Analysis of Unit Process Cost for an Engineering-Scale Pyroprocess Facility Using a Process Costing Method in Korea

Pyroprocessing, which is a dry recycling method, converts spent nuclear fuel into U (Uranium)/TRU (TRansUranium) metal ingots in a high-temperature molten salt phase. This paper provides the unit process cost of a pyroprocess facility that can process up to 10 tons of pyroprocessing product per year by utilizing the process costing method. Toward this end, the pyroprocess was classified into fo...

Ergonomic Analysis of a Telemanipulation Technique for a Pyroprocess Demonstration Facility

Teleoperation is the performance of a task or action from a distance. Although, in this sense, teleoperation can be applied to any operation performed from a distance, the term is most commonly associated with robotics and mobile robots and indicates the operation of such machines from a place far from the location of the machine [1]. Several factors are involved in a teleoperated robotic syste...

Cifecenter for Integrated Facility Engineering

This paper describes work conducted as a joint collaboration between the Virtual Design Team (VDT) research group at Stanford University (USA), the Systems Engineering Group (SEG) at De Montfort University (UK) and Elipsis Ltd. We describe a new docking methodology in which we combine the use of two radically different types of organizational simulation tool. The VDT simulation tool operates on...

CIFECENTER FOR INTEGRATED FACILITY ENGINEERING Automated Identification of Occupant Interactions in Renovations of Occupied Buildings

In renovations of occupied buildings, identification of occupant interactions, which occur when tenants and/or crews share the same space, is a critical task to ensure the timely execution of renovation work while maintaining the operational requirements of building tenants. Failure to identify occupant interactions can lead to loss in productivity for tenants and crews, as well as cost and sch...
