VLC (Visible Light Communication) is a wireless communication method using light that is visible to the human eye. It has a major advantage that it causes no interference to RF-based devices. This makes wireless communication possible in RF hazardous areas such as nuclear facilities. In order to apply VLC communication in harsh environment of nuclear power plant, the high luminance LEDs, which are key components of the VLC communication, have been gamma-ray irradiated at the dose rate of 4kGy/h during 72 hours up to a total dose of 288 kGy. The radiation induced color-center was formed in the LED housing cap made of transparent plastic or acryl material. The beam degradations of high luminance LEDs by high dose-rate gammaray irradiation are analyzed using color CCD image processing technology.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the protective effect of the Perilla frutescens cv. Chookyoupjaso mutant water extract (PFWE) on gamma ray-induced oxidative stress in mice. Gamma-ray is one of the sources for inducing oxidative stress. The study was divided into 6 groups with 6 mice for each treatment. Groups I and II were treated with saline (vehicle) only, groups III, IV, V, and VI were pretreated with PFWE 10, 20, 50, $50mg\;kg^{-1}$ respectively for 2 weeks before gamma radiation. And then groups II, III, IV, V were irradiated. We found that the activities of aspartate transaminase (AST) and alanine transaminase (ALT) were increased and the activities of antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), and glutathione reductase (GR) were decreased by irradiation in mice. However, treatment of PFWE attenuated the activities of AST and ALT in a dose-dependent manner in irradiated mice. Furthermore, treatment of PFWE significantly increased the activities of SOD, GPx, and GR in a dose-dependent manner in irradiated mice, except for the CAT. Interestingly, the activities of GPx and GR were significantly increased by PFWE treatment. Taken together, PFWE could be effective in protecting on gamma ray-induced oxidative stress in mice.

이 연구는 ${\gamma}$선 및 x선 조사 시 AuNPs 입자의 방사선감수성의 향상을 생물물리학적으로 평가하기 위해 두 가지 실험을 시행하였다. 생물학적 방사선 감수성의 평가에 앞서 6시간, 12시간, 18시간, 24시간 incubation한 후 세포생존율(surviving Fraction, SF)값을 비교하여 AuNPs 입자의 독성 여부와 세포질에 입자의 균일 된 분포 여부를 확인 해 보았다. incubation time에 따라 세포생존율(surviving Fraction, SF)이 낮아지지 않음을 확인한 다음 ${\gamma}$선 및 x선 조사 후 Clonogenic assay 실시하고 세포생존율(surviving Fraction, SF)을 구하여 방사선 감수성을 비교 평가하였다. 방사선량 증가 시 세포생존율(surviving Fraction, SF)이 계속해서 낮아졌고 8Gy 조사 시 최대치로 약 30%의 차이가 있음을 확인하였다. 또한 Gate v6.1을 사용하여 몬테카를로 시뮬레이션 후 percent depth dose(PDD)를 구한 뒤 선량 평가하여 약 40% Dose Enhancement가 있음을 확인하였다. 두 가지 실험에 따라 생물물리학적으로 AuNPs 입자는 방사선 감수성이 향상되도록 하며 이는 nanoparticle을 이용한 방사선 병합 치료 시 치료 성적 향상에 큰 도움이 될 것으로 보인다.

두부 모의피폭체를 활용하여 MV X, ${\gamma}$선에서의 선량증가 효과와 금 나노입자의 크기, 물질의 농도에 대한 의존성을 평가하였다. MCNPX code를 이용하여 Monte Carlo 시뮬레이션 기법을 적용하였으며, 입사 에너지는 4, 6, 10, 15 MV X선, Co60 ${\gamma}$선을 사용하였다. 두부 모의피폭체 내에 종양을 묘사하고 내부에 25, 75, 125 nm 직경의 금 나노입자를 삽입하였다. 나노입자의 농도는 5, 15, 25 mg/g을 적용하였으며, 선량 증가 물질이 없을 때를 기준으로 하여 선량증가비를 산출하였다. 입사 에너지가 낮을수록, 선량증가 물질의 농도가 높을수록 높은 선량증가비를 나타내었다. 나노입자의 크기는 입사 에너지가 낮고, 물질의 농도가 높을수록 상대적으로 높은 의존성을 보였다. 금 나노입자를 이용한 선량증가 효과를 나타내는데 기초자료로 활용할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Postoperative radiotherapy of breast cancer makes it possible to reduce loco-regional recurrence of breast cancer. The treatment technique, which can reduce the low-dose region at the junction and lung, is required. To produce proper dose distribution of internal mammary chain and chest wall, authors tried to find the method to expose $^{60}Co\;\gamma-ray$ on internal mammary region and 7MeV electron on chest wall. Exposure time of $^{60}Co\;\gamma$ and monitor unit of 9MeV were selected so that dose of $^{60}Co$ at 4cm depth was the same as that of 7Mev electron at $80\%$ dose depth. The position and direction of electron beam were changed for $^{60}Co$ beam: $0^{\circ},\;5^{\circ}$ for 0cm seperation; $0^{\circ},\;5^{\circ},\;10^{\circ}$ for 0.5cm seperation; $5^{\circ},\;10^{\circ},\;15^{\circ}$ for 1cm seperation. The results are as followings. 1. When the seperation of two fields was increased, dose on the axis of $^{60}Co$ beam was increased and dose at the junction region decreased while the volume of lung to be exposed to high dose and hot spot size were irregularly changed. 2. The dose distribution in the target volume of internal mammary and chest wall was most ideal when the seperation of two fields was $0\~0.5cm$ and the direction of electron beam was parallel to $^{60}Co$ beam.

