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 study, life cycle assessment(LCA) for the nuclear power generation system and the thermal power generation system, which make a great distribution of the electric power supply in Korea, has been carried out to compare the environmental impact between two power generation systems. In system boundary of this study, the stage of construction, operation and demolition & disposal were included. For life cycle impact assessment(LCIA), three cases were considered; the single environmental impact for the $CO_2$ emissions, the 8 major global environmental impact, and the major global environmental impact categories including radioactive impact. As the results, it was found that the nuclear power generation system is environmentally superior to the thermal power generation system as 10,000 times in the evaluation for the $CO_2$ emissions, 90 times in the evaluation for the 8 major environmental impact categories, and 40 times in the evaluation for the environmental impact categories including radioactive impact.

PWR 원전에서는 계획예방 정지운전시 효과적인 정지수화학 제어에 의해 일차계통 방사능 준위를 감소시키고 작업종사자의 피폭을 최소화하기 위해 정지운전 자료에 대한 보다 정확한 해석이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 국내 PWR 원전 주기(A호기의 I 및 II주기와 B호기의 II주기)별 정지수화학 특성을 SCALP(Shutdown chemistry CALculation Program)프로그램으로 계산하고 정지운전 기간중 일차냉각재계통에서 제거되는 방사능량에 영향을 미치는 정지수화학 특성을 주요 인자별로 평가하였다.

원자력시설의 사고시 대기중으로 누출된 방사성물질에 의해 오염된 토양으로부터 재배된 농작물로 인한 인체노출은 각종 환경오염물질에 의한 인체영향 연구결과에 보듯이 직접적인 방사능에 의한 인체노출 못지 않게 상당히 중요하다. 이러한 섭식경로를 통한 노출은 각 나라마다 서로 다른 토양조건 및 작물체종류의 다양성등 다른 양상을 보이고 있어, 연구가 수행된 미국이나 유럽등지의 평가방법을 그대로 사용하면 국내의 토양에서 재배되는 농작물이나 이를 이용한 축산물에 따른 한국인의 독특한 섭취양상을 충분히 고려하여 평가하기 어려울 수 있다.

Ir-192 source activity for high dose rate brachytherapy is measured using Farmertype ionization chamber. The source-to-chamber distance is 10 cm and the measured charge unit is converted to activity unit. The measured values are compared to the values provided from vendor. Because of time dependency of Ir-192 source activity, the activities are regularly checked and compared to calculated values. As the accuracy of Ir-192 source activity is depend on the mechanical measurement setup, we estimated the precision of remote controlled source dwell position using home-made device and film scanner. The difference between measured and predicted dwell position is within 1 mm. As a result, the errors of source activity are 0.7${\pm}$1.5 ％ for measured and vendor-provided values and 0.l${\pm}$1.2％ for measured and time-dependent calculated vlaues. In conclusion, our measured activity has been comparable to the values provided from vendor and our brachytherapy unit has been very accurate until now. Regular quality control of brachytherapy is essential for successful treatment which depends on the accuracy of source position and activity.

Purpose: Surge in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma, hepatic artery chemical embolization is one of the effective interventional procedures. The PET/CT examination plays an important role in determining the presence of residual cancer cells and metastasis, and prognosis after embolization. The other hand, the hepatic artery chemical embolization of embolic material used lipiodol produced artifacts in the PET/CT examination, and these artifacts results in quantitative evaluation influence. This study, the radioactivity density and the percentage error was evaluated by the extent of the impact of lipiodol in the image of PET/CT. Materials and Methods: 1994 NEMA Phantom was acquired for 2 minutes and 30 seconds per bed after the Teflon, water and lipiodol filled, and these three inserts into the enough to mix the rest behind radioactive injection with $20{\pm}10MBq$. Phantom reconfigure with the iterative reconstruction method the number of iterations for two times by law, a subset of 20 errors. We set up region of interest at each area of the Teflon, water, lipiodol, insert artifact occurs between regions, and background and it was calculated and compared by the radioactivity density(kBq/ml) and the% Difference. Results: Radioactivity density of the each region of interest area with the teflon, water, lipiodol, insert artifact occurs between regions, background activity was $0.09{\pm}0.04$, $0.40{\pm}0.17$, $1.55{\pm}0.75$, $2.5{\pm}1.09$, $2.65{\pm}1.16 kBq/ml$ (P <0.05) and it was statistically significant results. Percentage error of lipiodol in each area was 118%, compared to the water compared with the background activity 52%, compared with a teflon was 180% of the difference. Conclusion: We found that the error due to under the influence of the attenuation correction when PET/CT scans after lipiodol injection performed, and the radioactivity density is higher than compared to other implants, lower than background. Applying the nonattenuation correction images, and after hepatic artery chemical embolization who underwent PET/CT imaging so that the test should be take the consideration to the extent of the impact of lipiodol be.

