  • In this paper, author estimated economic scale of radiation usage in Korea using Input-Output table 2005 and other micro data published. This estimation focused all kind of radiation usage in whole economic activity. Estimation of economic scale is quantitative analysis for how much radiation usage increase productivity and welfare. Economic scale estimation of radiation usage in Korea 2005 is 6,297 Billion Won and it occupies 0.74% of GDP. It is smaller level compared with that of US and Japan. It is 1.5% of GDP in US (1997) and 1.2% of GDP in Japan (2005). Radiation usage in industrial sector is 5,775 Billion Won and it is 0.68% of GDP. Radiation usage in agriculture sector is 171 Billion Won and it is 0.02% of GDP. Radiation usage in medical sector is 351 Billion Won and it is 0.04% of GDP. This implied that radiation usage in industrial sector is larger than other sector. Use of medical radiology may be enlarge in the future due to population structure. The result that radiation usage occupied 0.74% of GDP arouse contribution of radiation usage in daily life. It helps people to have more understanding and public acceptance for radiation.

  • RI & RG are used in various field such as medical field, industrial field, agricultural and food&life field. The number of small nuclear facilities is on the increase. We need to take an interest in decommissioning of small nuclear facility and predict the occurring problem from facility decommissioning. Because of the relatively low radiation risk, the preparation of the small nuclear facility dismantling is often neglected. As the accident in Goiania, Brazil showed, the impact of the decommissioning of small nuclear facilities is not less than the large nuclear facilities although it may seem dangerless. Therefore, we analyzed the each institutional characteristics of the decommissioning of small nuclear facilities through foreign case study on this research. Also, we proposed several considerations on decommissioning such as reuse of facility and source, lack of space, stakeholder involvement and failures of protection. Through these study, we tried to make guideline of the small nuclear facilities decommissioning.

  • This study attempts to extract certain directions for the education program to provide right information by investigating knowledges, consciousnesses, and attitudes of some university students. They have a high level of knowledges among average persons on the use of radiations in order to recognize the radiation safety in daily lives including the change in national recognitions for radiations safety that is consistent with the situation in these days. The survey was performed for 528 university students from Oct. 10 to Oct. 15, 2005. The results of this survey can be summarized as follows; students who didn't get educations for the use of radiations were recorded as 415 students (80.7%) in which the reason that they didn't get such educations was there were no chances to receive the education' as 265 students (77.9%). The basic knowledge on the use of radiations was presented as a low level of $5.96{\pm}2.90$ points based on the sum of 15 points, and the consciousness on the use of radiations was investigated as $3.65{\pm}0.50$ points based on the sum of 5 points. In addition, the attitude on the use of radiations was investigated as $3.23{\pm}0.46$ points based on the sum of 5 points.

  • As a way of improving social receptivity of using radiation, this study looked into the difference of understanding the need of using radiation in various fields between students majoring in radiation and non-radiation related studies, who will influence public opinion in the long term. This study also provides data needed for developing efficient strategies for projects promoting the public's awareness of using radiation. Of the students in the 79 schools sampled, 24%(177) were in 4 year colleges and 146 were junior colleges in educational statistics service (http://cesi.kedi.re.kr) In November 2010 1,945 students were selected as a sample, and they were given surveys on the need of using radiation in different fields. As a result, both between students majoring in radiation and non-radiation related studies showed a high level of understanding the need for radiation in the medical field and showed a low level of understanding of the need for radiation in the agricultural field. In all 6 fields of radiation use, students majoring in radiation related studies showed higher levels of understanding for the need to use radiation than students majoring in radiation and non-radiation related studies. In each field, male students and those who have experience medical radiation and relevant education had higher level of understanding. This shows we need to improve the understanding of the cases of female students and those who have not had experiences with medical radiation and to provide relevant education through various kinds of information. The characteristics of the groups that are shown in the results of this study are considered to be helpful for efficiently for project promoting the public's awareness of using radiation.

  • Radiation is used in various field, including medical science, engineering science, agricultural science and other industrial fields and the use frequency of radiation is increasing thanks to the development of radiation technology. Although radiation contributes to the mankind so much, we must pay attention to radiation damage by its influence on human body. To use radiation properly and prevent the radiation damage, it is necessary to measure radiation exactly and to practice thorough research and education on the basis of this measurement. In this study, I suggest the method to measure radiation wirelessly without the limit of time and space, not approaching radiation having a harmful effect on human body by using ubiquitous computing technology. For the realization of suggested method, the wireless transmission technology of CDMA network is used and after installing embedded system in PDA, the measurement value is displayed through accessing CDMA network with PDA in radiation measurement system of having fixed IP. If we use the proposed method of this study, we don't have to approach radiation that is harmful to the human and can read the measurement value that is marked in PDA through CDMA network by radiation measurement system of having fixed IP.

