In potential accident consequence assessments for the licensing approval of LWRs, the ground deposition of radionuclides released into the environment is not allowed into the models, as recommended in the U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission's regulatory guide. Meanwhile, it is allowed into the assessment models for the licensing approval of PHWRs with consideration of more detailed physical processes of radionuclides in the atmosphere. Under these backgrounds, importance of exposure dose by ground deposition was quantitatively evaluated and comprehensively discussed. For potential accidental releases of $^{137}Cs$ and $^{131}I$, total exposure doses were more conservative in case of without consideration of ground deposition than in case of with its consideration. It was because of that the depletion of air concentration resulting from ground deposition is more influential in the contribution to total exposure doses than additional doses from contaminated ground. The exposure doses by the inhalation of contaminated air showed the contribution of more than 90% in total exposure doses, depending on atmospheric stability, release period of radionuclides and distance from a release point. The exposure doses from contaminated ground showed less than 10% at most in contribution of total exposure doses. The ratios of total exposure doses in case of with consideration of deposition to without its consideration for $^{131}I$ were distinct than those for $^{137}Cs$. As the atmosphere is more stable, release duration of radionuclides is longer, distance from a release point is longer, it was more distinct.

Combined with deposition model onto the ground of radionuclides, the influence of radioactive contamination to agricultural products was analyzed due to wet deposition as well as dry deposition from radioactive air concentration during a nuclear emergency. The previous dynamic food chain model, in which initial input parameter is only radionuclide concentrations on the ground, was improved for the evaluating of radioactive contamination to agricultural products from either radionuclide concentrations in air or radionuclide concentrations on the ground. As the results, in case of deposition onto the ground, wet deposition was more dominant process than thy deposition. While the contamination levels of agricultural products were dependent on the a variety of factors such as radionuclides and rainfall rate. It means that the contamination levels of agricultural products are determined from which is more dominant process between deposition on the ground and interception onto agricultural plants.

This study aims to explore a set of indicators to be used for purification management. by estimating the total quantity of depositied waste in coastal waters, Through 3 rounds of Delphi technique, this study sorts out the following 5 variables to be used as major indicators determining priorities for purification in coastal areas: the ratio of re-deposition after collection, the area where fishing gear are lost, the total quantity of depositied waste of each coastal water, the total quantity of deposited waste in the past, and the quantity of depositied waste by unit area. Although the fact that the delphi surveys were done only on 27 specialists limits its external validity, this study will serve as a base for in-depth studies with more expanded panels that will provide better indicators for purification management in coastal waters of Korea.

산업화ㆍ도시화에 따라 인구 증가, 교통량 증가 및 도시 구조물의 증가 등으로 인하여 도시의 대기오염과 열섬 현상 등이 날로 심각한 사회문제로 제기되고 있다. 일반적으로 대기 중에 부유하는 오염물질들은 광화학 반응을 통하여 2차 오염물질이 생성되기도 하고, 기상인자에 의하여 확산 또는 수송되어 대기오염도가 감소하거나, 중력에 의하여 지표 부근에 침적되어 제거된다. 특히, 건성 및 습성 침적되는 강하먼지는 단위 지역의 대기오염을 파악하거나, 타 지역과의 비교에 지표로 활용되고 있다. (중략)

대기 중 입자상 물질의 건식 침적 속도는 그 과정의 복잡성으로 인해 모형을 이용한 연구 시 종종 일정한 값으로 간주되어 왔다. 그러나 입자상 물질의 전체 침적 속(flux)에서 건식 침적 속(flux)이 차지하는 부분은 무시할 수 없는 양이며, 따라서 입자상 물질의 기후 및 환경에 대한 영향을 평가하기 위해서는 이 과정의 정량적인 추정이 필요하다. 본 연구는 프랑스 기상청(Meteo-France)의 대기화학수송모형(CTM)인 MOCAGE에 에어로졸 모듈을 개발하는 일환으로 지표 특성 및 지표 가까이의 미기상학적 조건 등을 고려하여 입자 크기 별 입자상 물질의 건식 침적 속도를 모수화 하였다.(중략)

