Glass fiber, which was used as an insulation material in pipes near the steam generator system of nuclear power plants, is brittle and the size of crushed particles is small, so glass fiber radioactive waste (GFRW) can cause exposure of workers through skin and breathing during transport and handling accidents. In this study, Q-system which developed IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) for setting the limit of radioactivity in the package is used to confirm the risk of exposure due to an accident when transporting and handling GFRW. Also, the evaluated exposure dose was compared with the domestic legal effective dose limit to confirm safety. Q-system is an evaluation method that can derive doses according to exposure pathway (EP) and radioactivity. Exposure doses are calculated by dividing into five EP: QA, QB, QC, QD, and QE. Since the Q-system is used to set the limit of radioactivity that the dose limits is satisfied to nearby workers even in package handling accidents, the following conservative assumptions were applied to each EP. QA, QB are external EP of assuming complete loss of package shielding by accident and radiation are received for 30 minutes at 1 m, QC is an internal EP that considers the fraction of nuclides released into the air and breathing rate during accident, and QD is an external EP that skin contamination for 5 hours. Finally, QE is an internal and external EP by inert gases (He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe, Rn) among the released gaseous nuclides, but the QE pathway was excluded from the evaluation because the corresponding nuclide was not present in the GFRW products used for evaluation. In this study, the safety evaluation of GFRW was performed package shielding loss and radioactive material leakage due to single package accident according to assumption of four pathways, and the nuclide information used the average radioactivity for each nuclide of GFRW. As a result of the dose evaluation, QA was evaluated as 2.73×10−5 mSv, QB as 1.06×10−6 mSv, QC as 7.53×10−3 mSv, and QD as 2.10×10−6 mSv, respectively, and the total exposure dose was only 7.56×10−3 mSv, it was confirmed that when compared to the legal limits of the general public (1 mSv) and workers (20 mSv) 0.756% and 0.038%, respectively. In this study, it was confirmed that the legal limitations of the general public and workers were satisfied evens in the event of an accident as a result of evaluating the exposure dose of nearby targets for package shielding loss and radioactive material leakage while transporting GFRW. In the future, the types of accidents will be subdivided into falling, fire, and transportation, and detailed evaluation will be conducted by applying the resulting accident assumptions to the EP.
CSP(Concurrent Spare Parts) is supplied with the procurement of new equipment or weapon system and is used to sustain the equipment without resupply during the initial coverage period. This study is concerned with a problem of determining the near optimal inventory level of the spare parts, especially Concurrent Spare Parts. For this, we utilize the mixed periodic and continuous review polices considering the CSP and (r,Q) Policies concurrently in a two-echelon distribution system. We propose the mathematical model to minimize the total cost which is composed with ordering cost, purchasing cost, holding cost, and stickout cost. If the mixed policy is compared to other policies(CSP, (r,Q)), the proposed methodology performs well and is best policy in the equipment maintenance expenses.
The purpose of this study is to implement web-based quality cost management system to measure the performance of quality Improvement activities in the business firms. Developed WQCMS(Web-based Q-Cost Management System) have ability to collect and analyze
The purpose of this study is to design and implement web-based quality cost management system to measure the performance of quality improvement activities in the business firms. The designed web-based quality cost management system which is also known as
An improvement activity is necessary for the existence strategy of the corporate. We search effective activities by the integration, implemention of the Quality Control Circlle and the Suggestion Activity System on the various improvement activity. Therefore, Each of the concept and step are surveyed. We output the commonness and the difference, and propose "The Suggestion Circle Activity" that is the new integration, improvement activity. activity.
