1994년의 UN 해양법 협약과 1996년의 배타적 경제수역(EEZ)에 의해 해양관할권이 확대되면서 인접국가와의 배타적 경제수역과 어업협정과 같은 여러 가지 문제가 발생하고 있으며 중국선박의 불법조업으로 인한 피해가 끊임없이 발생하고 있다. 또한, 삼면이 바다로 둘러싸인 우리나라는 해양관광과 해양레저를 이용하는 관광객이 증가하여 해양환경과 안전관리에 대한 목소리가 높이지고 있다. 최근 몇 년 국가안보와 직접적으로 관련 있는 천안함 침몰과 연평도 포격사건 등 해상안전에 대한 불안감도 높아지고 있다. 이렇게 급변하는 해양환경 속에서 우리나라 해양경찰은 끊임없는 변화와 발전을 거듭하고 있으나 불안감은 쉽게 해소되고 있지 않고 있다. 우리나라와 마찬가지로 삼면이 바다로 둘러싸여있는 미국 역시 해양관련 업무가 매우 중요한 국가사 중 하나로 자리 잡고 있다. 1790년에 창설된 미국 해안경비대 (U. S. Coast Guard: USCG)는 미국 국토안보부(The Department of Homeland Security) 산하로 자국 영해/영토 방어와 해안경비 및 구난을 목적으로 하지만 우리나라의 해양경찰과는 달리 군사조직으로 분류되어 실전에도 참가하기 때문에 그 임무수행의 영역과 무력행사 기준 및 대상에 있어 우리나라 해양경찰과 차이점을 보인다. 본 연구에서는 미국 내에서 가장 오래된 정부 기관 중에 하나인 미국 해안경비대(USCG)를 소개하는 것을 목적으로 하며 미국 해양경비대의 역할과 기능을 소개하고 중요성을 논의 하였다. 향후 해양환경의 변화에 따른 우리나라의 해양주권수호와 해양안전을 책임지는 해양경찰 조직의 발전방안에 기여하기를 기대한다.

The purpose of this study is to introduce United States Coast Guard (USCG) in order to suggest a direction to advance the system of Korea Coast Guard. After the effect of United Nations on the Law of the Sea in 1994, the world is facing with new era of maritime age with emergence of new maritime border 'Exclusive Economic Zone(EEZ)'. Along with new maritime era, Korea also has been facing with the conflicts caused from EEZ. Also, there is a increasing concern about maritime safety and security since people looking for maritime tourism and leisure sports are dramatically increasing in Korea. Moreover, national security matters are a big issue in Korea due to the several incidents occurred in the sea such as the attack on Yeon-Pyung Island and the sinking of Cheonan naval vessel. Arising concern on these issues in maritime space requires Korea Coast Guard to handle these effectively. However, the systematical and structural limitation of Korea Coast Guard limits the effective management of recent issues. The United States Coast Guard which is considered as one of the military force in the United States has continuously reformed and developed its system and structure to better handle the maritime safety and security issues through developing project such as the Integrated Deep Water system. Also, maritime police system and structure in the United States is different with in Korea. This study expects to suggest a way to advance the system and structure of Korea Coast Guard through examination of United States Coast Guard and comparing maritime police system and structure between Korea and the United States in order to properly deal with the maritime safety and security issues arising recently.

Aquaculture have been important role to supply food resources for mankind. However, competitive power of domestic mariculture industry was declined due to increase of labor and feed expenditures, and quantity import of low-priced livefishes from the developing underdeveloped nations in North and South East Asia. Mass production and quality enhancement can be pointed out to overcome such an industrial environment in this decade. To meet these requirement, movable mariculture base remodeling feasible vessel of chemical tanker or crude oil carrier has been proposed for more advanced mariculture management system by using deep seawater from about 200m which is sustainablely clean, nutrient-rich and cold seawater. Deep seawater can be applied for control of seawater temperature for mariculture base and cultivation phytoplankton and seaweed as feed. Besides mariculture, strategic marketing can be implemented by raw water and ice of deep seawater. Feasibility of applying deep seawater was considered after evaluating general movable mariculture base and management system.

