Since the commercial operation of Kori unit 1 in 1978, nuclear power has provided cheap, stable and clean electricity in South-Korea. For decades, the discussion about the spent fuel management has been dominated and the government is responsible for on-going research and development (R&D) related to long-term spent nuclear fuel management. The effective management of spent fuel should be applied from the early stage of the R&D process to licensing phases with the step-by-step evaluation system. As part of follow-up efforts after the Fukushima nuclear accident, the Nuclear Promotion Commission and Nuclear Safety Commission were divided in function as an independent agency for enhancing national nuclear safety and security, which aims to protect the public and environment from undue radiological hazard. The national spent fuel project must have a vibrant program for spent fuel management. Due to the nature of these projects, the establishment of a ‘conformity assessment’ system that collects the opinions from the licensing organisations on the results of research projects from the initial R&D stage should be applied advertently in order to efficiently conduct research projects and enhance public confidence. For the government-led project for spent nuclear fuel management, the adequacy and applicability of its technology R&D as well as its sustainability that includes financial, social and environmental performance measures should be evaluated in each stage. The institutionalisation arrangement, so called ‘conformity assessment system’ for the development of a national spent nuclear fuel management plan and related technology should be developed. This study aims to propose the basic principles for the introduction of the conformity assessment system: (1) national management responsibility, (2) spent fuel management project scope, (3) its management main principles, (4) project implementation system, (5) final management project scope and securing financial resources.

The scope of this study is the construction conformity assessment system according to the new paradigm of construction management To minimize the differences between domestic and international state, construction Conformity Assessment is subdivided into system certification and product certification. For the former, WASCON(Worldwide Assessment System of Construction Quality Maturity Stage) is applied. For the latter, AQUA(Advanced Quality Assessment System) was developed and adopted to model project for demonstration. Both systems are designed to enable quantified rating, integrated into PQCS(Project Quality Certification), which is an advanced project quality certification system. The construction work observing PQCS will gain quality score on its own quality certificate(Quality mark on construction itself or facilities is also available, if needed or preferred by customers). This Quality Rating System will inspire and encourage any related parties. PQCS score would let supplier/constructor recognize how much themselves are operating effectively and efficiently, offering them the opportunity of redeeming their weaknesses.

In this study, we investigated and analyzed the registration, sales and regulatory management system of in vitro diagnostic veterinary medical reagents (IVDVMRs) in Korea. The registration of IVDVMRs has gradually increased since 2000, and total of 233 products from 58 companies were registered from 1975 to 2014. The market size of IVDVMRs is estimated to be approximately 12 billion Won per year from 2011 to 2013: the export sales and proportion was estimated to be 36.8% as 4.4 billion Won in 2013. Of these products, the ranking of the sales were canine heartworm, bovine tuberculosis, swine fever, porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome, canine distemper+adenovirus+parvovirus disease, foot and mouth disease, etc. In vitro diagnostic human medical reagents were diverted biological medicine from the medical devices by the revision of the Pharmaceutical Affairs Law Enforcement Regulations in 2014 in Korea. In contrast, in vitro diagnostic devices for animal were still managed as medical devices and biological medicines, respectively. The diagnostic reagents for infectious diseases have neither classification nor grade systems. Good manufacturing practices (GMP) requirements on IVDVMRs were also exempted from the current system. This study suggested that the registration of the IVDVMRs has increased since 2005, and regulations of these devices should be improved for the effective operating system.

The occupational health and safety accidents were continuously increased during handling, usage and manufacturing the chemical materials according to increase of small and medium sized enterprises in domestic industries. These accidents mainly resulted from insufficient occupational health and safety management and deteriorative facilities and focused on corresponding operation to minimize the damage of accidents after occurrence. But, it was required that we grasped the occurrence causes of occupational health and safety risk in handling, usage and manufacturing the chemical materials and develop the adequate corresponding operation and system according to the possible occurrence of occupational health and safety risk. This study deals with the development of risk assessment model to derive the risk and important risk of occupational health and safety and then help to construct the self-controlled occupational health and safety system for small and medium sized enterprises handling the chemical materials.

Environmental pollution including air, land, and water has become one of the most critical issues in global interest. The damages due to environmental pollution lead to serious disasters. Nations have realized the importance of environment protection and have been starting to force organizations to implement environmental management system (EMS) as way of protecting environment. ISO 14001 requirements that are the most popular standard as EMS have been developed to support continuous improvement to environment management. It has been revised once since publication and ISO 14001 : 2004 version is currently available. Organizations globally started to acquire the certificate of EMS to observe environment related laws, accept customers’ and stakeholders’ request, increase market share, and fulfill implementation motives. This article examines the audit data that were collected for several years from manufacturing companies including shipbuilding, machinery, metal, automobiles, and chemical companies in southeastern Korea on the basis of ISO 14001 : 2004 requirements. The audit data were classified into minor nonconformities based on factors such as business size, business type, and EMS implementation period. We conduct hypotheses test using statistical methods in order to see if there are any significant differences based on the factors. We draw conclusions for the results of hypotheses test and address the necessities of energy, greenhouse gas, green management, and continuous improvement to enhance the efficiency of EMS implementation.

