  • Although the national radiological emergency response system has been improved by incorporating lessons from the Fukushima nuclear power plant accident and recent domestic natural disasters, it has not fully incorporated these lessons. In addition, it cannot deal with a variety of aftermath of the radiological disaster. Even for the same disaster, the national emergency response system should comply with multiple domestic laws in our country. Furthermore, there are a few discrepancies between the articles of the domestic laws that the national radiological emergency response system should address. Therefore, this study investigates the characteristics of radiological disasters, examines articles on the domestic laws related to the national radiological emergency response system, and analyses the Japanese government's responses to the Fukushima nuclear power plant accident. Based on the results of the review, suggestions for the improvement of the national radiological emergency response system in terms of response organization and framework have been proposed in this study.

  • 급격한 기후변화에 의한 집중호우 및 소리 없이 쌓이는 폭설과 잦은 매머드급 태풍 그리고 지진과 해일, 화산활동 등의 자연재해가 언제 어떻게 일어날지 모르는 상황에서 국가는 국민의 생명과 재산을 보호해야 할 막중한 과제를 안고 있습니다. 또한 자연재해뿐 아니라 공공기관에 대한 테러와 자원쟁탈을 위한 국지적인 전쟁과 같은 참사가 지구상에서 수시로 발생하고 있으며, 원자로의 방사능 누출과 지하철이나 철도의 충돌사고 및 가스폭발사고와 초고층 대형 빌딩이나 지하터널, 해저터널 같은 대형구조물의 붕괴 등 인공재난이 수시로 발생하고 있습니다. 이와 같이 재난발생은 대형화 및 다양화되고 있으며, 복합화된 형태로 발생하여 단일 기관으로는 대응하는 데 어려움이 있어서 범 국가적인 통합지휘체계에 의한 재난 관리 및 재난 대응이 필요합니다. 이러한 대형 참사를 사전에 예방하고, 재난 발생시 신속히 대응하여 인명과 재산피해를 최소화하는 방안으로 어떠한 재난 통신 방안이 있으며, 관련 기술 표준과 선진국 등의 구축사례를 통하여 우리나라는 제대로 재난 통신 및 방송이 구축되어 있는 지 살펴보고 이를 통하여 유비무환(有備無患) 및 거안사위(居安思危)의 정신으로 언제 닥칠지 모르는 국가재난에 미리미리 대비하는 계기가 되었으면 합니다.

  • 밀봉선원 폐기물은 크기가 작지만 특별한 관리 및 처분을 요하는 방사성폐기물이다. 특히 수거된 폐라듐선원의 경우 장기간의 관리가 필요하며, 음식물 보존이나 살균에 사용된 대형 밀봉선원 폐기물의 경우도 처분보다는 재활용도 고려하여야 한다. 이러한 밀봉선원의 특징은 작은 크기와 고건전성물질로 되어 있고 높은 비방사능을 갖는다는 것이며 따라서 처분시 보통의 방사성폐기물과는 달리 비균질폐기물의 특성을 고려한 안전성 평가가 필요하다.(중략)

  • 원자력 발전소의 격납건물은 인위적 또는 자연적 재해로부터 방사능의 외부누출을 방지함으로써 공중을 보호하는 역할을 하기 때문에 지속적인 건전성 확인을 통해 안전을 확보하는 것이 필수적이다. 격납건물의 구조적 건전성 확인은 통상 주기적으로 콘크리트에 대한 비파괴강도, 균열 및 중성화, 프리스트레스 텐던의 유효 긴장력 등의 측정을 통해 수행되고 있으나, 이러한 검사는 국부적인 건전도 정보만을 제공할 뿐 격납건물과 같은 대형 구조물 전체의 건전성에 대한 신뢰성 있는 평가 결과를 얻는데 많은 시간과 경비가 소요된다는 단점이 있다. 이러한 단점은 최근 구조물 전체의 상태를 평가하는 방법으로 주목받고 있는 구조건전성모니터링(Structural Health Monitoring, SHM)기법을 이용하여 극복할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 실제 운전 중인 격납건물을 대상으로 상시진동 측정을 수행하였으며, SHM 기법의 기초자료로 활용될 수 있는 동적특성, 즉 격납건물의 고유진동수와 모드형상을 제시하였다.

