Gamma-ray Detector for gamma-ray imaging device is composed of a shielding body for shielding gamma-rays incident from the radiation source. Distribution of the gamma ray can be represented by the distribution information on the direction in which the detecting section and the signal through the incident hole of collimator. The role of the shield is important because all signals should be treated as noise except for the signal from the incident hole.In this paper In this paper, we have produced a compact, lightweight and Collimator shield by changing the structure and physical properties with respect to the collimator and shielding of lead-based gamma-ray detectors. And we analyzed the shielding effectiveness relative to the incident gamma ray sphere measured signal value through the gamma irradiation test facility. The results confirmed that the production and Collimator shielding the imaging device Implementing more efficient to implement.

In this study, we perform the weight reduction and miniaturization of the shielding element that is applied for gamma-ray detectors for imaging of gamma-ray source. Through previous studies, we implemented a lead-based shielding element that represents the shielding effectiveness and performance of commercially available gamma-ray imaging apparatus similar to the shielding body. In this paper, we designed a tungsten-based shield for weight reduction and miniaturization than lead-based shield. We performed the MCNP simulation for shield design and then we obtained the results of reducing the weight of the 17% and 51% of the volume.

In this study, we perform the structure change of the shielding this is applied for gamma-ray detectors for imaging of gamma-ray source. Through previous studies, we implemented the commercially available gamma-ray imaging apparatus similar to the shielding body but weight reduction, center of gravity moving of shield. In this paper, we changed a shield for motion control detectors efficient movement. We performed the MCNP simulation of shield design and then we obtained the results of reducing the weight of the 17% and moving of center of gravity the shield center.

A shielding calculation has been carried out for a storage vault of $5292(42{\times}42{\times}3)$ waste drums in which the mixed radioactive gamma-emitters are contained. The required ordinary concrete shielding thickness seems to be approximately 50cm. The results in terms of dose rate for polyenergy gammas appear to be considerably higher than those of the averaged energy gamma.

The gamma energy distributions at the major working places during refueling outage of Korean PWR nuclear power plants were measured. In order to estimate the dose reduction effect of a lead vest, Monte Carlo calculation method was used. For the simulations, the MIRD-V phantom with a lead vest was formed and exposed to the measured radiation field. The average measured gamma energy is lower than that of standard which is generally applied to radiation protection procedures. For the efficient use of a lead vest and achievement of radiation protection purpose, it is necessary to estimate the energy distribution of radiation field at working places.

The gamma-ray shielding effects of magnetite concretes have been measured using a broad beam Co-60 gamma-ray source. Mathematical formulae for a trans-mission ratio-to-shield thickness relation were derived from the attenuation curve obtained experimentally and are I (x) = I (ο) exp(-$\mu$X) exp(1.03$\times$10$^{-1}$ X-3.38$\times$10$^{-3}$ X$^2$＋5.29$\times$10$^{-5}$ X$^3$) when X< 20 cm, I (x) =I (ο) exp(-$\mu$X) exp(4.66$\times$10$^{-2}$ X＋2.12$\times$10$^{-1}$ ) when X＞20 cm. Here I (x) is radiation intensity after passing through a thickness X of absorber, I(o) is the initial radiation intensity, $\mu$ is the linear attenuation coefficient of magnetite concrete and is given by (0.0532$\rho$＋ 0.0083)$^{4)}$ $cm^{-1}$ / in accordance with an earlier study, and X is the thickness of absorber. In addition, a model shield which is a rectangular magnetite concrete box with walls of 8cm thickness walls and internal demensions of 40$\times$40$\times$40 cm was constructed and its shielding effect has been measured. The emergent radiation flux appears to be greater with this configuration than with a slab shield of equal thickness.

Accurate measurement of uranium enrichment is very important in nuclear material accountability. The analysis uncertainty of the uranium enrichment measurement with gamma-ray analysis was studied in the present work. FRAM (Fixed energy Response function Analysis with Multiple efficiencies) code was used to determine the uranium enrichment. If the shield materials were placed between the detector and the sample, the error was measured and analyzed. Measurement time was varied and the dependency of the analysis uncertainty on the measurement time was studied. Transmitted gamma-ray intensities and FWHMs of the peaks in the energy spectrum were measured as the shield thickness was varied. The transmitted gamma-ray intensity follows shape of the exponential function, and the FWHM was almost independent of the shield thickness. The uncertainty of FRAM analysis was studied when the thick shield material was placed between the detector and the sample. Our work could be helpful in analysis of the fissile material in uranium sample.

ENDF/B-VI 핵단면적자료를 기초로 생성된 BUGLE93$^{[1]}$ 라이브러리를 이용하여 울진 3.4호기 원자로 주변의 콘크리트 일차차폐벽에 대한 방사선차폐해석을 수행하였다. 중성자 및 감마선 수송계산은 일차원 각분할 해석코드인 ANISN-ORNL$^{[2]}$ 을 이용하였다. 또한, 기존의 영광 3.4호기 설계에 이용하였던 CASK$^{[3]}$ 라이브러리를 대체할 경우 예상되는 차폐효과의 변화를 평가하기 위하여 노심으로부터 일차차폐벽 사이의 모든 매질에 대한 중성자 및 감마선속을 계산하고. 계산결과를 비교.분석하여 제시하였다. 중성자선속에 대한 분석결과, BUGLE93을 이용한 계산결과는 원자로용기 내부에서는 CASK를 이용한 결과보다 적은, 보다 현실적인 결과를 제공하지만 일차차폐벽내에서는 CASK를 이용한 결과보다 오히려 큰 선속을 보였다. 그러나 이차감마선에 의한 분석결과는 원자로용기 내부에서의 큰 차이에도 불구하고 일차차폐벽을 통과하면서 두결과가 거의 일치하였다. 이것은 BUGLE93 라이브러리가 노심 및 철성분에 대해서는 증가된 핵단면적을 제공하지만 콘크리트 성분에 대한 핵단면적은 오히려 감소하였기 때문이다. 결론적으로. 최소 7피트 두께의 일차차폐벽 외부에서 중성자선속은 감마선속에 비하여 무시할 수 있을 정도이므로. 원자로 내부영역에서 CASK 라이브러리와는 다른 결과를 보이는 BUGLE93 라이브러리를 원자로 일차차폐벽의 방사선차폐해석에 사용할 경우 기존의 CASK 라이브러리를 이용한 해석결과와 동일한 결과를 보이는 것으로 평가되었다.
