The conversion efficiency of a cesium iodine coated micro-channel plate is studied. We use the EGS4 code to transport photons and generated electrons until their energies become less than 1keV and 10keV respectively. Among the generated electrons, the emission from the secondary electrons located within the escape depth of 56nm from the photo-converter boundary is estimated by integrating the product of the secondary electrons with a probability depending only on their geometric locations. The secondary electron emission from the generated electrons of energy higher than 100eV is estimated by the 'universal yield curve'. The sum of these provides an estimate for the secondary electron yield and we show that results of applying this algorithm agree with known experimental results. Using this algorithm, we computed secondary electron emissions from a micro-channel plate used in a gas electron multiplier detector that is currently being developed at Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute.

Spatial and time distributions of x-rays and neutrons from Hokkaido University 45 MeV electron linac facility were measured and compared with the calculation. In the calculation, x-rays in a Pb-target were evaluated using the EGS-code. The x-rays and the neutrons from the target to the facility building boundary and skyshine process outside the facility building were simulated with the EGS and the MCNP respectively.

Alternaria from different Allium plants was characterized by multilocus sequence analysis. Based on sequences of the ${\beta}$-tubulin (BT2b), the Alternaria allergen a1 (Alt a1), and the RNA polymerase II second largest subunit (RPB2) genes and phylogenetic data analysis, isolates were divided into two groups. The two groups were identical to representative isolates of A. porri (EGS48-147) and A. vanuatuensis (EGS45-018). The conidial characteristics and pathogenicity of A. vanuatuensis also well supported the molecular characteristics. This is the first record of A. vanuatuensis E. G. Simmons & C. F. Hill from Korea and China.

In this paper, reflection and RCS characteristic of the EGS(Electromagnetic Gradient Surface) due to incident angle and polarization is analyzed. Incident angle, ${\theta}_i$, is rotated from $0^{\circ}$ to $50^{\circ}$ with $10^{\circ}$ steps and perpendicular and parallel polarization of incident wave are also considered each incident angle. Reflection and RCS characteristic is not much affected by variation of polarization for normal incidence(${\theta}_i=0^{\circ}$). Reflection pattern has different characteristic due to variation of incident angle and polarization but the EGS has about 2 dB of RCS difference due to polarization in RCS characteristic.

We examined the variation of percent depth dose (PDD) curves for 10 MV X-rays in the presence of magnetic fields. The EGS4 Monte Carlo code was applied and modified to take account of the effect of electron deflection under magnetic field was used. We defined and tested DI (dose improvement) and DR (dose reduction) to describe variation of PDD curves under various magnetic fields. For a magnetic field of 3 T applied at the depth region of 5-10 cm and field size of 10${\times}$10 $\textrm{cm}^2$, the DI is 1.56 (56% improvement) and DR is 0.68 (32% reduction). We explained the results from the Lorentz law and the concept of electron equilibrium. We suggested that the dose optimization in radiotherapy can be achieved from using the characteristics of dose distributions under magnetic fields.

The Monte Carlo simulation method is a numerical solution to a problem that models objects interacting with other objects or their environment based upon simple object-object or object-environment relationships. In spite of its great accuracy, It was turned away because of long calculation time to simulate a model. But, it is used to simulate a linear accelerator frequently with the advance of computer technology. To simulate linear accelerator in Monte Carlo simulations, there are many parameters needed to input to Monte Carlo code. These data can be supported by a linear accelerator manufacturer. Although the model of a linear accelerator is the same, a different characteristic property can be found. Thus, we performed a commissioning process of 6MV photon beam in Varian 2300C/D model with BEAM/EGS4 Monte Carlo code. The head geometry data were put into BEAM/EGS4 data. The mean energy and energy spread of the electron beam incident on the target were varied to match Monte Carlo simulations to measurements. TLDs (thermoluminescent dosimeter) and radiochromic films were employed to measure the absorbed dose in a water phantom. Beam profile was obtained in 40cm${\times}$40cm field size and Depth dose was in 10cm${\times}$10cm. At first, we compared the depth dose between measurements and Monte Carlo simulations varying the mean energy of an incident electron beam. Then, we compared the beam profile with adjusting the beam radius of the incident electron beam in Monte Carlo simulation. The results were found that the optimal mean energy was 6MV and beam radius of 0.1mm was well matched to measurements.

