An analysis has been performed to estimate the additional number of workers and the additional collective dose in man-cSv which would be required, nuclear industry-wide as a result of reducing individual dose limit. This analysis can be extended to the reduction in the dose limits recommended by ICRP Publ.60 and BEIR V report as well as the proposed dose limits by regulatory authorities. An industry-wide database was employed in the analysis based on a summary of industry-wide occupational radiation exposure compiled by the Korea Radioisotope Association. Correlation model was employed to compute the affects of setting specific annual individual dose limits. In this study, we have addressed worker non-productivity while in the radiation environment on a parametric or 'sensitivity analysis' basis. This alleviates the need for developing such data underlying a summation of many individual tasks at many nuclear facilities. It has the advantage that very low non-productivity assumptions can readily be defended as conservative, in that it is difficult to approach such low worker non-productivity factors even in the best of environments in any industry. On a per facility basis, for calendar year 1997, the number of workers required would be increased from 231 workers to 269 workers and collective man-cSv dose would be also increased by approximately fourteen percent if the individual dose limit was reduced to 2 cSv/y and an individual worker non-productivity fraction of 0.1 is assumed.

일반적으로 산업에 소요되는 기술인력을 크게 나누면 고급기술인력 (engineer, technologist)과 중견기술인력 (technician)및 기능인 (crafts man, skill worker) 으로 나눌 수가 있다. 국가경제를 발전시키고 국력을 신장시켜 80년대 국제경쟁에서 뒤지지 않으려면 유능한 기술인력을 양성하는 교직이 불가피하다. 1982 년도 우리나라의 교육시책 방향중 공업교육시책에 해당되는 "고도산 업사회에 부응하는 과학기술교육의 진흥"은 그 비중을 상당히 크게 두고 있으며, 또한 "복지사회 구현을 위한 평생교육의 확충"도 공업교육 측면으로 불 수 있다고 하겠다. 공업교육의 시책방 향을 학교급별로 고찰해 보면 다음과 같다.학교급별로 고찰해 보면 다음과 같다.

The mechanization of production facilities being made rapid progress, and its function being diversified and complicated for industrialized period, the relation between machine and Its operator brings about many problems which are concerned with accident. In these circumstance, the purpose of industrial safety can not be properly achieved as considered by only one side of machine or man. Therefore, it is necessary to study how to cope with the safety of man-machine system. It has to be considered in the above mentioned contents that safety management can not be attained through only technique of numerical control. The cause of accident being studied scientifically, the service of safety problems has to be systematized and operated in rational safety organization. The purpose of this thesis is to consider preventing and decreasing industrial accident from production system field by means of the improvement of worker's own safety consciousness and introducing the function of safety management to the duties of labour union.

Annual radiation dose limit to radiation worker was substantially lowered in Korea by the adoption of 1990 recommendations of the International Commission on Radiation Protection (ICRP 60) in its legislation. On the other hand, radiation management environment in nuclear power plants is getting more worse because of the accumulation of radiation sources inside the system and the frequent need for maintenance according as the operation years of nuclear power plants increase. Therefore, Korea Hydro & Nuclear power Co., Ltd. (KHNP) has established a long-term 10 years plan from 2001 to 2010 for the reduction of radiation dose to workers. The plan is aimed for the reduction of annual dose per unit averaged over 5 years from 0.9 man-Sv in 2001 to 0.75 man-Sv in 2010 by radiation source reduction, equipment/tool improvement or new equipment development for easy maintenance, and the improvement of administration and system.

In order to propose a optimum method increasing accuracy and reproducibility in analysis of urine lead levels, we compared matrix modifier addition method and microwave digestion method. The results were as follows ; 1. Where the concentration of $Pd(NO_3)_2$(matrix modifier) was $50mg/{\ell}$, and ashing temperature was $900^{\circ}C$, the results were optimum. In case of matrix modifier addition method, the average coefficient of variation (CV) of normal man was 24.1%, and lead worker was 7.9%. The average urine lead levels of standard were $10.42\mu{g}/{\ell}$ and $19.89\mu{g}/{\ell}$ , the accuracies compared to reference values were 97.0% and 92.6%, respectively. 2. Microwave digestion temperature($160~180^{\circ}C$), time(15~25min) and the ratio of urine/ashing acid(1:1~4:1) did not significantly affect lead absorbance and background absorbance. Therefore we set up a optimum analytical conditions as follows: temperature, $160^{\circ}C$; time, 15min; the ratio of urine/ashing acid, 4:1. after samples were digested by the above analytical conditions, lead absorbance and background absorbance was measured at $450^{\circ}C$ as ashing temperature. The average coefficient of variation (CV) of normal man was 12.4%, and lead worker was 6.2%. The average urine lead levels of standard urine were $10.66\mu{g}/{\ell}$ and $23.31\mu{g}/{\ell}$, the accuracies compared to reference values were 99.3% and 103.9%, respectively. From the results, we suggest that microwave digestion method is a more favorable method than matrix modifier addition method because of easiness to reduce organic matter, possibility to analysis at low temperature and accuracy.

Health risk assessment is applied to streamlining LCA(Life Cycle Assessment) using Monte carlo simulation for probabilistic/stochastic exposure and risk distribution analysis caused by data variability and uncertainty. A case study was carried out to find benefits of this application. BTC(Benzene, Trichloroethylene, Carbon tetrachloride mixture alias) personal exposure cases were assumed as production worker(in workplace), manager(in office) and business man(outdoor). These cases were different from occupational retention time and exposure concentration for BTC consumption pattern. The result of cancer risk in these 3 scenario cases were estimated as $1.72E-4{\pm}1.2E+0$(production worker; case A), $9.62E-5{\pm}1.44E-5$(manger; case B), $6.90E-5{\pm}1.16E+0$(business man; case C), respectively. Portions of over acceptable risk 1.00E-4(assumed standard) were 99.85%, 38.89% and 0.61%, respectively. Estimated BTC risk was log-normal pattern, but some of distributions did not have any formal patterns. Except first impact factor(BTC emission quantity), sensitivity analysis showed that main effective factor was retention time in their occupational exposure sites. This case study is a good example to cover that LCA with probabilistic risk analysis tool can supply various significant information such as statistical distribution including personal/environmental exposure level, daily time activity pattern and individual susceptibility. Further research is needed for investigating real data of these input variables and personal exposure concentration and application of this study methodology.
