A polymer gel dosimeter was fabricated. A 3-dimensional dosimetry experiment was performed in the small field of the photon of the cyberknife. The dosimeter was installed in a head and neck phantom. It was manufactured from the acrylic and it was used in dosimetry. By using the head and neck CT protocol of the CyberKnife system, CT images of the head and neck phantom were obtained and delivered to the treatment planning system. The irradiation to the dosimeter in the treatment planning was performed, and then, the image was obtained by using 3.0T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) after 24 hours. The dose distribution of the phantom was analyzed by using MATLAB. The results of this measurement were compared to the results of calculation in the treatment planning. In the isodose curve on the axial direction, the dose distribution coincided with the high dose area, 0.76mm difference on 80%, rather than the low dose area, 1.29 mm difference on 40%. In this research, the fact that the polymer gel dosimeter and MRI can be applied for analyzing a small field in a 3 dimensional dosimetry was confirmed. Moreover, the feasibility of using these for the therapeutic radiation quality control was also confirmed.

In this study, a scintillation resin for 3D printing was fabricated with 1.0 wt% of PPO organic scintillator, 5.0 wt% of MMA, and commercial acrylic resin. Using the scintillation resin, 3D-shaped plastic scintillator radiation sensors were successfully fabricated quickly and inexpensively with a commercial 3D DLP printer. The 3D printed plastic scintillator has a good dose-output linearity of R-square 0.998 was obtained in the range of 1 to 10 nA of beam current of the 45 MeV proton beam. The developed 3D plastic scintillator has low light output, so there is a limit to its use in low-dose-rate gamma-ray or X-ray dosimetry. However, it was confirmed that the tissue equivalent material could be usefully used for measuring high energy or high dose rates radiation, such as proton beams and ultra-high dose rate beams.

The Purpose of this study was to evaluate by comparing the dose change and build up characteristic according to delay time in 30 days of glass dosimeter processed preheat and non preheat when measuring accumulation dose of radiation by using glass dosimeter over the long haul. For obtaining low dose with 0.1 mGy, 1 mGy and 5 mGy, we employed diagnostic generator AccuRay-650R. We compared the build up characteristic over the long haul by exposuring radiation to 30 glass dosimeters sorted into 10 glass dosimeters per tube voltage and current. In Non preheat glass dosimeter, initial measured dose was inferior to exposed dose but as time goes on, was close to exposed dose steadily. In 72 hour after experiment end, non preheat glass dosimeters were not indicated the difference from preheat glass dosimeters and statistical analysis were meaningful (p>0.05). Initial measured dose for low glass dosimeter processed preheat was close to exposed dose and stable. After 15 days dose was gradually increased. Previous study characteristics of glass dosimeter were with respect to characteristic of glass dosimeter in high dose of high energy area. However, in this study, we make a judgment to measure the dose of glass dosimeter without preheat processing when measuring the accumulation dose of low dose in conclusion.

미국의 소비자계몽단체인 $\lceil$미국과학${\cdot}$보건협회의$\rfloor$는 $\lceil$조사식품$\rfloor$이란 소책자를 발행했다. 이 소책자는 저선량방사선의 식품조사의 안전성은 명확하며 고선량조사의 경우에도 위험한 결과를 볼 수 없으므로 소비자는 조사식품을 기피한 필요가 없고 오히려 풍요로운 생활을 영위할 수 있게 하는 것으로 환영할만한 것이라고 강조하고 있다. 미국에서는 $83\~84$년중에 상업조사식품이 나올 것으로 전망되는데 소비자의 반응이 주목된다. 다음은 그 소책자의 개요이다.

This study is to develop a mobile type environmental radiation measurement system for emergency response or environmental radiation monitoring of local governments near nuclear facilities. A mobile radiation measurement system can monitor radiation by field beyond the spatial constraints of a fixed environmental radiation monitor. If installed in local government infrastructure such as public transportation, environmental radiation can be monitored without additional manpower and measurement work. In addition, it is designed to enable monitoring and measurement of radiation from low to high doses as well as the environment in preparation for radioactive disasters such as nuclear power plant accidents. It is expected that this system will be utilized not only in normal times but also in the event of a radiation accident to improve the disaster prevention capabilities of local governments.

