⁸²Sr for ⁸²Rb generator was produced through the irradiation of the proton beam on the ^nat.RbCI target at the target irradiation facility installed at the end of the Rl-dedicated beamline of the 100 MeV proton linear accelerator of KOMAC (Korea Multi-purpose Accelerator Complex). The average current of the proton beam was 1.2 µA for irradiation time of 150 min. For the separation and purification of the ⁸²Sr from ^nat.RbCI irradiated, Chelex-100 resin was used. The activities of ⁸²Sr in the irradiated ^nat.RbCI target solution and after purification were 45.29 µCi and 43.4 µCi, respectively. The separation and purification yield was 95.8%. As an adsorbent to be filled in the generator for ⁸²Sr adsorption hydrous tin oxide was selected. The adsorption yield of ⁸²Sr into the generator adsorbent was > 99 %, and the total amount of ⁸²Sr adsorbed to the generator was 21.6 µCi as of the day of the ⁸²Rb elution experiment. When the elution amount was 22 mL, the maximum⁸²Rb elution yield was 93.3%, and the elution yield increased as the flow rate increased. After the eluted ⁸²Rb was filled in the correction phantom of the small PET for animals, a PET image was taken. The image scan time was set to 5 min, and the phantom PET image was successfully obtained. As results of impurity analysis on eluted ⁸²Rb using ICP-MS, ^nat.Rb stable isotopes that compete in vivo of ⁸²Rb were identified as undetected levels and were determined to be No-Carrier-Added (NCA).

가속기 기술을 이용한 재료에의 표면처리기술은 일정에너지를 가지는 이온이 재료표면에 충돌함으로서, 스퍼터링, 이온주입, 미세구조 변화 등의 현상을 이용하여 재료표면의 특성을 변화시켜 기계적, 화학적, 광학적, 전기적 특성 등을 변화시키는 표면개질기술에 활용되어져 왔다. 이러한 이온빔 표면처리기술은 이온의 종류나 시편의 제한 없이 치밀한 원자혼합물을 형성하고, 계면형성이 없고, 또한 저온공정이 가능하므로, 정밀도가 요구되는 부품의 내마모성과 내부식성 등을 포함한 기본적인 표면특성 뿐만 아니라 전기전도도, 친소수특성, 내광성 등 표면에 관계된 특성을 개선시키는 역할을 하며, 이온빔 믹싱, 이온빔 스퍼터링, 이온빔 전처리 후 코팅 등의 복합공정을 통해 보다 개선된 표면특성을 가지는 박막제조공정에 적용될 수 있다. 본 발표에서는 지난 10년간 가속기기술을 응용한 이온빔 장치기술 개발현황을 발표하고, 이러한 장치를 활용하여 이온빔 표면처리기술 사례인 내광성/내스크래치성 향상 고분자, 정전기방지, 초친수 표면처리, 기체투과도제어, 자외선차단 필름, 고속에칭기술 등의 기술개발 현황을 발표하고자 한다. 한국원자력연구원 양성자가속기연구센터에서는 수백 keV급의 이온빔 표면처리 장치 이외에도 100MeV 선형 양성자가속기를 이용하여 2013년부터 다양한 분야의 양성자빔/이온빔 이용자들에게 이온빔 장치와 20MeV와 100MeV 이용시설에서 양성자빔/이온빔 서비스를 제공하고 있다. 2016년 기준 이용자수는 양성자가속기 392명, 이온빔장치 279명이며, 이용자 수행과제는 양성자가속기, 이온빔장치 각각 130여개 과제가 수행되었다. 이러한 이용자들의 빔이용연구를 통해 20여편의 논문투고, 10여편의 특허출원의 성과를 얻었으며, 나노분야, 생명공학분야 등의 다양한 분야에서의 빔이용기술을 통해 활발한 연구가 이루어질 것으로 예상된다.

Recently, a ship-shaped barge has been developed to improve the resistance performance, as well as course-keeping capability. However, the stern of the barge is still similar to a box shape, and the vortex generated at the side of the barge creates drag and yaw instability. In order to solve this problem, stern skegs are normally used. The present paper deals with the correlation between the size of the stern skegs and the barge dimensions and hull coefficient. A stern skeg was designed to prevent yaw instability and minimize any additional resistance. The resistance test and course keeping test were performed in the towing tank at Pusan National University. To determine the correlation parameters between the designed stern skeg size and barge dimensions, a parametric study was also performed. Based on the experimental data from five barges, the optimum skeg dimensions were successfully derived. It is expected that the validation of the present study will be carried out by further experiments and computational comparisons in the near future.

The measurement of branching ratio of ¹⁶⁷Yb radioactive isotopes from gamma-ray spectrum of ¹⁶⁹Tm(p,3n)¹⁶⁷Yb reaction were performed by using a 100-MeV proton linear accelerator of the Korea Multi-purpose Accelerator Complex (KOMAC). The ¹⁶⁷Yb isotope has a half-life of 17.5 minutes and decays to ¹⁶⁹Tm. The gamma rays generated from the ¹⁶⁷Yb isotope were measured using an HPGe detector gamma ray spectroscopy system. The energy calibration of the detector and the efficiency measurement of the detector were determined using a standard source. The gamma rays of known main energy (62.9, 106.2, 113.3, 143.5 and 176.3 keV) were measured. On the other hand, information about the intensity of the generated gamma rays is very inaccurate. Therefore, in this study, the decay strength of the main gamma rays was accurately measured. Overall, it was different from the previously known results, and in particular, it was found that the intensity of the main decay gamma ray, such as the 113.3 and 106.2 keV gamma ray, was overestimated, and it was found that the gamma ray, such as 62.9, 116.7 and 143.5 keV was underestimated. The present results are considered to be important information in the fields of nuclear fusion, astrophysics and nuclear physics in the future.
