공기시료채칩 종료후 공기여과지에 채집된 시료중 방사능을 일정한 시간구간을 두어 계측함으로써 얻은 붕괴곡선을 이론적 방법에 의하여 분석할 수 있는 간단한 방법을 개발하였으며, 이 방법을 이용하여 라돈 붕괴생성물 각각의 공기중 방사능 농도를 결정하였다. 라돈 붕괴생성물 각 핵종의 방사능 농도는 알파붕괴, 시료채집시간, 그리고 수치계수의 함수로 표시된 방정식으로 부터 얻었다. 그리고 대기중 라돈 붕괴생성물 개개의 방사평형상태도 또한 조사하였다. TRIGA Mark-III 원자로실내에서 채집한 공기시료는 상당히 비평형상태에 있었다. 라돈 붕괴생성물들 간의 방사성 불평형의 정도는 공기와류조건과 관련된 공기시료 채집시간에 따라 상당히 달라지는 것같았다. 본 연구 결과에서 얻은 자료는 인체 내부방사선 피폭선량평가와 기체 방사성 물질 방출감시기 교정에 유용한 기초자료가될 것이 확실하다.

Background: The evaluation of skyshine distribution, release of airborne radioactive nuclides, and soil activation and groundwater migration were required for radiological assessment of the impact on the environment surrounding In-Flight (IF)-system facility of the RAON (Rare isotope Accelerator complex for ON-line experiment) accelerator complex. Materials and Methods: Monte Carlo simulation by MCNPX code was used for evaluation of skyshine and activation analysis for air and soil. The concentration model was applied in the estimation of the groundwater migration of radionuclides in soil. Results and Discussion: The skyshine dose rates at 1 km from the facility were evaluated as 1.62 × 10^-3 μSv·hr^-1. The annual releases of ³H and ¹⁴C were calculated as 9.62 × 10^-5 mg and 1.19 × 10^-1 mg, respectively. The concentrations of ³H and ²²Na in drinking water were estimated as 1.22 × 10^-1 Bq·cm^-3 and 8.25 × 10^-3 Bq·cm^-3, respectively. Conclusion: Radiological assessment of environmental impact on the IF-facility of RAON was performed through evaluation of skyshine dose distribution, evaluation of annual emission of long-lived radionuclides in the air and estimation of soil activation and groundwater migration of radionuclides. As a result, much lower exposure than the limit value for the public, 1 mSv·yr^-1, is expected during operation of the IF-facility.
