The object of this study is to suggest national health material on the basis of awareness of parents and infants on radiation leak in Fukushima in Japan. This research investigated and analysed the 147 questionnaire forms out of 155 who are composed of 97 parents in 'H' kindergarten living in 'G' metropolitan city and 50 infants (5 years old, 27boys and 23 girls). In conclusion, the role of press is very important on the matter of radiation leak damage, and as a result, specific and practical management of curriculum regarding it is essential to provide parents and infants with useful information to improve national wellbeing.

핵폭발 등에서 방출되는 과도펄스(Transient pulse) 형태의 방사선이 반도체 소자에 조사되면 소자 내부에서는 짧은 시간에 다량의 전하가 생성된다. 이 전하들이 일정방향으로 증폭된 광전류가 소자의 고장과 오동작을 유발하거나 극단적으로 소진(Burn out)되는 원인이 된다. 본 연구에서는 과도방사선 펄스가 입사하였을 때 pMOSFET 소자 내에 생성되는 전자 정공 쌍(EHP)으로 인해 형성되는 광전류가 소자의 방사선 피해로 나타나는 과정 및 영향을 연구하기 위해 반도체 공정 시뮬레이터를 이용해 전하들의 거동과 광전류 크기를 시뮬레이션하고, 전자가속기에서 실측시험을 병행하였다. 가속기 주변의 전자장을 인한 큰 잡음으로부터 가속기 펄스신호에 의해 pMOSFET에서 발생된 소신호의 광전류를 측정하기 위해서 정밀 신호처리 회로를 구성하였다. 시뮬레이션과 실측시험에서의 결과 비교/분석에서 두 광전류 파형은 유사한 형태를 확인할 수 있었다.

현재의 방사선방호 원칙과 체계는 국제방사선방호위원회 (ICRP)의 권고에 기반을 두고 있 다. ICRP 의 권고는 대부분 히로시마/나카사키 원폭피해 생존자들에 대한 역학조사 및 수명 연구결과 그리고 관련 방사선생물학 연구결과를 바탕으로 전세계 5개 인구집단(일본, 미국, 푸에리토리코, 영국과 중국)에 대한 방사선위험계수의 예측 및 평가결과에 근거를 두고 있다. 이 저선량 방사선의 (확률적 영향) 위험계수는 인체피폭 방사선량과 그 영향간에는 선형 비례관계가 있으며 영향유발의 문턱값이 존재하지 않는다는 가정인 '선형 무문턱값 선량-영향 모델 (Linear No-Threshold Dose-Effect Model, 이른바 LNT 모텔)' 을 도입하여 유도된 것이다(譯者 밑줄). 그러나 이 LNT 가정의 과학적 근거와 정당성에 대한 비난이 원자력산업계나 일부 과학자들에 의해 제기된 이래, 최근에는 미국 보건물리학회 (HPS)에서 'LNT 가정이 선량과 영향의 관계를 단순화하며 낮은 선량의 위험음 과대평가한다'는 성명서를 발표하기도 했다. 이후 이에 대한 논쟁이 다시 시작되어, 1997 년에 스페인의 Sevill에서는 IAEA와 WHO의 공동주최와 UNSCEAR의 협조로 '저준위 방사선 영향에 대한 국제회의'가 개최되기도 하였으나 아직 어느 쪽에도 유리한 결론이 단정적으로 나지 않았으며, 실질적인 대안이 없는 현실에서 이 LNT 가정은 여전히 방사선방호의 철학적 기초로 남아 있다(譯者 밑줄). 한편, 저선량 방사선의 영향에 대해서는 우리나라에서도 '방사선방어학회, ‘98 년 춘계 심포지움' 및 '원자력학회, '98 년 춘계 학술발표회 워크??????'에서 한양대학교의 이재기 교수에 의하여 소개, 논의된 바 있다.이 논문은 이러한 논의의 후속으로 역자중 일인이 위원으로 있는 OECD/NEA 방사선방호위원회 (CRPPH)가 최근에 ('98.7.) 발간한 보고서를 번역, 주해한 것으로, 과학지식의 진보에 따라 방사선방호분야에서 관심이 되는 주제들에 대한 위원회의 검토의견을 소개하고 있다. 따라서 이 논문이 국내의 방사선방호분야 관계자들에게 최신정보 습득과 지식함양에 좋은 도움이 되기를 기대한다.

