본 연구에서는 정상 운전이나 사고 시 발생되는 고방사선 환경에서 다양한 센서에 공통적으로 사용할 수 있는 내방사선 센서 신호처리 모듈을 설계하였다. 개발한 초기 모듈은 센서의 저항(R)과 정전용량(C) 값의 변화를 입력으로 받아 PWM 신호 변조방식으로 처리하도록 설계되었다. 이 모듈은 총 약 12 kGy 방사선 평가시험에서 Full-Scale 대비 ±10 % 오차범위를 가지고 있었다. 오차 발생의 주요 원인은 방사선 피폭량의 증가에 따른 공통회로 내 스위칭 소자의 열화와 이로 인한 펄스폭 변조회로의 듀티 비 증가로 분석되었다. 이 분석결과를 반영한 방사선 내성강화를 위해 방사선에 의한 특성변화를 상쇄하는 회로를 추가하여 재설계하였고, 20.7 kGy 범위의 TID 시험에서 Full-scale 대비 5% 이하 오차로 개선결과를 얻었다.

본 논문에서는 기존 전원차단회로의 공급전원 차단 복귀 시간 지연 문제를 해결하기 위하여 고속 방전 충전 스위칭 기능을 갖는 새로운 전원차단회로를 제안하였다. 제안된 전원차단회로는 공급전원 고속 차단 후 복귀(충전) 속도를 증가시키도록 설계함으로써 전자시스템의 방사선 노출 시간과 펄스 방사선이 지나간 후 정상동작하기 위한 시간을 줄였다. 하드웨어를 구현하기 전 방전 충전 시간의 시뮬레이션은 Cadence 사의 pspice tool을 이용하여 진행하였으며 소자레벨에서 DUT(Device Under Test) 보드를 제작하였다. 전원차단회로의 비교 측정은 24V용 인공위성 전자소자를 대상으로 수행되었다. 그 결과, 제안된 회로는 기존 회로에 비하여 방전속도 96.8%, 복귀속도 27.3% 향상으로 고속 기능이 구현됨을 확인하였다.

Purpose: The purposes of this study were to measure the dose distribution of Photodynamic therapy(PDT) laser with 635 nm wavelength using GafChromic film. Method & Result: We made each output 300 J by changing mW and sec using the laser beam radiation mode such as C.W(Continuous Wave) mode, Pulse mode and Burst Pulse mode and measured the does at 0 mm and 5 mm of distance from optic fiber catheter end to the film, and at 5 mm distance by changing the angle of the end of the optic fiber catheter as $0^{\circ}$ and $0.5^{\circ}$. The radiated film was scanned and OD(Optical Density) was compared. And two-dimensional isodose curves were obtained and the consistency of shapes was compared. It was confirmed that there was consistency between optic density and the dose radiated on the film when we radiated GafChromic film by changing distance and angle of 300 J output in each radiation mode coordinating mW and sec. Conclusion: In this study, we could identify the stability according to changes in laser beam modes, changes in output according to distance, changes in uniformity according to angle, and beam profiles using GafChromic film, and we could also get two-dimensional isodose curve. It was found that small change in the distance and angle that is made when optic fiber catheter was contacted on the treatment area did not make big effects on the output of beam and the uniformity of dose, and it was also found that GafChromic film could be utilized for the purpose of QA of PDT laser beam.

The 2 GeV electron linac, the injector of the Pohang Light Source, was used as a photo-neutron source for radiation shielding research. The operational beam parameters are the nominal electron intensity of $0.5\;{\sim}5\;nC/sec$, the repetition rate of 10 Hz, and the beam pulse length of 1.0 nsec. One electron beam line was modified in order to install the target systems for producing pulsed photo-neutrons. The neutron spectrum and intensity were investigated by the time-of-flight technique. The reliable maximum energy of the measured neutrons was about 500 MeV. The number of neutrons above 20 MeV produced by one 1 GeV electron in a thick Pb target was about $6.45{\times}10^{-4}/sr$ at 90 degrees to the beam axis. The status of the photo-neutron source and the application research are presented.

