A personal portable type electronic dosimeter using silicon PIN photodiode and small GM tube is recently attracting much attention due to its advantages such as an immediate indication function of dose and dose rate, alerting function, and efficient management of radiation exposure history and dose data. We designed and manufactured a semiconductor radiation detector aimed to directly measure X-ray and v-ray irradiated in silicon PIN photodiode, without using high-priced scintillation materials. Using this semiconductor radiation detector, we developed an active electronic dosimeter, which measures the exposure dose using pulse counting method. In this case, it has a shortcoming of over-evaluating the dose that shows the difference between the dose measured with electronic dosimeter and the dose exposed to the human body in a low energy area. We proposed an energy compensation filter and developed a dose conversion algorithm to make both doses indicated on the detector and exposed to the human body proportional to each other, thus enabling a high-precision dose measurement. In order to prove its reliability in conducting personal dose measurement, crucial for protecting against radiation, the implemented electronic dosimeter was evaluated to successfully meet the IEC's criteria, as the KAERI (Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute) conducted test on dose indication accuracy, and linearity, energy and angular dependences.

고준위 방사성폐기물 처분장으로부터 유출된 핵종에 의한 선량률을 계산하기 위한 생태계평가 코드 ACBIO를 일반적인 구획모델링도구인 AMBER를 이용하여 BIOMASS 방법론을 적용하여 개발하였다. ACBIO의 유용성을 보이고, 구획의 변화나 일부 파라미터값의 변화에 따른 구획 내 농도와 방사능, 그리고 구획간의 플럭스의 민감도도 검토하였다. 지하매질-생태계 경계(GBI)를 통해 넘어오는 핵종의 유출플럭스에 따른 선량환산인자를 각 핵종별로 구하여 결정집단내 개인의 최대피폭선량율을 선량환산인자로 얻는 계산을 수행하였다. 또한 생태계 요소의 구획모델링이나 가능한 피폭집단의 설정, 그리고 GBI의 인지 등이 생태계평가에 중요한 요소가 되는 것을 확인하였다.

동적 세기조절방사선치료 시 선량률 변화에 따른 다엽콜리메이터의 엽의 위치를 반영하는 선량학적엽간격과 다엽콜리메이터 투과계수 변화를 분석하여 다엽콜리메이터의 정확성을 평가하고자 하였다. Millennium 120 MLC 시스템이 장착된 선형가속기의 6 MV와 10 MV X선으로 물 팬텀의 깊이 10 cm에서 CC13과 FC-65G 전리함을 이용하여 선량률을 200, 300, 400, 500, 600 MU/min으로 변화시켜 선량학적엽간격과 다엽콜리메이터 투과계수를 측정하였다. 400 MU/min의 선량률 기준으로 200, 300, 400, 500, 600 MU/min으로 선량률을 변경하여 선량학적엽간격 값을 측정한 결과, 6 MV의 경우 각각 -2.59, -1.89, 0.00, -0.58, -2.89%의 차이가 나타났고, 10 MV에서는 각각 ?2.52, -1.69, 0.00, +1.28, -1.98%의 차이가 나타났다. 다엽콜리메이터 투과계수는 두 종류의 에너지와 모든 선량률에서 약 ${\pm}1%$ 이내의 범위로 측정되었다. 본 연구는 동적 세기조절방사선치료 시 선량률 변화에 대하여 다엽콜리메이터의 선량학적엽간격과 투과계수 변화를 평가하였다. 선량률 변화에 따라서 다엽콜리메이터의 투과계수의 차이는 미미했지만, 선량학적엽간격의 차이는 큰 것으로 확인하였다. 따라서 동적 세기조절방사선치료 시 임의로 선량률을 변경하면 종양에 전달되는 선량에 많은 영향을 미치므로 치료 중에 선량률을 변화시키지 않는 것이 더욱 정확한 방사선치료 방법이라 사료된다.

In brachytherapy, it is important to determine the positions of the radiation sources which are inserted into a patient and to estimate the dose resulting from the treatment. Calculation of the dose distribution throughout an implant is so laborious that it is rarely done by manual methods except for model cases. It is possible to calculate isodose distributions and tumor doses for individual patients by the use of a microcomputer. In this program, the dose rate and dose distributions are calculated by numerical integration of point source and the localization of radiation sources are obtained from two radiographs at right angles taken by a simulator developed for the treatment planning. By using microcomputer for brachytherapy, we obtained the result as following 1. Dose calculation and irradiation time for tumor could be calculated under one or five seconds after input data. 2. It was same value under$\pm2\%$ error between dose calculation by computer program and measurement dose. 3. It took about five minutes to reconstruct completely dose distribution for intracavitary irradiation. 4. Calculating by computer made remarkly reduction of dose errors compared with Quimby's calculation in interstitial radiation implantation. 5. It could calculate the biological isoffect dose for high and low dose rate activities.

