  • The pool $(3m{\times}6m{\times}10m{\times}$ in Irradiated Materials Examination Facility is generally used to transport irradiated materials between a moving cask and hot-cell. During the operation in the pool such as loading/unloading the cask, holding specimen and bucket elevation, water maybe contaminated by radioactive or contaminated impurities from irradiated materials. Then, it must be purified and filtered continuously to keep lower radioactivity than that of regulation prescribed by RCA Korea Activity in a part of radioactive contamination control. This paper described radioactive contamination distribution of water as transported materials, which is related to effective operation of purification and filtration system.

  • In this paper, we reviewed briefly about the barrier materials for the radioactive waste disposal. The primary concept of the radioactive waste disposal is safety. The goal of the radioactive waste management is to assure that the environment is not adversely affected and also public. There are a wide variety of materials are available for the radioactive waste disposal or storage. Among those coal fly ash is one of the significant materials are used as a barrier material. Here we reported, the Calcium sulfo aluminate (CSA) from coal fly ash is effectively suitable for the radioactive waste disposal. This is one of the ways of utilization of waste and manufactured the valuable materials for future indeeds.

  • Recently, the danger for radioactive materials has become a hot topic. Beginning with the Chernobyl nuclear accident in 1996, in 2011, the Fukushima nuclear power plant in Japan suffered major damage such as large-scale casualties and radioactive dangerous area selection. Concerns about leakage of radioactive materials due to recent earthquakes have been deepening in Korea, such as Wolsong Nuclear Power Plant in Gyeongju, and there is a growing interest in the safety of radioactive materials through the media and the media. However, the route to exposure to radioactive materials is not limited to these large-scale nuclear accidents. Typical examples of this are radioactive substances exposed in daily life. In the case of radon gas, the danger is being revealed through current events programs and news, and natural radiation exposure is attracting attention.

  • The present study aimed to assess the radioactive hazards associated with the application of granitoid rocks in building materials. An HPGe spectrometer was used to detect the levels of the radioactive elements uranium-238, thorium-232, and potassium-40 in the granitoid rocks. The results showed that the levels of these elements were lower (38.32 < 33 Bq kg-1), comparable (47.19-45 Bq kg-1) and higher (992.26 ≫> 412 Bq kg-1) than the worldwide limits for 238U, 232Th, and 40K concentration, respectively. The exposure to gamma radiation of granitoid rocks was studied by various radiological hazard variables like the absorbed dose rate (Dair), the outdoor and indoor annual effective dose (AEDout and AEDin), and excess lifetime cancer risk (ELCR). A variety of statistical methods, including Pearson correlation, principal component analysis (PCA), and hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) was used, to study the relationship between the radioactive elements and the radiological hazards. According to statistical analysis, the main radioactive risk of granitoid rocks is contributed to by the elements uranium-238, thorium-232, and potassium-40. Granitoid rocks can be applied in building materials, but under control to prevent risk to the public.
