핵융합의 원료로 고려되고 있는 삼중수소는 $^{6}$Li(n,$\alpha$)T의 반응을 이용하여 얻을 수 있는데 이때 이 반응의 정보를 보다 많이 알기 위해서는 삼중수소의 분리는 물론 헬륨의 분리도 필요하다. 이를 위해서 MnC1$_2$로 코팅된 알루미나 컬럼을 이용한 방사선 가스크로마토 그래피의 방법을 이용하였다. 기존의 알루미나 컬럼으로는 수소 동위원소들의 분리가 가능하였는데 헬륨동위원소의 경우 컬럼내에서 같은 체류시간 때문에 분리가 어렵다 이를 위해서 두개의 다른 캐리어 가스를 사용함으로서 이를 분리하였다. 본 연구는 두개의 다른 캐리어 가스를 사용하여 수소 동위원소의 분리는 물론 헬륨 동위원소를 분리하였다. 헬륨동위원소의 분리중 두 원소가 서로 Azeotrophy의 성질을 갖는다는 것을 발견하였으며 따라서 헬륨 동위원소의 분리를 위해서는 반드시 서로 다른 두개의 캐리어 가스를 사용해야만 가능하다는 것을 밝혔다

수소동위원소의 실험과 취급 및 삼중수소 제거시설의 운용이나 더 나아가서 핵융합소재의 관리기술을 위해서는 수소동위원소분만 아니라 그들의 이성질체들에 대한 정성 및 정량분석이 필수적이며 이를 위해 기체크로마토그래피 분리법이 중요한 분석수단으로 활용되어오고 있다. 본 연구에서는 고순도 $H_2및$ $D_2의$ 수소동위원소 기체를 대상으로 하고 상용의 기체크로마토그래피 분석기를 사용하여 분리컬럼 분위기를 액체질소온도로 유지하고 헬륨 케리어기체를 특별제작된 진공-시료주입장치를 통해 펄스주입하여 크로마토그래피 분리실험을 수행하였다. 10%함량의 염화망간으로 부분 비활성화 시킨 산화알루미늄을 고정상으로 선정하여 이성질체의 분리를 억제할 수 있었으며 흡착후 분리용리시간이 단축된 비교적 좋은 수소동위원소 분리조건을 실증하므로서, 저농도 수소동위원소의 정량분석과 고순도 수소동위원소의 분리 및 농축기술 개발을 위한 기초를 마련하였다.

The purpose of this study is to elucidate the relationship between occurrence of natural radioactive materials such as ²³⁸U and ²²²Rn and original mixing ratio of helium isotope of groundwater from various geology, and to suggest the underground aquifer environment from helium original mixing data. 9 groundwater samples were collected from five study areas, and ²³⁸U, Rn-222 and helium isotope were analyzed. A high ²³⁸U content of the range of 218~477 ㎍ /L in the groundwater occurs in the twomica granite. ⁴He air-crust mixing ratio and the Rn-222 content show a rough relation, that is, Rn-222 content increases according to the increase of ⁴He crust mixing ratio. Because of helium and radon are an inert gas, their behavior in underground environment is assumed as an analogous. The ²³⁸U content and He isotope in groundwater does not show any distinct correlation. The groundwater can be classified as three groups (air, air-crust mixing, crust-mantle mixing origin) on the diagram of ³He/⁴He vs ⁴He/²⁰Ne, which is composed of original mixing line from air-crust-mantle end members. This original mixing of helium can provide the information of underground aquifer characteristic such as the connection with surface environment or isolation condition from air environment.

The paper presents the effects of output-coupling power and small signal gain of selenium vapour multiline laser by discharge of either to $^4$He or $^3$He. The purity of the He gas was improved with a special He-fille.. The result shows that compared with those of $^4$He, the output-coupling power and small-signal gain of $^3$He increase in the most of the lines. Especially, the small-signal gain of $^3$He for the strong lines (497.6 nm, 499.3 nm, 506.9 nm, 517.6 nm, 522.8 nm, 530.5 nm) lies about 30% higher than that of $^4$He, and the output-coupling power from doubles to triples.

