In general, magnetite or barite (density: more than 4.0ton/㎥) has been used in concrete for radiation shielding, and radiation tests have been performed to evaluate shielding performance. However, researchers have not studied concrete for radiation shielding that utilizes electric arc furnace oxidizing slag. This research aims to utilize electric arc furnace oxidizing slag which depends on reclamation as environment-friendly concrete materials by using coarse and fine aggregates of electric arc furnace slag containing 30% ferrous metal and with a density of around 3.0~3.8 ton/㎥. Accordingly, this research has judged that the high density electric arc furnace oxidizing slag aggregate can be applied to radiation shielding concrete. It has also examined the possibility of developing radiation shielding concrete utilizing electric arc furnace oxidizing slag aggregate by comparing concrete utilizing all fine and coarse aggregate of electric arc furnace oxidizing slag with concrete using magnetite.

본 논문에서는 철근 콘크리트 구조 벽체에 대한 전자파 차폐성능 측정시스템을 이용한 전자파 투과율을 분석하였다. 최근 철근 콘크리트 벽체 조건에 대한 전자파 차폐 기술이 연구되고 있으며, 단위 셀 크기의 시험시편에 대한 차폐 성능 시험이 진행되고 있다. 그러나, 단위셀 크기의 시험은 차폐성능 측정범위가 부족하고, 실제 콘크리트 벽체 조건을 반영하기 어렵다는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 이에 대하여 실제 벽체와 유사한 크기와 구조의 2.2m × 2.2m 크기의 대형 벽체 시험시편을 측정할 수 있는 차폐성능 측정 시스템을 구성하였다. 측정 시스템 검증을 위하여 일반 철근 콘크리트 시험시편을 선정하여 실제 차폐성능 측정과 수치해석을 진행하였다. 평가 주파수 범위인 75MHz~2GHz에서 시험결과와 수치해석 결과가 서로 유사한 경향성을 보임이 확인되어 본 차폐성능 측정 시스템이 유효함을 검증하였다.

본 연구에서는 기존의 납을 대체할 수 있는 의료방사선 차폐시트 적용을 위해 몬테카를로 시뮬레이션을 이용하여 각각에 대한 원소별 차폐능을 모의 추정하였다. 원소들의 선정은 차폐성능이 큰 것으로 알려진 원자번호가 큰 원소와 금속원소를 중심으로 최근에는 다양한 복합재들이 차폐성능을 향상시킨다는 보고에 따라 경량화, 가공성, 활동성 등을 고려하여 21개 원소를 선정하였다. 몬테카를로 시뮬레이션 코드를 이용한 전산모사 투과도 실험으로 21개의 원소를 대상으로 시뮬레이션 하여 추정한 결과 납을 대체할 차폐물질로 적당한 원소의 투과율은 텅스텐(w) 98.82％, 가돌리늄(Gd) 92.96％, 주석(Sn) 86.87％, 인듐(In) 86.38％, 안티몬(Sb) 86.33％, 바륨(Ba) 78.51%로 평가되었으며, 각 원소별 차폐성능을 모의 추정한 결과 텅스텐과 금이 98.82%와 98.44%로 차폐율이 가장 높은 것으로 추정되었다. 경제성과 가공성을 고려할 때 위 원소를 화합한 물질로 차폐체를 만드는 것이 적절할 것으로 사료된다.

The performance of transmission lines and its shielding design during a lightning phenomenon are quite essential in the maintenance of a reliable power supply to consumers. The leader progression model, as an advanced approach, has been recently developed to calculate the shielding failure rate (SFR) of transmission lines using geometrical data and physical behavior of upward and downward lightning leaders. However, such method is quite time consuming. In the present paper, an effective method that utilizes artificial neural networks (ANNs) to create a metamodel for calculating the SFR of a transmission line based on shielding angle and height is introduced. The results of investigations on a real case study reveal that, through proper selection of an ANN structure and good training, the ANN prediction is very close to the result of the detailed simulation, whereas the Processing time is by far lower than that of the detailed model.