  • 목적 : 현재 국내에서 사용되고 있는 방사선치료계획 장비는 거의 모든 방사선종양학과에서 외국 회사의 제품을 사용하고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구는 국내 기술로 개발된 3 차원 조형 방사선치료계획 장비인 Core Plan의 선량계산 알고리즘의 정확성 및 방사선 치료계획 장비로서의 유용성에 관해 평가하고 본 장비의 특징에 대해 간략히 소개하고자 한다. 재료 및 방법 : 본 연구는 2002 년 11 월에 가톨릭대학교 성모병원 방사선종양학과와 서울씨앤제이의 연구계약에 의해 시행되었다. 본 장비에 대한 평가는 방사선분포 및 계산상의 정확성과 임상적용시의 유용성의 관점에서 시행되었다. 본 장비에서 이용된 광자선 선량계산은 Clarkson-Cunningham 모델이며 전자선 선량계산은 2.5D Hogstrom 알고리즘이다. 방사선분포 및 계산상의 정확성 평가를 위하여 방사선치료 장비는 본 병원이 보유한 Clinac 2100CD (Varian, USA)를 이용하였고 폴리스티렌 팬텀과 필름 및 이온 전리함을 이용하여 방사선분포 및 계산상의 정확성을 평가하였다. 방사선분포의 평가 방법은 필름을 이용한 방사선분포의 중심부단면 선량분포와 CorePlan 에서 재현된 방사선분포의 동일면 선량분포를 비교하였다. 임상적용은 2003 년 3 월부터 7 월까지 방사선치료를 받은 50 명의 환자를 대상으로 분석하였다. 본 시험에 적용된 환자는 본 병원이 보유한 3 차원 방사선치료계획 장비인 Prowess 3D (SSGI Inc., USA)를 이용하여 실제 치료된 환자들이며 이 환자를 대상으로 CorePlan에서 동일하게 재현하여 비교하였다. 결과 및 결론 : 방사선분포 및 계산상의 정확성 평가에서는 실제 측정된 결과와 CorePlan에서 재현된 결과가 모두 $\pm$3% 이내로 평가되었다. 50 명의 환자를 대상으로 시행한 임상시험 결과 Prowess 3D에서 나타낸 결과와 비교하여 두경부에서는 1.678%, 흉부 1.578%, 복부 1.271%의 선량값의 오차를 보였다. 본 연구를 진행하는 과정에서 많은 부분의 프로그램 수정이 있었으며 실제임상에 필요한 부분에 대한 추가 및 보완이 이루어졌다. 앞으로 진행될 과정은 실제임상의 사용에 필요한 부분의 계속적인 업그레이드와 전자선에 대한 방사선분포 및 계산정확성 평가, 임상적용에 있어서 Prowess3D 뿐만 아니라 다양한 방사선 치료계획 장비와의 비교를 할 예정이다.

  • 1895년에 독일 뢴트겐에 의해 발견된 이후 X선은 1896년부터 의료목적으로 사용된 기록이 있으며, 한국에 도입되어 진단용X선발생장치로서 환자 진료에 사용하기 시작한 역사는 1911년경부터 조선총독부의원과 세브란스의원에 도입되어 사용하게 되었다. 최근 의학 및 의용공학의 발전으로 방사선을 이용한 진단 기술의 발전과 건강에 대한 국민의 의료욕구가 증가함에 따라 방사선을 이용한 질병의 진단과 치료 방법에서 새로운 기법이 개발되고 그 이용은 지속적으로 증가되고 있는 추세이다. 방사선의 이용은 진단 및 치료에 중대한 이득을 제공하고 있으나 그 이면에는 최적화 및 정당화 되지 않은 방사선의 피폭으로 장애 및 유해요인이 초래되는 것은 부인할 수 없다. 이와 관련하여 방사선을 이용하여 검사 및 치료를 시행함에 있어 피폭선량 최적화를 위한 기술적 노력은 방사선 관계자의 막중한 의무이다.