Hydrochemical, stable isotopic ($\delta^{18}O$ and dD) and noble gas isotopic analyses of seven hot spring water samples, eleven groundwater samples and six surface water samples collected from the Icheon and Pocheon area were carried out to find out hydrochemical characteristics, and to interpret the source of noble gases and the geochemical evolution of the hot spring waters. The hot spring waters show low temperature type ranging from 21.5 to $31.4^{\circ}C$ and the pH value between 6.69 and 9.21. Electrical conductivity of hot spring waters has the range from 310 to $735\;{\mu}S/cm$. Whereas the hot spring water in the Icheon area shows the geochemical characteristics of neutral pH, the $Ca-HCO_3$(or $Ca(Na)-HCO_3$) chemical type and a high uranium content, the hot spring water in the Pocheon area shows the characteristics of alkaline pH, the $Na-HCO_3$ chemical type and a high fluorine content. These characteristics indicate that the hot spring water in the Icheon area is under the early stage in the geochemical evolution, and that the hot spring water in the Pocheon area has been geochemically evolved. The $\delta^{18}O$ and ${\delta}D$ values of hot spring waters show the range of $-10.1{\sim}-8.69%o$ and from $-72.2{\sim}-60.8%o$, respectively, and these values supply the information of the recharge area of hot spring waters. The $^3He/^4He$ ratios of the hot spring waters range from $0.09\;{\times}\;10^{-6}$ to $0.65\;{\times}\;10^{-6}$ which are plotted above the mixing line between air and crustal components. Whereas the helium gas in the Icheon hot spring water was mainly provided from the atmospheric source mixing with the mantle(or magma) origin, the origin of helium gas in the Pocheon hot spring water shows a dominant crustal source. $^{40}Ar/^{36}Ar$ ratios of hot spring water are in the range of an atmosphere source.

In this study, we have surveyed the new technologies in the cryogenic distillation of ITER, equilibrium reactors and helium refrigeration cycle contained in the isotope separation system (ISS). We also have collected thermodynamic and transport properties for $H_2$, HD, $D_2$, HT, DT and $T_2$ components of which properties are not built in a general purpose chemical process simulators such as Aspen Plus and PRO/II with PROVISION. Verification works have been performed to compare between literature data and simulation results. For the simulation of ISS involving six hydrogen isotope components, four distillation columns and two equilibrium reactors are used for the separation of $D_2$ and DT from $T_2$.

The paper presents the effects of outpLlt-coLLpling power and small SIgnal gain of a He-Se+ laser by discharge of either $^4He$ or $^3He$. A quartz plane-plate was installed to outpLlt-coLlple the laseI beam from the resonator in the eAperimental setup. The result shows tbat compared with those of ~He, tbe outPLlt-coupling power and small-signal gain of $^4He$ increase in the most of the lines. EspeCIally, the small-signal gain of $^3He$ for the strong lines (497.6 nm, 499.3 nm, 506.9 urn, 5176 nm, 522.8 mn, 530.5 nm) lies 25% higher than Ulat of 4He, and the output-coupling power doubles oubles

This study deals with a process for recovering hydrogen isotopes from fusion exhaust gas. The goal of this process is to remove impurities, maximally recover only pure hydrogen isotopes. Experiments using hydrogen and deuterium were conducted to confirm the possibility of the recovery of hydrogen isotopes. In the exhaust gas containing H₂, impurities was removed in the membrane process, and only pure H₂ was recovered. And the H₂ in the exhaust gas of the He-GDC(Glow Discharge Cleaning) process was recovered using a cryogenic adsorption process. In addition, HAZOP analysis was performed for qualitative risk assessment. For scenario analysis, the damage prediction ALOHA program was used to calculate the range of influence. Finally measures were sought to improve safety.
