광도 측정의 기본단위인 칸델라 눈금을 확립하는 방법에는 흑체에서 방출되는 분광복사휘도를 기준으로 사용하는 광원 기반 방법과 극저온 절대 복사계(absolute cryogenic radiometer； ACR)로 부터 출발하여 실현하는 검출기 기반의 두 가지 방법이 사용된다. ACR를 사용하면서 검출기 기반 칸델라 눈금의 불확도가 흑체의 온도 측정 불확도로부터 전파되는 불확도 보다 휠씬 작기 때문에 각국의 국가 측정 표준 대표기관에서 검출기 기반 칸텔라 눈금을 실현하고, 교정이나 측정 서비스를 제공하고 있다. (중략)

As the pulse heights from a NaI(Tl) detector vary with the temperature of the measuring environment a significant change in temperature may affect the energy calibration of the spectrometer. The auto-adjustment of the channel corresponding to a pulse heights can be achieved by introducing an external reference source to compensate the temperature dependency of pulse heights, but unfavorable increases of the Compton continuum are caused due to the external source. In this study, the total absorption peaks dominant in the typical environmental gamma spectrum-239 keV from $^{212}Pb$, 351 keV from $^{214}Pb$, 1460 keV from $^{40}K$ and 2614 keV from $^{208}Tl$ for examples - were used as reference in the correction of energy calibration. With these peaks, the program to calibrate the energy of the s spectrum was developed using Microsoft Visual Basic language. The program developed here was applied to the environmental spectra measured at intervals of 30 minutes in the temperature range of from $-20^{\circ}C$ to $10^{\circ}C$ to demonstrate the validity and applicability. As a result of the test, the correction scheme appeared to be effective in the temperature changes encountered in the usual environment.

A simple laboratory-made radioactive source to check the integrity of a gamma spectrometry system with HPGe detector was developed. The check source consists of radium-riched soil which was ground in size of less than 0.154mm and contained in air tight cylinderical vial, and provides photons with 12 distinct energies. The spectra of the check source were measured once a month during one year, analyzed the charactreictics of their peaks. When the gamma spectrometry system was in normal state, the areas and FWHMs of the gamma rays with more than 3% gamma emission rate in radium and its decay products was constant within standard deviation 2% and 3%, respectively, except 77 keV peak. And it was found that this check source can play a sufficient role to check the integrity of a gamma spectrometry system using 10 peaks in the range of 77 to 2202 keV.

토양수분량은 그 양은 작지만 다양한 수문현상에 관여하는 주요한 수문인자 중 하나이다. 특히, 강우, 유출, 홍수 및 가뭄 등과 직접적인 연관이 있어 국내에서도 그 중요성이 점차 강조되고 있다. 일찍이 해외에서는 토양수분량 위성자료나 관측기기의 검증 및 교정을 위해 다수의 지상 관측소를 운영해왔으며, ISMN(International Soil Moisture Network)과 같은 기관을 통해 자료의 취합 및 품질관리, 배포 등도 활발하게 이루어지고 있다. 최근 국내에서도 최신 관측기기의 도입이나 수자원위성의 개발 등 토양수분량에 관한 연구가 점차 활발하게 이루어지고 있으며, 위성자료와 관측기기의 검증 및 교정을 위한 지상관측소도 점차 확대되고 있는 추세이다. 하지만, 국내 지상관측소는 현재 다양한 기관과 단체에 의해 운영되고 있으며, 품질관리 기준이 통일되어 있지 않아 자료의 접근 및 활용 측면에서 개선이 필요한 실정이다. 이에 한국수자원조사기술원은 국내 환경에 맞는 품질관리 기준을 제시하고, 자료의 접근성 및 활용성 개선의 토대를 마련하고자 품질관리 시스템을 개발하고 있다. 본 연구는 정량화된 품질관리 기준을 바탕으로 spike를 판별하는 알고리즘에 대한 성능평가를 다루고 있으며, 청미천 토양수분량 관측소 2020년 자료에 임의의 튀는 값(spike)을 추가하고, 해당 이상치의 검출여부를 확인하는 방식으로 진행되었다. 각각의 지점자료에서 강우사상 중 하강부, 무강우기간 중 하강부를 1개씩 선정하고, 해당 구간에 positive spike를 추가한 case와 negative spike를 추가한 case를 생성해 강우조건 및 spike 유형에 따른 검출성능 차이를 평가했다. 평가 결과, 강우기간 검출률 84.3%, 무강우기간 검출률 96.3%로 강우조건에 따른 성능차이가 명확하게 나타났으며, positive spike는 91.7%, negative spike는 88.9%로 spike 유형에 따른 검출성능차이는 미미했다. 강우조건과 spike 유형을 동시에 고려했을 때는 무강우기간의 positive spike가 98.2%로 가장 높은 검출률을 보인 반면에 강우기간의 negative spike는 83.3%로 가장 낮은 검출률을 보였다. 알고리즘이 검사시간대를 중심으로 24시간 동안의 토양수분량 변화를 감지하기 때문에 강우기간에 검출성능이 저하되는 것으로 판단되며, 이를 개선하기 위해선 강우사상에 따른 유동적인 window size 조절 알고리즘의 추가가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

