Purpose Recently, in the process of examining the self-disposal of radioactive waste by the Korea Institute of Nuclear Safety, it is difficult to reach the final approval process for self-disposal. In connection with this, we intend to increase the processing efficiency of self-disposal and strengthen safety by analyzing cases of recent supplementary matters. Materials and Methods From 2018 to 2021, we compare and review a supplementary requests that preparing the procedures and plans for the self-disposal of radioactive waste by 20 institutions. In this regard, based on the provisions of the Atomic Energy Safety Act, we derive a detailed proposals for the self-disposal of radioactive waste by arranging the review processing period calculation and supplementary requests that occurred during the review process. Results The representative supplementary requests of the Korea Institute of Nuclear Safety are the calculation of the storage period by type and nuclide of radioactive waste, the contents of the packaging container, the RASIS reporting method, the planned storage method for self-disposal, confirmation of the final disposal company, and the storage period of the waste filter Calculation, radioactive labeling, etc. And it is emphasized as important. Conclusion The expected effects of the guidelines reflecting the latest supplements include reduction of the time required for document preparation and increase of work processing efficiency, improvement of storage efficiency in the radioactive waste storage room, and economic cost reduction. If the radioactive waste self-disposal guideline presented in this study is applied to the field, it is thought that it will be helpful in improving the work efficiency of those who are experiencing difficulties.

Comet assay 는 포유류 세포에서 DNA의 파괴를 측정하는데 있어 신속하고 단순하며 시각적이고 민감한 방법이다. Apoptosis에서는 세포핵의 광범위한 DNA의 붕괴가 일어나므로 comet assay는 종양세포에서 apoptosis가 발생되었는가를 알아내는데 유용하다. 본 연구는 apoptosis 연구의 결과가 변화되지 않도록 comet assay slides를 좀 더 오래 보관할 수 있는 방법을 개발하고자 시행되었다. 개의 종양세포를 가지고 alkali comet assay를 끝낸 뒤 slides를 진공 건조기에서 꺼내서 증류수로 점적하여 10-20분간 침수시키고 현광현미경하에서 육안적으로 관찰하였다. 건조후 3-4일, 1주, 2주, 3주, 4주 및 7주의 slides에서 apoptosis 회복율(%)은 각각 98.1, 98.3, 99.4, 80.8 및 35.2%이었다. 3주 이내의 slides에서 대조군과 비교하여 apoptosis 회복율에서 차이가 없었으나 4주 이상의 slides를 건조후 침수시키는 방법을 이용하였을 때 apoptosis 평가에서 건조 후 3주간까지는 처음의 결과와 차이가 없으며, 이 방법을 이용하여 comet slide의 좀 더 긴 기간이 보관과 보관후의 재평가에서 이용될 수 있는 좋은 방법이 된다.

In order to investigate the quality status of fried-frozen Korean meat ball products during retail distribution, VBN value, TBA value, pH and metmyoglobin ratio were determined for 117 samples collected in Seoul area during the period of May to September, 1995. Most samples maintained relatively good quality, but one sample of a company showed $32.5mg%$ of VBN value and 0.65mg/kg of TBA value which indicate the early stage of spoilage. Correlation coefficient between metmyoglobin ratio and TBA value was highly significant. Samples closer to shelf-life limit tended to show higher VBN value, TBA value, metmyoglobin ratio and pH. Out of the surveyed samples, 35% were on retail shelves of temperature above $-14^{\circ}C$, while only 18% were being sold at temperature below $-18^{\circ}C$. It is concluded that prepared frozen foods should be stored at the recommended temperature of $-18^{\circ}C$.

Two types of electronic nose were used for investigating the quality of dried lavers stored at 5, 15, and $30^{\circ}C$ RH of 32, 43, and 75%. The electronic nose is composed of metal oxide sensors, and GC is based on SAW sensor. Quality change in dried lavers was described in terms of the sensitivities $(R_{gas}/R_{air})$ of the sensors. Principal component analysis (PCA) was carried out using data obtained from six metal oxide sensors. The first principal component scores were correlated with quality changes of dried lavers. As storage time increased, the stored laver cluster separated from that of fresh lavers. A chromatogram was obtained from GC based on SAW sensor. Olfactory image, A $VaporPrint^{TM}$ image for pattern recognition, showed a significant difference between the stored and the fresh samples. Dried lavers during storage at $30^{\circ}C$ and 75% had bacterial counts of $5.7{\times}10^6\;CFU/g$ after 8 day. Increase of microbial count correlated with the response of electronic nose $(r^2=0.87)$. Whereas, color values showed no correlation.

