Deuk-Man Kim,Seok-Ju Hwang,Cheon-Woo Kim 한국방사성폐기물학회 2022 한국방사성폐기물학회 학술논문요약집 Vol.20 No.2

In 2022, new regulatory guidelines were announced in relation to the off-site dose calculation (ODC), and accordingly, measures to improve the off-site does calculation program (ODCP), kdose60, were reviewed. The main consideration is, first, that if multiple nuclear facilities are operated on the same site, the boundaries of the restricted areas shall be set as the overlapping outer boundaries of the restricted areas determined by calculation for each nuclear facility. Second, the external exposure caused by direct radiation from a number of nuclear facilities in the same site must be partially or fully applied depending on the facility and site characteristics. Third, the dose conversion coefficient should be evaluated by checking whether the effect of the daughter nuclides is properly reflected. Fourth, the soil contamination period is a factor to consider that radioactive substances deposited on the surface, such as particulate nuclides, affect residents over a long period of time. Fifth, due to the recent construction of Shin-Kori Units 5 and 6, there is a change in the site boundary of the Kori/Saeul site, so as the site boundary is expanded, it is required to add an exposure dose assessment point due to gas effluents and change the exposure dose assessment point according to crop intake. Therefore, through this study, the direction for improving the ODCP will be prepared by reviewing the recent revision of the regulatory guidelines.

분자량이 다른 세종류 히알루론산(HA)에 1,4-butanediol diglycidyl ether(BDDE)가 가교된 hyaluronic acid(HA)를 첨가하여 하이드로겔을 제조하고 HA 분자량에 따른 팽윤도와 탄성계수의 효과를 조사하였다. 최종 투석 후 잔류 BDDE 양은 0.5 ppm 이하이었다. 비가교된 분자량이 큰 HA에서 최대 팽윤도가 관찰되었다. 팽윤도는 비가교 HA 양과 가교도에 각각 비례와 반비례하였다. 1.0 w/v% BDDE 가교 HA와 HA(1368 kDa)를 혼합한 monophasic 하이드로젤의 탄성계수는 152~325 ㎩이었다. 15% 가교 HA(687 kDa)과 85% HA(1368 kDa)로 구성된 biphasic 하이드로젤의 탄성계수는 178 Pa이었다. 1,4-Butanediol diglycidyl ether (BDDE) crosslinked hyaluronic acid (HA) suspended in three different HAs (697, 1058, 1368 kDa) were prepared to investigate the effect of HA molecular weight on swelling property and elastic modulus of the hydrogels. The amount of the residual BDDE after final dialysis was less than 0.5 ppm. The highest swelling ratio was observed for the uncrosslinked HA having the largest molecular weight. The expansion capacity of HA rose with increasing the amount of pure HA and was inversely proportional to the crosslinking degree due to an increased number of coiled HA chain interactions. Elastic modulus (G’) of monophasic fillers having different ratios of 1.0 w/v% BDDE crosslinked HAs to pure HA (1368 kDa) were within 152 and 325 ㎩. 178 Pa was observed for the biphasic fillers consisting of 15% crosslinked HA (697 kDa) nanoparticles suspended in 85% of uncrosslinked HA (1368 kDa).

Apoptosis has been hypothesized to be involved in the pathogenesis in schizophrenia. A large number of genes are known to mediate the apoptotic process; Apo-1/Fas (CD95) is a well-known example of such genes. In the present study, MvaI restriction fragment length polymorphism, a polymorphic marker present within the Apo-1/Fas gene, was examined in a population consisting of 226 control subjects and 110 schizophrenia patients, all of them Korean in ethnicity. No statistically significant difference in the genotypic distribution and allelic frequencies was observed between the control and the schizophrenia patient group. To find out the precise effect of Apo-1/Fas gene polymorphisms on the susceptibility to schizophrenia, further studies are warranted to investigate possible involvement of other polymorphisms with a larger sample population.

Deuk-Man Kim,Seok-Ju Hwang,Si-Young Kim,Jung-Kwon Son 한국방사성폐기물학회 2023 한국방사성폐기물학회 학술논문요약집 Vol.21 No.2

In order to evaluate the exposure dose of residents living near nuclear power plants, a Off-site Dose Calculation Program (ODCP) has been developed based on SAP since 2021. The ODCP consists of social environmental factor, atmospheric diffusion factors, liquid/gas dose evaluation, and comprehensive analysis, and was developed by dividing it into functional modules. The offsite dose calculation can be carried out monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, and annual, and resident dose evaluation is conducted by entering air diffusion factors and emissions for each period. It also enables comprehensive evaluation result management by developing history management functions together.