폐부하량 측정에 사용되는 폐 카운터의 교정시 폐내 방사능의 균일분포 가정은 폐부하량 측정결과에 영향을 줄 것으로 예상된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 균일분포 가정에 따른 측정오차를 평가하기 위해 몬데칼로시뮬레이션을 통해 분포패턴에 따른 계측효율을 구해 이률 비교·분석하였다. 그 결과 균일분포 패턴에 비해 17 keV에서 1.39배, 60 keV에서 1.14배, 185 keV에서 1.12배 까지 폐부하량이 과대평가되는 것으로 밝혀졌다 균일분포를 가정하더라도 문제가 될 정도로 과대평가가 되지 않음을 알 수 있었다. 반면, 과소평가는 17keV에서 50.2배, 60 keV에서 3.6배, 185 keV에서 2.7배 까지 나타나, 에너지가 작을수록 균일분포에 의한 교정에 문제의 심각성이 있는 것으로 보였다.

Purpose: There has been recent interest in the radioactivity uptake and image acquisition of radioactivity concentration. The degree of uptake is strongly affected by many factors containing $^{18}F$-FDG injection volume, tumor size and the density of blood glucose. Therefore, we investigated how radioactivity uptake in target influences 2D or 3D image analysis and elucidate radioactivity concentration that mediate this effect. This study will show the relationship between the radioactivity uptake and 2D,3D image acquisition on radioactivity concentration. Materials and Methods: We got image with 2D and 3D using 1994 NEMA PET phantom and GE Discovery(GE, U.S.A) STe 16 PET/CT setting the ratio of background and hot sphere's radioactivity concentration as being a standard of 1:2, 1:4, 1:8, 1:10, 1:20, and 1:30 respectively. And we set 10 minutes for CT attenuation correction and acquisition time. For the reconstruction method, we applied iteration method with twice of the iterative and twenty times subset to both 2D and 3D respectively. For analyzing the images, We set the same ROI at the center of hot sphere and the background radioactivity. We measured the radioactivity count of each part of hot sphere and background, and it was comparative analyzed. Results: The ratio of hot sphere's radioactivity density and the background radioactivity with setting ROI was 1:1.93, 1:3.86, 1:7.79, 1:8.04, 1:18.72, and 1:26.90 in 2D, and 1:1.95, 1:3.71, 1:7.10, 1:7.49, 1:15.10, and 1:23.24 in 3D. The differences of percentage were 3.50%, 3.47%, 8.12%, 8.02%, 10.58%, and 11.06% in 2D, the minimum differentiation was 3.47%, and the maximum one was 11.06%. In 3D, the difference of percentage was 3.66%, 4.80%, 8.38%, 23.92%, 23.86%, and 22.69%. Conclusion: The difference of accumulated concentrations is significantly increased following enhancement of radioactivity concentration. The change of radioactivity density in 2D image is affected by less than 3D. For those reasons, when patient is examined as follow up scan with changing the acquisition mode, scan should be conducted considering those things may affect to the quantitative analysis result and take into account these differences at reading.
