Activation foil-based Bonner sphere spheres are used to obtain neutron energy spectra of nuclear power plants or accelerator-produced neutrons. The position and the foil mass dependence of response functions should be studied carefully before measurement of Bonner spheres. This study showed that the normal incidence to the foil surface made a large shift of responses while parallel and isotropic incidence made no position dependence. The correlation between foil mass and response was not linear. Therefore, the response functions of activation-foil based Bonner spheres should be calculated for every different foil mass and the direction of Bonner spheres for parallel incidence will be preferred for radioactive neutron source or accelerator target produced neutrons.

As a follow up to the Agenda 21's policy statement for safe management of radioactive waste adopted at Rio Conference held in 1992, the UN invited the LAEA to develop and implement indicators of sustainable development for the management of radioactive waste. The IAEA finalized the indicators in 2002, and is planning to calculate the member states' values of indicators in connection with operation of its Net-Enabled Waste Management Database system. In this paper, the basis for introducing the indicators into the radioactive waste management was analyzed, and calculation methodology and standard assessment procedure were simply depicted. In addition, a series of innate limitations in calculation and comparison of the indicators was analyzed. According to the proposed standard procedure, the indicators for a few major countries including Korea were calculated and compared, by use of each country's radioactive waste management framework and its practices. In addition, a series of measures increasing the values of the indicators was derived so as to enhance the sustainability of domestic radioactive waste management program.

In a primary system at nuclear power plants (NPPs), various radionuclides including fission products and corrosion products are generated due to the complex water conditions. Particularly, $^3H,\;^{14}C,\;^{58}Co,\;^{60}Co,\;^{137}Cs,\;and^{131}I$ are important radionuclides in respect of dose assessment for radiation workers and management of radioactive effluents. In this paper, the dominant contributors of radiation exposure for radiation workers and the member of public adjacent to NPPs were reviewed and the process of dose assessment attributable to those contributors were introduced. Furthermore, the analysis for some examples of radiation exposure to radiation workers and the public during the NPP operation was carried out. This analysis included the notable precedents of internal radiation exposure and contamination of demineralized water occurred in Korean NPPs. Particularly, the potential issue about the dose assessment of tritium and carbon-14 was also reviewed in this paper.

The characteristics of radiation impedance for piston source on a spherical baffle are analyzed by algorithms which consists of Finite Element Method (FEM) and Hybrid type Infinite Element Method (HIEM). The results of self-radiation impedance for radiation angle and mutual radiation impedance between piston sources coincided with other reports on the spherical rigid baffle. For the spherical non-rigid baffles, the variations of self-radiation impedance and mutual-radiation impedance are identified. Therefore, these results can be applied to design and radiation characteristics analysis of acoustic transducers.

In order to use the nuclear energy as the sustainable energy source, the safe and efficient management of radioactive wastes generated from the nuclear fuel cycle including NPP decommissioning is one of the most important factors. The establishment of acceptance criteria for very low level radioactive wastes generated from decommissioning of nuclear power plant in a large quantity is seemed to play a key role for developing a radioactive wastes disposal strategy as well as NPP decommissioning strategy. In this thesis, we want to review the acceptance criteria of low-and-intermediate-level radioactive wastes in this country through the analysis of other country's acceptance criteria.

최근에 전기방사를 이용한 서브마이크로(submicro) 직경을 가진 섬유로 구성된 부직포 제조에 대한 관심이 집중 되어져 왔다[1,2]. 그러나 지금까지 전기방사기술에 대한 활발한 연구에도 불구하고, 전기방사를 이용하여 필라멘트를 제조한 결과는 보고되지 않았다. 본 실험에서는 전기방사 공정을 기초로 한 복합적인 방사체계를 이용하여 다공성 필라멘트를 제조하고자 한다. (중략)

저준위 방사성폐기물 안전성 평가를 위해 대상 부지를 선정하고 경계 조건을 도입하였다. 연안에 처분장이 위치할 경우를 가상하여 처분장 심도 및 단열까지의 거리등에 대한 지하수 유동 민감도를 분석하였다. 또한 처분장 진입 터널이 지하수 유동에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. 이를 통하여 각 암반별 이동 거리 및 시간을 CONNECTFLOW를 이용해 산정하고, 그 결과들이 방사선적 안전성 종합 평가 코드인 MASCOT의 입력 자료로 활용되도록 하였다.

본 연구에서는 보강 원통쉘에 대하여 주위 유체의 영향을 고려하여 진동 및 음향방사를 해석하였다. 원통셀의 운동방정식은 Donnell 이론을 적용하였으 며, Contour 적분을 풀지 않고 FFT 알고리즘(Fast Fourier Transform Algorithm)을 이용하여 원통쉘의 진동을 계산하였다. 현재까지의 방사패턴에 관한 연구는 주로 원주 방향에 집중되어 왔으나, 보강 원통쉘의 방사패턴은 원추파 모형에 가까우므로 극좌표 .theta. 방향에 대한 음향방사 패턴에 관한 연구가 이루어져야 한다. 그러므로, 본 연구에서는 극좌표에 관한 방사패턴 에 관하여 주로 고찰하였다.

복합섬유의 용도는 그 기능에 따라서 다양하지만 그 중에서도 자기접착성을 살려서 부직포의 재료로 사용되는 예가 많다. 즉 sheath/core형 복합섬유 중 sheath 성분에 core 성분보다 융점이 낮은 폴리머를 사용하여 열융합에 의한 접착제로서의 역할을 담당하게 한 섬유가 전형적이다. 한편, 고속방사법은 방사과정 중에 섬유의 구조 형성을 현저하게 진행시키는 방사법이지만[1, 2], 복합섬유의 고속방사에 있어서는 각 구성성분이 서로 영향을 미치면서 세화ㆍ고화가 진행되므로 개개의 폴리머를 단독으로 방사하는 경우와는 다른 구조형성기구가 관여하는 것으로 알려져 있지만 아직 명확한 상호작용은 보고된 바가 없다.

하나로에서의 방사성폐기물은 작업공정 특성상 원자로 정기점검(overhaul)시 주로 발생된다. 이에 방사성 폐기물의 발생을 최소화 하고, 규제해제대상 폐기물의 지정 및 분류를 해야 한다. 본 논문에서는 방사성 폐기물의 종류 및 특성을 고려하여 작업절차의 개선, 저감화 대책 및 이를 적용한 실적을 소개하고자 한다.
