1975년 우라늄협회로 출발한 세계원자력협회(WNA)는 원자력을 평화적으로 이용하는 것을 적극 지원하고, 원자력 발전과 핵연료주기 전반에 걸친 원자력 산업 발전을 위하고자 설립한 세계적 민간 기구로, 우라늄 채광부터 변환, 농축, 핵연료 제조, 원자력발전 운영, 기자재(설비) 제작 및 사용후핵연료 처분에 이르기까지 원자력발전의 전 주기 산업을 촉진하고 관련 정보를 지원하고 있다. 2001년 지금의 명칭으로 변경한 WNA는 전 세계 원자력산업체와 원자력 관련 기관, 대학 등 175개 회원사를 두고 상호 협력과 전문 인력 교육 기반 강화, 국제화에 적극 나서고 있으며, 원자력산업 정보 제공과 교환을 위해 관련 보고서와 자료도 수시로 발행하고 있다. 2013년부터 WNA를 이끌고 있는 아그네타 라이징 사무총장은 지난 11월 영국 런던 소재 WNA를 방문한 <원자력신문>과의 인터뷰를 통해, 원전과 주변지역 주민의 갑상선암 발병에 대한 인과 관계에 대하여 "갑상선암 발병이 원전과 연관성 있다는 주장은 과학적 근거가 없다"고 단호히 말하고, "한국과 유사한 사례가 해외 원자력계(과학계)와 의학계에 보고된 적이 있냐"는 질문에 "해외에서 정상 운영되고 있는 원전 시설은 국제방사선방호위원회(ICRP)의 엄격한 기준(ICRP-60)이 적용하고 있으며, 방사선 방호와 관련된 연구보고서(논문)를 꾸준히 내고 있지만 원전 주변 주민에 대한 여러 역학 조사에서도 갑상선암이 증가했다는 사례는 보고된 바 없다"고 말했다. 또한 "실제로 일본 원폭 생존자 연구와 체르노빌 원전 주변 주민 연구에 의하면 20세 이상의 성인에서 방사선 노출에 의해 갑상선암이 증가한다는 증거는 없었다."면서 "체르노빌 사고와 후쿠시마 원전 사고 이후 방사선 누출로 인해 방사선이 갑상선암의 발생률을 증가시키는 것으로 알려졌지만 실제로 원전에서 발생하는 방사능은 갑상선암을 유발시킬 수 있는 양에 비해 아주 적다. 그럼에도 원전 시설에서 나오는 방사능 수치에 대해 제대로 밝히는 기관이 없기 때문에 원전 주변에 살아도 영향을 받는 것으로 오해할 수 있다."고 덧붙였다. 아그네타 라이징 사무총장은 스웨덴 출신의 방사선 방호 전문가로, 스웨덴 국영기업 Vattenfall AB 그룹에서 원자력 에너지 환경 분야 최고 전문가로 활동했으며, 스웨덴원자력학회, 유럽원자력학회, 세계여성원자력전문인회(WiN-Global) 회장 등을 역임했다. 인터뷰 전문을 게재한다.

One area where research is especially needed is their elaboration process and how they elaborate their idea as a group in a mathematical board game re-creation project. In this research, this process was named 'Mathematical Elaboration Process'. The purpose of this research is to understand how the gifted children elaborate their idea in a small group, and which idea can be chosen for a new board game when they are exposed to a project for making new mathematical board games using the what-if-not strategy. One of the gifted children's classes was chosen in which there were twenty students, and the class was composed of four groups in an elementary school in Korea. The researcher presented a series of re-creation game projects to them during the course of five weeks. To interpret their process of elaborating, the communication of the gifted students was recorded and transcribed. Students' elaboration processes were constructed through the interaction of both the mathematical route and the non-mathematical route. In the mathematical route, there were three routes; favorable thoughts, unfavorable thoughts and a neutral route. Favorable thoughts was concluded as 'Accepting', unfavorable thoughts resulted in 'Rejecting', and finally, the neutral route lead to a 'non-mathematical route'. Mainly, in a mathematical route, the reason of accepting the rule was mathematical thinking and logical reasons. The gifted children also show four categorized non-mathematical reactions when they re-created a mathematical board game; Inconsistency, Liking, Social Proof and Authority.

For this study, 313 pedestrians, including students, from two schools participated in the greening project of the school commuting roads in Seoul. These schools were compared to two without street greenspaces to analyze the effects of the green areas on pedestrian satisfaction and the future direction of creation. As a result of the greenspace satisfaction analysis of schools with greenspace, the items that had the greatest effect on overall satisfaction were 'Width of the sidewalk' (37%), 'Harmony with the surrounding landscape' (24.97%), 'The arrangement of trees, grass, and flowers' (18.30%) and 'Overall management' (10.44%). In other words, the item that satisfies most is securing the appropriate width of the sidewalk where the greenspace is located. It is necessary to re-considered creating greenspaces in existing sidewalk spaces and secure a sidewalk width for pedestrian convenience. As a result of the analysis on the direction of greenspace creation, the respondents who experienced greenspaces through the greenspaces on school commuting routes recognized natural features, such as grass and flowers as more important elements as well as noting that landscape and harmony are important. In addition, respondents interested focusing on functionality recognized the need for greenspaces and highly recognized the importance of arranging natural materials, such as trees, grasses, and flowers. This group also recognized the advantages of functionality and the effectiveness of green spaces. Therefore, it is necessary to expand awareness of the effectiveness of greenspaces through environmental education, publicity, and the provision of information boards. More effort will be needed to apply regional and school characteristics rather than uniform composition to the development of greenspaces.