Kim, Deuk-Ju,Nam, Sang-Yong American Scientific Publishers 2014 Journal of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology Vol.14 No.12

<P>Sulfonated poly(arylene ether sulfone) (SPAES) and sulfonated silica (silica-SO3H) prepared via sol-gel reaction are used as an organic polymer matrix and inorganic nanoparticles. The contents of the silica-SO3H particles in the composite membranes are controlled at 0.5, 1, 2, 3 and 5 wt.% in order to evaluate the appropriate content for high proton conductivity. Randomly dispersed silica particles are obtained from all composite membranes as a result of the hydrophilic domains in the polymer and silica-SO3H. In this study, the optimum silica-SO3H content for high proton conductivity is 3 wt.% in fully hydrated conditions and 0.5 wt.% in low humidity conditions.</P>

높은 이온교환능력을 가지는 버미큘라이트와 술폰화된 폴리아릴렌에테르술폰으로 제조된 복합막의 연료전지 적용을 위한 특성평가

Deuk Ju Kim,Hae Young Hwang,Sang Yong Nam 한국막학회 2011 멤브레인 Vol.21 No.4

본 연구에서는 용액 캐스팅법을 이용하여 각기 다른 함량의 VMT가 첨가된 SPAES/VMT 복합막이 제조되었다. SPAES 매트릭스 내의 VMT입자 분산은 전자주사현미경으로 관찰된 평균분포에 의해 확인되었다. 1 wt%보다 적은 함량을 포함한 복합막은 고분자 매트릭스 내에 좋은 분산성을 나타내어 막의 상부층과 하부층에 매끈한 표면을 가졌다. 복합막의 함수율은 온도가 증가함에 따라 급격하게 증가되었으며 VMT는 높은 이온교환능력으로 인하여 강한 수분친화도를 가짐으로 인해 높은 모든 흡착된 수분은 bound water인 것으로 확인하였다. VMT의 함량이 1 wt%보다 적게 첨가된 복합막에서 증가된 이온전도도와 낮아진 메탄올 투과도를 확인할 수 있었다. 모든 복합막 중에서 SPAES/VMT 1.0 wt% 복합막은 선택도 측면에서 가장 뛰어난 연료전지 성능을 가졌으며 Nafion 112과 비교하여 두배 이상 우수한 값을 나타내었다. 이것은 SPAES/VMT 1.0 wt% 복합막이 직접메탄올 연료전지의 구동을 위한 가장 우수한 조건이 될것이라 사료된다. In this study, polymer composite membranes based on sulfonated poly(arylene ether sulfone) (SPAES) were prepared using a solution casting method with different amount of vermiculite (VMT) content. The dispersion of VMT particles in the SPAES matrix was confirmed by means of a scanning electron microscopy observation. The composite membrane containing less than 1 wt% of VMT has a smooth skin on the top and bottom, which means there is a good dispersion of VMT in the matrix. The water uptake of the composite membranes gradually increases as the temperature increases, and the results confirm that all the adsorbed water is bound water because VMT has a strong water affinity on account of its high cation exchange value. A composite membrane with a VMT content of less than 1 wt% increases the proton conductivity and reduces the methanol permeability. Of all the composite membranes, the membrane SPAES/VMT 1.0 has the best fuel cell performance in terms of membrane selectivity. The performance value of SPAES/VMT 1.0 is double that of Nafion 112, which suggests that SPAES/VMT1.0 could be an excellent candidate for direct methanol fuel cells.

Deuk-Man Kim,Seok-Ju Hwang,Cheon-Woo Kim 한국방사성폐기물학회 2022 한국방사성폐기물학회 학술논문요약집 Vol.20 No.1

The off-site dose calculation is regularly carried out at the nuclear power plants in order to evaluate off-site dose from gaseous and liquid effluent during normal operation. In 2009, the off-site calculation program (K-DOSE60) was developed in accordance with ICRP-60 by KHNP. This software needs meteorological data, gaseous and liquid effluent data, and various other input parameters to evaluate off-site dose. As a result, it takes a certain amount of time for the user to enter accurate input data and verify calculated results, and it is difficult to intuitively determine them because of providing textbased calculated results. Therefore, in this study, the improvement of the calculation program was considered so that a more reliable and effective evaluation could be performed when calculating the off-site dose. The main improvements of the off-site dose calculation program (ODCP) are as follows. First, it is developed as the network-based program to link with meteorological data, and gaseous and liquid effluent data to remove input errors and simplify data transfer. Second, through validation process of input data, input errors are eliminated. Third, the input data and calculated results are visually provided so that the user can easily determine the evaluation results. Fourth, database of input and calculated results is constructed to facilitate evaluation result history management.

A review of polymer–nanocomposite electrolyte membranes for fuel cell application

Kim, Deuk Ju,Jo, Min Jae,Nam, Sang Yong Elsevier 2015 Journal of industrial and engineering chemistry Vol.21 No.-

<P><B>Abstract</B></P> <P>Proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) represent a promising means for the generation of power in the 21st century because of their high efficiency compared to the coal combustion engine and eco-environment. Among various components found in the fuel cell systems, proton exchange membranes (PEMs) are pivotal. Currently, the polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells are based on perfluoro sulfonic acid membranes such as Nafion, and Flemion, which have certain drawbacks such as high fuel crossover and cost. Consequently, researchers have focused on making PEMs with high proton conductivity, durability, thermal stability, maximum power density and low fuel crossover, and low cost. In the recent years, the hybrid organic–inorganic composite membrane has emerged as an interesting alternative. It provides a unique combination of organic and inorganic properties, and overcomes the limitations of the pure polymeric membranes. In this paper, we have reviewed several alternatives for the fabrication and evaluation of polymer electrolyte and composite membranes for fuel cell applications.</P>