중성자 및 감마선에 대한 선량율 환산인자(flux-to-dose-rate conversion factors)를 최대흡수선량 개념을 근거로 하여 계산하였다. 중성자 및 감자선에 대한 선량율 군산인자는 에너지 범위가 각각 2.5$\times$$10^{-8}$ 20MeV 및 0.01-15MeV에 대하여 계산하였다. 이제까지 선량율 환산인자는 단일에너지에 대한 값이 였었는데 본 연구에서는 유사인체조직 (phantom)내에서 방사선의 에너지 분포가 직선적이 아니라고 가정하여 계산되었다. 특히 DLC-23, DLC-27, DLC-31 등 핵정수 자료의 각 근에 적합한 선량율 환산인자를 결정하였다는 점이 특색이다. 결과적으로 ANSI N666에 있는 값과 본 연구에서 계산된 값이 잘 일치된다는 것을 확인하였고, 본 결과는 어떤 방사선장에서도 중성자나 감마선 선량율 분포를 계산하는데 이용될 수 있고, 방사선 차폐해석, 방사선방어, radiation dosimetry 등에 필요한 값이 될 것이다.

Effect of ethanol on the absorption rate, blood level and bioavailability of sulfamethazine (SM) in rats was determined. Absorption rate of SM was determined both by the in vitro and in situ experiment. In vitro, absorption rate of SM in rat small intestine was increased by 0.3, 1.0 and 3.0% ethanol. In situ, absorption rate of SM was increased by 0.3 and 1.0% ethanol but not by 3.0% ethanol. After oral administration, blood level of SM was elevated and relative bioavailability was significantly increased to 114.8% at the dose of 0.6g/kg ethanol but not significantly at the dose of 3.0g/kg ethanol. The time for attainment of peak blood level was changed from 2.5 to 1.5hr. Ethanol enhanced absorption rate constant of SM significantly and reduced elimination rate constant of SM administered orally at the dose of 0.6g/kg ethanol.

We have presented with the "A study on overexposure rate according to over-density in chest X-ray radiography(I)" last year. In this report, We could calculate the entrance skin dose from chest X-ray film density the formula $I_0=Ix/e^{-{\mu}x}{\times}mG$, (mG is Bucky factor) was used to deliver the skin dose. At that time, There was two problems that the Bucky factor from maker was not equal to field experience and the field size influenced on the Attenuation Rate. The experiment of Bucky factor was done from film method and retried the Attenuation Rate of Acryle phantom according to Good & Poor geometry. As the results, The Bucky factor from maker higher than in this experiments $30{\sim}40%$. The Attenuation Rate in good geometric condition brings about a little alteration compare with poor geometric condition. In the field experiment, we could get the chest image with very low entrance skin radiation dose $29.3{\mu}Sv$, especially with air gap methode, the entrance skin dose was detected $10{\mu}Sv$.

This study was conducted to evaluate the degradation and mineralization of PPCPs (Pharmaceuticals and Personal Care Products) using a CBD(Collimated Beam Device) of UV/H₂O₂ advanced oxidation process. The decomposition rate of each substance was regarded as the first reaction rate to the ultraviolet irradiation dose. The decomposition rate constants for PPCPs were determined by the concentration of hydrogen peroxide and ultraviolet irradiation intensity. If the decomposition rate constant is large, the PPCPs concentration decreases rapidly. According to the decomposition rate constant, chlortetracycline and sulfamethoxazole are expected to be sufficiently removed by UV irradiation only without the addition of hydrogen peroxide. In the case of carbamazepine, however, very high UV dose was required in the absence of hydrogen peroxide. Other PPCPs required an appropriate concentration of hydrogen peroxide and ultraviolet irradiation intensity. The UV dose required to remove 90% of each PPCPs using the degradation rate constant can be calculated according to the concentration of hydrogen peroxide in each sample. Using this reaction rate, the optimum UV dose and hydrogen peroxide concentration for achieving the target removal rate can be obtained by the target PPCPs and water properties. It can be a necessary data to establish design and operating conditions such as UV lamp type, quantity and hydrogen peroxide concentration depending on the residence time for the most economical operation.
