As nuclear power plants are operated in Korea, low and intermediate-level radioactive wastes and spent nuclear fuels are continuously generated. Due to the increase in the amount of radioactive waste generated, the demand for transportation of radioactive wastes in Korea is increasing. This can have radiological effect for public and worker, risk assessment for radioactive waste transportation should be preceded. Especially, if the radionuclides release in the ocean because of ship sinking accident, it can cause internal exposure by ingestion of aquatic foods. Thus, it is necessary to analyze process of internal exposure due to ingestion. The object of this study is to analyze internal exposure by ingestion of aquatic foods. In this study, we analyzed the process and the evaluation methodology of internal exposure caused by aquatic foods ingestion in MARINRAD, a risk assessment code for marine transport sinking accidents developed by the Sandia National Laboratory (SNL). To calculate the ingestion internal exposure dose, the ingestion concentrations of radionuclides caused by the food chain are calculated first. For this purpose, MARINRAD divide the food chain into three stages; prey, primary predator, and secondary predator. Marine species in each food chain are not specific but general to accommodate a wide variety of global consumer groups. The ingestion concentrations of radionuclides are expressed as an ingestion concentration factors. In the case of prey, the ingestion concentration factors apply the value derived from biological experiments. The predator's ingestion concentration factors are calculated by considering factors such as fraction of nuclide absorbed in gut, ingestion rate, etc. When calculating the ingestion internal exposure dose, the previously calculated ingestion concentration factor, consumption of aquatic food, and dose conversion factor for ingestion are considered. MARINRAD assume that humans consume all marine species presented in the food chain. Marine species consumption is assumed approximate and conservative values for generality. In the internal exposure evaluation by aquatic foods ingestion in this study, the ingestion concetration factor considering the food chain, the fraction of nuclide absorbed in predator’s gut, ingestion rate of predator, etc. were considered as influencing factors. In order to evaluate the risk of maritime transportation reflecting domestic characteristics, factors such as domestic food chains and ingestion rate should be considered. The result of this study can be used as basis for risk assessment for maritime transportation in Korea.
Global warming, or climate change, could be the main reason why small islands in many areas of the Earth, including those in Indonesian territory, are sinking. Many small Indonesian islands are between 1 and 3 metres under the surface of the sea because of raised sea levels caused by climate change. If this situation continues, it would affect many of the outermost islands of Indonesia, so that we should anticipate the danger that the outermost islands would be submerged. The basepoints and archipelagic baselines would then be replaced, among other serious consequences for Indonesia. The Paris Climate Agreement, signed by almost 200 states in 2015, is the main instrument for mitigating global warming through reducing the emission of greenhouse gases. Indonesia ratified the Paris Climate Agreement, because it has a great interest in mitigating the phenomenon that is causing the sea level to rise, which is having a serious impact on its islands.
Systematical classification of accident factors is very important to take appropriate countermeasures to reduce accidents. The aim of this study is to classify capsizing and sinking factors so as to propose a checklist which could be used to analyze future accidents. The scope is investigation reports of capsizing and sinking accidents published by Japan Transport Safety Board between 2008 and March 2017. The investigation reports were surveyed in order to extract all factors involved in the accidents. Then the factors were categorized into eight classified factors according to their characteristics and a checklist for analyzing capsizing and sinking accidents was proposed. The checklist was applied to capsizing and sinking accidents surveyed in this study and it was revealed that refraining from “navigation in bad weather” is the most effective countermeasure for capsizing and sinking. It was also revealed that “flooding,” whose involvement was the highest for both capsizing and sinking, is the factor which needs countermeasures the most during navigation. It is concluded that accident analyses could be facilitated by applying the proposed checklist to future accidents.
