This paper described an improved technical method required for proper evaluation of personnel exposures by means of the photographic dosimeter developed by KAERI in lower gamma or X-ray energy regions, with which response of the dosimeter varies significantly. With calibration of the dosimeter in the energy range from 30 to 300 keV, the beam spectrum was carefully selected and specified it adequately. The absorber combinations and absorber thickness used to obtain the specified X-ray spectra from a constant potential X-ray machine were determined theoretically and also experimentally. A correlation between the density and exposure for the four separate energies, such as $49\;keV_{eff},\;154\;keV_{eff}\;250\;keV_{eff}\;and\;662\;keV$, is experimentally determined. As a result, it can be directly evaluated the exposure from the measured response of dosimeter.

오염물질은 배출원의 형태에 따라 점오염물질과 비점오염물질로 구분하고 있고 점오염물질은 생활하수, 산업폐수, 축산폐수, 환경기초시설 방류수 등으로 발생원이 명확하고 수집하여 처리 및 관리가 용이하나 비점오염물질은 배출위치가 명확하지 않으며, 강우 시 일시적으로 대량 배출되는 특징을 가진 농경지, 도로, 대지, 임야 등에서 배출되는 오염물질을 말한다. 우리나라에서 비점오염은 전체 수질오염의 42~67%(2003년)를 차지하는 것으로 나타났고, 2015년에는 전체 수질오염의 65~75%에 이를 것으로 예상되고 있다. 이 중 농업 비점오염원은 총 수질 오염량의 30%이상을 차지할 것으로 추정하고 있으나 이를 저감하기 위한 최적관리방법의 효과검증에 관한 연구는 아직 미미한 상태이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 농경지 중 밭에서 발생하는 비점오염을 저감하기 위한 기법으로 다양한 규모와 형태의 Silt Fence/식생밭두렁/침사구를 설치하여 밭 비점오염에 대한 저감효과를 평가하고 제어대책을 개발하여 최적관리기법을 제시하고 이에 대한 매뉴얼을 개발하기 위한 기초연구를 실시하려 한다. Silt Fence는 주로 건설공사현장에서 홍수유출 발생 시 인접한 하천 및 호소 등으로 유사 및 오염물질이 유입되는 것을 방지하기 위해 임시적으로 설치하는 시설로 합성 직물 필터를 나무나 금속 막대로 연결하여 등고선 방향으로 설치하는 것으로 대상 지역의 토양이 교란되기 전에 그 지역 아래쪽에 설치한다. 식생밭두렁은 밭의 이랑의 길이가 길어질수록 강우 시 빗물이 하단에 이를 때 늘어난 유량과 빠른 유속으로 토양침식이 가중되는데, 이때 30~35m간격으로 식생밭두렁을 설치하게 되면 상부와 하부의 침식정도가 유사한 경향을 보여 식생밭두렁을 설치하지 않은 지역에 비해 토양의 침식정도가 작게 나타나게 된다. 이러한 Silt Fence/식생밭두렁/침사구의 밭 비점오염의 저감효과 평가 및 제어대책 개발을 위한 기초 실험을 수행하기 위해 경상남도 사천시 용현면 선진리 일대에 시험포장을 조성 하였으며, 시험포장내에 6개의 Plot을 만들어 하단부에 포장에서의 유출수의 유량을 측정하기 위해 플룸을 설치하였고 실내실험을 통해 플룸의 수위-유량관계 곡선을 작성하였다. 포장의 토양특성을 판별하기 위해 Plot별로 토양시료를 채취하여 특성을 분석 한 결과 6개 Plot모두 모래함량이 많은 점토질 사질토로 분류되었다. 향후 강우 시 시험포장에서 발생하는 유출수의 수질을 분석하고 Silt Fence/식생밭두렁/침사구의 오염물질 저감효과를 분석하여 제어대책을 개발하게 되면 농업수자원확보를 위한 관리방안 선정을 위한 정책수립에 활용될 수 있으며 비점오염 배출을 최소화시켜 수질의 개선에 기여할 뿐만 아니라 우리나라 농업에 적합한 최적영농관리기술을 개발 할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

A determination method of trace nickel and cobalt in water samples was studied and developed by adsorbing their complexes on ion exchange resin suspension. The analytical ions were formed as complexes with a ligand of APDC (ammonium pyrrolidinedithiocarbamate) and adsorbed on anion exchange resin of Dowex 2-X8. After the suspension was filtered out with membrane filter, the complexes were dissolved in HCl solution by an ultrasonic vibrator for ET-AAS determination. Several conditions were optimized as followings. pH of sample solution: 5.0, amount of ligand APDC: more than 430 times in mole ratio, the type and concentration of acid: 0.1 M HCl, and vibration time: 7 minutes. The addition of palladium in the HCl solution could improve the reproducibility and sensitivity by a matrix modification in the absorbance measurement. This procedure was applied for the analysis of three kinds of real water samples. The detection limits equivalent to 3 times standard deviation of blank were Co 0.36 ng/mL and Ni 0.27 ng/mL and recoveries in spiked samples were 99-102% for cobalt and 100-105% for nickel.

