본 연구에서는 건설현장에서 가장 많이 사용되는 재료 중 콘크리트에 EMP차폐 성능을 부여하기 위해 전기로 산화슬래그를 사용하여 EMP차폐 성능 평가를 실시하였다. 평가 결과 전기로산화슬래그의 성분은 Fe₂O₃ 함량 34%로 나타났으며 MgO 성분 또한 4.8%가량 포함하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 MgO 성분으로 인한 팽창우려로 골재안정성 평가를 실시한 결과 KS기준에 적합한 것으로 사료된다. EMP 차폐성능 평가결가 압축강도에 따른 EMP차폐성능은 상관성이 없었으며 일반골재는 EMP차폐가 되지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 전기로산화슬래그를 사용한 골재는 EMP 차폐성능이 우수 했으며 두께가 증가할수록 차폐성능은 향상되는 것을 알 수 있었다. 내구성 평가결과 EMP 차폐 콘크리트는 일반 콘크리트와 유산한 내구성을 보유하는 것으로 나타났다. 이를 통해 향후 EMP차폐 구조물 구축시 전기로 산화슬래그를 사용하여 콘크리트를 제조한다면 차폐율 향상에 좋을 것으로 사료된다.

EMP(Electromagnetic Pulse)는 통상적으로 고출력 전자기파 (High Power Electromagnetic: HPEM)를 의미한다. EMP를 차폐하기 위한 차폐 판의 경우, 현장 적용 시, 용접 및 볼트의 연결부(접합부)에서 시공자의 숙련도 및 불량시공, 차폐판의 변형 등으로 인한 전자파 차폐성능 저하의 가능성을 유발하고 있으며, 또한 벽체로부터 이격거리로 인한 비효율적인 공간 활용이 문제점으로 지적 되고 있다. 따라서, 본 연구는 콘크리트 벽체를 대상으로 반사손실에 대한 전자파 차폐성능을 확보하기 위한 일환으로서, 콘크리트에 금속용사 공법을 적용하여 최적의 전자파 차폐 조건을 도출하고자 한다. 실험변수로는 콘크리트 벽체 두께, Zn-Al 금속용사 적용 유무이다. 콘크리트 벽체의 경우, 일반적으로 적용되어지고 있는 벽체 두께인 100~300mm이며, 또한 전자파 차폐성능에 관한 Zn-Al 금속용사 공법의 실효성을 평가하기 위해 적용 유무로 구분하여 실험변수를 설정하였다. 실험 결과 두께가 증가할수록 흡수 손실의 증가로 인해 전자파 차폐성능이 증가하였다. 또한 Zn-Al 금속용사 적용 후 모든 시험체에서 평균 56.68 dB의 상당한 차폐성능 증가를 보였으며, 이는 금속용사 피막의 반사손실에 의하여 증가된 것으로 판단된다. 또한, 전도성 혼입재료와 금속 용사 피막을 동시에 적용할 경우 보다 우수한 차폐성능을 나타낼 것으로 판단된다.

In this study, the basic properties of concrete with entrained materials as shielding material for electromagnetic pulse(EMP) within 10kHz~1GHz were investigated. The concretes of moderate strength were prepared with different entrained materials. The shielding effectiveness will be determined according to MIL-STD-188-125-1 at 28 days of concrete curing. The results of physical properties were all satisfied of setting criteria.

Biochar is a novel carbon based material derived from waste that shows promising properties for several applications. In this paper we investigate its potential use as a low cost, greener alternative to commonly used aggregates employed to enhance the neutron shielding performance of concrete. Monte Carlo simulations are performed with the PHITS code to estimate the neutron attenuation of blank and biochar-reinforced concrete exposed to high energy neutrons. We find that the shielding performance of concrete with 15% biochar is comparable with commonly used materials such as Boron Carbide at 20% and exceeds that of Basalt fibers with the same concentration, making these composites an interesting greener alternative to current solutions. A combination of biochar and heavier fillers also show extremely promising performance.

Background: Heat energy produced in nuclear reactors and nuclear fuel cycle facilities interactions modifies the physical properties of the shielding materials containing water content. Therefore, in the present paper, effect of the heat on shielding effectiveness of the concretes is investigated for gamma and neutron. The mass attenuation coefficients, effective atomic numbers, fast neutron removal cross-section and exposure buildup factors. Materials and Methods: The mass attenuation coefficients, effective atomic numbers, fast neutron removal cross-section and exposure buildup factors of ordinary and heavy concretes were investigated using NIST data of XCOM program and Geometric Progression method. Results and Discussion: The improvement in shielding effectiveness for photon and reduction in fast neutron for ordinary concrete was observed. The change in the neutron shielding effectiveness was insignificant. Conclusion: The present investigation on interaction of gamma and neutron radiation would be very useful for assessment of shielding efficiency of the concrete used in high temperature applications such as reactors.

The facilities producing the nuclear energy chosen for resolving the recent global energy problem have been increasingly constructed, and hence more frequent durability tests on radiation shielding concrete are required due to NPP(Nuclear Power Plant) life extension and increase of radioactive waste repositories. Bulk dry density is one of the critical factors ensuring the durability and performance of the radiation shielding concrete because the design of the radiation shielding reinforced concrete structures for NPPs is based on the bulk dry density of the concrete. Bulk density of unconsolidated shielding concrete can be calculated utilizing a test assuring to satisfy the bulk dry density, or existing credible data set. This study evaluated correlation between bulk density and bulk dry density of the concrete used for Korean NPPs (y=1.0913X-0.2458) and developed a correlation expression considering standard deviation of bulk dry density (y=1.0913X-0.3358).

When a metal sprayed film of several hundred ㎛ on the concrete surface is possible to 80 dB of shielding effect electromagnetic waves (ElectroMagnetic Pulse, EMP). Therefore, in this study, as a way to secure EMP shielding performance by applying a metal spray coating showing excellent EMP shielding performance to a concrete structure, the metal spray welding efficiency and thin film adhesion performance according to the concrete spray direction and surface treatment method were evaluated. Metal sprayed efficieny according to the metal spraying direction and method was confirmed that the difference was insignificant by applying the roughening agent. However, the method of strengthening the concrete surface and applying the sealing agent show maximum adhesion strength of 3.98 MPa compared to other methods, and it is judged that this method can be utilized for the metal spraying method for concrete EMP shielding.

Borosilicate glass was incorporated to improve the neutron shielding capability of concrete. Boron is a typical neutron shielding material, and it is contained in borosilicate glass. However, borosilicate glass causes alkali-silica reaction, which damages the concrete. Therefore, studied to reduce the expansion due to alkali-silica reaction and to improve the neuton shielding capability. The measurement of the expansion due to the alkali-silica reaction was based on ASTM C 1260. Experimental results show that the expansion due to alkali-silica reaction is reduced when borosilicate glass powder incorporated. In addition, the neutron shielding capability was significantly improved when the fine aggregate replaced with borosilicate glass.

The EMP slip rate was compared with the general concrete using the electric arc furnace slag as an aggregate. Experimental results show that the shielding rate of concrete specimens using electric arc furnace slag increases. It is considered that the shielding rate is increased due to the high Fe content in the components of the electric arc furnace slag aggregate.
