Abstract

The study attempted to analyze items presented in Act on safety control of radioactive rays around living environment, which has been recently enacted. The test items have been divided into cosmic rays, cosmic rays, terrestrial radiation, and byproduct, etc., and the selected locations for measurement included an airplane at 8000m in the air, mountainous area at 1000m above sea level, 15m-underground building, construction site, and seashore at 0m altitude. The test showed that, based on cosmic rays, plane at 8000m in the air had 4.91mSv/y of effective dose per year. The mountainous area at 1000m above sea level, which was chosen to measure cosmic rays and terrestrial radiation, was measured 0.35mSv higher than the seashore at 0m in altitude due to the effect of cosmic rays and terrestrial radiation from the greater height above sea level. The construction site, chosen as a location to measure byproduct, showed the highest value among the items with 6.66mSv, which is as 10times high as that of a completed building. The seashore at 0m in altitude had 5.96mSv, and, 15m-underground building, based on terrestrial radiation, was the lowest with 4.91mSv. This suggests that, despite the assumption that terrestrial radiation will have greater effect deeper underground, it did not affect inside the building significantly. This study showed that the items presented in Act on safety control of radioactive rays around living environment were not close to effective dose limit for radiation workers proposed by ICRP. However, they were between 4 and 7 times higher than that for general public. This suggests that there should be continuous research on and attention to Safe Management of Daily Surrounding Radiation Act, which is still at its beginning stage.

최근 시행된 생활주변방사선안전관리법에 제시된 항목들을 분석하고자 하였다. 실험 항목을 우주방사선, 지각방사선, 공정부산물 등으로 나누고, 그에 따른 측정 장소를 상공 8000m의 비행기, 해발 1000m의 산악지대, 지하 15m 건물, 건설 현장, 해발 0m의 바닷가를 선정하였다. 실험결과 우주방사선을 기준으로 상공 8000m 비행기에서는 유효선량이 연간 2.45mSv로 측정되었다. 우주방사선과 지각방사선의 측정 장소로 선정된 해발 1000m 산악지대는 기준점인 0m인 바닷가에 비해 0.17mSv 높게 측정되었다. 공정부산물의 측정 장소로 선정된 건설 현장은 3.32mSv로 실험항목 중 가장 높은 수치를 나타내었다. 이는 완공된 건물 보다 약 5배 정도 높은 선량이라는 것을 알 수 있었다. 해발 0m인 바닷가는 2.89mSv로 측정되었고, 지각 방사선을 기준으로 설정된 지하 15m 건물에서는 2.36mSv로 가장 낮게 측정되었다. 이를 통해, 지하로 내려갈수록 지각 방사선을 많이 받을 것으로 예상되었으나 건물 안에서의 지각 방사선은 크게 영향을 주지 않는 것을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구를 통해 생활주변방사선안전관리법에서 제시된 각 항목들은 ICRP에서 제시한 방사선작업종사자의 연간 유효선량 기준에는 크게 미치지 않았다. 하지만 일반인의 연간 유효선량보다는 약 2~3배 정도 높은 선량인 것을 알 수 있었다. 이를 통해 아직 시행 초기 단계인 생활주변방사선안전관리법에 대한 지속적인 연구와 관심이 필요한 것으로 사료된다.