We have applied the geophysical survey, mainly electric and electromagnetic (EM) methods, to a test site contaminated by hydrocarbon waste disposal and local spill. The multi-frequency, moving source & receiver EM survey along with ground penetrating radar (GPR) showed a fairly good performance in detection of buried metal pipes and objects. Magnetic survey measuring vertical and horizontal gradients were so sensitive to the small metallic objects spread over the surface that it's hard to discriminate the buried pipe. We chose electrical resistivity, EM and GPR survey to examine the soil contamination. Depth slices of resistivity distribution as the results of the inversion of resistivity and EM data coincided each other and closely matched the contaminated area determined by chemical analysis of the soil samples. GPR images did not show the reflection events related with contamination plume since there are no distinct spill in this site. We inferred the contamination using the penetration depth of the GPR energy, which could be used as auxiliary information to the resistivity and EM results. We summarized the applicability of each survey methods based on this results and proposed a desirable survey scheme for the determination of hydrocarbon contaminated site.

This study comprehensively addresses recent progress at KAERI in waste treatment technology to cope with waste produced by pyroprocessing, which is used to effectively manage spent fuel. The goal of pyroprocessing waste treatment is to reduce final waste volume, fabricate durable waste forms suitable for disposal, and ensure safe packaging and storage. KAERI employs grouping of fission products recovered from process streams and immobilizes them in separate waste forms, resulting in product recycling and waste volume minimization. Novel aspects of KAERI approach include high temperature treatment of spent oxide fuel for the fabrication of feed materials for the oxide reduction process, and fission product concentration or separation from LiCl or LiCl-KCl salt streams for salt recycling and higher fission-product loading in the final waste form. Based on laboratory-scale tests, an engineering-scale process test is in progress to obtain information on the performance of scale-up processes at KAERI.

In this paper, a novel small-diameter cylindrical post capacitor inserted into an evanescent-mode rectangular waveguide (EMRWG) is proposed for easier tuning. In order to feed the EMRWG, the proposed structure uses a single ridge rectangular waveguide with the same width and height as the waveguide at the input and output ends. The inserted post capacitor are made up a circular groove formed in the center of the lower part of the broad wall of the EMRWG, and a concentric cylindrical post inserted into the upper part. First, the equivalent circuit model for the proposed structure is presented. When the EMRWG and the single ridge waveguide are combined, the joint susceptance and the turns ratio of the ideal transformer are calculated by two simulations using HFSS (3d fullwave simulator, Ansoft Co.) respectively. The susceptance and resonance characteristics of the inserted post were analyzed by using the obtained parameters and the characteristics of the EMRWG. A 2-post filter with a center frequency of 4.5 GHz and a bandwidth of 170 MHz was designed using a WR-90 waveguide, and the simulation results by using the HFSS and CST, equivalent circuit model were in good agreement.

Among various metal oxides semiconductors, $TiO_2$ is the most studied semiconductor for environmental clean-up applications due to its unique ability in photocatalyzing various organic contaminants, its chemical inertness, and nontoxicity. $TiO_2$, however, has a few drawbacks to be solved such as reactivity mainly working under ultraviolet irradiation (${\lambda}$ < 387 nm) and electron - hole recombination on $TiO_2$. In this study, to extend the absorption range of $TiO_2$ into the visible range and enhance electron - hole separation, we synthesized platinum (Pt) deposited $C-TiO_2$. The presence of Pt as an electron sink has been known to snhance the separation of photogenerated electron-hole pairs and induce the thermal decomposition. The characterization of as-synthesized $Pt-C-TiO_2$ was performed by Transmission Electron Microscopic (TEM), the Brunuer-Emmett-Teller (BET) method, X-ray Diffractometer (XRD), UV-vis spectrometer (UV-DRS), and X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS). In order to estimate the photocatalytic activity of the synthesized materials, the photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS). In order to estimate the photocatalytic activity of the synthesized materials, the photodegradation experiment of an azo dye (Acid Red 44; $C_{10}H_7N=NC_{10}H_3(SO_3Na)_2OH$)was carried out by using an Xe arc lamp (300 W, Oriel). A 420 nm cut-off filter was used for visible light irradiation. From the results, Pt-deposited $C-TiO_2$ showed a far superior phothdegradation activity to Degussa P25, the commercial product under the irradiation of visible light and enhanced photocatalytic activity of visible-working $C-TiO_2$. This is a useful result into the application for the purification system of dye wastewater using visible energy of sun light.
