The inventory management of radionuclides is essential for the safe management of disposal facilities. In this study, we compared the activity of dry active waste predicted using the generated waste data and that measured for the accepted waste in the disposal facility. For very low level waste, the measured activity was higher than the predicted activity for $^{137}CS$, $^{90}Sr$, $^{99}Tc$ and $^{129}I$. In low level waste, the predicted activity was higher than the measured activity for all radionuclides. We also evaluated the variation in the predicted quantity and total activity of each level of dry active waste through a sensitivity analysis on a scaling factor. This result will contribute to the construction of a Safety Case and safe operation of disposal facilities.

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.

Al-Qaeda and other terrorist groups have tried to obtain the radioactive material which could be used to make a dirty bomb. Their documents relating to the dirty bomb were found in the January 2003. International communities especially, the United States has made efforts to improve regulation and security of radioactive material for protecting the public from radiological attacks. This study examines the possibility of radiological terrorism and the radiological dispersal devices which could be used by determined terrorists, and international status and prospects to respond radiological terror.

The objective of this research was to assess the reliability of data and to improve nuclear analytical techniques concerning the Domestic Radioactivity Intercomparison program for environmental radioactivity monitoring of Jeju from 1998 to 2006. Gross beta for filter papers and water samples was determined, and gamma nuclides for natural and artificial nuclides in soil and water samples were analyzed. The gross beta activity of all samples except for the water samples of 1998 and 1999 showed a good agreement within the confidence intervals. In gamma nuclides, $^{40}K$ and $^{137}Cs$ of soil samples and most nuclides in the water samples, with the exception of several nuclides, were evaluated to be reliable. Based on these results, it is considered that a reliable method for the analysis and monitoring of environmental radioactivity were established, which may play an important role in case of emergency radiation accident.

인접국의 핵실험, 원전 사고, 인공 위성 추락 등으로 인한 방사선 비상 사태를 조기에 탐지하여 신속히 대처하기 위한 환경 방사능 감시망이 아시아 지역 공동으로 구축될 전망이다. 한국원자력안전기술원은 최근 우리 나라를 비롯, 중국$\cdot$인도$\cdot$인도네시아$\cdot$파키스탄 등 5개국 대표들이 참석한 가운데 $\ulcorner$방사선 안전에 관한 아시아 지역간 협력체 구축을 위한 자문단 회의$\lrcorner$를 열고, 아시아 지역 환경 방사능 공동 감시망 구축을 위해 각국의 환경 방사능 시료의 효과 분석, 환경 방사능 기초 자료망 구성 등의 사업을 벌이기로 했다. 그 경위와 추진 계획 등을 살펴본다.

환경시료 중 삼중수소의 방사능을 분석하기 위하여 전처리과정을 수행한다. 전처리의 주요 절차는 증류와 발광액의 첨가 그리고 약 24시간의 암실보관 등이다. 본 보고서에서는 각 전처리 과정이 방사능 측정결과에 미치는 영향을 평가하고 전처리과정에서 피할 수 없는 오차와의 관계를 확인한 후 이를 통해 삼중수소의 방사능 세기에 따라 전처리과정의 상대적 중요도를 확인하고자 한다. 이 과정을 통해 전처리가 꼭 필요한 경우와 그렇지 않은 경우를 구분할 수 있는 방사능 세기의 문턱 값을 확인하고자 한다.

In this paper, using statistical theory the basic concepts and the formulars of lower limit of detection were deasribed. Assuming that risks of 5% are acceptable (95% confidence level), lower limits of detection were calculated on the measuring apparatus for alpha, beta and gamma nuclides. Also, on the basis concepts of lower limit of detection, the MDA values were calculated for the radionuclides detected easily in the environment. These results make it possible to evaluate confidence limits on the radioanalytical results in the environmental sample.

In this project, under the server-client environment, GIS for the radiological emergency and control system of the vehicles for the environmental radioactivity monitoring was complete. This system is able to display environmental radioactivity data and vehicle's locations through wireless network on real time. Furthermore, it supports not only static analysis function with the collected data regarding nuclear type, collecting time period and vehicle's location but also a documents printing out function.
