  • The designed drone-based unmanned remote radiation detection module was developed according to the needs of the nuclear power plant decommissioning workshop. Using the Geiger-Mueller tube sensitive to low-level radiation measurement, It was manufactured to measure the amount of radiation leaking into and out of the containment vessel. The drone-based radiation detection module weighs less than 200g, It can be operated inside and outside the containment vessel of a nuclear power plant. To check the performance of the designed equipment, a performance evaluation test was conducted with reference to the international standard (IEC-60864). The stability of the radiation detection module designed to meet the needs of the field the statistical rate of change by repeated measurements in the rate of change experiment to evaluate the measurement accuracy was ±4.6%. The accuracy ±7.3% in the linearity experiment to evaluate the dose rate dependence, the linear The figure satisfies the international performance evaluation standard of ±3.5%. The radiation detection module developed in this study is a customized equipment for a nuclear power plant dismantling workshop. It will be helpful for accurate measurement of space dose rate and safety management of radiation worksites in sites with a lot of radiation dust.

  • 원자력시설의 비상사태시 대기중으로 방출된 방사성 물질로부터 주변 주민 및 환경이 받는 영향을 신속·정확하게 평가하고 그 피해를 최소화하기 위해 실시간 방사선 피폭해석 시스템을 개발하였다. 수립된 대기 확산모델의 검증 및 정확도 향상을 위하여 야외 확산실험이 수행되었다. 대기 확산모델의 계산결과와 실험을 통하여 관측된 추적자 가스의 농도 분포를 상호 비교한 바 어느 정도 일치하고 있었다. 그러나 일부 경우에서는 관측된 농도값과 계산된 농도값이 차이를 보이고 있는데, 이는 실험 대상 지역에서 충분한 기상 관측을 수행하지 못하여 시간에 따른 풍속의 변화를 확산모델에 자세히 반영하지 못하였기 때문이었다.

  • A PET-MR system is particularly useful in diagnosing brain diseases. We have developed a prototype positron emission tomography (PET) system which can be inserted into the bore of a whole-body magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system that enables us to obtain PET and MRI images simultaneously with a reduced cost. Silicon photomultipliers (SiPM) are appropriated as a PET detector at PET/MR system because detectors have a high gain and are insensitive to magnetic fields. Despite of its improved performance compared to that of PMT-based detectors, there is a problem of the photo-peak channel shift which is due to the increase of the temperature inside the ring detector. This problem will occur decreasing sensitivity of the PET and image distortion. In this paper, I quantitative analyze parameters of the KAIST SiPM depending on temperature by experiments. And I designed cooling methods in consideration of the degradation of sensors for correction of the temperature in the PET gantry. According to this research, we expect that distortive images and degradation of the sensitivity will not be occurred with using the above idea to reduce heat even if the PET system operates for a long time.

  • 최근 원자력발전소주변 환경방사선에 대한 국민적 관심이 고조되고 있으나 환경중 방사능 축적에 대한 허용기준치가 정립되어 있지 않아 효과적인 대 국민 홍보에 한계가 있다. 따라서 원전 주변 주민의 생활습관을 파악하여 섭취량을 품종별로 분류하여, 조사, 분석함으로서 환경시료중 방사능 허용농도를 설정함으로서 원자력발전소 주변 환경방사능 농도를 설정된 허용농도와 비교하여 원전의 안전성에 대한 대 국민 이해 및 신뢰 회복에 이바지 하고자 한다. 또한 최대허용농도를 기준으로 삼던 기존의 방식이 퇴색하고 ALI[l]를 이용한 국내 실정에 맞는 식품 중 허용농도 설정의 필요성이 대두되고 있는 현 실정을 감안하여 ALI를 이용하여 식품 중 최대허용농도를 설정하고자 한다.

  • Diagnostic radiation devices that is used in the country has reached to 78,000 units. When used for human subjects diagnostic purposes, it is subject to Medical Service Act, when used in diagnostic purposes in animal subjects, the subject to Veterinarians Act. When used for other purposes are subject to the Nuclear Safety Act. Even the same radiation devices varies the legislation that is applied depending on the intended use and object. Diversified been p rovisions a re necessary compared to t he analysis o f l egal content in o rder t o prevent confusion of the legislation is a matter to be applied. It is a qualitative study that Nuclear Safety Act, Medical Service Act and Veterinarians Act administrative procedures for the introduction of the applied diagnostic radiation devices, safety inspection, human resources management, area management and the content related to administrative punishment. The Nuclear Safety Act sub-provisions, the introduction of diagnostic radiation generating devices, there are many complex and complete requirements administrative procedures on the concept of a permit. Inspection of safety associated with the use, would be subject to periodic inspection auditing characteristics over the entire field of radiation safety management. It must receive court regular education for the safety administrator and workers. Unlike the reference of the radiation dose rate to specify the radiation controlled area there is a measurement obligation of radiation dose rate. Unlike the reference of the radiation dose rate to specify the radiation controlled area there is a measurement obligation of radiation dose rate. Quantitative difference of administrative punishment that is imposed when legislation violation has reached up to 10 times, over the entire field, the largest burden of radiation safety management at the time of application of the Nuclear Safety Act sub provisions. And it is applied differently depending on the purpose and the imaging target using the same diagnostic radiation devices. Depending on the use mainly under the current legal system, radiation can be lacking in fairness of the contents of the legislation for safety management, there is a risk of confusion. Alternatives such as centralized and standardization of legislation by diagnostic radiation devices use is expected to be necessary.