Silicon carbide (SiC) is a promising material for neutron detection at harsh environments because of its capability to withstand strong radiation fields and high temperatures. Two PIN-type SiC semiconductor neutron detectors, which can be used for nuclear power plant (NPP) applications, such as in-core reactor neutron flux monitoring and measurement, were designed and fabricated. As a preliminary test, MCNPX simulations were performed to estimate reaction probabilities with respect to neutron energies. In the experiment, I-V curves were measured to confirm the diode characteristic of the detectors, and pulse height spectra were measured for neutron responses by using a $^{252}Cf$ neutron source at KRISS (Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science), and a Tandem accelerator at KIGAM (Korea Institute of Geoscience and Mineral Resources). The neutron counts of the detector were linearly increased as the incident neutron flux got larger.

본 논문은 광역학적 암치료 효율을 높이기 위한 레이저 시스템의 최적화 구현에 관한 연구이다. 레이저 시스템의 최적화를 위해서는 레이저 출력의 출력 변동율과 파장대의 편이가 적어야 한다. 임상에서 암치료의 효율을 높이기 위해서는 악성종양부위에 조사되는 방사방식이 다양하게 구현되어야 한다. 기존에 사용되고 있는 C.W 방식은 정상조직에도 손상을 입힐 수 있는 생체조직의 열적효과를 가져올 수 있다. 이에 새로운 방사모드를 제안하여 생체조직에 대한 열적 안전성과 치료의 효율을 높였다. 실험을 통하여 광파장의 안정성 및 광 출력과 출력의 안정성을 확인 하였고, 피부조직의 열적 손상 방지를 위한 방사모드의 구현은 생체조직에 대한 실험을 통해서 본 연구의 타당성을 검증하였다.

Background: This work aims to develop a new imaging system based on a pulse shape discrimination-capable Cs₂LiYCl₆:Ce (CLYC) scintillation detector combined with the rotational modulation collimator (RMC) technique for dual-particle imaging. Materials and Methods: In this study, a CLYC-based RMC system was designed based on Monte Carlo simulations, and a prototype was fabricated. Therein, a rotation control system was developed to rotate the RMC unit precisely, and a graphical user interface-based software was also developed to operate the data acquisition with RMC rotation. The RMC system was developed to allow combining various types of collimator masks and detectors interchangeably, making the imaging system more versatile for various applications and conditions. Results and Discussion: Operational performance of the fabricated system was studied by checking the accuracy and precision of the collimator rotation and obtaining modulation patterns from a gamma-ray source repeatedly. Conclusion: The prototype RMC system showed reliability in its mechanical properties and reproducibility in the acquisition of modulation patterns, and it will be further investigated for its dual-particle imaging capability with various complex radioactive source conditions.

The applicability of UPT (Ultrasound Pulse Thermography) for real-time defect detection of the ceramic heating plate is described. The ceramic heating plate with superior insulation and high radiation is used to control the water temperature in underwater environment. The underwater temperature control system can be damaged owing to the short circuit, which resulted from the defect of the ceramic heating plate. A high power ultrasonic energy with pulse duration of 280 ms was injected into the ceramic heating plate in the vertical direction. The ultrasound excited vibration energy sent into the component propagate inside the sample until they were converted to the heat in the vicinity of the defect. Therefore, an injection of the ultrasound pulse wave which results in heat generation, turns the defect into a local thermal wave transmitter. Its local emission is monitored and recorded via the thermal infrared camera at the surface which is processed by image recording system. Measurements were Performed on 4 kinds of samples, composed of 3 intact plates and the defect plate. The observed thermal image revealed two area of crack in the defective ceramic heating plate.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the melting phenomenon of filler wire in detail and to obtain the precise temperature distribution of filler wire during GTA welding under the ultra-high welding speed condition in order to develop the ultra-high-speed GTA welding process with the pulse-heated hot-wire system by using three kinds of materials. The melting phenomenon of filler wire was observed using a high-speed camera and the temperature distribution of filler wire was measured using a radiation thermometer. From the above result, the adequate welding conditions of each material to make the GTA welding process with the ultra-high welding speed could be obtained. The ultra-high-speed GTA welding process needed the adequate wire current in order to obtain the adequate temperature distribution and the adequate melting position of filler wire. Moreover, the temperature distributions of three kinds of filler wire could be estimated by using the proposed simple estimation method.