  • Korea's first commercial nuclear power plant, Kori Unit 1, was permanently shut down on June 18, 2017, after 40 years of successful operation. Kori Unit 1 plans to construct a waste treatment facility in the turbine building prior to commencement of dismantling in earnest. Various radioactive wastes are decontaminated, disassembled, cut and melted in the waste treatment facility and sent to the radioactive waste repository. The proportion of metal radioactive waste in dismantled waste is about 70%, of which large metal radioactive waste is mainly generated in the primary circuit and has high radioactivity, so radiation exposure must be managed during disassembly. In this study, the steam generators are selected as large metal radioactive waste, the exposure doses of the dismantling workers are calculated using RESRAD-RECYCLE code and the methods for reducing the exposure doses are suggested.

  • After the expiration of operating license of a plant, all infrastructures within the plant must be safely dismantled to the point that it no longer requires measures for radiation protection. Despite the fact that Kori 1 and Wolsong 1 are close to the expiration of their operating license, sufficient technologies for radiological characterization, decontamination and dismantling is still under development. The purpose of this study is to develop one of methods for radiological inventory assessment on measuring object by using direct measure of large component with In-Situ measurement technique. Radiological inventory was assessed by analyzing nuclide using portable gamma spectroscopy without dismantling reactor head, and the result of direct measurement was supplemented by performing indirect measurement. Radiochemical analysis were performed on surface contamination samples as well. During the study, radiological inventory of reactor vessel calculated expanding the result. Based on the result and the radioactivity variation of each radionuclides time frame for decommissioning can be decided. Thus, it is expected that during the decommissioning of plants, the result of this study will contribute to the reduction of radiation exposure to workers.

  • Leaked Radioactive source in nuclear power station, radiation related facilities and the aging nuclear power plant for the dismantling must need to detect and remove early to prevent major accidents. In this paper, we implemented a single sensor-based gamma-ray detectors stereo which can provide the distance to the radiation source, a direction and doserate information for fast and efficient decontamination work the radiation source. And we have carried out an algorithm development for high-speed detection of the detection equipment. Two detectors are required for stereo structure for obtaining the distance information of the radioactive source, but we designed the only sensor-based detection device for the weight reduction. We have extracted the region of interest and obtained the distance calculation result and distribution of radiation source in order to minimize a stereo image acquisition time. Detection time of the algorithm showed a shorter time of about 41%.

  • There are many reasons for decommissioning of cyclotron such as not only age-related deficiency, any serious wear or damage but also relocation, upgrade and changing mission. Decommission of cyclotron in USA and EU give rise to a lot of low-level radioactive waste and costs. Various research on decommissioning of particle accelerator have been carried to reduce the cost of decommissioning in USA and EU. In USA, the NRC require DFP (Decommissioning Funding Plan) to authorized licenser by 10 CFR Part 30.35. To resolve radioactive waste problem and reduce the estimated cost of cyclotron decommissioning, we should consider technical aspects (decommissioning procedures, decontamination techniques, etc.) and safety aspects(residual radioactivity, the expected dose, etc) for decommissioning. In this study, we analyzed practical information on the decommissioning of cyclotron in ANL (Argonne National Laboratory) and Belgium (EU). And we investigated the experience on the cyclotron relocation from SNUH (Seoul National University Hospital) to SKKU (Sungkyunkwan University). From these results, we provide the basic data for establishing of relevant standards on domestic cyclotron decommissioning. It is necessary to adopt the DFP for safe and economic decommissioning and waste recycling. These result could be utilized for the establishment on the standards and useful requirements.
