Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) and potential EDCs are mostly man-made, found in various materials such as pesticides, additives or contaminants in food, and personal care products. The high energy ionizing radiation has the ability to remove the EDCs with a very high degree of reliability and in a clean and efficient manner. The ionizing radiation interacts with EDCs both directly and indirectly. Direct interaction takes place with EDCs and the structure of EDCs is destroyed or changed. During indirect interaction, radiolysis products of water result in the formation of highly reactive intermediates which then react with the target molecules, culminating in structural changes. To confirm the radiation reduction of EDCs in industrial sludge, a pilot scale experiment up to 50 kGy of electron beam (EB) was conducted with samples from the textile dyeing industries. The experimental result showed the over 90% of reduction of Nonylphenol (NP) and Di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) at around 10 kGy of absorbed doses.

1990년 12월부터 전국 주요 16개지역에 측정네트�p을 구성하고, 직달일사량 자료를 수집하였다. 측정 된 자료를 토대로 지역별 표준치 설정하여 이들 자료를 집광식시스템의 설계자와 관련 연구자들에게 광범위하게 이용될 수 있도록 제시하였다. 현지 측정사업의 내용을 중심으로 지금까지의 결과를 살펴보면, 1) 우리나라의 법선면 직달일사조건은 청명한 날을 기준으로 하루에 $4,400kcal/m^2$내외이다. 2) 연평균치에 대한 계절별 일사조건은 봄과 여름이 각각 6%, 14% 높았으며, 가을과 겨울은 5%, 15% 정도 상대적으로 낮았다.

전중추신경 방사선 조사는 수아세포종, 중추신경정상피종, 중추신경임파종, 중추신경백혈병 환자 치료에 시행한다. 뇌부위에는 양면 조사야를 통하고 척추 신경부위는 후면 단일 조사야를 통해 방사선 조사한다. 이때 조사야가 인접한 부위에서 발생하는 방사선조사야의 중첩에 의한 선량의 불균일성은 큰 문제로, 특히 척추신경의 극히 한정된 방사선 인내능력으로 인해 심각한 부작용을 병발할 수 있다. 이 문제를 해결하기위한 많은 연구가 보고되고 있으나 그들이 보고한 방법에 의해서도 불균일성은 최고 $60\%\sim70\%$로 부터 최소 $15\%\sim20\%$에 이른다. 저자는 split beam (central axis beam)과 collimator rotation technique을 이용하거나 collimator/couch rotation technique을 이용하여 3조사야가 접하는 부위의 방사선량의 불균일성을 해결하고자 시도하였다. 저자의 방법으로 시행할 때 3조사야가 접하는 부위에서의 불균일성은 $5\%$정도로 감소시킬 수 있었다. 본 논문에서 저자의 방법의 장단점을 기술하였다.

The Knowledge of the solar radiation components are essential for modeling many solar energy systems. This is particularly the case for applications that concentrate the incident energy to attain high thermodynamic efficiency achievable only at the higher temperatures. In order to estimate the performance of concentrating thermal systems, it is necessary to know the intensity of the beam radiation, as only this component can be concentrated. The Korea Institute of Energy Research(KIER) has began collecting solar radiation component data since January, 2002. KIER's component data will be extensively used by concentrating system users or designers as well as by research institutes. The theoretical analysis of solar radiation as a component has compared with the experimental data obtained by the KIER station. The Result of simulation analysis shows that the annual-average daily diffuse radiation on the horizontal surface is $1,457cal/m^2$ and daily direct radiation on the horizontal surface is $1,632cal/m^2$ for all over the 16 areas in Korea.

Informations of the solar radiation component are essential for modeling various solar energy systems. These Informations are particularly used for middle and high temperature applications, those need concentrating direct normal insolation. In order to estimate the performance of concentrating systems, it is necessary to know the intensity of the beam radiation, as only this component can be concentrated. The Korea Institute of Energy Research(KIER) has began collecting solar radiation component data since August, 1996. KIER's component data will be extensively used by concentrating system users or designers as well as by research institutes.