Riverfront plays an important role as accessible and inclusive public space for residents, and a riverfront development and management has become a social and environmental issue. The purpose of this study is to analyze Korean legislation and guidelines applied in a riverfront assessment process to identify any legislative problems. To this end, major laws, regulations, national river management plans, and various guidelines related to river management were reviewed. The followings are the suggestions proposed for future improvement. First, clear and consistent definitions on riverfront areas and its spatial range are required across the laws. Also, recreational activities and facilities in riverfront should be categorized and listed for possible development and maintenance. Second, it is necessary to develop an objective and unified riverfront assessment system. Also, guidelines for surveying and evaluating the conditions and potentials of riverfront should be developed. Third, efforts should be made to revise related laws and guidelines to enable comprehensive and systematic approach in design, planning, implementation, maintenance of riverfront. Improving the related legislations and streamlining an riverfront assessment process can help create environmentally-friendly riverfront spaces and mange them efficiently

To develop various usable water from coal seam gas (CSG) water that needs to be pumped out from coal seams for methane gas production, a feasibility study was carried out, evaluating and analysing a recent report (Coal Seam Gas Water Management Policy 2012) from Queensland State Government in Australia to suggest potential CSG water treatment options for fit-for-purpose usable water production. As CSG water contains intrinsically high salinity-driven total dissolved solid (TDS), bicarbonate, aliphatic carbon, Ca+2, Mg+2 and so on, it was found that appropriate treatment technologies are required to reduce the hardness below 60 mg/L as CaCO3 by setting the reduction rates of Ca+2, Mg+2 and Na+ concentrations, as well as TDS reduction. Also, Along with fiber filtration and membrane separation, an oxidation degradation process was found to be required. Along with salinity reduction, as CSG water contains organic compounds (TOC: 248 mg/L, C6 -C9: <20 mg/L and C10 - C36: <60 mg/L), compounds with relatively high molecular weights (C10 - C36) need to be treated first. Therefore, this study suggests a combined system design with filtration (Reverse osmosis) and oxidation reduction (electrolysis) technologies, offering proper operating conditions to produce fit-for-purpose usable water from CSG water.

제방, 댐, 교량, 도로 등 주요 시설물은 일상적인 사회·산업적 활동을 지원하기 위한 수단으로서 뿐만 아니라, 재난발생 시 인적·물적 자산을 보호해 준다는 점에서 매우 중요한 의미를 가진다. 그러나 시설물의 중요성에도 불구하고 이들을 적극적으로 활용하고 있는 재난관리시스템이 아직 개발되어 있지 않으며, 정작 재난이 발생할 때는 시설물 보호 및 활용을 배제한 대응이 이루어져 2차·3차적인 피해를 발생시키고 있다. 더욱이, 2014년 한국에서 발생한 세월호 유람선 침몰사건에서 제기된 여러 가지 이슈들, 예를 들어, 재난 발생 시 적절한 대응방안 제시 및 이와 관련된 즉각적인(Golden time) 의사결정, 신속한 현장 파악 및 보고, 구조·복구를 위한 자원(Resources) 관리 및 동원, 통합적 콘트롤 기능 등의 이슈들이 SOC시설물 재난관리 상황에서도 제기될 수 있는 바, 이를 적절히 해결하기 위한 방안이 필요하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 홍수 등 재난 영향흐름(Impact Flow)에 기반을 둔 SOC시설물 위험도 평가체계를 제안하여 상기 이슈들에 대한 해결방안을 논의하고자 한다. 이를 위해 Hazus-MH, DIMSuS 등 최근 주요선진국들의 관련 기술 및 연구에 대한 포괄적인 문헌분석을 실시하였으며, System Dynamics 시뮬레이션 모델 구축을 통해 알고리즘 검증 및 TB 적용성을 검토하였다. 본 연구를 통해 제공될 SOC시설물에 대한 통합적 위험도 관리 기능은 SOC시설물의 안전 및 재해예방 관련 정책결정자와 관리자들에게 합리적인 의사결정수단을 제공하고 궁극적으로 대상 SOC시설물의 안전도를 향상시키는데 기여할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
