A lead slowing-down spectrometer (LSDS) system is a promising nondestructive assay technique that enables a quantitative measurement of the isotopic contents of major fissile isotopes in spent nuclear fuel and its pyroprocessing counterparts, such as $^{235}U$, $^{239}Pu$, $^{241}Pu$, and, potentially, minor actinides. The LSDS system currently under development at the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (Daejeon, Korea) is planned to utilize a high-flux ($>10^{12}n/cm^2{\cdot}s$) neutron source comprised of a high-energy (30 MeV)/high-current (~2 A) electron beam and a heavy metal target, which results in a very intense and complex radiation field for the facility, thus demanding structural shielding to guarantee the safety. Optimization of the structural shielding design was conducted using MCNPX for neutron dose rate evaluation of several representative hypothetical designs. In order to satisfy the construction cost and neutron attenuation capability of the facility, while simultaneously achieving the aimed dose rate limit (< $0.06{\mu}Sv/h$), a few shielding materials [high-density polyethylene (HDPE)eBorax, $B_4C$, and $Li_2CO_3$] were considered for the main neutron absorber layer, which is encapsulated within the double-sided concrete wall. The MCNP simulation indicated that HDPE-Borax is the most efficient among the aforementioned candidate materials, and the combined thickness of the shielding layers should exceed 100 cm to satisfy the dose limit on the outside surface of the shielding wall of the facility when limiting the thickness of the HDPE-Borax intermediate layer to below 5 cm. However, the shielding wall must include the instrumentation and installation holes for the LSDS system. The radiation leakage through the holes was substantially mitigated by adopting a zigzag-shape with concrete covers on both sides. The suggested optimized design of the shielding structure satisfies the dose rate limit and can be used for the construction of a facility in the near future.

A shield was made by mixing materials such as bismuth(Bi) and barium(Ba) with silicon to evaluate its shielding ability. Bismuth was made into a shield by mixing a bismuth oxide(Bi₂O₃) colloidal solution and a silicon base and applied to a fibrous fabric, and barium was made by mixing lead oxide(PbO) and barium sulfate(BaSO₄) with a silicon curing agent and solidifying it to make a shield. The test was conducted according to the lead equivalent test method for X-ray protective products of the Korean Industrial Standard. The experiment was conducted by increasing the shielding body one by one from the test condition of 60 kVp, 200 mA, 0.1sec and 100 kVp, 200 mA, 0.1 sec. At 60 kVp, 2 lead oxide-barium sulfate shields, 2 bismuth oxide 1.5 mm shields, and 5 bismuth oxide 0.3 mm shields showed shielding ability equal to or higher than that of lead 0.5 mm. At 100 kVp, 2 lead oxide-barium sulfate shields and 2 bismuth oxide 1.5 mm shields showed shielding ability equal to or higher than that of lead 0.5 mm. It was confirmed that when using 2 pieces of lead oxide-barium sulfate and 1.5 mm of bismuth oxide, respectively, it has shielding ability equivalent to that of lead. Bismuth oxide and lead oxide-barium sulfate are lightweight and have excellent shielding ability, thus they have excellent properties to be used as an apron for radiation protection or other shielding materials.

In this paper, the shielding effectiveness of aluminum shielded room with using eddy-current is calculated and measured after fabricated. The size and thickness of shielded room are decided as $2.4{\times}2.4{\times}2.4[m^3]$ and 12[mm] after AC shielding characteristics by eddy-current of conductive materials is analyzed. To verify the shielding effectiveness, a rectangular helmholtz coil is fabricated to generate magnetic field of 1.37[${\mu}T$] and measured magnetic field inside shielding room for 0.01~10[Hz]. According to calculations and measurements, AC Shielding effectiveness by eddy-current in aluminum is very small for 0.01~2[Hz] and 5 times to 11 times for 5~10[Hz].