Since seeds can be directly used as food resources as well as for crop cultivation or preservation of genetic resources, it is essential to develop high-quality seed processing technology to increase agricultural productivity. Seed treatment means processing technologies of seeds through physical or chemical treatment processes from after harvesting seeds to before sowing of seeds to improve germination and growth rate, durability, and immunity, etc. Since chemical seed treatment technology using pesticides or plant growth regulators has problems of environmental pollution and human toxicity, it is desired to develop an alternative technology. As a physical seed treatment method, various technologies such as ionizing radiation, plasma, microwave, and magnetic field are being developed, and some of them are being used practically. In this paper, I will summarize the mechanism of seed priming and disinfection, and the advantages and disadvantages of application, focusing on these physical seed treatment methods. Low dose or moderate intensity ionizing radiation, microwave, low-temperature plasma, and magnetic field treatments often promoted seed germination and seedling growth. However, effective removal of direct seed pathogens at these treatment intensities appears to be difficult. And it has been shown that relatively high-dose electron beam treatment using low-energy electron beams kills microorganisms on the seed surface and hull layer while not damaging the inner tissue of the seed, and is also effectively used for seed treatment on a commercial scale. In order to put the physical seed treatment technology to practical use in Korea, it is necessary to develop an economical scale treatment device along with the development of individual treatment technology to each crop.

This study screened for radio-resistant strains lactic acid bacteria (LAB) by evaluating their capability to survive exposure to ionizing radiation. Ten strains of LAB - Lactobacillus bulgaricus, Lactobacillus paracasei, Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus delbruekii, Lactococcus lactis, Streptococcus thermophilus, Bifidobacterium breve, and Pediocuccos pentosaceus - were selected and subcultuted twice. The LAB was then further cultured for 3 d at $37^{\circ}C$ to reach 7-10 Log colony-forming units (CFU)/mL prior to irradiation and immediately exposed to gamma rays or electron beams with absorbed doses of 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, and 10 kGy. Gamma irradiation gradually decreased the number of the tested viable LAB, and the effect was irradiation dose dependent. A similar effect was found in electron beam-irradiated LAB. Radiation sensitivity of LAB was calculated as $D_{10}$ values, which ranged from 0.26 kGy to 0.9 kGy and 0.5 kGy to 1.44 kGy with exposure to gamma and electron beam irradiation, respectively, in all tested LAB. L. acidophilus was the most resistant to gamma and electron beam irradiation, with $D_{10}$ values of 0.9 kGy and 1.44 kGy, respectively. These results suggest that L. acidophilus might be suitable for the preparation of probiotics as direct-fed microbes for astronauts in extreme space environments.

External beam radiotherapy (EBRT) causes anxiety and claustrophobia in pediatric patients. To provide exact figures and radiation amounts, an appropriate sedation or anesthesia can be supplied. Alpha 2 agonist dexmedetomidine has been used for sedation and anesthesia in pediatric imaging. Dexmedetomidine has an advantage because it has minimal respiratory depression and no direct effects on myocardial function. We report repeated sedation with dexmedetomidine for 33 consecutive radiation therapies in 5 years old children.

중성자선은 고 LET (linear energy transfer) 방사선으로 X선이나 감마선 등의 저 LET 방사선보다 세포에 더욱 큰 손상을 입힌다. 중성자에 의한 손상은 일반적으로 세포에 있어서 치명적이며, 중성자선은 X선이나 감마선에 비하여 직접작용을 통하여 세포사를 일으키는 경향이 있다. 본 연구에서는 고속중성자선의 성장지연비 및 산소증강비를 동물실험을 통하여 측정하고자 하였다. BALB-c 마우스의 우측 하지에 EMT-6 세포주를 이식한 후 종양의 평균용적이 $200-300mm^3$가 되었을 때 X선 및 고속중성자선을 조사하였다. 정상산소환경 및 저산소환경의 종양에 대하여 X선은 0, 11, 15.4 Gy를 조사하였고 고속중성자선은 0, 5, 7, Gy를 조사하였다. 방사선조사 후에는 종양의 용적을 주 3회 측정하였다. 정상산소환경 실험군의 경우 저산소환경 실험군에 비하여 X선 11 Gy를 조사하였을 때 성장지연비가 1.34였고, 15.4 Gy를 조사하였을 때 1.33였다. 고속중성자선을 조사한 경우정상산소환경 실험군이 저산소환경 실험군에 비하여 고속중성자선 5 Gy를 조사하였을 때 성장지연비는 0.94였고, 고속중성자선 7 Gy를 조사하였을 때 0.98였다. 고속중성자선의 산소증강비는 0.97이었다. 고속중성자선은 X선에 비하여 저산소환경에 있는 종양의 성장억제에 있어서 보다 효과적이었다.
