Korea has been actively engaged in international collaborative research activities. As part of this effort, Korea has been actively participating in collaborative research and development (R D) activities of the Gen-IV International Forum (GIF). Large experimental facihties have been constmcted to conduct various experiments to validate thermal—hydrauhc phenomena and a large sodium loop, called Sodium Test Loop for Safety Simulation and Assessment (STELLA)-1, for the test of key decay heat removal system (DHRS) components, started its operation in 2014. Design work started in early 2015 for STELLA-2, which is an integral test loop for a simulation of the thermal—hydraulic characteristics of the PGSFR primary and intermediate heat transport systems.

The positive results and savings due to use of NDT and TD are hundred times grater than made investments. This is the main reason why the philosophy of safety management was changed, i.e. from the philosophy to react and correcf to the principle to predict and reduce the losses . The use of NDT and TD allows to foresee the results of economic-technical activity, to make mostly efficient decisions, to reduce the risks, to simulate mutual processes relations in technogenic, ecological and social-economical fields. 

One of the principal advantages of hydrides for hydrogen storage is safety (25). As part of a study to determine the safety of the iron—titanium—manganese metal hydride storage system, tests were conducted in conjunction with the U.S. Army (26). These tests simulated the worst possible conditions resulting from a serious coUision and demonstrated that the metal hydride vessels do not explode. 

Process Safety Considerations. Unit optimization studies combined with dynamic simulations of the process may identify operating conditions that are unsafe regarding fire safety, equipment damage potential, and operating sensitivity. Several instances of fires and deflagrations in ethylene oxide production units have been reported in the past (160). These incidents have occurred in both the reaction cycle and ethylene oxide refining areas. Therefore, ethylene oxide units should always be designed to prevent the formation of explosive gas mixtures. 

Some toll processes lend themselves to test runs in the pre-startup phase. Actual materials for the toll may be used in the test or substitute materials, typically with low hazard potential, are often used to simulate the charging, reaction, and physical changes to be accomplished in the toll. Flow control, temperature control, pressure control, mixing and transferring efficiency can be measured. Mechanical integrity can be verified in regard to pumps, seals, vessels, heat exchangers, and safety devices. 

While this outlines the concept, such real time simulation generally is not practical for determining the reliability of safety systems.

The design of the system must take into account possible variation of critical control parameters that could affect performance. The maximum performance of the process should be defined by a reasonable safety margin. In order to comply with cGMP guidelines, established validation protocols, and parameters should allow the process to achieve reproducible purity and yield under stressed conditions. This implies that the industrial SMB system must be stressed to simulate worst-case conditions for process validation. 

These results, considered in relation to the direct addition tests of monomer and hydrogen cyanide in the previous table, demonstrate that there is no reason to expect styrene monomer extraction into soft drinks, even at levels well below those we can measure analytically. They also reinforce our hydrogen cyanide data. Further, they indicate that these beverages are not more extractive of Lopac containers than the normal simulating solvents. The tests confirm the chemical safety of the containers as beverage packages. 

This fascinating product will still continue to develop to accommodate new applications, safety, health and environment (SHE) issues, advantages of novel materials like nano-composites, plasma-surface-modified carbon black, development of computer simulation techniques, and finally to develop a cybernetic or thinking tire.