오존 등 기체상 오염물질의 식물 표면에 대한 건성침적은 식물의 생물학적 활동에 피해를 줄 수 있으며(Runeckles and Chevone, 1992; Chappelka and Chevone, 1992), 건성침적 현상은 노출된 식물지표 환경의 화학적 특성을 변화시키는 작용으로 관심의 대상이 되고있다(Businger, 1986; Galbally et al., 1986; Chang et al., 1987; Wesely, 1989; Hicks et al., 1989). 이러한 기체상 오염물질의 침적현상은 대기질 관리에 있어서 오염물질의 적절한 감소계획을 산정ㆍ평가하기 위하여 지상 오염물질의 농도를 정확하게 추정하는 과정에서 필수적으로 고려되어야 하는 부분이다.

우리나라는 식수의 90% 이상을 지표수로부터 얻고 있다. 그만큼 식수를 위한 취수가 외부의 위험에 노출되어 있음을 의미한다. 원칙적으로 어떠한 대기오염물질의 침적도 수질에 영향을 미칠 수 있다 황과 질소분은 대표적인 산성물질로 수질을 산성화시킬 수 있다 그러나 우리나라 주요 하천과 호소는 적지 않은 양의 산성물질 침적에도 불구하고 pH는 상수원수 등급기준인 6.5-8.5사이로 양호하다 (환경부, 2001). 하천, 호소의 완충 능력이 침적에 비하여 충분함을 의미하나 구체적 메커니즘은 분명치 않다. (중략)

Approximately 6,000 chemicals are transported through the sea, including hazardous and noxious substances (HNS), which cause marine pollution and are harmful to marine life. The HNS discharged into the sea during the maritime transportation process undergoes physical and chemical changes on the sea surface and in seawater, and some types of HNS sink and are deposited on the seabed. The HNS deposited on the seabed adversely affects the benthic ecosystem, and hence, it is desirable to detect, treat, and recover the HNS on the seabed. Therefore, this study was conducted to analyze the performance requirements that should be considered as the top priority when developing a mechanical system for recovering the HNS deposited on the seabed. Various types of existing dredging devices used for collecting and recovering pollutants from river beds and seabeds were investigated, and 10 performance indices for the mechanical devices were selected. The new performance requirements for the development of the seabed-deposited HNS recovery system were proposed using performance indices. By considering the depth of water in domestic seaports, some of the performance requirements of the mechanical system for recovering deposited HNS from the seabed were obtained as follows: production rate (50-300 ㎥/hr), maximum operation depth (50 m), sediment type (most forms), percentage of solids (10 % or higher), horizontal operating accuracy (±10 cm), limiting currents (3-5 knots). These performance requirements are expected to be useful in the conceptual and basic design of mechanical systems for recovering seabed-deposited HNS.

오염물질의 지표농도 결정에 있어 침적과정은 아주 중요하다. 이전의 연구들에서 가스상 물질 중 특히 SO$_2$의 경우 대기중으로부터 건성침적 과정에 의해서 제거되는 양이 대기로의 총 방출량의 약 1/3배정도 됨을 나타내었다(Arritt et al. 1988; Hicks et al., 1991). 입자상 물질의 침적 역시 오염물질의 장거리 수송의 중요한 부분을 차지하고 있다. 특히 황사기간중의 침적과정은 물질의 국가간이동으로 매우 중요시되면서, 건성침적량 및 영향에 대한 연구가 수행되어져 왔다(Kim et al.,1991).

Radioactive materials are released into the air and deposited on the surface soil after a nuclear accident. Radionuclides deposited in soil are transported by precipitation to nearby environments and contaminate the surface water system. Basic data on surface watershed and soil erosion models have been collected and analyzed to evaluate the behavior of radionuclides deposited on surface soil after a nuclear accident. Data acquisition and analysis in aquatic environment were performed to investigate the physical characteristics and variation of biota in rivers and lakes of the Nakdong river area near the Wolsong nuclear power plant. For these purposes, a digital map, and hydrological, water quality and biota data were gathered and a systematic database (DB) was constructed in connection with them. Constructed aquatic DB will be supplied and used in surface watershed and soil erosion models for investigation of long-term movement of radionuclides in adsorptive form in surface soil. Finally, basic data and established models will be utilized for general radiological impact assessment in aquatic environment.
