고 있던 약 여섯 개의 물분자가 옥살레이트의 카르복실기로 치환되었음을 의미한다. 이 결과로부터 Am(Ox)3 3-은 각 옥살레이트 리간드가 두 자리 결합(bidentate)을 하고 있다는 것을 제안하였다.

이온성 액체를 이용하여 질산 용액으로부터 Am(Ⅲ)과 Eu(Ⅲ)의 추출 거동을 조사하고 이온성 액체의 활용가능성을 살펴보았다. 이온성 액체로는 1-alkyl-3- methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide ([Cnmim][Tf2N])을 사용하였고, noctyl( phenyl)-N,N-diisobutyl carbamoylmethyl phosphine oxide (CMPO)와 tri-n-butylphosphate (TBP)를 추출제로 사용하여, Am(Ⅲ)과 Eu(Ⅲ)의 추출 분배계수를 질산농도, CMPO, TBP와 같은 변수들의 함수로서 측정하였다. 이온성 액체를 사용함으로써 기존의 n-doodecane (n-DD)과 비교하여 추출 효율이 현저히 증가하였다. 질산 용액의 농도가 높을수록 Am(Ⅲ)과 Eu(Ⅲ)의 추출률은 감소하였으며, Eu(Ⅲ)의 추출률은 Am(Ⅲ)보다 전반적으로 작았다. 이온성 액체를 이용한 Am(Ⅲ)과 Eu(Ⅲ)의 추출 메카니즘은 n-DD와 같은 분자성 유기용매를 사용하는 경우와는 달리 양이온 교환 메카니즘에 의해 일어나는 것으로 판명되었다. 사용한 모든 이온성 액체에 대하여 Am(Ⅲ)과 Eu(Ⅲ)의 추출 분배계수는 CMPO의 농도가 높을수록 증가 하고, CMPO 농도에 대한 추출 데이터의 직선 기울기 값은 약 3.0으로 이온성 액체를 이용한 Am(Ⅲ)과 Eu(Ⅲ)의 추출반응에서 3분자의 CMPO가 복합착물을 형성하는 것으로 나타났다.

A three-dimensional physical part can be fabricated from a three-dimensional digital model in a layer-wise manner via additive manufacturing (AM) technology, which is different from the conventional subtractive manufacturing technology. Numerous studies have been conducted to take advantage of the AM opportunities to penetrate bespoke custom product markets, functional engineering part markets, volatile low-volume markets, and spare part markets. Nevertheless, materials issues, machines issues, product issues, and qualification/certification issues still prevent the AM technology from being extensively adopted in industries. The present study briefly reviews the standard classification, technological structures, industrial applications, technological advances, and qualification/certification activities of the AM technology. The economics, productivity, quality, and reliability of the AM technology should be further improved to pass through the technology adoption lifecycle of innovation technology. The AM technology is continuously evolving through the introduction of PM materials, hybridization of AM and conventional manufacturing technologies, adoption of process diagnostics and control systems, and enhanced standardization of the whole lifecycle qualification and certification methodology.