고온 분위기하의 가열시간이 방사성물질의 수송용기 등에 사용하기 위하여 개발한 개질(KNS(Kaeri Neutron Shield)-102) 및 수소 첨가된 (KNS-106) 비스페놀-A형 에폭시수지계와 페놀-노블락형(KNS-611) 에폭시수지계 중성자 차폐재들의 열분해온도, 열전도도, 열팽창 등의 열적 성질 및 인장강도, 압축강도, 굴곡강도, 비중, 무게변화, 수소함량변화 등의 역학적 성질에 미치는 영향을 검토하였다. 고온 분위기하에서 가열시간이 증가함에 따라 초기단계에서 중성자 차폐재, KNS-102, KNS-106 및 KNS-611의 열분해온도는 증가하는 것으로 나타났으나, 초기단계 이후에는 거의 영향을 받지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 가열시간의 증가에 따라 KNS-102와 KNS-106 차폐재의 열전도도는 감소하는 경향을 나타내었으나, KNS-611의 경우에는 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다. 반면 가열시간의 증가에 따라 중성자 차폐재들의 열팽창계수값은 모두 감소하였다. 고온 분위기하에서 가열시간의 증가에 따라 KNS-102와 KNS-611 차폐재의 인장강도 및 굴곡강도는 증가하는 경향을 나타내었으나, KNS-106은 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 그리고 고온 분위기하에서 가열시간은 중성자 차폐재들의 무게변화 및 수소함량의 변화에는 큰 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다.

Reduced tungsten bronze nanoparticles of ternary and quaternary compounds were prepared by adding sodium and cesium to crystal structures of tungsten trioxides ($Na_xCs_{0.33-x}WO_3$, x = 0, 0.11) while maintaining the overall alkali metal fraction at 0.33, in an attempt to control near infrared (NIR) shielding property in the particular wavelength range of 780 to 1200 nm. The structure and composition analysis of the quaternary compound, $Na_{0.11}Cs_{0.22}WO_3$, revealed that 93.1% of the hexagonal phase was formed, suggesting that both alkali metals were mainly inserted in hexagonal channel. The NIR shielding property for $Na_{0.11}Cs_{0.22}WO_3$ was remarkable, as this material demonstrated efficient transmittance of visible light up to 780 nm and enhancement in NIR shielding because of the blue-shifted absorption maximum in comparison to $Cs_{0.33}WO_3$.

3D 프린팅 기술은 4차산업 혁명 중 제조업의 혁신적인 기술로서 전망되고 있으며, 현재 바이오 의료 분야를 포함한 다양한 분야에서 활용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 3D 프린팅 기술을 이용한 제작 원료에 대한 방사선 차폐능을 평가하고자 몬테카를로 전산모사를 통해 프린팅 원료에 대한 검증을 수행하였다. 현재 범용으로 사용되는 FDM 방식의 3D 프린터에서 이용 가능한 원료들을 대상으로 하였으며, ICRU phan tom과 차폐체를 모의 모사한 후 방사선의 종류 및 에너지에 따른 입자 플루언스 평가를 통해 차폐 효과에 대해 분석하였다. 그 결과, 광자선의 경우 에너지 증가에 따라 차폐 효과는 점차 감소되는 경향을 보였고, 원료별 차폐 효과는 TPU, PLA, PVA, Nylon, ABS 순서로 점차적으로 낮아지는 결과를 나타냈다. 중성자선의 경우, 5~10 mm의 낮은 두께에서 반대로 선속이 증가되는 현상을 보였으나, 일정 두께 이상에서는 유효한 차폐 효과를 나타내었으며, 프린팅 원료별 차폐 효과는 Nylon, PVA, ABS, PLA, TPU 순서로 점차 낮아지는 결과를 보였다.

투명차폐재를 목적으로 Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) 투광성 박막을 제조하고 전자파 차폐특성에 대해 조사하였다. 박막은 RF magnetron co-sputtering 증착장비를 사용하여 제작하였다. RF 인가전력, Ar 및 $O_2$분압, 기판온도를 변화시키며 전기전도도와 투광성을 겸비한 박막의 조성과 구조에 관한 실험을 진행하였다. 최적의 증착조건은 $300^{\circ}C$의 기판온도, 20sccm의 아르곤 유량, 10sccm의 산소유량, 그리고 In과 Sn의 인가전력이 각각 50W와 30W일 경우였으며, 이때 얻어진 박막은 육안으로 분명할 정도의 투광성을 보였고 5.6$\times10^4$mho/m의 높은 전기전도도를 나타내었다. 이렇게 제조된 ITO 박막의 전자파 차폐효과를 차폐이론에 의해 분석하였다. 박막의 전기전도도, 두께, skin depth로부터 차폐기구(흡수손실, 반사손실, 다중반사 보정항)에 대해 고찰하였다. 계산된 차폐효과는 26dB의 값을 보여 투광성 차폐재로 ITO 박막의 사용 가능성을 제시할 수 있었다.
