In this paper, we performed a study of damage assessment model development to analyze the initial nuclear pulse radiation damage to semiconductor devices for military weapon systems. At first we modeled(M) the nuclear pulse radiation and diode device, and simulated(S) the output characteristics of the device to the input. Then the manufactured diodes which had the same characteristics with the modeled one were irradiated to the similar pulsed type radiation and their output signals were measured simultaneously. Error between the M & S results and the measured values of the analysis was 22.9%. Through the error value we could confirm that the damage assessment model simulated the TREE effects with a quite accuracy.

우주방사선이나 과도펄스(Transient Radiation) 형태의 감마 방사선이 반도체에 조사되면 소자 내부에서 짧은 시간에 다량의 전하가 생성된다. 이 전하들과 증폭된 과전류는 소자의 고장(Upset, Latchup)과 오동작을 유발시키게 되고 나아가 전자부품이 소진(Burnout)되는 직접적인 원인이 된다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 핵폭 방출 과도방사선에 대한 전자부품/장비의 내방사선관련 기초연구로 군전자부품의 감마-과도방사선에 대한 피해분석 시험을 수행하고 나아가 과도방사선 방호기술 체계구축의 필요성에 대해 논하였다. 과도펄스 방사선시험은 군용으로 분류된 반도체 칩을 대상으로 포항 전자빔가속기를 사용하였다. 핵폭발 방출 과도방사선을 모사하기 위해 감마선 변환장치를 MCNP 설계를 통해 제작하고 단일모드의 마이크로초 단위 감마펄스 방사선을 방출시켜 시험대상 칩을 부착한 시험보드에 조사하는 과정으로 실험을 진행하였다. 온라인 고속 측정장치를 통한 전자소자의 과도방사선시험에서 다양한 피해현상을 측정할 수 있었고, 열상카메라 촬영을 통하여 과열상태를 관측함으로써 피해현상의 검증과 더불어 소진현상으로의 전개 가능성을 확인하였다.

Many information channels have dealt with the radiological consequences of the Chernobyl accident in different voices ever since the time of the accident. Large differences in the data about the amount of released radioactivity, losses of life, environmental effects and economic damage confuse the information receiving group. The intention of this paper is to provide an insight to the consequences of the accident through review of the reports and articles on the given issue and the scientific background. The formal reports reviewed include those from IAEA, EC, OECD/NEA, the governments of the two most-affected countries; Belarus and Ukraine. Much consideration was paid to make the text as plain as possible.

In this paper, CMOS logic device, the INVERTER, NAND, NOR were designed and fabricated using 0.18um CMOS process for analyzing the effect of transient radiation damage. Fabricated logic devices were measured by applying a 1kHz input at 1.8V supply. As a result, the current consumption of less than 70uA and Rising time, Falling time was within a 4us. Experimental results transmission delays occurred when using a 50M cable for pulse radiation experiments.

The development of radioprotector is being actively conducted in order to reduce the damage from over radiation exposure at radiation accident or radiation therapy. So this study was confirmed for radiation protective effects using the Cynanchi wilfordii Radix that has been known to be effective for antioxidant activity, anti-cancer, immune enhancing effects. The method of this study was administered orally Cynanchi wilfordii Radix ethanol extracts to Sprague Dawley Rat(SD Rat) for 14 days once a day, while measuring changed blood cell, spleen index, liver and uterus tissue along the change in time of 1, 4, 7 and 21 days after X-ray beam of 7 Gy irradiation. As the result of the experiment, the experimental group's rats which are administered with Cynanchi Wilfordii Radix ethanol extracts showed a rapid recovery in white blood cell count(p < 0.05) and spleen index(p < 0.05). In addition, condensation of nuclei, cytoplasmic swelling, and inflammatory cell infiltration in experimental group's liver cell was decreased more than in irradiation group's component. Further, experimental group's Uterine gland decreased the apoptosis more than irradiation group's components did. It is expected that Cynanchi Wilfordii Radix extracts will be useful as a new radioprotector. With above in mind, this paper may provide appropriate implications with the field of emergency management such as radiation accident.

