초록

본 논문에서는 플라스틱 Scintillator와 NaI(TI) 검출기를 이용하여 움직이는 차량 적재물에 존재하는 다수의 방사선원 위치를 3차원으로 판별하는 측정시스템을 제안한다. 제안하는 시스템은 방사선량 측정용 플라스틱 Scintillator, 2채널 펄스 카운터, 핵종 분석용 NaI(TI) 검출기 및 1채널 MCA Board 등으로 구성된다. 방사선원 위치판별 알고리즘은 방사선량의 거리의 자승에 반비례한 특성($1/r^2$)과 장치와의 각도(${\theta}$)에 따른 보상을 통해 계산된 방사선원의 CPS 값의 비율을 SVM 분류를 통하여 방사선원의 위치(X, Y)를 구할 수 있다. (Z) 좌표 값은 단위 시간당 움직이는 대상체의 속도에 따라 정해지게 되며 이는 단위주기당 백그라운드 스펙트럼을 제외한 순수 핵종의 스펙트럼을 분석한 후 핵종 유무 판별을 진행한 뒤 해당 핵종의 위치를 판별하게 된다. 본 논문에서 제안한 시스템의 위치 판별 실험 결과 ${\pm}1m$ 이내의 국제표준오차를 나타내었다. 따라서 본 논문에서 제안한 시스템의 유효성이 입증되었다.

In this paper, we develop a measurement system that uses 3D Scintillator and NaI(TI) Detector to 3-dimensionally identify the location of multiple radiation sources in moving vehicle loads. The radiation measurement system consists of radiation measurement (plastic scintillator), 2-channel Pulse Counter Board, nuclide analysis (NaI(TI) detector) and 1 channel MCA Board. The source locator algorithm calculates the coordinate value of the ratio of the CPS value($1/r^2$) of the source according to the angle(${\theta}$) in inverse proportion to the square of the distance(X, Y) through the SVM classification. The coordinate values are input every predetermined period of the spectrum, and after analyzing the spectrum per unit cycle, the position of the nuclide at the time is calculated by determining whether or not the nuclide is present in the remaining part except for the background area. As a result of the position discrimination test, the error within the international standard of ${\pm}1m$ was shown. Thus, the utility of the proposed system has been demonstrated.
