Radioisotope tracer experiments on the distribution and the binding of radionuclides to proteins in bivalve were carried out in order to gain further information on biochemical behavior of radionuclides in marine bivalve, Gomphina melanaegis. The radioactivities (cpm/g) of $^{65}Zn\;and\;^{54}Mn$ after 7 days exposure were highly concentrated in liver and kidney in comparison to soft parts. The gel filtration profile of $^{65}Zn$ in liver and kidney showed three elution peaks, while $^{54}Mn$ showed two peaks in liver and three peaks in kidney. On the gel filtration of $^{137}Cs$ in liver and kidney, most of $^{137}Cs$ were eluted on one peak. Thus, it was considered that each radionuclide was bound to different proteins in liver and kidney of bivalve.

The installation and performance test of the ISOL (Isotope Separation On Line) system for the generation and separation of Rare Isotopes (RI) beams is in progress at the Rare Isotope Science Project (RISP), Institute for Basic Science (IBS). The various RI beams generated by the ISOL target/ion source go through the beam lines and separators, and only the RI beam desired by the user is selected and transmitted to the superconducting linear accelerator at the downstream of the ISOL. In the ISOL system, two separators are installed to separate a specific RI beam, and control is performed by the Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System (EPICS). In this study, an EPICS IOC (Input-Output Control) was developed to measure the magnetic field of a dipole magnet for mass separation of a multivalent (n+) RI beam in the A/Q separator, which is one of the ISOL RI beam separators. The operational stability of the A/Q separator was tested through a magnetic field measurement using a Hall probe.

This work was examined the extraction and stripping behavior of rare earths (La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm) from the hydrochloric acid solution by Cyanex 572 and compared to the results that of PC88A. Experimental parameters such as equilibrium pH, extractant & strip reagent concentration were observed and extraction percentage, distribution coefficient, stripping percentage and the separation factor of the adjacent element were analyzed. The $pH_{50}$ values was more higher using Cyanex 572 than that of PC88A. As the increase of the extractant concentration, the distribution coefficient of rare earth elements was increased. Stripping percentage of rare earth elementss from the Cyanex 572 was 85% to 95% and PC88A showed 80% to 87%. Separation factor of Ce/La, Ce/Pr, Pr/Nd, Nd/Sm was enhanced about 1.0-5.0 using Cyanex 572 as an extractant in mixture solution.

Determination of trace elements in a sample including complicated matrix is very difficult due to the interference by the matrix. Therefore, if the trace elements can be separated from the complex sample matrix and determined, the interference effects can be reduced, and it is very helpful for the overall analysis. In this study, the analytes of trace elements were separated from the sample matrix by co-precipitation with trace elements using indium hydroxide ($In(OH)_3$), then detected by inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometer (ICP-AES). Above all, the optimal conditions for the co-precipitation of elements with indium hydroxide were experimentally established. At last, salt was analyzed by the developed analytical method. No heavy metals were not found in Shinan Jeungdo salt, but trace amounts of several heavy metals except for cadmium were found in Cheonnam Yongkwang salt.

Isotopic compositions of precipitation have been used to understand moisture transport in the atmosphere and interactions between precipitation and groundwater. Isotopic compositions of speleothems and ice cores, so called, ''paleoarchives'', can be utilized to interpret climate of the past and global circulation models (GCMs). The GCMs are able to explain the paleoarchives, can be validated by the precipitation isotopes. The developments of stable isotope analyzers make high-resolution isotopic studies feasible. Therefore, a high-resolution study of precipitation isotopes is needed. For this study, precipitation samples were collected for every 5 to 15 minutes, depending on precipitation rates, using an auto-sampler for precipitation isotopes near coastal area. The isotopic compositions of precipitation range from -5.7‰ (-40.1‰) to -10.8‰ (-74.3‰) for oxygen (hydrogen). The slope of ${\delta}^{18}O-{\delta}D$ diagram for the whole period is 6.8, but that of each storm is 5.1, 4.2, 7.9 and 7.7, respectively. It indicates that evaporation occurred during the first two storms, while the latter two storm did not experience any evaporation. The isotopic fractionations of precipitation has significant implications for the water cycle and high-resolution data of precipitation isotopes will be needed for the future studies.

For the separation of boron isotopes, aminated polystyrenedivinylbenzene ion-exchange resins were prepared by chloromethylation of styrene-divinylbenzene copolymer (DVB 10%), followed by the reaction of methylamine. During the preparation of styrene-divinylbenzene copolymer, heptane for the porous resin and toluene for the non-porous resin were used as diluent, and the pore volume of the resins was determined by mercury porosimeter. In both water and aqueous alcohol solutions, the distribution coefficient of boric acid was decreased in accordance with increasing the alcohol concentration and the number of carbon atoms in the alcohol molecules. As a result of separatioin of boron isotope with nonporous and porous resin in water solvent, the separation efficiency of porous resin is better than that of the nonporous, and the result in both water and 50% methyl alcohol solvent relevant to nonporous resin indicated that the latter was better than the former.

Tetraazamacrocyclic ion-exchangers, 1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane bonded Merrifield peptide resin(TDM), 1,4,8,12-tetraazacyclopentadecane bonded Merrifield peptide resin(TPM) were prepared, and the ion-exchange capacity of these TDM and TPM were characterized. The distribution coefficients in various conc. of NH4Cl for magnesium with ion exchangers were determined by using the batch method. We found the isotope separation factors on new prepared tetraazamacrocyclic ion-exchangers bonded Merrifield peptide resin(TDM, TPM). The isotope separation of magnesium was determined by using of breakthrough method of column chromatography.