본 연구는 환자들의 진단용 방사선피폭 인식에 대한 관련 요인을 분석하여, 환자들의 방사선 피폭에 대한 인식의 변화를 위한 교육 자료를 만드는데 기초자료로 제공하기 위함이다. 1. 방사선에 대한 인지도에 영향을 미치는 요인으로는 방사선 유해성 인지도, 방사선 피폭방지 인지도, 학력, 방사선검사 경험, 방사선 피폭에 대한 설명을 들은 경험, 방사선 지식도로 나타났다. 2. 방사선의 유해성에 대한 인지도에 영상을 미치는 요인으로는 방사선의 인지도, 성별, 직업, 방사선 검사 경험, 방사선 검사의 종류, 방사선 피폭의 두려움 정도와 방사선 검사 후 향후 이상의 걱정으로 나타났다. 3. 방사선의 필요성에 대한 인지도에 영향을 미치는 요인으로는 방사선 유해성 인지도, 방사선 피폭방지 인지도, 성별, 직업, 가구 월 소득, 방사선 검사의 종류, 방사선 피폭에 대한 설명을 들은 경험, 방사선 지식도, 방사선 검사 후 향후 이상의 걱정으로 나타났다. 4. 방사선 피폭방지에 대한 인지도에 영향을 미치는 요인으로는 방사선 인지도, 방사선의 필요성 인지도, 성별, 나이, 직업, 가구 월 소득, 방사선 검사의 종류, 방사선 피폭에 대한 설명을 들은 경험, 방사선 지식도로 나타났다. 본 연구를 통하여 본 결과 환자들은 방사선 피폭에 대해서 너무 민감하게 반응하고 있으며 그 원인이 방사선에 대한 무지에 있음이 드러났다. 그러므로 환자들로 하여금 진단용 방사선 피폭에 대하여 올바르게 인식을 할 수 있도록 돕는 교육 프로그램의 개발이 시급하며, 방사선사들에게는 환자의 피폭선량 경감을 위한 세심한 배려가 필요하다고 하겠다. 환자들 또한 진단용 방사선에 대하여 올바로 인식하는 것이 촬영 시 정신적인 피해를 줄일 수 있으며, 방사선 피폭을 줄일 수 있을 것이다.

Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in women worldwide and the number of women breast cancer patient was increased continuously. Most of breast cancer patient has suffered from unnecessary radiation exposure to heart, lung. Low radiation dose to the heart could lead to the worsening of preexisting cardiovascular lesions caused by radiation induced pneumonitis. Also, several statistical reports demonstrated that left-sided breast cancer patient showed higher mortality than right-sided breast cancer patient because of heart disease. In radiation therapy, Deep Inspiration Breath Hold (DIBH) technique which the patient takes a deep inspiration and holds during treatment and could move the heart away from the chest wall and lung, has showed to lead to reduction in cardiac volume and to minimize the unnecessary radiation exposure to heart during treatment. In this study, we investigated the displacement of heart using DIBH CT data compared to free-breathing (FB) CT data and radiation exposure to heart. Treatment planning was performed on the computed tomography (CT) datasets of 10 patients who had received lumpectomy treatments. Heart, lung and both breasts were outlined. The prescribed dose was 50 Gy divided into 28 fractions. The dose distributions in all the plans were required to fulfill the International Commission on Radiation Units and Measurement specifications that include 100% coverage of the CTV with ${\geq}95%$ of the prescribed dose and that the volume inside the CTV receiving >107% of the prescribed dose should be minimized. Scar boost irradiation was not performed in this study. Displacement of heart was measured by calculating the distance between center of heart and left breast. For the evaluation of radiation dose to heart, minimum, maximum and mean dose to heart were calculated. The present study demonstrates that cardiac dose during left-sided breast radiotherapy can be reduced by applying DIBH breathing control technique.
