The purpose of this study was to investigate the knowledge and awareness about radiation use among non - radiation undergraduates. This analysis were used based on the collected questionnaires with Frequency, mean and standard deviation, t-test, one-way ANOVA. As a result, there was no significant difference between the groups in terms of gender and age. There were statistical differences in some items in the major field. In addition, the perception of radiation was more negative in women and under 25 years of age (p<0.05). The correlations between the sub - factors showed that the higher the knowledge of radiation, the higher the perception of knowledge and use of radiation. It is believed that university students will have a positive effect of contributing to the development of the radiation industry if they have a correct understanding of radiation because they are more likely to contribute to public opinion by advancing into society.

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.

The patient dose in advanced radiotherapy techniques is an important issue. These methods should be evaluated to reduce the dose in diagnostic imaging for radiotherapy. Especially, the Computed Tomography in radiotherapy has been used widely; hence the CT was evaluated for dose and image in this study. The evaluations for dose and image were done in equal condition due to compare the dose and image simultaneously. Furthermore, the possibility of dose and image evaluations by using the Monte Carlo simulation MCNPX was confirmed. We made the iterative reconstruction for low dose CT image to elevate image quality with Maximum Likelihood Expectation Maximization; MLEM. The system we developed is expected to be used not only to reduce the patient dose in radiotherapy, also to evaluate the overall factors of image modalities in industrial research.

In this study, the potential of a newly developed simulation toolkit, GATE for the simulation of electronic portal imaging devices (EPID) in radiation therapy was evaluated by characterizing the performance of the metal plate/phosphor screen detector for EPID. We compared the performances of the GATE simulator against MCNP4B code and experimental data obtained with the EPID system in order to validate its use for radiation therapy.

정밀여과막(MF)막은 $0.1~1\mum$정도의 공경을 가지고 있는 막으로 산업이나 생활분야에서 널리 사용되고 있다. 이러한 정밀여과막에 이온교환기를 부여 시키므로써, 필요로하는 금속이온이나 단백질을 흡착할 수 있는 기능성 분리막이 제조 가능하다. 방사선프라프트 중합법은 고분자를 개질, 수식 또는 기능화시키는 수법으로 사용되고 있다. 본 실험에서는 방사선그라프트중합법을 사용하여 폴리에틸렌 정밀여과막에 에폭시기를 가지는 glycidyl methacrylate(GMA)를 그라프트 중합시킨 후 이온 교환기를 도입하여, 얻어진 막의 특성에 대해 고찰하였다. 본실험의 목적은 다음과 같다. (1) 폴리에틸렌 정밀여과 막에 방사선그라프트 중합법을 사용하여 이온교환기를 도입시키는 반응조건을 검토한다. (2) 도입된 이온교환기에 다른 막의 투과 성능을 조사한다. (3) 투과법에 의한 금속이온의 흡착성능을 조사한다. 여기서, 이온교환기로서는 술폰산(sodium sulfite:$SO_3H$)을 사용하였다.

In its recent recommendation No. 60(1990), ICRP has newly introduced several terminology which had not existed in its prior recommendation No. 26(1977). Of these, a newly defined quantity 'Equivalent Dose' replacing the 'Dose Equivalent' of the ICRU concept has been recommended to be adopted in the radiation protection programme. However, since the committee still uses the 'Dose Equivalent' and 'Equivalent Dose' in its several publications, it is likely to provoke unnecessary confusions and misuses in applying these two quantities. In this paper were described the definition and difference between these two quantities to help in understanding of these two quantitites among the person involved in the radiation protection activities.

In evaluation of some area within the craniofacial complex posteroanterior cephalogram together with lateral cephalogram is used for assessment of the exact existence and posture by grasping 3-dimensional concept. The usages of posteroanterior cephalogram in orthodontics are following; 1. The use during diagnosis and treatment planning 1) Assessment of the area and amount of facial asymmetry. 2) Assessment of therapeutic position for diagnosis and treatment 2. The Assessment of success in orthodontic mechanics If we use posteroanterior cephalogram together with lateral cephalogram adequately and simultaneously we can establish the exact diagnosis and appropriate treatment planning.