The radiation-induced changes taking place in poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) exposed to $^{60}Co$ $\gamma-ray$ irradiation were investigated in correlation with the applied doses. Samples were irradiated in air at room temperature by $^{60}Co$ $\gamma-ray$ to doses in the range of 200 to 1000kGy. Various properties of the irradiated PVDF were studied using FTIR, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), gel fraction and elongation. $^{60}Co\gamma-ray$ irradiation was found to induce changes in chemical, thermal, mechanical and structural properties of PVDF and such changes vary depending on the radiation dose.

Lignin is one of the natural macromolecules. Every year large amount of lignin arises from the cellulose production as a by-product worldwide. The use of lignin as a precursor to carbonaceous materials has gained interest due to its low cost and high availability. Therefore, we improved the properties of alkali-lignin by exposing to gamma ray in this study. The alkali-lignin is irradiated by Gamma ray irradiation with varying doses. The char yields of alkali-lignin were investigated by increasing up to 50 kGy. The cross-linking and bond scission of alkali-lignin occur simultaneously during gamma ray irradiation. The crosslinking was predominantly accelerated by gamma ray irradiation up to 50 kGy. Bond scission predominantly occurs between 50 and 500 kGy. ESCA analysis indicated that the alcoholic carbon increase up to 50 kGy. Solution viscosity was increased as absorbed dose increased up to 20 kGy. In addition, the aromatic ring was not influenced by irradiation at doses ranging from 20 to 500 kGy as shown in FT-IR results.

이 연구는 감마선 처리에 의한 장미($Rosa$ $hybrida$ Hort.) 신품종을 개발하기 위한 효과적인 방법을 개발하고 돌연변이 발생 형태를 알아보기 위해 실시하였다. 장미 스피델라와 커버넷 두 품종에 감마선($^{60}Co$ 선원)을 선량별(0, 30, 50, 70, 90, 110, 130, 150, 170Gy)로 조사하여 돌연변이 유기에 적정한 선량과 변이의 발생 양상을 구명하였다. 약 50% 식물체가 고사하는 반치사($LD_{50}$) 선량은 품종에 따라 차이가 있었는데 '스피델라'는 110Gy에서, '커버넷'은 150Gy이었다. 식물체의 50% 신초길이 감소 선량은 '스피델라'에서 70Gy 선량 정도 이었는데 비해 '커버넷'에서는 110Gy 선량에서 나타났다. 분홍색의 '스피델라'와 적색의 '커버넷'에 30-170Gy 선량의 감마선을 처리하여 다양한 색의 완전변이, 키메라, 모자익 꽃잎을 가진 변이체를 유기할 수 있었다. '스피델라' 에서 흰색, 상아색, 분홍색을 띤 상아색, 옅은 분홍색 그리고 진분홍색의 꽃잎을 가진 변이가 출현하였고, '커버넷'에서 분홍색, 진분홍색, 자홍색, 주황색, 그리고 진한 자색의 꽃잎을 가진 변이가 발생하였다. 돌연변이 유기를 위해서 식물체 생존율, 신초생장, 돌연변이 발생률을 고려할 때 '스피델라'는 70-90Gy, '커버넷'은 90-110Gy의 선량 처리가 적당하였다.

CZT detectors, which are compound semiconductors that have been widely used recently for gamma-ray detection purposes, are difficult to detect neutrons because direct interaction with them does not occur unlike gamma-rays. In this paper, a method of detecting and determining energy levels (fast neutrons and thermal neutrons) of neutrons, in addition of identifying energy and nuclide of gamma-rays, and evaluating gamma dose rates using a CZT semiconductor detector is described. Neutrons may be detected by a secondary photoelectric effect or compton scattering process with a characteristic gamma-ray of 558.6 keV generated by a capture reaction (¹¹³Cd + ¹n → ¹¹⁴Cd + 𝛾) with cadmium (Cd) in the CZT detector. However, in the case of fast neutrons, the probability of capture reaction with cadmium (Cd) is very low, so it must be moderated to thermal neutrons using a moderator and the material and thickness of moderator should be determined in consideration of the portability and detection efficiency of the equipment. Conversely, in the case of thermal neutrons, the detection efficiency decreases due to shielding effect of moderator itself, so additional CZT detector that do not contain moderator must be configured. The CZT detector that does not contain moderator can be used to evaluate energy, nuclide, and gamma dose-rate for gamma-rays. The technology proposed in this paper provides a method for detecting both neutrons and gamma-rays using a CZT detector.
