This system Will allow primary and secondary treatment institutions poorly equipped with medical equipment to use Internet and book their patients' medical checkups with tertiary hospitals equipped with remote medical information system. This research aims to make theoretical studies on the remote medical service information sharing system and discuss its utility and factors to be considered for spreading the system. To efficiently push ahead with the remote medical service information sharing system, we need to be open-minded in sharing medical service information, establish comprehensive pursuit system, introduce incentive aimed at activating the information system, have close coordination with the central government, flexibly respond to changing technologies, and offer publicity and education.

The International Atomic Energy Agency has developed a tomographic imaging system for accomplishing the total fuel rod-by-rod verification time of fuel assemblies within the order of 1-2 h, however, there are still limitations for some fuel types. The aim of this study is to develop a deep learning-based denoising process resulting in increasing the tomographic image acquisition speed of fuel assembly compared to the conventional techniques. Convolutional AutoEncoder (CAE) was employed for denoising the low-quality images reconstructed by filtered back-projection (FBP) algorithm. The image data set was constructed by the Monte Carlo method with the FBP and ground truth (GT) images for 511 patterns of missing fuel rods. The de-noising performance of the CAE model was evaluated by comparing the pixel-by-pixel subtracted images between the GT and FBP images and the GT and CAE images; the average differences of the pixel values for the sample image 1, 2, and 3 were 7.7%, 28.0% and 44.7% for the FBP images, and 0.5%, 1.4% and 1.9% for the predicted image, respectively. Even for the FBP images not discriminable the source patterns, the CAE model could successfully estimate the patterns similarly with the GT image.

Additional functional upgrades to the large-area compton camera (LACC) measurement device that can provide characteristics evaluation information (nuclear species and radioactivity) and two-dimensional or three-dimensional distribution imaging information of radioactive materials existing in surface or internal of concrete structures are required in terms of work stability and efficiency in order to apply to actual decommissioning sites such as nuclear power plants or medical cyclotron facilities by using this measurement device. To this purpose, the technology that allows radiation workers to intuitively and visually check the distribution of radioactive materials in advance by matching the two-dimensional distribution imaging information of radioactive materials obtained through the LACC measurement device and visual imaging of the measurement zone (10 m × 5 m) was developed. In addition, the separate system that can automatically adjust the position (height) in units of the measurement area size (0.7 m × 0.3 m × 0.8 m) of the LACC measurement device was developed and the integrated management system for characteristics evaluation information and two-dimensional or three-dimensional distribution imaging information obtained per unit of measurement for radioactive materials was developed. These functional upgrades related to LACC measurement device can improve work efficiency and safety when measuring radioactivity of concrete structures and enable the establishment of appropriate decommissioning strategies using radioactivity measurement information for decommissioning nuclear power plants or medical cyclotron facilities.

Pyroprocess technology has been considered as a fuel cycle option to solve the spent fuel accumulation problems in Korea. The Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute has been studying pyroprocess technology, and the conceptual design of an engineering-scale pyroprocess facility, called the Advanced Fuel Cycle (AFC) facility, has been performed on the basis of a 10tHM throughput per year. In this paper, the concept of the AFC facility was introduced, and its safety evaluations were performed. For the safety evaluations, anticipated accident events were selected, and environmental safety analyses were conducted for the safety of the public and workers. In addition, basic radiation shielding safety analyses and criticality safety analyses were conducted. These preliminary safety studies will be used to specify the concept of safety systems for pyroprocess facilities, and to establish safety design policies and advance more definite safety designs.

In the midst of disaster, such as an earthquake or a nuclear radiation exposure area, there are huge risks to send human crews. Many robotic researchers have studied to send UGVs in order to replace human crews at dangerous environments. So far, two-dimensional camera information has been widely used for teleoperation of UGVs. Recently, three-dimensional information based teleoperations are attempted to compensate the limitations of camera information based teleoperation. In this paper, the 3D map information of indoor and outdoor environments reconstructed in real-time is utilized in the UGV teleoperation. Further, we apply the LTE communication technology to endure the stability of the teleoperation even under the deteriorate environment. The proposed teleoperation system is performed at explosive disposal missions and their feasibilities could be verified through completion of that missions using the UGV with the Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) team of Busan Port Security Corporation.

In this paper, we describe the procedure of simulation design and measured results of a compact planar antenna for handset applications. The broad bandwidth covering the interested frequency band for mobile handset is achieved by introduction of an open ended L-shaped slot which is newly proposed and corresponds to the monopole slot. In order to minimize the impact on circuit part placement, the proposed antenna is placed on the ground plane edge of PCB with size of 60×65 mm². The measurement result for 10dB impedance bandwidths is 640 MHz (1.7~2.34 GHz), covering the required bandwidths for DCS (Digital Cellular System)-1800 (1710 ~ 1880 MHz) / IMT (International Mobile Telecommunication)-2000 (1885 ~ 2200 MHz) bands. In particular, we would like to emphasize the proposed antenna has an omnidirectional radiation pattern suitable for commercial wireless communication.

White organic LED spectrum for lighting and displaying should be designed for high luminous efficiency as well as good chromaticity coordinate, pleasant correlated color temperature and color rendering. A program based on Matlab was made to make these calculations convenient. The chromaticity coordinate and luminous efficiency was calculated according to the CIE 1931 colorimetric system, while the correlated color temperature(CCT) was calculated based on CIE 1960 UCS diagram. The color rendering characteristics were evaluated according to the CIE Color Rendering Index (CRI), using Ra, Ri and ${\bigtriangleup}E$ from the 14 color samples defined in CIE13.3.

In this paper, we proposed a novel crowbar circuit for high-speed discharge charge switching to solve discharge charge-time delay of supply voltage in the conventional crowbar circuit. The proposed circuit is designed to increase the charge-speed after high-speed discharge of supply voltage, thereby reducing the time exposed to radiation damage and, the normal operation time of electronic system after passing the pulse radiation. The simulation of the discharge charge-times before the implement of the hardware is conducted using Cadence's pspice tool, and DUT (Device Under Test) board is fabricated in the device level. The comparison measurement of the crowbar circuits is performed on the satellite-electronic device for 24V. As the result, we confirmed the high-speed function of the proposed circuit by improvement of the discharge-speed 96.8% and the charge-speed 27.3% as compared with the conventional circuit.
