  • Background: This study aims to analyze radiation safety management and regulatory perceptions, focusing on companies that must report radiation sources. The intent is to reduce the gap between regulation measures and addressing real concerns while improving practical safety management measures and regulations for all stakeholders. Materials and Methods: Radiation safety officers at a total of 244 reporting companies using radiation generators (79.8%) and sealed radioisotopes (15.1%) were surveyed using a questionnaire. Results and Discussion: The perception that regulation is stronger than the actual risk of the radiation source used was 3.47 points (out of 5 points), indicating a score above average. The most important factors and considerations were education and training (48%) as a human factor, safety devices of the radiation source (71.3%) as a hazardous material factor, the use of radiation (50.8%) as an organizational environment, and the radiation effect of nearby facilities (67.2%) as a physical environment. Radiation safety management educational experience (F= 5.030, p< 0.01), the group with high subjective knowledge (t= 6.017, p< 0.001), and the group with high objective knowledge (t= 1.989, p< 0.05) was found to be better at radiation safety management. Conclusion: It is necessary to standardize the educational experience regarding radiation safety management because each staff member has individual differences in educational experience. It is necessary to provide more information on how to solve radiation accidents via educational content. Applying radiation safety regulations based on the factors that significantly affect radiation safety management shown in this survey will help improve safety.

  • 무기단결정을 광 펄스로 여기 한 격자에서 광학이나 음향포논을 이용하여 광 여기 반도체가 서브피코초로 관측하고 있다. 다수의 회절 점으로 결정구조를 파악하는 것으로써 광 여기에 의한 분자결정 구조변화를 관측하는 것이 보고되고 있고 또한 반응이 진행되고 있는 중에 분자구조를 하나하나 영상으로 관측하는 것이 연구되고 있다. 단백질 분자구조의 시간에 따른 변화와 용액 중 분자의 광반응에 따른 구조변화를 파악하고 있는데 이것은 시스템에 따라 펨토 초에서 초 단위까지 다양하고 광범위하게 고도의 시간분해능으로 계측할 수 있는 X선 측정기술이다.

  • In order to control the railway noise. we should know the radiation characteristic of the noise during the train passage Generally, the railway noise sources for conventional trains are classified by the rolling noise and power unit noise in tangent track. In this Paper. we describe on a train model that is considered to be a row of point sources to calculate the radiation characteristic The calculation results are compared with short distance measurement of three kinds of trains (EMU, Mookungwha, Saemaul). It is shown that the radiation characteristic of the rolling noise that is major noise source of electric multiple unit is dipole type. We know that characteristic of the engine noise is radiated as the cosine type.

  • Background: The moderated neutron calibration fields using $^{241}Am$-Be sources and a graphite moderator have been constructed at the Facility of Radiation Standard (FRS) in the Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA). Materials and Methods: The neutron spectra of the fields were evaluated by the Monte-Carlo calculations and measurements using the Bonner Multi-sphere Spectrometer. Results and Discussion: The fields have continuous neutron spectra from several MeV to thermal neutron energy, with fluence-averaged energies of 0.84 MeV and 0.60 MeV. Reference values of fluence rates and ambient/personal dose equivalent rates were determined from neutron spectra by measurements. Conclusion: Currently, the fields are available for calibration or performance test of neutron measuring instruments.

  • Extreme ultraviolet (EUV) radiation of wavelength $\lambda$~10 nm or photon energy hv~100 eV is presently a blank region in the electromagnetic spectrum where applications are concerned. This is because no powerful sources were available until when intense-laser-produced plasmas are available. Both a new laboratory-sized source of EUV radiation and its new applications in lithography of semiconductor devices have been developed. (omitted)

  • 방사선 사고 지역 및 제염이 필요한 지역에서의 안전하고 신속한 제염작업을 진행하기 위해서는 방사선 오염원에 대한 다양한 정보 획득이 필요하다. 특히 방사선원의 정확한 위치와 분포 정보의 파악은 신속한 후속 조치 및 오염원 제거를 위해 반드시 필요하며, 작업자의 방사선 피폭을 최소화할 수 있다. 방사선원의 위치와 분포 정보를 획득하기 위해서는 방사선 분포 탐지 장치를 사용한다. 방사선 분포 탐지 장치의 경우 일반적으로 탐지 센서 부가 단일 센서로 구성되며, 단일 센서의 물리적 한계로 인해 탐지 범위가 제한되는 문제점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 방사선 오염 분포 영상화 장치에 사용되는 단일 센서의 탐지 감도 제어를 위하여 보정 검출기를 적용하였으며, 이를 통해 제한적이었던 선량률 탐지 범위를 향상하였다. 또한 감마선 조사 시험을 통해 방사선 분포 탐지 범위의 개선을 확인하였다.

  • Accurate reconstruction of radiation field and path planning are very important for the safety of operators in the process of dismantling nuclear facilities. Based on radial basis function (RBF) interpolation algorithm, this paper discussed the application of inverse multiquadric radial basis Function (IMRBF) interpolation method to the reconstruction of gamma radiation field, and proved the feasibility of reconstructing a radiation field with multiple γ sources. The average relative errors of IMRBF interpolation results were 4.28% and 8.76%, respectively, for the experimental scenarios with single and double gamma sources. After comparing the consistency between the simulated scene and the experimental scene, IMRBF method and Cubic Spline method were respectively used to reconstruct the gamma radiation field by Geant4 simulation data. The results showed that the interpolation accuracy of IMRBF method was superior to that of Cubic Spline method. Further, more RBF interpolation algorithms were used to reconstruct the multi-γ source radiation field, and then the Probabilistic Roadmap (PRM) algorithm was used to optimize the human walking path in the radiation field reconstructed by different interpolation methods. The optimal paths in radiation fields generated by multiple interpolation methods were compared. The results herein contribute to a comprehensive understanding of RBF interpolation methods in reconstructing γ radiation fields and their application in optimizing paths in radiation environments. The insights may provide valuable information for decision-making in radiation protection during the decommissioning of nuclear facilities.