지열은 날씨와 기온 등에 영향을 받지 않고 연중 가동할 수 있어 기저부하를 담담할 수 있는 유일한 신재생에너지 자원이므로 이에 대한 기술개발이 시급하다. 우리나라는 비화산지대이며 지중 온도가 가장 높은 지역의 5km에서 약 $170^{\circ}C$ 내외이므로 외국에 비해 지온경사도가 크지 않은 편이다. 그리고 3km 이상에서는 지하대수층이 거의 존재하지 않기 때문에 지열발전을 위해서는 EGS 기법을 도입할 수 밖에 없는 실정이다. 그리고 지열수를 확보할 수 있는 온도범위가 약 $100{\sim}150^{\circ}C$ 정도이므로 이에 적합한 지열발전 플랜트를 선정할 필요가 있다. 일반적으로 지열발전에 적용되는 플랜트는 건증기 지열발전, 플래쉬증기 지열발전, 바이너리 사이클 지열발전으로 분류할 수가 있으나 국내 여건에 맞는 방식으로서 바이너리 사이클 발전으로서 ORC 플랜트 또는 Kalina 사이클 플랜트가 적합하므로 이에 대한 기술 개발이 적극적으로 이루어져야 한다. 따라서 국내 지열발전의 기술개발에 있어서 핵심요소는 심부천공 및 EGS를 위한 인공파쇄기술과 지상 플랜트로서 저온지열 발전 플랜트의 기술확보가 필요한 실정이다. 이와 같은 기술개발이 완성되면 발전 뿐만아니라 집단지역난방, 온실 및 양어장 등에도 열공급이 가능한 열병합발전이 가능하게 될 것이다. 또한, EGS 기술로서 상업적 성공을 이룬 것은 세계적으로 2~3개 사례에 불과한 신기술로서, EGS 기술의 국내 조기 실현으로 기술 선점 및 해외 수출을 모색할 필요가 있다. 그리고 심부 지열자원은 국내 어디에나 부존하는 ubiquitous 자원이며 이산화탄소 배출이 전무한 청정 국산 에너지 자원이나, 이의 개발에는 높은 초기 투자비와 risk를 요하므로 민간 업체의 투자가 제약을 받는다. 따라서 정부의 적극적인 지원하에 산.학.연 중심으로 시범보급이 우선 이루어진 후 민간의 자발적 투자를 통한 지열 개발을 유도할 필요가 있다.

Mongolia has three(3) geothermal zones and eight(8) hydrogeothermal systems/regions that are, fold-fault platform/uplift zone, concave-largest subsidence zone, and mixed intermediate-transitional zone. Average temperature, heat flow, and geothermal gradient of hot springs in Arhangai located to fold-fault platform/uplift zone are $55.8^{\circ}C$, 60~110 mW/m2 and $35{\sim}50^{\circ}C/km$ respectively and those of Khentii situated in same zone are $80.5^{\circ}C$, 40~50 mW/m2, and $35{\sim}50^{\circ}C/km$ separately. Temperature of hydrothermal water at depth of 3,000 m is expected to be about $173{\sim}213^{\circ}C$ based on average geothermal gradient of $35{\sim}50^{\circ}C/km$. Among eight systems, Arhangai and Khentii located in A type hydrothermal system, Khovsgol in B type, Mongol Altai plateau in C type, and Over Arhangai in D type are the most feasible areas to develop geothermal power generation by Enhanced Geothermal System (EGS). Potential electric power generation by EGS is estimated about 2,760 kW at Tsenher, 1,752 kW at Tsagaan Sum, 2,928 kW at Khujir, 2,190 kW at Baga Shargaljuut, and 7,125 kW at Shargaljuut.
