In this study, an underwater radiation detector was built using a GAGG(Ce) scintillator and silicon photomultiplier to establish an underwater radiation exposure monitoring system. The GAGG(Ce) scintillator is suitable for small radiation detectors as it strongly absorbs gamma rays and has a high light emission rate with no deliquescent properties. Additionally, the silicon photomultiplier is a light sensor with characteristics such as small size and low applied voltage. Further, a program and mobile app were developed to monitor the radiation coefficient values generated from the detector. According to the results of the evaluation of the characteristics of the underwater radiation monitoring system, when tested for its responsiveness to radiation intensity and reactivity, the system exhibited a coefficient of determination of at least 0.99 with respect to the radiation source distance. Additionally, when tested for its underwater environmental temperature dependence, the monitoring system exhibited an increase in the count rate up to a certain temperature because of the increasing dark current and a decrease in the count rate because of decreasing overvoltage. Extended studies based on the results of this study are expected to greatly contribute to immediate and continuing evaluation of the degree of radioactive contamination in underwater environments.

Beta radiation is measured for an environmental monitoring purpose or for an internal radiation exposure monitoring of nuclear power plant's worker. In korea, strontium 89 and strontium 90 is measured for an environmental monitoring purpose. Also tritium and carbon 14 contained in urine is measured for an internal radiation exposure monitoring of nuclear power plant's worker. Because above isotopes emits low energy beta radiations having a wide range of energy, very complicated isotope separation preprocess is needed. In this study, two mixed beta emitting isotopes are measured simultaneously using a liquid scintillation counter(LSC) and analyzed by using a developed statistical method. Banded least square method is used to analyze the mixed spectrum, and the goodness-of-fitness test is proposed. Test results show that the developed procedure can be very useful for analyzing a mixed beta emitting isotopes.

Purpose: This study evaluated the features of a pressure mapping system for patient motion monitoring in radiation therapy. Methods: The pressure mapping system includes an MS 9802 force sensing resistor (FSR) sensor with 2,304 force sensing nodes using 48 columns and 48 rows, controller, and control PC (personal computer). Radiation beam attenuation caused by pressure mapping sensor and signal perturbation by 6 and 10 mega voltage (MV) photon beam was evaluated. The maximum relative pressure value (mRPV), average relative pressure value (aRPV), the center of pressure (COP), and area of pressure distribution were obtained with/without radiation using the upper body of an anthropomorphic phantom for 30 minutes with 15 MV. Results: It was confirmed that the differences in attenuation induced by the FSR sensor for 6 and 10 MV photon beams were small. The differences in mRPV, aRPV, area of pressure distribution with/without radiation are about 0.6%, 1.2%, and 0.5%, respectively. The COP values with/without radiation were also similar. Conclusions: The characteristics of a pressure mapping system during radiation treatment were evaluated on the basis of attenuation and signal perturbation using radiation. The pressure distribution measured using the FSR sensor with little attenuation and signal perturbation by the MV photon beam would be helpful for patient motion monitoring.

We had developed the on-line environmental monitoring system which has installed around Kori Nuclear Power Plants and will be taken the place of the existing system. The system consists of a main computer and 11 sets of radiation monitoring post equipments. Nal(Tl) scintillation detectro was adopted in addition to ion-chamber detector and implemented with DCU(Dose Conversion Unit) and SCA(Single Channel Analyzer). Compared with the existing system, it has revised feature in the radiation measurements which are detection of artificial radioactivity and 2-ways of the radiatiion detectors. The field test trsults show that the developed radiation detecting equipments can measure environmental radiation withn 5.0% of the theoretical value.

Environmental radiation monitoring is required to protect from the effects of radiation in industrial fields such as nuclear power plant (NPP) monitoring, and various gamma camera systems are being developed. The purpose of this study is to optimize parameters of a diverging collimator composed of pure tungsten for compactness and lightness through Monte Carlo simulation. We conducted the performance evaluation based on spatial resolution and signal-to-noise ratio for point source and obtained gamma images and profiles. As a result, optimization was determined at a collimator height of 60.0 mm, a hole size of 1.5 mm, and a septal thickness of 1.0 mm. Also, the full-width-at-half-maximum was 3.5 mm and the signal-to-noise ratio was 53.5. This study proposes a compact 45° diverging collimator structure that can quickly and accurately identify the location of the source for radiation monitoring.

2008년 목표로 건설을 추진하고 있는 중저준위 방사성폐기물 처분시설의 환경 조사 계획을 수립하기 위해 국내 원자력법과 국제 수준을 조사하였다. 외국의 사례에 비추어 볼 때 원자력발전소에 비하여 분석량은 다소 증가할 것으로 예상된다. 중저준위 방사성폐기물 처분시설의 방사선 환경 조사는 원자력법과 처분 지역의 특성에 맞도록 조사 항목 및 지점을 조정하여 수행하여야 한다. 또한 주민에게 신뢰감을 줄 수 있는 다각적인 방법도 병행하여야 할 것으로 판단되었다.

When a semiconductor(pMOSFET) sensor is exposed to ionizing radiation, electrons/holes are generated in its oxide layer. By the phenomenon of hole traps in oxide layer during their move, the characteristics of semiconductor is changed. This paper describes the output characteristic changes of two kind of pMOSFET(domestic, japan) after C0-60 ${\gamma}$-irradiation on them for their application as radiation accumulated dose monitoring sensors. We found the threshold voltage shifts (VT) of pMOSFETs in proportion to irradiated radiation dose and their linear properties. These results make us confirm that we will be able to develop good accumulated radiation dose monitoring sensors.
