Background and Objectives: Noise levels and room acoustic parameters at a tertiary referral hospital, Seoul National University Hospital (SNUH) in Korea, are investigated. Materials and Methods: Through a questionnaire, acoustically problematic rooms are identified. Noise levels in emergency rooms (ERs) and intensive care units (ICUs) are measured over about three days. Acoustically critical and problematic rooms in the otolaryngology department are measured including examination rooms, operating rooms, nurse stations, receptions, and patient rooms. Results: The A-weighted equivalent noise level, L_Aeq, ranges from 54 to 56 dBA, which is at least 10 dB lower than the noise levels of 65 to 73 dBA measured in American ERs. In an ICU, the noise level for the first night was 66 dBA, which came down to 56 dBA for the next day. The noise levels during three different ear surgeries vary from 57 to 62 dBA, depending on the use of surgical drills and suctions. The noise levels in a patient room is found to be 47 dBA, while the nurse stations and the receptions have high noise levels up to 64 dBA. The reverberation times in an operation room, examination room, and single patient room are found to be below 0.6 s. Conclusions: At SNUH, the nurse stations and receptions were found to be quite noisy. The ERs were quieter than in the previous studies. The measured reverberation times seemed low enough but some other nurse stations and examination rooms were not satisfactory according to the questionnaire.

Intraoperative Radiation therapy (IORT) is a cancer treatment modality in which resectable masses or organs are removed surgically and residual cancer calls are sterilized by irradiation with a single massive dose during while patient is still anesthetized. Because it is possible that the turner mass can be visualized directly at the time of surgical exploration, tumor volume can be determined more precisely and at the same tin e sensitive adjacent structures can be pulled aside from the irradiation. With these theoretical advantages as compare to conventional external irradiation, IORT can improve the therapeutic ratio of tumor control to normal tissue injury. Yonsei cancer center initiated a pilot study of multidisciplinary IORT program in february of 1986 for the fist attempt in Korea. IORT Was performed in 7 patients with stomach cancer by using existing NELAC-1018 Linear Accelerator treatment room as a surgical suite. IOTR team included department of surgery, Department of Anethesiology, Department of Clinical pathology, operating room nursing personal and Department of radiation oncology.

Fire protection is one of important issues to ensure safety and reduce risks of nuclear power plants (NPPs). While robust programs to shut down commercial reactors in any fires have been successfully maintained, the concept and associated regulatory requirements are constantly changing or strengthening by lessons learned from operating experiences and information all over the world. As part of this context, it is necessary not only to establish specific fire hazard assessment methods reflecting the characteristics of research reactors and educational reactors but also to make decisions based on advancement encompassing numerical analyses and experiments. The objectives of this study are to address fire simulation in the control room of an educational reactor and to discuss integrity of digital console in charge of main operation as well as analysis results through comparison. Three electrical fire scenarios were postulated and twenty-four thermal analyses were carried out taking into account two turbulence models, two cable materials and two ventilation conditions. Twelve supplementary thermal analyses and six subsequent structural analyses were also conducted for further examination on the temperature and heat flux of cable and von Mises stress of digital console, respectively. As consequences, effects of each parameter were quantified in detail and future applicability was briefly discussed. On the whole, higher profiles were obtained when Deardorff turbulence model was employed or polyvinyl chloride material and larger ventilation condition were considered. All the maximum values considered in this study met the allowable criteria so that safety action seems available by sustained integrity of the cable linked to digital console within operators' reaction time of 300 s.

일시 출입자로 분류된 핵의학과 출입 환경미화원은 주기적으로 타과와 업무순환을 하고, 또한 작업 시간과 환경 등의 변화가 많기 때문에 관리하기에 어려운 점이 있으며 따라서 이들의 분류를 명확히 할 필요가 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 핵의학과에서 근무하는 환경미화원의 피폭 상황을 분석하여 일시 출입자로 분류된 조건의 타당성에 대하여 검토해 보고 작업 환경의 변화 및 근무 시간의 조절이 필요한가를 알아보았다. 우선 먼저 PET실과 혈액 검사실에서 근무하는 환경미화원과 감마 카메라실에서 근무하는 환경 미화원 2명을 대상으로 한 달간 근무 시간 중에 OSL을 각각 착용시켜 개인 피폭 선량을 측정하였다. 둘째로 survey meter를 이용하여 두 명의 환경미화원의 작업 환경, 근무 형태에 따라 시간대 별로 핵의학과 내 14개 구역을 선정, 총 10회 공간 선량률을 측정한 결과 이들의 피폭 선량은 연간 1mSv를 초과하지 않았으며, survey meter를 이용하여 조사한 결과 또한 연간 1 mSv를 초과하지 않을 것으로 추정되지만 그 수치가 1 mSv에 근접하였다. 따라서 일시 출입자로써의 분류를 좀 더 명확히 하기 위해서는 PET 안정실과 같은 피폭이 상대적으로 많은 구역에서의 노출 확률을 줄이기 위하여 이들에게 방사선 관리 구역내 교육을 실시하고, 또한 근무시간 및 근무 형태를 적절히 변경한다면 이들의 피폭 선량은 확연히 줄어들 것으로 사료된다.

Optimizing energy usage for maximum efficiency is an essential goal for manufacturing plants in every industrial manufacturing sector. The generation and distribution of purifying compressed air is a large expense incurred in practically all manufacturing processes. Not only is the generation and treatment expensive equipment of compressed air, but frequent maintenance and effective operation is also required. As a plant's compressed air system is often an integral part of the production process, it needs to be reliable, efficient, and easy to be maintain. In this paper, we study to find operating method to save energy from the adsorption dryer in the process of purifying compressed air, which is required for a clean room production site in "A" company. The compressed air passes through a pressure vessel with two "towers" filled with a material such as activated alumina, silica gel, molecular sieve or other desiccant material. This desiccant material attracts the water from the compressed air via adsorption. As the water clings to the desiccant, the desiccant particle becomes saturated. Therefore, Adsorption dryer is an extremely significant facility which removes the moisture in the air $70^{\circ}C$ below the dew point temperature while using a lot of energy. Also, the energy consumption of the adsorption dryer can be varied by various operating conditions (time, pressure, temperature, etc). Therefore, based on existing operating experiments, we have searched operating condition to maximize energy saving by changing operating conditions of the facility. However, due to a short experiment period (from September to October), further research will be focused on considering seasonality.
