  • 고리 및 영광 등 국내 원자력발전소의 디지털 방사선 감시계통(DRMS)는 이기종의 방사선 계측장치와 계측데이터 수집, 처리 장치의 혼합으로 구성되는 경우가 많아서 DRMS 가 갖추어야 될 계통 구성의 신축성과 운영편리성을 위하여 개선점이 많은 것으로 판단된다. Java 프로그래밍 언어를 확장하는 Jini 의 기술은 확장성(Scalability)과 건전성(Robustness), 이식성 (Portability), 그리고 원자력 발전소 계통 설계요건에서 가장 중요시되는 고장 대처능력 (Failure-tolerance)을 갖춘 DRMS 구성을 가능하게 한다. 본 논문은 Jini 기술을 이용하여 초기 및 운영 비용을 절감하면서도 효율성과 안전성을 증대시킬 수 있는 새로운 DRMS 구축방안을 제시한다.

  • In Shinjeong-dong of Jeongeup, there are three government-supported research institutes and an RFT industrial complex which is currently being established. Increased human activities can affect flora and fauna as a man-made pressure onto the region. As a baseline study, status of exotic plants was investigated prior to a full operation of the RFT industrial complex. A total of 54 species and 1 variety of naturalized or introduced plants were found in the study area. Among them, three species (Ambrosia artemisifolia var. elatior, Rumex acetocella and Aster pilosus) belong to 'nuisance species', and four species(Phytolacca americana, Iopomoea hederacea, Ereechtites hieracifolia and Rudbeckia laciniata) to 'monitor species' designated by the ministry of Environment. Some of naturalized trees and plants were intentionally introduced in this area, while others naturally immigrated. Physalis angulata seemes to immigrate in the study area in the form of mixture with animal feeds as its distribution coincided with the transportation route of the animal feeds. Liquidambar styraciflua is amenable to the ecological investigation on the possible expansion of the species to the nearby Naejang National Park as its leave shape and autumn color are very similar to those of maple trees. The number of naturalized plants around the RFT industrial complex will increase with an increase in floating population, in human activities in association with constructions of factories and operations of the complex. The result of this study provides baseline data for assessing the ecological change of the region according to the operation of the RFT industrial complex.

  • In this study, the purpose of this study was to analyze the degree of exposure of radiation workers assigned to the Department of Radiology and frequent visitors during on-campus practice, and to conduct a basic study on the feasibility and optimization of the radiation protection of the Nuclear Safety Act for the Department of Radiology. . The average exposure dose of occupational workers by year was 0.01 mSv, the lowest in 2014 and 2016. The highest figure was 0.12 mSv in 2018. The average exposure dose of frequent visitors by year was the lowest at 0.013 mSv in 2018, and the highest at 0.022 mSv in 2016. According to this study, the annual exposure dose received by professors, practical assistants, and students in the department of radiology (department) who use only radiation generators in the course of in-school practice is less than 1 mSv, which is the dose limit for the general public. Therefore, at the time when the radiation dose of students in the Department of Radiology is lower than the dose limit of the general public, the current safety regulation of the Nuclear Safety law is judged to be excessive regulation. Therefore, it is considered necessary to revise the regulations for radiation generators in the current Nuclear Safety law or to revise the radiation safety management system for university students.

  • The scintillation efficiency of the polystyrene based plastic scintillator depends on the ratio of the wavelength shifters, organic fluors(PPO and POPOP). Thus, 24 samples of the plastic scintillator were fabricated in order to find out the optimum ratio of the wavelength shifters in the plastic scintillator. The fabricated plastic scintillators were trimmed through a cutting and polishing process. They were used in gamma energy spectrum measurement with the $^{137}Cs$ emitting mono-energy photon with 662 keV for the comparison of the scintillation efficiency. As a result, it was found out that the scintillator sample with 1.00 g of PPO (2,5-Diphenyloxazole) and 0.50 g of POPOP (1,4-Bis(5-phnyl-2oxidazolyl)benzene) dissolved in 100 g of styrene solution has the optimum ratio in terms of the light yield of the polystyrene based plastic scintillator.

  • A field tracer experiment using radioisotope was carried out to investigate the characteristics of a pollutant transport and a determination of the dispersion coefficients in a river system. The dispersion coefficients in the longitudinal and transverse directions were determined by using the measured concentration of a radioisotope. The two-dimensional numerical models were applied to calculate the flow and concentration fields at the experimental site. Several numerical simulations were performed to investigate the effects of the numerical results according to variations of the dispersion coefficients. The calculated concentrations agreed well with the measured ones.

  • The trend of x-ray image sensor has been evolved from an amorphous silicon sensor to a crystal silicon sensor. A crystal silicon X-ray sensor, meaning a X-ray CIS (CMOS image sensor), is consisted of three transistors (Trs), i.e., a Reset Transistor, a Source Follower and a Select Transistor, and a photodiode. They are highly sensitive to radiation exposure. As the frequency of exposure to radiation increases, the quality of the imaging device dramatically decreases. The most well known effects of a X-ray CIS due to the radiation damage are increments in the reset voltage and dark currents. In this study, a pixel array of a X-ray CIS was made of $20{\times}20pixels$ and this pixel array was exposed to a high radiation dose. The radiation source was Co-60 and the total radiation dose was increased from 1 to 9 kGy with a step of 1 kGy. We irradiated the small pixel array to get the increments data of the reset voltage and the dark currents. Also, we simulated the radiation effects of the pixel by MCNP (Monte Carlo N-Particle) simulation. From the comparison of actual data and simulation data, the most affected location could be determined and the cause of the increments of the reset voltage and dark current could be found.

  • Reliability of printed circuit board (PCB), which is based on high integrated circuit technology, is having been important because of development of electric and self-driving car. In order to answer these demand, automated X-ray inspection (AXI) is best solution for PCB non-destructive test. PCB is consist of plastic, copper, and, lead, which have low to high Z-number materials. By using dual energy X-ray imaging, these materials can be inspected accurately and efficiently. Dual energy X-ray imaging, that have the advantage of separating materials, however, need some solution such as energy separation method and enhancing efficiency because PCB has materials that has wide range of Z-number. In this work, we found out several things by analysis of X-ray energy spectrum. Separating between lead and combination of plastic and copper is only possible with energy range not dose. On the other hand, separating between plastic and copper is only with dose not energy range. Moreover the copper filter of high energy part of dual X-ray imaging and 50 kVp of low energy part of dual X-ray imaging is best for efficiency.

  • 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.

  • Since Roentgen discovered X-rays, radiation sources have been utilized for many areas such as agriculture, industry, medicine and fundamental chemical research. As a result, human society has gained lots of benefits. However, if a radioactive material is used for the malicious purpose, it causes serious consequences to humanity and environment. Consequently, international organizations including International Atomic energy Agency (IAEA) have been emphasizing establishment and implementation of security management to prevent sabotage and illicit trafficking of radioactive materials. For this reason, the rule of technical standards of radiation safety management was revised and the public notice of security management regarding radioisotope was legislated in 2015 by Nuclear Safety and Security Commission (NSSC). Several radioactive sources which have to be regulated under the above rule and the public notice have been utilized in Advanced Radiation Technology Institute (ARTI) of Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI). In order to control them properly, security management system such as access control and physical protection has been adapted since 2015. In this paper, we have analyzed the public notice of NSSC and its field application case. Based on the results, we are going to draw improvement on the public notice of NSSC and security system.
