Abstract
In the measurement of gamma rays emitted from the nuclide in the radioactive waste drum, to analyze the nuclide concentration accurately, it is necessary to use the proper calibration standards and to correct for the attenuation of the gamma rays. Two drums having a different density were used to analyze the nuclide concentration inside the drum in this study. After carrying out the system calibration, we measured the gamma rays emitted from the standard source inside the model drum with changing the distance between the drum and the detector. The measured values were corrected with the three kinds of gamma attenuation correction methode, as a results, the error was less than 10 % in the low density drum and less than 25 % in the high density drum. The measured activity in the short distance was more accruable than in the long distance. The transmission correction for the mass attenuation showed good results(very Low error) compared to the mean density and the differential peak correction method.
실제 드럼 내에 존재하는 핵종으로부터 방출되는 감마선을 외부에서 측정하여 그로부터 드럼 내 핵종의 양을 정확하게 분석하기 위해서는 먼저 적절한 교정표준의 선택과 드럼 내 매질의 밀도와 핵종의 분포에 대한 감마선 감쇠보정이 반드시 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 드림 내 핵종의 분석을 위하여 밀도가 다른 두 개의 모델드럼을 이용하였으며 전송선원으로써는
