The groundwater flow and contaminant transport numerical models have been established for analyzing the movements of pollutants in subsurface soil at Daeduk site. The groundwater flow and concentration of U-234 using the numerical models were simulated around Daeduk nuclear facilities. The computed groundwater flow was mainly advected toward the direction of east and southeast around HANARO in the site. The radioactive material entered into the subsurface soil was transported along the same direction with groundwater flow. The radioactive material deposited on the surface from the calculated concentration distributions was not affected by surrounding environment of the site.

This paper describes the results of assessment of radiological dose resulting from operation of the Daedeok nuclear facilities including the HANARO research reactor, which has been performed to assure whether or not to comply with the regulation standards of the radioactive effluents releases. Based on the meteorological data and the radiation source term, the maximum individual doses were evaluated from 2010 to 2012. The atmospheric dispersion and the deposition factors of gaseous effluents were calculated using the XOQDOQ computer code. ENDOS-G and ENDOS-L code systems were also used for maximum individual dose calculation from gaseous and liquid effluents, respectively. The results were compared with the regulation standards for the radioactive effluents presented by the Nuclear Safety and Security Commission (NSSC). The effective doses and the thyroid doses of the maximum individual were calculated at the maximum exposed point in the Daedeok site, and contributions of exposure pathways to the radiological doses resulting from gaseous and liquid radioactive effluents were evaluated at each facility of the Daedeok site. As a result, the maximum exposed age was analysed to be the child group, and the operation of HANARO research reactor had a major effect more than 90% on the individual doses. The main exposure pathways for gaseous radioactive effluent were from ingestion and inhalation. The effective doses and the thyroid doses were considerably influenced by tritium and iodine, respectively. The gaseous radioactive effluents contributed more than 90% on the total doses, whereas the contributions of the liquid radioactive effluents were relatively low. Consequently, the maximum individual dose due to radioactive effluents from the nuclear facilities within the Daedeok site were less than 3% of the regulation standard over 3 years; therefore, it can be concluded that radioactive effluents from the nuclear facilities were well managed, with the radiation-induced health detriment for residents around the site being negligible.

자연자원은 부족하고 국토는 협소한 대신 인구는 많은 우리나라가 경제자립과 자주국방을 달성하기 위해서는 과학기술의 개발이 무엇보다 중요하다. 그간 우리나라는 공업화추진의 필요성과 과학기술의 중요성에 대한 깊은 인식을 바탕으로하여 과학기술개발을 강력히 추진한 결과 개발도상국으로서는 하나의 보범적인 발전을 이룩하게 됐다. 그러나 앞으로 중화학공업의 건설과 국제경쟁력배양을 통한 수출의 획기적인 신장, 농촌근대화와 식량의 자급, 국내부존자원의 활용의 극대화등 우리경제가 해결해야할 어려운 문제들이 많다는 데서 과학기술의 급속한 발전을 위해 더욱 주력할 필요가 있다. 과학기술처는 우리나라 과학기술의 발전을 위해 지난 1동안에 70년대의 과학기술진흥시책방향인 과학기술의 기반구축, 산업기술의 발전, 과학기술의 풍토 조성등 3대시책방향에 합치되도록 모든 역량을 집결시켰다. 그 결과 중화학공업의 건설과 수출전략산업을 구축하기 위한 5대전략산업연구소의설립과 국내연구체제의 획기적인 정비를 위한 대덕연구학원도시의 건설사업을 계속추진하여 왔으며 과학기술의 풍토조성을 위해 새마을기술봉사단의 활동을 강화하는 동시 재구 한국인과학기술자를 초청하여 학술회의를 개최하는 등 각종 학술활동을 지원하였다. 또한 두뇌개발과 기능숙달에 역량을 두어 한국과학원에서 첫졸업생을 캐출하여 고급두뇌를 처음으로 우리 손으로 산업계와 과학기술계에 내보냈으며 국가기술자격검정을 본격적으로 실시 (16만9천명 대상)함으로써 산업계가 필요로 하는 많은 기능자를 확보하는데 이바지하였다. 한편 서울연구개발단지내 제기관의 활동도 활발하여 KIST는 국내최초로 미니콤퓨터를 개발하였고 KAERI는 원자력의 평화적이용의 일환으로 대단위방사선가공처리시설을 완공하였으며 KORSTIC은 TK 30 소형전산기를 도입 정보처리의 전산화를 이룩하는등 괄복할만한 성과를 거두었다. 75년도에 과학기술처가 이룩한 주요성과를 요약하면 다음과같다.
