  • 방사선방호목적의 두부용 수학적 모의 피폭체를 제작하여 두부 CT촬영 시 시각기관(눈, 각막, 수정체)의 흡수선량을 분석하였다. 이후 안구차폐에 따른 방사선량 감소효과를 분석하였다. 그 결과 안구의 흡수선량은 에너지가 증가 할수록 높은 선량을 나타냈으며, 선량이 높은 장기는 두부를 제외하고 눈(eye), 각막(cornea), 수정체(lens) 순으로 평가되었다. 또한 눈의 경우 차폐체 전 후 선량 감소율을 약 38%에서 55%까지, 각막은 약 35%에서 52%를, 끝으로 수정체는 전면만 차폐한 경우 약 51%를 전면과 측면을 동시에 차폐한 경우 약 67%의 감소율을 나타냈다.

  • This study was conducted to analyze the characteristics of three high-exposure tasks performed by radiation workers in Korean pressurized water reactors (PWRs) and to identify factors that reduce their exposure during work. Three high-exposure tasks were selected based on a previous study. In this previous study, nozzle dam installation and removal, eddy current testing, and manway opening and closing were determined as high-exposure tasks through normalization (radiation dose per unit time). Based on the analysis of the characteristics of the high-exposure tasks in this study, the high-exposure tasks were steam generator-related tasks performed inside and outside the water chamber. This study analyzed the reduction factors for high-exposure tasks and suggested improvements in terms of time, distance, and shielding. The use of the characteristics of high-exposure tasks and their dose reduction factors enables Korean PWRs to optimize radiation protection for workers who receive relatively high doses.

  • Nitrite, a curing agent of meat products, is precursors of carcinogenic N-nitrosamines during processing of meat products or under human stomach conditions as well as having its own toxicity. Some researches have been conducted to evaluate the effects of ionizing radiation on the reduction of residual nitrite and N-nitrosamines in an aqueous model system and cured meat products with different packaging methods during storage. These results showed that the gamma irradiation was effective in reducing the residual nitrite and N-nitrosamines in an aqueous model system as well as meat products. Especially, irradiation combined with vacuum or modified atmosphere packaging was more effective in nitrite and N-nitrosamines reduction than aerobic packaging during storage. The objective of this review is to introduce the irradiation technology for the application of reducing the residual nitrite and N-nitrosamine contents in meat products.

  • OFDM 시스템 앙상블의 대역외 방사는 인접 앙상블의 수신성능에 영향을 주기 때문에 대역외 방사 완화기법의 적용은 매우 중요한 기술에 해당한다. 본 논문에서는 DAB 계열 OFDM시스템 스펙트럼의 대역외 방사 완화 기법과 관련하여 시간영역 윈도윙 방식을 적용한 대역외 방사 완화 기법 적용을 고찰하여 보았으며, 해당 기법을 T-DMB (DAB 모드-1) 및 AT-DMB 향상계층 B-모드 및 Q-모드에 대하여 적용한 결과 약 3dB 정도의 대역외 방사 완화 이득을 얻었다. 또한 BER 성능 측정에서도 해당 기법을 적용함에 따른 성능 저하가 매우 미미함을 확인하였다.

  • 방사선영상검사에서 발생하는 피폭선량에 대한 선량제한이 없으므로 방사선방호를 위한 정당화와 최적화가 반드시 필요하다. 조직등가물질 볼루스를 이용하여 방사선영상검사로 인한 피폭선량을 저감하면서 동시에 영상화질을 유지할 수 있는 범위를 확인하였다. 손 후전방향 프로젝션을 기준으로 50 kVp, 5 mAs, SID 100 cm, 8×10 inch 조건으로 볼루스를 0, 3, 5, 8, 10 mm 적용하여 손 부위 입사선량과 영상의 SNR을 확인하였다. 볼루스의 두께별 손 부위 입사선량(μGy)은 각각 125.41±0.288, 106.85±0.255, 104.97±0.221, 91.68±0.299, 90.94±0.106으로 나타나 볼루스의 사용여부와 그 두께에 따라 유의한 피폭선량 감소를 보였다. 영상의 SNR은 볼루스 각 두께에서 13.997, 13.906, 12.240, 12.538, 12.548로 나타나 큰 차이를 보이지 않았다. 방사선영상검사의 종류와 검사 부위에 따라 적절한 두께와 크기의 볼루스를 사용한다면 영상화질의 저하없이 유의한 피폭선량 저감효과를 볼 수 있음을 확인하였다.

  • In the present study, we determined reduction value of radiation on chest film by film method and made a reduction curves. The reduction radio in exposure to radiation was induced by comparative investigation of characteristic curves and reduction one. Basing on these result, we could reduce a radiation dose on body surface in 50% at the time of chest radiography, if 17.8mm aluminium or 0.87mm copper filter were used in addition to conventional filter at 140KV tube voltage. The present study further revealed that the additional use of the aluminium or copper filter at the time of high voltage radiography in chest facilitates to identify an image of some pathologic focus overlapping wist clavicle and ribs.

  • This numerical study was to investigate the effect of $CO_2$ addition on the structures and NOx formation characteristics in $CH_4$ counterflow diffusion flame. The importance of radiation effect was identified and $CO_2$ addition effect was investigated in terms of thermal and chemical reaction effect. Also the causes of NOx reduction were clarified by separation method of each formation mechanisms. The results were as follows : The radiation effect was intensified by $CO_2$ addition. Thermal effect mainly contributed to the changes in flame structure and the amount of NO formation but the chemical reaction effect also cannot be neglected. The reduction of thermal NO was dominant with respect to reduction rate, but that of prompt NO was dominant with respect to total amount.

  • 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.

  • Application of X-ray irradiation of dried condiments was studied using commercially prepared dried garlic, onion and welsh onion flakes as model samples. Total load of aerobic microbes (TAM), color differences, and generation of off-flavor were quantified for samples individually irradiated with gamma rays, electrons, or X-rays. TAM load was decreased by irradiation in a dose-dependent manner. The three types of radiation did not differ in the extent of TAM reduction (P>0.05). The samples did not differ in color. Off-flavor was detected from 6 kGy-irradiated samples, regardless of radiation sources. The results indicated that X-ray irradiation could be used for irradiation of dried condiments with the same effects as gamma rays and an electron beam.