Electric arc furnace oxidizing slag from massively produced steel slag has been used in road bases and subbases, hot mix asphalt, and landfill. Electric arc furnace oxidizing slag contains iron (15%~30%) and has a high density of 3.0~3.7 ton/m3. Depending on the type and amount of concrete aggregates, the radiation-shielding characteristics can vary. Therefore, aggregates of electric arc furnace oxidizing slag can be considered for the production of radiation-shielding concrete. The experimental design of this study is experiments on Compressive strength experiments, X-ray irradiation experiments, and experiments related to the unit volume weight were carried out on hardened concrete. This experiment compared the performance evaluation of radiation shielding of concrete using electric arc furnace oxidizing slag.

Excellent thermal neutron absorption performance of boron expands the potential use of boron rich slag to prepare epoxy resin matrix nuclear shielding composites. However, shielding attenuation behaviors and mechanism of the composites against gamma rays are unclear. Based on the radiation protection theory, Phy-X/PSD, XCOM, and ⁶⁰Co gamma ray source were integrated to obtain the shielding parameters of boron rich slag/epoxy resin composites at 0.015-15 MeV, which include mass attenuation coefficient (µ_t), linear attenuation coefficient (µ), half value thickness layer (HVL), electron density (N_eff), effective atomic number (Z_eff), exposure buildup factor (EBF) and exposure absorption buildup factor (EABF).µ_t, µ, HVL, N_eff, Z_eff, EBF and EABF are 0.02-7 cm²/g, 0.04-17 cm^-1, 0.045-20 cm, 5-14, 3 × 10²³-8 × 10²³ electron/g, 0-2000, and 0-3500. Shielding performance is BS4, BS3, BS3, BS1 in descending order, but worse than ordinary concrete. µ and HVL of BS1-BS4 for ⁶⁰Co gamma ray is 0.095-0.110 cm^-1 and 6.3-7.2 cm. Shielding mechanism is main interactions for attenuation gamma ray by BS1-BS4 are elements with higher content or higher atomic number via Photoelectric Absorption at low energy range, and elements with higher content via Compton Scattering and Pair Production in Nuclear Field at middle and higher energy range.

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.

의료기관에서 많이 사용되는 방사선 차폐 재료인 납을 대처할 수 있는 플라스틱 제품으로 PVC를 선택하였다. 방사선 차폐 의복 이외에 저선량 영역에서 의료기기 부품, 산업용 차폐 재료로 사용이 가능한지 평가하고자 한다. 상업용 PVC는 밀도가 3.68 g/㎠ 으로 재료의 유연성과 경제성 등 일정 방사선 영역에서는 충분한 차폐 효과를 긍정적으로 기대할 수 있으며, 다양한 형태로 변형이 가능하고, 경량의 차폐벽으로 사용할 수 있다. 의료기관에서 임상 검사 시 사용되는 의료방사선 영역 대에서 3mm PVC 5장을 두께로 조절하여 차폐 성능을 실험하였다. 의료방사선의 관전압 기준으로 실효에너지에 대한 차폐 성능을 평가하였다. PVC는 두께가 두꺼울수록 관전압과 실효에너지가 낮을수록 차폐효과는 크게 나타났으며, 차폐효과는 12mm 두께에 관전압 80kVp에서 70%의 차폐효과가 있었다. 따라서 PVC 재료의 차폐효과는 두께의 의존율이 높게 나타났다. 앞으로는 차폐 성능을 높이면서 얇고 가벼운 친환경 제품을 만들기 위한 지속적인 연구가 필요하다.

In this paper, the electromagnetic shielding performance of a BiMODAL Tram is investigated by means of an electromagnetic analysis tool, called HFSS. For the purposed of doing this, first, three-dimensional finite element modeling for the tram including electronic devices and engine room is carried out. Then, for quantitatively assessing the electromagnetic shielding performance of the tram's body, concentration indexes for electric field magnitude and time-average stored electric energy are introduced. From numerical results, it is inferred that the tram's body can protect the electronic devices and engine room against external electromagnetic waves from 30 MHz to 100 MHz.

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.
