In this paper, we evaluated shielding effectiveness (SE) of carbon nanotube (CNT) film using near field scanning (NFS) in near field analysis. We adopted CNT film with deposit carbon density of 5% and thickness of 1mm for evaluation of shielding characteristic. Using a test coupon analogized to an actual IC package, we measured SE according to measuring position and SE according to distances between the CNT film and the test coupon. As a result, the measured SE in the near field varied with frequency. Especially, the measured electric field SE in the center of the test coupon is better than that of the measured edge point of the test coupon where it is affected by fringing effect. The results show that the measured SE in the near field is affected not only by frequency but also by measurement environment such as position and height of the probe and height of shielding film. In conclusion, we should choose proper methods for SE measurement considering interference distance in the electronic control system because there is little correlation between the proposed evaluation method in the near field and ASTM D 4935-10.

The optimized sheet for EMI shielding was prepared by metal power with Fe series. Then various metal powders were deposited on the sheet by PVD method. Moreover, the PVdF nanofiber membrane was used to compare the characteristic of EMI shielding efficiency of various metal powders. The electrical property was measured by the 4-point probe method. The result from EDS confirmed that the metal powder existed on the sheet. EMI shielding efficiency was analysed by EMI shielding measurement apparatus. The lowest electrical resistance, $641.95{\Omega}{wcdot}cm$, was obtained with $1000\;{\AA}$ deposition of Cu on the sheet. It was revealed that the EMI shielding efficiency increased with increase of the metal deposition thickness. The sheet deposited by Cu with $1000\;{\AA}$ showed the highest EMI shielding efficiency, 32.5 dB.

In this study, we perform the structure change of the shielding this is applied for gamma-ray detectors for imaging of gamma-ray source. Through previous studies, we implemented the commercially available gamma-ray imaging apparatus similar to the shielding body but weight reduction, center of gravity moving of shield. In this paper, we changed a shield for motion control detectors efficient movement. We performed the MCNP simulation of shield design and then we obtained the results of reducing the weight of the 17% and moving of center of gravity the shield center.

Shielding for reducing exposure dose can make the diagnosis limited. The purpose of this study is to increase the efficiency of radiation protection and minimize the loss of image information by producing the shielding made of the water and the contrast medium which has different proportion and finding out the ideal proportion of them. Each shielding materials were made of water and water-soluble iodine contrast medium with the different proportion. The attenuation rate of absorbed dose was evaluated by the shielding materials in the plastic contents for measuring the efficiency of the radiation protection. As a result, the higher ratio of the contrast medium, the more efficient it is for radiation attenuation. The anatomical structure was observed most properly in case of the solution with 20 ml of the contrast medium and most difficultly in case of more than 60 ml of the contrast medium. In case of the signal intensity between skeleton and gas, the difference of average value had a significant as p < 0.001. Shielding with contrast medium attenuates less than the conventional shielding but in the examination for the sensitive part to radiation, it can be used to minimize the loss of the image information and reduce the exposure dose.

Fluorine-18 used in PET/CT scans is a radioactive isotope that emits positrons, and high energy annihilation gamma rays and beta rays cause exposure to radiation workers. In this study, as part of a plan to reduce the exposure dose of radiation workers working in the Department of Nuclear Medicine, the cause of the low shielding efficiency of Apron for F-18 was identified, and the effectiveness of the Apron double-shielded with acrylic was evaluated. L-Block, Apron+acrylic, Apron, Acrylic+Apron, and Acrylic five shields are used to measure the dose, and the tendencies were compared by performing a Monte Carlo simulation. As a result, it was found that the shielding rate of Apron double shielded with acrylic was about 4 to 8% higher than that of Apron single shielded. To the extent that it does not significantly affect the user's activity, double-shielded personal protective clothing with an appropriate acrylic thickness could help reduce radiation workers' exposure.

The sheet for electromagenetic interference (EMI) shielding was prepared with slurry made by the mixture of binder, methyl ethyl ketone, cyclohexanone and metal powder. We tried to enhance the shielding efficiency by adding carbon nanotube (CNT), which has known as highly conducting material. Surface and component analyses were carried out with SEM and EDS, respectively. The electric characteristics and EMI shielding efficiencies were measured with 4-point probe measurement and EMI efficiency measurement equipment. The sheet with 2% CNT addition showed the lowest electrical resistance, $13.13{\Omega}}{\cdot}cm$. It also showed the highest EMI shielding efficiency of 63 dB.

In this study, we perform the weight reduction and miniaturization of the shielding element that is applied for gamma-ray detectors for imaging of gamma-ray source. Through previous studies, we implemented a lead-based shielding element that represents the shielding effectiveness and performance of commercially available gamma-ray imaging apparatus similar to the shielding body. In this paper, we designed a tungsten-based shield for weight reduction and miniaturization than lead-based shield. We performed the MCNP simulation for shield design and then we obtained the results of reducing the weight of the 17% and 51% of the volume.

한국전력은 765kV 송전선(2,000A/single phase)에 ball sensor를 설치할 계획이다. 우리의 이전연구에서는 다중 Mu-metal 케이스를 설치한 후 여러 조건하에서 센서의 정상동작여부와 차폐효율을 연구하였다. 이번연구에서는 Mu-metal 케이스의 겹 수와 형상에 따른 차폐효율을 연구할 것이다. 차폐효율은 전류가 커짐에 따라 감소하는 것을 보이며, Mu-metal 케이스의 자속경로가 길어짐에 따라 감소하는 것을 알 수 있었다. Ball sensor의 형상에 따른 차이를 고찰하기 위하여 실제 실험 전에 실제 실험과 동일한 조건으로 시뮬레이션툴을 사용하여 모의 하였으며 그에 따른 실험을 수행하였다. 이런 방식으로 실제 실험 전에 관련 실험의 결과를 예측 가능하였다. 이러한 일련의 과정을 통해 이상적인 Mu-metal 케이스의 형상과 겹 수를 찾을 수 있었다.

방사선 투시조영 촬영 시 사용되는 방호복의 차폐효율 증가와 경량화는 오랜 시간 연구 대상이 되었다. 이러한 방호복의 질적 향상을 위하여 연구한 결과는 다음과 같다. Apron의 규격인 납 당량 0.25mm에 해당하는 투과선량은 5.2%로 나타났으며, 시료 Sn, Ni, Ti, Cu의 방사선 차폐 효율은 Sn이 가장 높게 나타났다. 증착시료 Sn+Pb 방법에서는 Sn 0.18mm와 Pb 0.1mm, Pb+Sn 방법에서는 Pb 0.1mm와 Sn 0.36mm에서 Apron의 규격인 납 0.25mm 두께로 나타났다. 증착시료 Sn+Pb는 Apron의 규격인 0.25mm 납 당량보다 차폐효율이 높고, 면적당 무게가 가벼워 방호복 물질로 적합한 것으로 사료된다.