The alternative energy has lately attracted considerable attention due to the high oil price and environment problem. Deep sea water that is one of the natural energy sources should be getting popular continually to reduce the environment problem. In this study, cooling system of deep sea water using heat exchangers of two hotels where is located in near Hae-undae Bay has been analyzed on the quantity of electricity comparison between existing cooling system and deep seawater cooling system. As shortly, the results of study showed that the first building approximately saves 370 millions won per year, also the second building saves 248 millions won per year. It means that the cooling system by using deep sea water has great worth to reduce the ratio of fossil fuel.

Deep ocean water is located in the sea deeper than 200m. At such depth the solar light does not reach, photosynthesis is not performed and nutrition salt is not consumed. Therefore, campared with surface water, Deep Sea Water contains more nutrition salt, such as nitrogen and phosphor. Moreover, it has the good balance of minerals. This Research is primary attempt for apply deep sea water to food industry. New type of mineral salt manufacturing system was developed and high levels of Ca, K, Mg detected from the salt analysis.

This paper proposes a two-stage Water Shield Automation System (WSAS) to predict the possibility of river overflow and vehicle flooding due to sudden rainfall. The WSAS uses a two-stage Deep Neural Network (DNN) model. First, a river overflow prediction module is designed with LSTM to decide whether the river is flooded by predicting the river's water level rise. Second, a vehicle flooding prediction module predicts flooding of underground parking lots by detecting flooded tires with YOLOv5 from CCTV images. Finally, the WSAS automatically installs the water barrier whenever the river overflow and vehicle flooding events happen in the underground parking lots. The only constraint to implementing is that collecting training data for flooded vehicle tires is challenging. This paper exploits the Image C&S data augmentation technique to synthesize flooded tire images. Experimental results validate the superiority of WSAS by showing that the river overflow prediction module can reduce RMSE by three times compared with the previous method, and the vehicle flooding detection module can increase mAP by 20% compared with the naive detection method, respectively.

완충재 및 뒤채움재는 심지층처분시스템 공학적방벽 구성요소로 고준위방사성폐기물을 안전하게 격리하고 폐기물로부터 유출되는 방사성핵종의 누출을 지연시키는 데 필수적인 역할을 한다. 완충재 및 뒤채움재로는 팽윤특성을 보이는 벤토나이트 혼합물의 사용이 고려되고 있으며 주변 암반으로부터 과도한 지하수의 유입은 이러한 공학적방벽의 안정성과 효율성을 저하시킬 수 있다. 따라서, 심층처분장의 안전성 확보를 위해서는 완충재 및 뒤채움재의 엄격한 품질기준 및 현장관리 방안수립과 유입 지하수를 처리할 수 있는 기술이 요구된다. 본 고에서는 다양한 실험실 시험뿐만 아니라 스웨덴 Äspö Hard Rock Laboratory에서 수행된 처분터널 1/2 규모의 Steel Tunnel Test 사례를 심층 분석하여 완충재 및 뒤재움재의 설계 요구사항을 파악하고 현장실험 사례를 통해 파악된 품질관리 요소 및 방안을 소개하였다. 또한, 완충재 및 뒤채움재의 현장시공 안정성과 효율성을 확보하기 위한 처분갱도에서의 유입 지하수 처리방법에 대해 소개하고 벤토나이트 펠렛 채움 내의 지하수 저장능력과 토목섬유(geotextile) 사용 효과에 대한 검증 결과를 소개하였다.

Buffer and backfill play an essential role in isolating high-level radioactive waste and retard the migration of leaked radionuclides in deep geological disposal system. A bentonite mixture, which exhibits a swelling property, is considered for buffer and backfill materials, and excessive groundwater inflow from surrounding rock mass may affect stability and efficiency of their role as an engineered barrier. Therefore, stringent quality control as well as in-situ installation management and inflow water constrol for buffer and backfill are required to ensure the safety of deep disposal facilities. In this study, we analyzed the design requirements of buffer and backfill by examining various laboratory tests and a field study of the Steel Tunnel Test at the Äspö Hard Rock Laboratory in Sweden. We introduced how to control the quality of buffer and backfill construction in-field, and also presented how to handle excessive groundwater inflow into disposal caverns, validating the groundwater retention capacity of bentonite pellets and the effectiveness of geotexile use.