A prerequisite for precise quantification of nanomaterials contained in environmental samples is to prepare suitable preservation conditions of samples. This study was initiated to suggest preservation conditions of aqueous samples for analyses of metal nanomaterials. Variation in the size of silver nanomaterial (cit-AgNP) was observed according to change in various conditions, such as pH, electrolyte concentration, temperature, nanomaterial concentration, and time. Aggregation of AgNP was characterized for each environmental condition, and finally proper preservation conditions of samples were proposed based on experimental results on AgNP aggregation. In addition, the preservation period of sample was computed by the doublet time of AgNP. The results indicate that the aggregation rate of cit-AgNP was close to 0 at the conditions of pH of ${\geq}7$, electrolyte ($Ca(NO_3)_2$) concentration of ${\leq}3mM$, temperature of $4^{\circ}C$, and cit-AgNP concentration of ${\leq}2mg/L$. Furthermore, the experimental results on doublet time of cit-AgNP suggest that maximum preservation period was evaluated to be 15.79~17.53 days when the concentration of 100 nm cit-AgNP is assumed to be $1{\mu}g/L$ which is considered as an environmentally-relevant concentration of engineered nanomaterials. Our results suggest that samples should be preserved at $4^{\circ}C$ and analyzed within 2 weeks.

This study was conducted to compare development of browning in minimally processed mushrooms (Agaricus bisporus Sing.) by picking season and postharvest holding time of the raw material. 'White' type of the mushrooms were harvested and minimally processed immediately after harvest or holding at 2$^{\circ}C$ for 7 days after picking in 4 seasons. The processed mushrooms were kept at 5$^{\circ}C$, and changes in surface color and content of total phenolic compounds of the mushrooms were measured. Respiration rate of the whole mushrooms was ranged from 9.55 to 17.93 mL C0$_{2}$/kg$\cdot$ hr, and the rate was low in mushrooms harvested in summer and autumn compared with those picked in spring and winter. Hunter L value of the mushrooms decreased rapidly just after slicing, especially in summer-harvest mushrooms. The mushrooms processed with the raw materials stored at 2$^{\circ}C$ for 7 days after harvest showed the lowest 'L' value among the sliced mushrooms prepared at different holding time. Consequently, summer-harvest mushrooms and the mushrooms kept at 2$^{\circ}C$ for more than 7 days after harvest would be unsuitable for minimally processing due to rapid browning.

Lab effectively supplemented the effects of outside radiation on image plates in the process of image acquisition of CR (computed radiography) systems and conducted for effective utilization in the case of clinical application. For this, Lab classified the storage places and time periods of image plates and compared and analyzed the differences between small dark spots. Lab also assessed the concentration distribution within the boundaries of images. Lab compared and measured the number of dark spots in a light room and a dark room depending on the storage places of image plates and found that dark spots slightly increased in an image plate when stored in a light room on the first and second days. Dark spots increased in proportion to the length of time stored. In the case of the image plate stored in a dark room, the number of dark spots remarkably decreased. With regard to picture quality as related to the location of image plates, the damage to picture quality could be reduced by locating regions of interest in the center. With regard to differences in sharpness following changes in the thickness of subjects, fewer scatter rays occurred and sharpness improved by reducing the thickness of subjects as much as possible. To get medical images of excellent quality, image plates should be managed effectively and it is desirable to keep images plates in dark iron plate boxes and not to expose them to outside radiation for a long time.

L-ascorbic acid, the representative antioxidants, has a great effect on skin whitening, collagen synthesis, and anti-aging, but has low oxidative stability during storage. Therefore, in this study, thermal and oxidation properties of L-ascorbic acid under various storage conditions (powder, aqueous phase, changes of temperature, UV-irradiation, and inflow of external air etc.) were investigated. And the storage stability of ingredient was validated in the double-spaced pouch by analysing oxidation properties under each storage conditions (powder phase and blended with essence). In oder to analyze the thermal properties, TGA, DSC, and FT-IR analysis were carried out and UV-visible spectrophotometer & redox titration were used in parallel for oxidation property analyses. From the result of experiment, L-ascorbic acid was oxidized fast when it contained lots of metallic ion, hydroxy ion in aqueous solution under high temperature, UV-irradiation & inflow external air, whereas it was not oxidized for a long time when it was stored as pure powder although it has same condition as heating up, UV-irradiation & inflow external air. Based on this result, retention period of cosmetics which is using L-ascorbic acid, less stable material in oxidation can be innovatively increased when using double-spaced pouch that is designed and produced for separating storage of active ingredients.

BACKGROUND: According to Korean regulations, bottled waters (BWs) can not be treated with chemical disinfectants like chlorine, so UV and ozone disinfection is applied. During the past several years, chemicals were detected in some BWs, and the public was concerned about the safety of BWs. METHODS AND RESULTS: Mineral waters were stored for 180 days at $25^{\circ}C$ and $50^{\circ}C$, tested acetaldehyde and formaldehyde by HPLC. When mineral waters were put in a PET bottles, the formaldehyde level ranged from 5 to $66{\mu}g/L$ during 180 days at $50^{\circ}C$. While the acetaldehyde level ranged from 31 to $221{\mu}g/L$, it was low than $16{\mu}g/L$ in glass bottle. CONCLUSION(s): This result showed that formaldehyde and acetaldehyde were detected higher in PET bottles than glass bottles, these also increased depending on the time of storage. Concentration of formaldehyde and acetaldehyde could be significantly influenced by the time of storage and temperature.