The Irradiation test of bar code label tagged on radioactive waste container was done to determine the effect of radiation. Low and medium radioactive waste is that below total activity of 4,000 Bq/g according to the Korean nuclear law. The irradiation amount to radiate bar code label tagged on radioactive waste container was calculated by MCNP-4b computer code. The nuclide such as Co-60 and Cs-137 was assumed to contribute 50% of total activity. Real irradiation amount for bar code label was finally calculated by the dimensions of the container and the bar code label. The Identification of post and the physical deflection of irradiated bar code label was tested by the bar code reader. The coated bar code label was suitable to use on low and medium radioactive waste container.

Most of the spatial scattered dose caused by the scattered rays generated by the collision between the object and X-rays is relatively easily absorbed by the human body as electromagnetic waves in the low energy region, thereby increasing the degree of radiation exposure. Such spatial scattering dose is also used as an indicator of the degree of radiation exposure of radiation workers and patients, and there is a need for a method to reduce exposure by reducing the spatial scattered dose that occurs indirectly. Therefore, in this study, a lead-free radiation shielding sheet was proposed as a way to reduce the spatial scattering dose, and a Monte Carlo (MC) simulation was performed based on a chest X-ray examination. The absorbed dose was calculated and the measured value and the shielding rate were compared and evaluated.

In this study, evaluated absorbed dose of moving target using PLD according to prescribed dose and therapeutic technique. First, result of MCNPX when target was deviated from exposure field was reduced dose in proportion to distance. According to prescribed dose, absorbed dose of 3D CRT was better than IMRT in low dose and IMRT was more better in high dose. Absorbed dose of 3D CRT was highest according to therapeutic technique. Therefore, 3D CRT was technique of irradiated highest dose to moving target. But, considered protective effect of normal tissue and patient condition that therapeutic technique was selected to maximized treatment efficiency.

1. 본 시험에 사용된 선량범위내에서는 기건종자에 의한 Thermal neutron이나 X-ray의 처리가 발아율에 크게 영향을 미치지 못하였는데 Fast neutorn 처리종자의 발아율은 선량의 증가에 따라 거의 직선적 저하를 보였다. 2. 선량의 증가에 따라 기형엽발생율은 증가하였으며 특히 Fast neutron에서는 동일 flux일망정 Thermal neutron 조사구에 비해 발생율은 높다. 3. 저선량에서의 기형엽출현은 유식물기에서만 봇 수 있으며 성장함에 따라 회복한다. 이는 정상세포와 이상세포간의 분열속도의 차에 기인되는 상 싶다. 4. 같은 선량에서는 Fast neutron이 Thermal neutron에 비해 그 영향력이 크다는 것이 확실하며 이는 Energy의 차에서 오는 결과이다. 5. 일반적으로 선량의 증가에 따라 성숙이 연장되는 경향이 있었으며, 반면에 아주 희귀하기는 하나 개화와 성숙이 촉진되는 고체도 발견되었다. 6. 선량의 증가에따라 다소 왜소화되기는 하나 저선량에서는 오히려 유의성은 없으나 초장이 증가하였다. 7. 생육초기와 생육종기에 있어서의 선량에 따르는 초장에 대한 영향은 그 초기에 있어서 더 현저하며 성장함에 따라 회복되는 경향을 보인다. 8. 발아와 생육에 별 지장이 없이 재배할 수 있는 선량범위는 Thermal neutron에서 $1O^13$ N/$cm^2$, Fast neutron에서 5$\times$$1O^12$N/$cm^2$ 이하이면 무난할 것이며, X-ray는 본 시험에 이용한 32 Kr 이상에서도 이용에 지장이 없을 것이다.

This study was intended to observe possibility of which radiation technique can be used for oligopeptide production from pigskin collagen to reduce environmental pollution in processing and simplify the processing steps. Raw pigskin was ground using chopper, and then defatted in acetone cooled at $-20^{\circ}C$ freezer. Defatted dried pigskin was irradiated at 20, 40, 60, 100, 150, 200, 250, and 300 kGy using Co-60 gamma rays irradiator. With irradiation doses, the amount of soluble proteins increased, and the viscosity and turbidity of soluble proteins decreased, which could be clue of that irradiation degrade high molecular proteins directly. pH of soluble proteins from defatted pigskin increased in the sample above 150 kGy, and low molecular weight components (below 24 kDa) in SDS-PAGE increased. From gel permeation chromatography of the hydrolysates of pigskin irradiated at 300 kGy showed the major peak of 9,000, 8,200, 860, and 170 Da.
