초록

Tritium is used in various types of parts such as luminous bodies. These parts are maintained for inspection and replacement at a facility licensed to use radioactive isotopes. This study analyzed the concentration of tritium in working facilities to supplement and develop the safety management system for the maintenance environment of parts containing tritium. In addition, the internal exposure dose was evaluated to analyze the effects of leaked tritium when continuously exposed to workers. As a result of evaluating the internal exposure dose for workers for 30 days, the maximum was 9.70 μSv and the average was 1.45 μSv. Based on the results of this study, the internal radiation exposure safety of workers handling parts containing tritium was confirmed, and additional protective measures to prevent unnecessary exposure to tritium were suggested. This study is expected to contribute to supplementing and developing the radiation safety management system.