AGeneral radiation measuring devices have been developed in the form of spatial dose rate detection devices that measure dose rates to radioactive contaminant and 2D or 3D imaging devices for radioactive contamination information. Each of these radiation detection techniques has advantages. The advantages of both detection devices are necessary to minimize personal injury and rapid decontamination in the area of a radioactive accident. In this paper, we proposed a technique that can measure the dose rate and direction information about the radioactive pollutant source in real time using a detection sensor, a rotating body, and a directional shield for radioactive pollutant detection. The rotational-based detection device is configured to check the dose rate and direction using the location information of the rotator and measurement value. We proposed a measurement technique for vertical and horizontal directions through multiple holes. It was confirmed that the measurement error for direction information was less than 1% when detected in the horizontal direction.

In this study aims to investigate the radiation protection effect of avocado peel extracts on the Sprague-Dawely rats. 52 male rats were randomly classified into 4 groups. NC Group was a normal control group, PA Group was a group injected avocado peel extracts, IR Group was irradiated group, and lastly PA+IR Group was set as an irradiated group after injected of avocado peel extracts. Avocado peel extract was administered orally at 200 mg/kg once a day for 14 days before irradiation, and the radiation dose was systemically irradiated with 6 MV X-ray of 7 Gy. On the 4 and 21 days after irradiation, the experimental animals were sacrificed to evaluate the change in blood cell composition, spleen index, and histopathological evaluation of the liver and small intestine. As a result, the PA+IR Group showed a significantly greater recovery of lymphocytes(p<0.01), red blood cells(p<0.01), and platelets(p<0.05) than the IR Group. It was also confirmed that the activation of Superoxide Dismutase(SOD) was further increased. Histopathologically, observed that nuclei aggregation and cytoplasmic expansion were slightly reduced in the PA+IR Group in the liver. and the damage was significantly reduce(p<0.01) in the change of villi length due to damage to the small intestine cells. Based on the above results, avocado peel extract can be expected to act as a radiation protection agent that can reduce damage to blood cells and major organs caused by irradiation.

Radiation source imaging system is essential for protecting of radiation leakage accidents and minimizing damages from the radioactive materials, and is expected to play an important role in the nuclear plant decommissioning area. In this study, the stereoscopic camera principle was applied to develop a new radiation imaging device technology that can extract the radiation three-dimensional position information. This radiation three-dimensional imaging device (K3-RIS) was designed as a compact structure consisting of a radiation sensor, a CCD camera, and a pan-tilt only. It features the acquisition of stereoscopic radiation images by position change control, high-resolution detection by continuous scan mode control, and stereoscopic image signal processing. The performance analysis test of K3-RIS was conducted for a gamma-ray source(Cs-137) in radiation calibration facility. The test result showed that a performance error with less than 3% regardless of distances of the objects.

The three-dimensional long-range dispersion model has been developed to understand the characteristics of the transport and diffusion of radioactive materials released into atmosphere. The model is designed to compute air concentration and ground deposition at distances up to some thousands of kilometers from the source point in horizontal direction. The vertical turbulent motion is considered separately within the mixing layer and above the mixing layer. The test simulation was performed In the area of Northeast Asia. The release point was assumed in the east part of China. The calculated concentration distributions art mainly advected toward the southeast part of release point by the wind fields. The developed model will be used to estimate the radiological consequences against a nuclear accident. The model will be supplemented by the comparative study using the data of the long-range field experiments.

In this study, To subject the constructed at N-kindergarten in G-city, the position is closed window and opened window was measured using a measuring instrument for radon. The measured results indicate that the measurement was carried out in concentrations of radon gas measured at N-kindergarten is low than United States in the radon concentration in air public 4pCi called radon gas baseline maximum allowable concentrations. As a result, radon exposure is not a problem, but when the accumulation radon gas in the lungs, get damaged same lung cancer. Be defensive of kindergarten windows open for ventilation and dust removal be possible to reduce the exposure.

The electronic equipment which was exposed to high level pulsed radiation is damaged as Upset, Latchup, and Burnout. Those damages has come from the instantaneous photocurrent from electron-hole pairs generated in itself. Such damages appeared as losses of power in military weapon system or of blackout in aerospace equipment and eventually caused in gross loss of national. In this paper, we have implemented a RDC(Radiation detection and control module) as part of the radiation protection technology of the electronic equipment or devices from the pulsed gamma radiation. The RDC which is composed of pulsed gamma-ray detection sensor, signal processors, and pulse generator is designed to protect the important electronic circuits from the pulse radiation. To verify the functionality of the RDC, LM118s which had damaged by the pulse radiation were tested. The test results showed that the test sample applied with a RDC was worked well in spite of the irradiation of the same pulse radiation. Through the experiments we could confirm that the radiation protection technology implemented with RDC had the functionality of radiation protection to the electronic devices.
