  • The fuel operating ranges of fusion tokamak-based power plants are estimated using the improved engineering breakeven equation. The Lawson criterion equations are derived in the form of a triple product with a focus on engineering breakeven and the subbreakeven operating range. The relationship of fuel parameters to the power plant net efficiency is outlined. Analysis shows that the operating ranges of the suitable fuel parameters form a closed area, the size of which affects the net efficiency of the power plant. The obtained fuel operating ranges confirm the well-known fact that DT fuel is currently the only fusion fuel useable in tokamak-based fusion power plants. It is also shown that the energy utilization of pB fuel is possible in the subbreakeven operating range but is conditioned by the very high efficiency of the power plant equipment. For the utilization of DD, DHe3, and pB fuels, the required magnetic fields are indicatively estimated.

  • This study involves a blending of intensive and extensive shrimp culture techniques for a hypothetical shrimp farm which uses a combination of heated raceway nurseries and extensive grow-out ponds per year. The present value method of economic analysis is used to determine economic feasibility. The biological data in this reports were obtained from published or personal communications from leaders in the field of shrimp aquaculture. The proposed system showed economic feasibility using the present value method with discount rates of 10% and 12%. The most profitable scenario, the culture of three crops of Penaeus vannamei showed a 1.26 year payback period and 120% annual average rate of return. The breakeven price was $1.25/1b., which is $1.52 less than the market price of $2.77. Breakeven production was 724 1bs/acre, which is 8761bs. less than the assumed 1,600 1bs/acre. All other scenarios 1.2 and 3 crops for P. stylirostris and P. setiferus showed economic feasibility also.

  • 액체금속로 노심 열유체 설계의 기본 목표는 노심을 구성하는 집합체에서 발생하는 열량을 효과적으로 추출하기 위해 각각의 집합체 냉각재 유량을 적절히 분배하고, 이에 따른 온도분포가 적절하게 유지되도록 하는 것이다. 노심 열유체 설계 및 특성 분석은 전체노심에 대한 각 집합체의 유량영역을 구분하고, 집합체별 온도분포를 계산하여, 최종적으로 집합체에 대한 상세 부수로 해석을 하는 과정으로 진행된다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 액체금속로의 노심 열유체 설계 방법론을 기술하고, 이를 바탕으로 KALIMER의 증식특성 노심과 breakeven 노심에 대한 열유체 설계와 특성분석을 수행하였다. KALIMER는 원자력 중장기 과제로 개념설계가 진행 중인 전기출력 150MWe, 열출력 392MWth의 금속핵연료를 사용하는 액체 금속로이다.

  • Material properties such as coolant specific heat, film heat transfer coefficient, cladding thermal conductivity, surface diffusion coefficient of the multi-bubble are improved in MACSIS-Mod1. The axial power and flux profile module was also incorporated with irradiation history. The performance and feasibility of the updated driver fuel pin have been analyzed for nominal parameters based on the conceptual design for the KALIMER breakeven core by MACSIS-MOD1 code. The fuel slug centerline temperature takes the maximum at 700mm from the bottom of the slug in spite of the nearly symmetric axial power distribution. The cladding mid-wall and coolant temperatures take the maximum at the top of the pin. Temperature of the fuel slug surface over the entire irradiation life is much lower than the fuel-clad eutectic reaction temperature. The fission gas release of the driver fuel pin at the end of life is predicted to be $68.61\%$ and plenum pressure is too low to cause cladding yielding. The probability that the fuel pin would fail is estimated to be much less than that allowed in the design criteria. The maximum radial deformation of the fuel pin is $1.93\%$, satisfying the preliminary design criterion ($3\%$) for fuel pin deformation. Therefore the conceptual design parameters of the driver fuel pin for the KALIMER breakeven core are expected to satisfy the preliminary criteria on temperature, fluence limit, deformation limit etc.

  • A break-even analysis is a method used widely for profit planning or decisions in most companies. It is useful tool in financial studies because it is simple and offers useful insights from a modest amount of data. Although it is widely used, it has some weaknesses. It is limited in particular to the analysis for a short term time horizon or one period. We suggest a new break-even procedure to analyze projects with a long term time horizon as keeping the simplicity of a conventional break-even analysis. We will make efforts doing to include actual data for a cost or an income as much as possible rather than developing a mathematical model to improve unreality of a traditional break-even analysis. Also, we will use the spreadsheet software to solve problems.

  • The MATRA-LMR code has been developed based on a subchannel analysis method for LMR (Liquid Metal Reactor) core subassembly thermal hydraulic design and analysis. The code was improved to allow a seven assembly calculation and can account for inter-assembly heat transfer based on a lumped parameter model. This paper describes the main modifications and improvements of the code and shows reference calculation results which compared single assembly calculation with seven assembly calculation cased for driver and blanket subassemblies of the KALIMER 150 MWe breakeven conceptual design core. KAL- IMER is a pool-type sodium cooled reactor with a thermal output of 392.0 MWth, which have inherently safe, environmentally friendly, proliferation-resistant and economically viable reactor concepts.

  • 본 연구는 2016~2018년 증권형 크라우드펀딩 영화 프로젝트들의 현황 및 결과를 분석하였다. 영화 프로젝트는 일반회사채와 이익참가부사채의 방식으로 진행되며, 분석기간 동안 전체 채권 중 41.5%인 95억원이 발행되어 비중이 큰 것으로 나타났다. 또한 분석대상 영화의 손익분기점과 관객 수를 t-test한 결과, 통계적으로 유의하며 평균값은 관객 수가 손익분기점 대비 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 본 연구는 증권형 크라우드펀딩 영화 프로젝트의 지속적 성장을 위해 다음과 같이 제시한다. 중개업자는 영화의 손익분기점 달성 가능성과 투자설명서상 영화 흥행 요소 관련 사항 작성 여부에 대한 검토를 강화해야 하며, 흥행 가능성이 높은 대작 영화들에 대한 프로젝트도 적극 유치할 필요성이 있다. 본 연구는 아직 국내 연구가 많지 않은 증권형 크라우드펀딩 영화 프로젝트에 대해 분석했다는 점에서 의의가 있으며, 후속연구와 제도 개선 과정에서 시사점을 제공할 것으로 기대한다.
