해상을 통해 반출입되는 항만 컨테이너는 선박과 항만에서의 안전사고를 예방하기 위해 국제해상위험물규칙의 규정을 준수하였는지 검사하고 컨테이너의 안전성을 점검한다. 하지만 지금까지의 컨테이너 및 위험화물의 검색은 대부분 사람에 의한 수동 운용으로 이루어지고 있어 향후 자율운항선박의 도래에 따른 자동화 항만을 위해서는 자동화된 검색 기술과 더불어 대상 컨테이너의 무인 자동화 검색이 가능하도록 운영이 될 필요가 있으며, 보다 진보적이고 효과적인 컨테이너 검색기술을 활용하기 위해 컨테이너 검색정보 표준을 개발하여 컨테이너 보안검색의 효율성 및 검색 활동에 대한 업무 비효율적인 문제를 해결하고자 한다.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the activation characteristics that occur in a linear accelerator for container security inspection. In the computer simulation design, first, the targets consisted of a tungsten (Z=74) single material target and a tungsten (Z=74) and copper (Z=29) composite target. Second, the fan beam collimator was composed of a single material of lead (Z=82) and a composite material of tungsten (Z-74) and lead (Z=82) depending on the material. Final, the concrete in the room where the linear accelerator was located contained magnetite type and impurities. In the research method, first, the optical neutron flux was calculated using the MCNP6 code as a F4 Tally for the linear accelerator and structure. Second, the photoneutron flux calculated from the MCNP6 code was applied to FISPACT-II to evaluate the activation product. Final, the decommissioning evaluation was conducted through the specific activity of the activation product. As a result, first, it was the most common in photoneutron targets, followed by a collimator and a concrete 10 cm deep. Second, activation products were produced as by-products of W-181 in tungsten targets and collimator, and Co-60, Ni-63, Cs-134, Eu-152, Eu-154 nuclides in impurity-containing concrete. Final, it was found that the tungsten target satisfies the permissible concentration for self-disposal after 90 days upon decommissioning. These results could be confirmed that the photoneutron yield and degree of activation at 9 MeV energy were insignificant. However, it is thought that W-181 generated from the tungsten target and collimator of the linear accelerator may affect the exposure when disassembled for repair. Therefore, this study presents basic data on the management of activated parts of a linear accelerator for container security inspection. In addition, When decommissioning the linear accelerator for container security inspection, it is expected that it can be used to prove the standard that permissible concentration of self-disposal.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the photon characteristics according to the material and thickness of the electrons incidented through a linear accelerator. The computer simulation design is a linear accelerator target consisting of a 2 mm thick tungsten single material and a 1.8 mm and 2.3 mm thick tungsten and copper composite material. In the research method, First, the behavior of primary particles in the target was evaluated by electron fluence and electron energy deposition. Second, photons occurring within the target were evaluated by photon fluence. Finally, the photon angle-energy distribution at a distance of 1 m from the target was evaluated by photon fluence. As a result, first, electrons, which are primary particles, were not released out of the target for electron fluence and energy deposition in the target of a single material and a composite material. Then, electrons were linearly attenuated negatively according to the target thickness. Second, it was found that the composite material target had a higher photon generation than the single material target. This confirmed that the material composition and thickness influences photon production. Finally, photon fluence according to the angular distribution required for shielding analysis was calculated. These results confirmed that the photon generation rate differed depending on the material and thickness of the linear accelerator target. Therefore, this study is necessary for designing and operating a linear accelerator use facility for container security screening that is being introduced in the country. In addition, it is thought that it can be used as basic data for radiation protection.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the photoneutron characteristics generated by the linear accelerator target and collimator. The computer simulation design firstly, consisted of a target, a single material target and a composite material target. Secondly, it consisted of a cone beam and a fan beam depending on the type of the collimator. Finally, the material of the fan beam collimator is composed of a single material composed of only lead (Pb) and a composite material collimator composed of tungsten (W) and lead (Pb). The research method calculated the photoneutron production rate and energy spectrum using F2 tally from the surface of a virtual sphere at a distance of 100 cm from the target. As a result, firstly the photoneutron production rate was 20% difference, depending on the target. Secondly, depending on the type of the collimator, there was a 10% difference. Finally, depending on the collimator material, there was a 40% difference. In the photoneutron energy spectrum, the average photoneutron flux tended to be similar to the photoneutron production rate. As a result, it was confirmed that the 9 MeV linear accelerator photoneutron are production increased more by the collimator than by the target, and by the material, not the type of the collimator. Selecting and operating targets and collimator with low photoneutron production will be the most active radiation protection. Therefore, it is considered that this research can be a useful data for introducing and operating and radiation protection of a linear accelerator for container security inspection.

Since the 9·11 terror attack in 2001, the Maritime Logistics Security System has been strengthened and required X-ray image for every imported cargos from manufacturing countries to United States. For scanning cargos, the container inspection systems use high energy X-rays for examination of contents of a container to check the nuclear, explosive, dangerous and illegal materials. Nowadays, the X-ray cargo scanners are established and used by global technologies for inspection of suspected cargos in the customs agency but these technologies have not been localized and developed sufficiently. In this paper, we propose the X-ray array detector system which is a core component of the container scanning system. For implementation of X-ray array detector, the analog and digital signal processing units are fabricated with integrated hardware, FPGA logics and GUI software for real-time X-ray images. The implemented system is superior in terms of resolution and power consumption compared to the existing products currently used in ports.

As container vessels get larger, container terminals are also likely to grow. The problem that arises is that the growing volume should be handled in the same amount of time as before. Container terminals are introducing an automation system in order to overcome the limitations of existing manual methods and to continuously reduce operating expenses. Because, Manual handling of carrying containers gate in and out of terminals causes inaccurate data, which results in confusion. An alternative is for containers to be labeled with barcodes that can be scanned into a system with a scanner, but this takes quite a long time and is inconvenient. A RFID system, also known as a gate automation system, can solve these problems by reducing the time of gate management with a technology that detects number identification plates, helping operators more efficiently perform gate management work. Having said that, with this system, when container damage is detected, gate operators make and keep documents manually. These documents, which are insufficient evidence in proving container damage, result in customer claims. In addition, it is difficult for gate operators and other workers to manage containers, exposing them to danger and accidents. This study suggests that if an automation system is introduced at gates, containers can be managed by a video storage system in order to better document damage The video system maintains information on container damage, allowing operators the ability to search for videos they need upon customer request, also allowing them to be better prepared for customer claims. In addition, this system reduces necessary personnel and risk of accidents near gates by integrating a wide range of work.
