Current State of In-Cabinet Response Spectra for Seismic Qualification of Equipment in Nuclear Power Plants

Ltd., Korea INTRODUCTION South Korea experienced its biggest earthquake in recent history on September 12, 2016. The Gyeongju earthquake of magnitude (Mw) 5.4 has initiated a significant activity in the area of seismic safety for nuclear power plants. Initial reports indicate that the nature of this earthquake is similar to the recent findings from geophysical investigations in Central and Eastern United States (CEUS), i.e., the earthquake ground motions contain not only the low frequency content but also some high frequency content. As is the case with most of the nuclear plants in CEUS, the safe shutdown earthquake (SSE) for most of the Korean plants have only low frequency content (below 10 Hz). Therefore, the nuclear plants in Korea are beginning to conduct a detailed seismic safety assessment of their structures, systems, and components (SSC). In the context of seismic safety assessment, high frequency motions are not likely to cause damage to structural systems as the displacements associated with such motions are relatively very small. Yet, past experience around the world has shown that electrical instruments such as relays, breakers, and contact switches can exhibit loss of functionality due to high frequency motions.

Korean War Timeline America's Forgotten War by Kallie Szczepanski, About.Com Guide
Korean War Timeline America's Forgotten War By Kallie Szczepanski, About.com Guide At the close of World War II, the victorious Allied Powers did not know what to do with the Korean Peninsula. Korea had been a Japanese colony since the late nineteenth century, so westerners thought the country incapable of self-rule. The Korean people, however, were eager to re-establish an independent nation of Korea. Background to the Korean War: July 1945 - June 1950 Library of Congress Potsdam Conference, Russians invade Manchuria and Korea, US accepts Japanese surrender, North Korean People's Army activated, U.S. withdraws from Korea, Republic of Korea founded, North Korea claims entire peninsula, Secretary of State Acheson puts Korea outside U.S. security cordon, North Korea fires on South, North Korea declares war July 24, 1945- President Truman asks for Russian aid against Japan, Potsdam Aug. 8, 1945- 120,000 Russian troops invade Manchuria and Korea Sept. 9, 1945- U.S. accept surrender of Japanese south of 38th Parallel Feb. 8, 1948- North Korean People's Army (NKA) activated April 8, 1948- U.S. troops withdraw from Korea Aug. 15, 1948- Republic of Korea founded.

Investigation of Changes in Indoor Radon Concentrations Before and After Seismic Activities in Gyeongju and Pohang, Korea
International Journal of GEOMATE, April 2019, Vol.16, Issue 56, pp. 98 - 103 ISSN: 2186-2982 (P), 2186-2990 (O), Japan, DOI: https://doi.org/10.21660/2019.56.4635 Special Issue on Science, Engineering & Environment INVESTIGATION OF CHANGES IN INDOOR RADON CONCENTRATIONS BEFORE AND AFTER SEISMIC ACTIVITIES IN GYEONGJU AND POHANG, KOREA Hanyoung Joo1, Jae Wook Kim1, and Joo Hyun Moon1 1Department of Nuclear Energy System Engineering, Dongguk University, Gyeongju; Republic of Korea *Corresponding Author, Received: 27 Nov. 2018, Revised: 11 Dec. 2018, Accepted: 29 Dec. 2018 ABSTRACT: This paper made a continuous measurement of the indoor radon concentrations at a university building in Gyeongju, Rep. of Korea, to check if there is any notable pattern between the indoor radon concentrations and seismic activities. On September 12, 2016, earthquakes with a magnitude of 5.1 and 5.8 consecutively occurred in Gyeongju. 14 months later, an earthquake with a magnitude of 5.5 occurred in Pohang, about 30 km away from Gyeongju, on November 15, 2017. This study investigated the change in the indoor radon concentrations before and after earthquakes to identify if there is any pattern between them and found an interesting pattern. Prior to earthquakes, radon anomalies, which are radon concentration deviating by more than ±2σ from the seasonal average, was usually identified. When 5.0 or greater magnitude earthquakes occurred, the indoor radon concentrations decreased sharply a few days before them, and then continuously increased until the occurrence of the earthquake. Keywords: Earthquake, Gyeongju, Pohang, Indoor radon concentration, Radon abnormally 1. INTRODUCTION earthquake occurrence by detecting radon radioactivity change [9].

Transportation http://www.daejeon.go.kr/language/english/residents/transportation/airports/index.html Background Information - Yuseong is a district of Metropolitan Daejeon in the North West section of the city and is near the Daedeok Science Town. - Many tourist hotels such as the “Hotel Riviera Yuseong” and others are located in Yuseong area which is famous as a hot springs resort. - There are four main bus terminals in Daejeon, two of which are located in Yuseong (for Express Bus), and two satellite terminals near the Daejeon Government Complex (for Airport Limousine) - There are two main train stations (Daejeon and Seodaejeon) in Daejeon. - There is only one line of subway in Daejeon. That is very convenient way from KTX stations to Yuseong Hotel Area. Map (Daejeon) Visiting Routes from Airport to Yuseong Hotel in Daejeon A. Incheon International Airport Incheon International Airport (ICN) is the main and largest international airport in Korea. The city of Daejeon is located approximately 220km south of ICN. Though closer international airports (i.e. Cheongju) exist, ICN is the most convenient. Website : http://www.airport.or.kr Tel : 1577-2600 There are three routes to come to Yuseong Hotel (or workshop place) from Incheon International Airport. We recommend route #1, using airport limousine bus because route #1 is direct one without transfer but remains are complicated for a first visitor. Route #1. Airport Limousine between Daejeon and Incheon International Airport You can use convenient limousine buses from/to ICN International Airport. Bus fares are 21,000 won for a deluxe limousine bus and 14,000 won for a regular limousine bus from/to ICN.
