초록

환경방사능 분석기술은 원자력시설의 가동중 정상 및 비정상 상태시 이상판단과 지역특성에 따른 주변환경 방사능의 특성 및 거동파악 등을 하는데 필요한 기술로 원전 가동전, 후 환경방사능량을 비교함으로서 방사능 오염 및 변화상황을 파악할 수 있다. 국내에는 현재 관련법에 따라 규제기관 및 관련기관에 의해 환경감시가 계속되어오고 있으나 분석기술에 대한 한국규격이 없으므로 분석절차가 서로 상이하고 분석결과의 상대오차율이 커서 환경방사선 감시결과에 대한 신뢰성이 떨어지고 있다. 따라서 토양시료에 대한 감마핵종 분석에 한정하여 기수행된 측정방법 및 결과 둥을 비교분석하므로서 원전주변 환경방사능 감시목적에 적합한 분석기술의 신뢰도 향상 및 상대오차율 최소화 방안을 도출하였다

An estimate of a change in radioactivity's circumstances around the nuclear power plant is validated with the results of the radioactivity measurements are compared. In this study, to further enhance the reliability of the results obtained from the environmental radioactivity measurements and analysis around the nuclear power plants that have been carried out up to the present. In the korea standard, there is the technical analysis guide for general stable chemical element's, but there is not the technical analysis guide for the radionuclei. therefore the environmental sample collection, the pretreatment of the sample and radionuclide analysis in the sample, the result's of the environmental radioactivity measurements by each organization, etc. are different. It is not sufficient for the database to forecasting a change in radioactivity's circumstances. A comparative study of collection and pretreatment techniques for the soil sample, the results by comparison, the method of minimizing the relative error are proposed. At one side of sample collection, there are going to considered that the surroundings of sample collection like the lay of the land, the provision of the selection standard for the area and pathway of radionuclide adhesion, the coherence of sample collection, etc.. at another side of pretreatment of the sample and measurement in the case of soil sample, how to do homogeneously the soil particle size and the standard tools, i.e. kinds of meshes, must to be selected.
