Since the Fukushima nuclear accident in 2011, the development of accident tolerant fuel (ATF) has been actively pursued as an alternative to improve the safety of nuclear power plants. In addition, nuclear power plants containing ATF have recently been included as green energy in the 2022 EU taxonomy bill, receiving a lot of attention. Many countries are considering increasing 235U enrichment from 5 to 10 235U % for higher burnup and long cycle operation with ATF improving safety. To utilize ATF, the applicability of fuel storage systems such as new fuel storage vault, Region 1, and Region 2 must be determined. The purpose of this paper is to confirm the applicability of applying ATF, which is being developed in Korea, to the nuclear fuel storage system of Korean nuclear power plants. The nuclear power plant model used in the analysis is APR-1400, a representative Korean nuclear power plant model, and ATF model used in the analysis is Mo microcell UO2 pellet with CrAl coating, which is being developed in Korea. MCNP 6.2 has been used for multiplication factor calculations, and the TRITON/NEWT and ORIGEN-S modules of the SCALE code have been used for depletion calculations. From the analysis results, solutions and additional analysis would be necessary to satisfy criticality regulatory requirements to utilize ATF with increased enrichment.
The Severe Disaster Punishment Act had recently been established in order to promote safety and health (OSH) management system for severe accident prevention. OSH management system is primarily designed based on risk assessments; however, companies in industries have been experiencing difficulties in hazard identification and selecting proper measures for risk assessments and accident prevention. This study intended to introduce an accident analysis method based on epidemiological model in finding hazard and preventive measures. The accident analysis method employed in this study was proposed by the U.S. Department of Energy. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the accident analysis method, this study applied it to two accident cases occurred in construction and manufacturing industries. The application process and results of this study can be utilized in improving OSH management system and preventing severe accidents.
해양사고는 주로 충돌과 좌초에 의한 것으로 인적과실이 원인이다. 한국형 e-Navigation 사업은 인적과실에 의한 해양사고 저감 및 초고속 해상무선통신(LTE-Maritime)의 구축 방안을 마련하고 있다. 그에 따른 사고취약선박 모니터링 지원 서비스(SV10)는 육상에서 수집한 선박의 위치정보를 기반으로 선박의 충돌·좌초 위험도를 평가하여 선박이 위험상황을 인식할 수 있도록 정보를 제공하고 해양사고 발생 시 육상에서 조기 대응할 수 있도록 실시간 선박 위치 및 위험상황 정보를 유관기관과 공유하는 서비스이다. 본 연구에서는 중앙해양안전심판원에서 제공된 해양사고 통계연보 및 재결서를 분석하여 SV10 서비스로 저감될 수 있는 해양사고 비율을 확인하였다.
This study of small & Medium-Sized construction sites construction disaster prevention technology conduction-site visits from the map results report by the inspector on-site advice and technical guidance for the analysis of deficiencies and potential construction of disaster revealed the potential factors causing an accident as follows. As a results, Should not be a once a month visits. Therefore should be changed at least twice a month to help prevent accidents of this system is to be judged.
Accident analyses are used to identify common factors contributing to occupational accidents and to give recommendations for accident prevention. In this study we developed a human error analysis system that can be used easily at the industries. This accident analysis system can be used to develop accident prevention programs to reduce human initiated accidents.
According to this study, small-scale construction projects with a construction value of less than 300 million won are placed in the blind spot of safety management inspection. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the management and inspection system that reflects characteristics of small-scale construction sites.
