  • On the basis of the radiotracer technology and the related equipments which have been developed for its industrial application through the nuclear long-term research project, a radiotracer study on sediment transport was carried out as a part of the development of the radiotracer technology for a coastal environment. The crystalline material doped with iridium having a similar composition and specific gravity as those of the bedload sand collected from the research area was produced by the oxide-route method. A radioisotope container was specially designed to inject the radiotracer from 1 m above the sea bedload without radioactive contamination during the transport from the nuclear reactor at KAERI. The position data from the DGPS and the radiation measurement data were collected concurrently and stored by means of the application software programmed with the LabVIEW of the National Instrument. The position data was reprocessed to represent the real position of the radiation probe under water and not that of the DGPS antenna on board. The time dependency of the spatial distribution of the sediment was studied in the area through three tracking measurements after the iridium glass was injected. This trial application showed the potential of the radiotracer technology as an important role for maintaining and developing the coastal environment in the future.

  • To understand the thermal characteristics around the piston ring gap ring gap positions and piston temperatures are measured simultaneously. The locations of piston ring gap are measured by the radio-tracer method and piston temperature are measured by a K-type thermocouple and scissors type linkage system. From these experiments following facts are clarified. Piston temperatures fluctuate according to the piston ring rotation. And the temperature fluctuation is mainly affected by top ring gap position irrelevant to the second ring fop position. If the top ring gap position increases and the temperature of top ring groove shows maximum value when top rin gap position coincide with temperature measuring point. The maximum amplitude of temperature fluctuation which is proportional to the blow by gas rate is around 12-15$^{\circ}C$.

  • The three important phases in the development of ligand immunoassays are identified and summarized. The competitive radiolabelled hormone measurement had been developed in the first and early in the second generations(1950s to 1960s), such as radioimmunoassays(RIA) or immunoradiometric(saturation) assays(IRMA), and used in all most of the hormone and also analyte in biological samples. In the second generation, ultrasensitive non-isotopic immunoassays(NIA) were developed using monoclonal antibodies(McAb), labelling the McAb and high specific activity non-isotopic labels. After their usefulness, advantages and disadvantages has been evaluated and non-competitive methods are discussed. The chip/microarray based multianalyte ligand assays(microspot or genechip methods) are developed and known as alternative ones in the third generation. We summarize the developments of NIAs and its usefulness, and then introduce briefly the new ligand assays.

  • The estimation of the diffusion coefficients of the Gaussian plume model and the release rate by assimilation of tracer-gas measurements on Younggwang site was tested. Diffusion coefficients were modified by linear programming of both the measurements and the simulated using the Gaussian plume model. The application of the modified diffusion coefficients improved the prediction ability of the Gaussian plume model on both 3 km and 8 km arc lines. And, the release rate of tracer gas was estimated using least squares method. The optimal source rate was estimated by minimizing the errors between the measured concentrations and the computed ones by the Gaussian plume model. The obtained release rate showed a good agreement with the real release rate of the Younggwang experiment in 24%.

  • The sand drift movement at Young Il Bay area was tentatively investigated using Co-60 glass sand. Grain size and specific gravity of the glass sand which has originally contained natural cobalt, Co-59, was made similar to those of the real coastal sand, and was irradiated in a beam port of the reactor Triga Mark II to make the glass sand radioactive by the reaction of 59Co(n, r)60Co. The radioactive cobalt glass sand was deposited on the preselected point of sea bed, and, after a couple of weeks, the drift of sand was traced by means of specially designed water-proof G-M detector. Net counts at each point were plotted to figure out equicount lines and consequently such aspects as the direction of sand drift movement, the scope of distribution and the relative drift velocity etc. were indicated.

  • 외곽선 추적 알고리즘은 영상 인식 및 표현에 있어서 물체의 기본 성질을 파악하는데 중요하다. 따라서 많은 알고리즘들이 연구되어 왔으며, 이중에는 간단한 경계선 추적자 알고리즘(SBF: Simple Boundary Follower)이다. 이외에도 수정된 간단한 경계선 추적자 알고리즘 (MSBF: Modified Simple Boundary Follower), 개선된 간단한 경계선 추적자 알고리즘(ISBF: Improved Simple Boundary Follower), 무어-네이버 추적 알고리즘(MNT: Moore-Neighbor Tracer), 방사형 탐색 알고리즘(RSA: Radial Sweep Algorithm), 그리고 Theo Pavlidis 알고리즘(TPA)이 있다. 이러한 알고리즘들은 추적 경로 특성들이 다르며 각기 장점과 제약성이 있다.외곽선 알고리즘들의 제약성은 크게 두 가지로 나눌 수 있다. 하나는 알고리즘 특성에 따라 외곽선 픽셀간 인접 형태에 따라 추적하지 못하는 경우가 존재할 수 있다는 것이다. 또 다른 하나는 외곽선 추적 알고리즘의 시작과 종료 조건에 따라서 특정 위치 픽셀들을 찾지 못하는 경우도 존재한다는 점이다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점들을 중심으로 외곽선 추적 알고리즘들의 성능을 분석하였다. 또한, ISBF의 시작 조건과 TPA의 인너코너 추적을 개선하는 기법들을 제안하여 이를 해결토록 하였다. 실험 결과 제안한 기법들은 외곽선 추적 성능을 개선하는데 효과적이었다.

  • 국내의 방사성 동위원소 (Radioisotope; RI) 사용기관에서 발생, 수거되어 현재 원자력연구소 저장고 내에 보관중인 폐기물중 가연분을 대상으로 소각실증실험을 수행하였다. 폐기물 발생일을 기준하여 최소 2년이상이 경과한 RI 폐기물을 소각한 결과 폐기물의 부피와 무게를 각각 약 1/250, 1/30로 줄일 수 있었으며, 소각운전중 배출기체의 농도는 환경관련법상의 배출허용기준치 이하, 배출방사선량은 검출기의 측정한계 이하였다. 방사성동위원소 추적자로 I-131 ($Na^{131}$ I형태, 총 2mCi)을 사용한 모의 폐기물을 소각한 결과 대부분의 방사능은 소각재에 잔존하기 보다는 휘발되어 배기체와 함께 거동하며 주로 포대여과기의 여과층에서 잡히는 것으로 나타났다.