In this study, numerical method was used to assess technical properties and improve the Vietnamese tuna purse seine. Thedata were extracted from the two national level projects. The study results showed that average lead-line sinking speed reached 0.139 m/s and 0.143 m/s and maximum sinking depth was 61.6 m and 65.8 m for The gears 2003 and 2014 respectively. The maximum tension on ring line of The gear 2003 was 4,742 kgf and 2014 was 4,219 kgf. The improved tuna purse seines I, III and IV showed similar sinking speed results with 0.220 m/s, 0.219 m/s and 0.219 m/s respectively. The average lead-line sinking speed of the improved gear II was lowest with 0.215 m/s. The maximum lead-line sinking depth of the four improved gears I, II, III and IV were 116 m, 112 m, 115 m and 114.9 m respectively. Maximum tension on ring line of the improved gears I, II, III and IV were 5,657 kgf, 5,406 kgf, 5,645 kgf and 5,654 kgf respectively. The improved tuna purse seine IV is the most suitable for Vietnamese tuna purse seine fishery, Which corresponds with tuna purse seiner scale and its fishing supporting equipment at the present.
The sinking seat is the mounted seat in rear columns of recreational vehicle. The convenience of sinking seat is lower than folding seat because the paths of the containment and withdrawal are different each other. In this paper, the cam shape design model which is related recliner apparatus was introduced of the folding path of the existing manual system sinking seat. And the validity of the design variable was verified through the dynamic mechanics simulation using RecurDyn. but, the transformation-time graph of cam link joint position in RecurDyn is unstable because it is not consideration of friction.

최근 수십년간 크고 작은 대형 해난사고가 발생하였으며 2002년 6월 29일 제2연평해전에서 우리 해군 함정 참수리 357함이 이북 함정의 포탄에 피격되어 7시간 30분만에 침몰하였고 2007년 12월 7일 새벽 07시 태안 만리포 앞 해상에 정박 중이던 대형 유조선 허베이 스피리트호와 삼성중공업 타워 크레인과 충돌로 원유 12,547 톤이 유출하는 등의 크고 작은 사고가 빈번하게 발생되었다.
The purpose of this paper is to provide useful information for fishermen in the manner of investigation a sinking speed of current type tuna longline gear at the North Pacific Ocean as a new developed tuna longline fishing ground. The sinking depth of mainline in connection with different basket was investigated. The experiments were also performed with different materials such as Supermansen (i.e., PE) and Hitech (i.e., PA) for the mainline to investigate the sinking depth of mainline and hooks. Furthermore, the relation between the sinking depth of hooks and catches are investigated also. The sinking depth of mainline at the first and the last shooting basket shows deeper than that of middle part of a basket due to reduced shortening ratio. The sinking depth of mainline and hook with Hitech material shows more shallow than that of Supermanse material, even the Hitech case was designed to sink deeper than that of Supermanse case. The highest catches arise at the middle part basket as the hook number 7 with around 248m sinking depth. From the results, longline with Hitech material is needed to increase the sinking force for reaching the relevant sinking depth. Moreover, the current strength at the North Pacific Ocean will be considered for further commercial fishing.
본 연구에서는 경남 통영 욕지도에 참치양식용 내파성 가두리 설치시 Cochlodinium polykridoides 적조 발생에 대한 적정 침강 깊이를 설정하기 위하여 장시간 동안 C. polykrikoides의 수직이동 현상을 조사하였다. 욕지도 근해의 식물플랑크톤 총 세포밀도는 월별에 따라 매우 큰 변동폭을 보이고 있으며, 대부분 규조류가 우점종으로 출현하고 있다. 여름철 와편모조류의 종 조성을 보면 Gymnodinium sp.가 총 19회로 가장 많은 출현 횟수를 보였고, 특히 C. polykrikoides도 총 8회로 나타났다. 또한 Karenia brevis 및 Fibrocapsa japonica와 같은 유독성 적조생물도 출현하여 이 지역에서 식물플랑크톤에 대한 장기적 모니터링이 필요할 것이다. 일출과 일몰에 따른 Chl-a 농도의 변화와 총 세포수의 변화는 상호 유의한 상관성을 나타내어 부침식 가두리 양식장은 표층으로부터 최소한 3m 침강시켜야 C. polykrikoides 적조로 인한 피해를 현저히 감소시킬 수 있을 것이다.