Neutron room scattering corrections that should be made when neutron detectors are calibrated with a $D_2O$ moderated $^{252}Cf$ neutron source in the center of a calibration room are considered. Such room scattering corrections are dependent on specific neutron source type, detector type, calibration distance, and calibration room configuration. Room scattering corrections for the responses of a thermoluminescence dosimeter and two different types of spherical detectors to neutron source in the Radiation Calibration Laboratory(RCL) neutron calibration facility at the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute(KAERI) were experimentally determined and are presented. The measured room scattering results are then compared with theoretical results calculated by predicting room scattering effects in terms of parameters related to the specific configuration. Agreement between measured and calculated scattering correction is generally about 10% for three kinds of detectors in the calibration facility.

In this study, equivalent dose and LET (Linear Energy Transfer) calibration of CR-39 SSNTD (Solid State Nuclear Track Detector) were performed using 400 MeV/u C heavy ions in HIMAC (Heavy Ion Medical Accelerator in Chiba) for high LET radiation therapy. The irradiated CR-39 SSNDTs were etched according the etching condition of JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency). And the etched SSNTDs were analyzed by using Image J. Determined frequency mean dose (${\bar{y_D}}$)and dose-mean lineal energy (${\bar{y_F}}$)of 400 MeV/u C are about 8.5keV/mm and 10.1 keV/mm, respectively by using the CR-39 SSNTD. This value is very similar to the results calculated by GEANT4 Monte Carlo simulation and measured with TEPC (Tissue Equivalent Proportional Counter) active radiation detector. We could determine the equivalent dose and LET calibration factors of CR-39. And we confirmed that the CR-39 SSNTD was useful for high LET radiation dosimetry in hadron radiotherapy.

From HPGe calibration spectrum of liquid mixed source in cylindrical vial, we developed simulated spectrum for spectrum analysis education. It is the spectrum that combine peaks separated from measured spectrum. After that, spectrum removed statistical variation of channel counts. Statistical fluctuation of the spectrum is made by Box-Muller function. The spectrum contains 18 peaks. The peak's centroid and area were defined exactly. Developed spectra are calibration spectrum, sample spectrum, background spectrum and spectra for efficiency correction for geometry and cascade coincidence.

Radon-222 exhalation rate from several domestic building materials were experimentally measured by using radon cup method, in which a CR-39 plastic is used as a passive radon detector. The radon detection factor of CR-39 detector determined in a series of calibration experiments was $0.164{\pm}0.005(tracks\;cm^{-2}/Bq\;d\;m^{-3})$, which is consistent with those reported by other investigators. The radon exhalation rates of several building materials (brick, red brick, concrete block, granite plate, concrete floor and wall) ranges from $6.8{\times}10^{-6}\;(granite plate)\;to\;75.0{\times}10^{-6}Bq/m^2-sec(brick)$ with the increasing order of granite plate, red brick, concrete wall, concrete block, concrete floor and brick. It showed that the CR39 radon cup can be efficiently utilized in measuring the radon-222 gas exhalation rate from building materials.
