As a part of In-service Inspection works in a nuclear power plant, Eddy Current Testing through all the outage of nuclear power plants has been controlled by the radiation management. From the case study about the periodical ECT work, the exposed dose rate of worker has announced over the organized dose rate before the radiation work, it affects the personnel exposed dose management and radiation work permit issue. It is not easy to get some information about ECT related working hours, scope of work and how many workers to forecast the radiation working and the predict dose exposure. It should be need the data accumulation about ECT related radiation work to prepare the ALARA achievement and the radiation work plan for dose mitigation. We can discuss a few information about ECT related radiation working issue for the application of predict dose exposure on this paper.

본 연구에서는 국내 방사선 작업 종사자의 연간 피폭량 중 상당부분(30%)를 차지하는 원자력 발전소 작업 종사자의 방사선 피폭량을 3차원 그래픽 시뮬레이션 기술 및 Java 프로그래밍과 수치해석 방법을 이용하여, 보다 안전한 작업 계획 수립에 필요한 작업 동선에 따른 방사선 피폭변화에 대하여 연구하였다. 원자력 발전소의 방사성 폐기물 처리 시설에 대해 3차원 그래픽으로 모델링 작업을 수행하고, 가상공간에서 선원과 작업자와의 거리 및 시간에 따른 방사선 피폭량을 수치 해석적으로 계산하였다. 선원의 종류에 따른 특정감마선($\tau$상수)을 입력하여 가상 작업 시뮬레이션 동안의 피폭선량을 평가하였으며, 시간에 따른 가상 작업자의 위치와 이동거리, 방사선 피폭량 등의 결과데이터 파일을 이용하여 작업 결과를 분석하였다.

Since the safety of nuclear power plant has been becoming a big social issue the exposure dose of radiation for workers has been one of the important factors concerning the safety problem. The existing calculation methods of radiation dose used in the planning of radiation work assume that dose rate does not depend on the location within a work space thus the variation of exposure dose by different work path is not considered. In this study, a modified numerical method was presented to estimate the exposure dose during radiation work in radwaste storage considering the effects of the distance between a worker and sources. And a new numerical algorithm was suggested to search the optimal work path minimizing the exposure dose in pre-defined work space with given radiation sources. Finally, a virtual work simulation program was developed to visualize the exposure dose of radiation doting radiation works in radwaste storage and provide the capability of simulation for work planning. As a numerical example, a test radiation work was simulated under given space and two radiation sources, and the suggested optimal work path was compared with three predefined work paths. The optimal work path obtained in the study could reduce the exposure dose for the given test work. Based on the results, tile developed numerical method and simulation program could be useful tools in the planning of radiation work.

Purpose: This is for the purpose to help the bill related to technologists be systematic and unitary by carefully analyzing a legislation, an enforcement ordinance, and enforcement regulations in the connection with the radiological worker and the radiation workers from the law and regulations related to technologists. Materials and Methods: Concerning technologists, a legislation, an enforcement ordinance, and enforcement regulations for a sort of medical technician, regarding the radiological worker, the rules of diagnosis radiation equipment safety management, and concerning the radiation workers, atomic energy law, an enforcement ordinance and enforcement regulations were gathered, compared with one another, and analyzed. Results: Among technologists, in the case of working in the department of diagnosis radiation, the title 'Radiological Worker' is used by the Medical Service Law, and in the case of working in the department of radiation tumors or the one of nucleus medicine, the title 'Radiation Workers' is used by the Atomic Energy Law. Conclusion: Besides the technical term that is used by characteristic tasks, unification of the terms that can be used in common is necessary for sure. And when a legislation, an enforcement ordinance, enforcement regulations, and notification, things like that in the radiation field are amended, certainly they should be done by mutual agreement through negotiation between the organization related to radiation and the governmental organization.

고리원자력본부 제2발전소는 최근 국내 최초로 방사선 작업 기록을 전산으로 관리할 수 있는 시스템을 개발하였다. 방사선 작업 관리의 수행 절차는 반복적이며 일정한 흐름을 가진 행위로서, 이를 전산 관리할 경우 효율적이고 신뢰성 있는 방사선 관리가 수행 가능하다. 이러한 점에 착안하여, 고리 2발전소 태스크포스팀은 사외 전산 프로그램 개발사(TDS)와 공동으로 1년 6개월 간에 걸쳐 이 시스템을 개발하였다. 이번에 개발한 시스템은 외국의 원전에서도 실용화가 되지 않은 선진 수준의 방사선 관리 기법이다.

This study has been carried out to find out current status of understanding radiation safety expertise by workers under the present training scheme and to minimize radiation risks at work as well as to refurbish training systems for mitigation of uneasiness of the people at large in near future. Questionnaire survey asking 30 items was carried out during 3 months from May to July, 2013. The number of the overall respondents were about 500. Overall scores of hath degree of the basic knowledge and of the attitude related with radiation safety could he procured through analysis of the questionnaire data. Results were as followings: The workers of the higher academic level, the larger of the accumulated training time and the worker's personal antecedents, the more accredited license holders showed the larger scores of the basic knowledge of radiation as well as the attitude related with the radiation safety. The group having higher basic knowledge also showed the higher score in attitude related with radiation safety. The overall scores obtained from the radiation workers in industrial sector were relatively lower, in general, than those of the other sectors. These results suggest that the training program might better be separately implemented. A specific training program implementation might be desirable particularly for the workers in industrial sectors so as not only to reduce radiation risks of workers but also to mitigate the uneasiness arising among the people at large.

The gamma energy distributions at the major working places during refueling outage of Korean PWR nuclear power plants were measured. In order to estimate the dose reduction effect of a lead vest, Monte Carlo calculation method was used. For the simulations, the MIRD-V phantom with a lead vest was formed and exposed to the measured radiation field. The average measured gamma energy is lower than that of standard which is generally applied to radiation protection procedures. For the efficient use of a lead vest and achievement of radiation protection purpose, it is necessary to estimate the energy distribution of radiation field at working places.

In this study, the purpose of this study was to conduct a basic study on the effectiveness and feasibility of the regulation of the Nuclear Safety Act for the department of radiology by examining the questionnaire on the satisfaction of on-campus practice while attending the department of radiology and the current status of radiation workers and radiation related workers. As for the satisfaction of the workers who were designated as frequent visitors while attending the department of radiology and did not handle and operate the radiation generator during on-campus training, 34.62% of the workers answered 'not satisfied'. On the other hand, 50% of workers who were designated as radiation workers while attending school or who were enrolled in school before the regulation of the nuclear safety act and handled and operated radiation generators were 'satisfied' at 50%. In addition, the annual exposure dose of radiation workers in educational institutions was found to be less than 0.05 mSv. If you look at the trends of radiation workers and radiation workers, it can be seen that students who graduate from the Department of Radiology find the most employment in the field dealing with diagnostic radiation generators registered as radiation workers among medical institutions. Therefore, by easing the regulations of the current Nuclear Safety Act or by amending the medical act and the rules on the safety management of diagnostic radiation generating devices, etc. It is presumed that something is necessary.
