At recent time, superconducting technology makes it possible to develop various devices using strong magnetic fields. As increasing with devices using high magnetic fields, magnetic shielding technology is essential in order to get high efficiency. Therefore it is necessary to establish production method and clear characteristics of suitable shielding materials. Usually, ferromagnetic metal has been used for shielding of high magnetic fields up to the present time. Instead of heavy ferromagnetic metal, we can acquire better upgraded shielding system by using of very light superconducting thin film that has a perfect diamagnetism. We would like to study basic characteristics of NbTi thin film produced by RF sputtering, investigated morphology and crystal structure of NbTi thin film by SEM and XRD, identified superconductivity measuring by critical current.

Recent advancements in electronic devices and wireless communication technologies, particularly the rise of 5G, have raised concerns about the escalating electromagnetic pollution and its potential adverse impacts on human health and electronics. As a result, the demand for effective electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials has grown significantly. Traditional materials face limitations in providing optimal solutions owing to inadequacy and low performance due to small thickness. MXene-based composite materials have emerged as promising candidates in this context owing to their exceptional electrical properties, high conductivity, and superior EMI shielding efficiency across a broad frequency range. This review examines the recent developments and advantages of MXene-based composite materials in EMI shielding applications, emphasizing their potential to address the challenges posed by electromagnetic pollution and to foster advancements in modern electronics systems and vital technologies.

Purpose: Lead has been widely used in radiation shielding for its low price and high workability. Recently in several europe countries, use of lead was banned for environmental issues. Also lead can cause health problems like alergies. Alternative materials for lead are highly required. The purpose of this study was to propose lead free radiation shielding material. Methods: Research of radiation shielding in Korea is not easy for certain limits such as radiation materials, experimental facilities and places. The collected data through the research were simulated using MCNPX. The simulation tools used for this study were utilized Monte Carlo method. Results: we suggest new design of lead free radiation shielding material using MCNPX code comparing shielding performance of new composite materials to lead. Conclusion: This newly introduced nano-scale composite of metal and polymer makes new chance for highly lightened radiation protective garments with endurable shielding performance.

In this study, isophtalic neopentyl glycol polyester (NPG-PES) based composites with different loading ratios of pure tungsten metal (W), tungsten (VI) oxide (WO₃), tungsten boron (WB) and tungsten carbide (WC) composites were prepared as alternative shielding materials for ionizing electromagnetic radiation (IEMR) shielding. Structural characterizations of the composites were done. Gamma spectrometric analysis of composites for 80-2000 keV energy range was performed and their usability as IEMR shielding was discussed. As a result, the produced composites showed a shielding performance of 60-100% of the lead (the most widely used IEMR shielding material) depending on the reinforcement material, reinforcement loading rate and experimental conditions. Thus, it was reported that produced composites could be an alternative to lead shieldings that have several disadvantages as toxic properties, difficulty of processing and inelasticity.

In this study, a new shielding method was applied to an accessory device that produces electromagnetic waves in the magnetic resonance room to prevent the generation of artifact caused by electromagnetic waves. The research method applied a new shielding made of metal plating fiber to patient surveillance CCTVs without shielding technology, and obtained and evaluated noise map when the power was not cut off and when the new shielding technology was applied without shutting down the CCTV. As a result of the study, it was found that there was at least one group with significant differences. Type I and type III belonged to group 1 while type II belonged to group 2 in the Post-hoc analysis, which meant blocking power of the CCTV and the applying new shielding technology were in the same group. In conclusion, if electromagnetic waves are generated due to additional accessories in the scanning room, the shielding material proposed in this study should be applied which enables the electric state become similar to type I, not generating noise, thereby preventing the artifacts caused by electromagnetic waves.

In this work, wrapping conductors with thin magnetic materials is proposed as a magnetic shielding method. The 0.1 mm thick metal sheets of mu-metal, grain-oriented electrical steel, and non-oriented electrical steel were produced from commercial alloy sheets through cold rolling and followed high temperature annealing. In case of 3-phase electric currents, mu-metal was the best in shielding performance at a B-field magnitude of about 100 ${\mu}T$, whereas silicon steels were better than mu-metal at a B-magnitude over 500 ${\mu}T$. In addition, wrapping with silicon steel(inner) together with mu-metal(outer) resulted in a shielding factor less than 0.1 even at 500 ${\mu}T$. These results are due to changes in hierarchy of magnetic permeabilities of the materials with increasing magnetic field strength. In case of single-phase electric current, B-magnitude outside the magnetic shell was rather increased compared to the unshielded case. This result is explained by vector composition of B-fields near magnetic shielding materials.

The arc thermal metal spraying method (ATMSM) has been used in Korea to improve the electromagnetic pulse (EMP) shielding effect of building and infrastructure by three machines of MS, KMS and HMS (Metal Spray, Korea Metal Spray, High-frequency Meta Spray). The adhesion ability of sprayed metal was found to be 58.32, 64.66 and 87.62% for MS, KMS and HMS, respectively. The metal sprayed area per hour of MS, KMS and HMS was calculated and found to be 14.3, 19.25 and 22.16㎡/h, respectively. The HMS showed the highest metal spray area attributed to the diameter of metal wire i.e. 1.6mm which sprayed 80 mm with 18 m/min. There was minimum loss of metal and the highest efficiency by HMS compared to others. Therefore, it is suggested to use HMS for metal spraying by ATMSM to enhance the EMP shielding effect.

Recently, because the wet pool storage facilities of NPPs in Korea has become saturated, there has been much active R&D on an interim dry storage system using a transportation and storage cask. Generally, the shielding evaluation for the design of a spent fuel transportation and storage cask is performed by the design basis fuel, which selects the most conservative fuel among the fuels to be loaded into the cask. However, the loading of actual spent fuel into the transportation metal cask is not limited to the design basis fuel used in the shielding evaluation; the loading feasibility of actual spent fuel is determined by the shielding evaluation that considers the characteristics of the initial enrichment, the maximum burnup and the minimum cooling period. This study describes a shielding analysis method for determining the minimum cooling period of spent fuel that meets the domestic transportation standard of the dual purpose metal cask. In particular, the spent fuel of 3.0~4.5wt% initial enrichment, which has a large amount of release, was evaluated by segmented shielding calculations for efficient improvement of the results. The shielding evaluation revealed that about 81% of generated spent fuel from the domestic nuclear power plants until 2008 could be transported by the dual purpose metal cask. The results of this study will be helpful in establishing a technical basis for developing operating procedures for transportation of the dual purpose metal cask.
