Polyamide 66 (PA66) nanofibers with Triallyl cyanurate (TAC) were obtained by electrospinning of formic acid and chloroform solution. Electron beam irradiation of PA66 nanofiber with and without TAC was carried out over a range of absorbed doses (20~100 kGy) in nitrogen. The characterization of the irradiated PA66 nanofibers and PA66 nanofibers with TAC was done by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and universal testing machine (UTM). The results of the SEM image analysis confirmed that the morphology of PA66 nanofibers was not altered by electron beam. The amount of TAC in PA66 nanofiber with TAC was identified by $^1H-NMR$ analysis. The degradation temperature of PA66 nanofibers with TAC at an absorbed dose of 20~100 kGy was higher than the irradiated PA66 nanofiber without TAC. On the other hand, the decreasing rate of modulus of irradiated PA66 nanofibers with TAC was less than PA66 nanofibers.

This paper describes the influence of Ultra-violet irradiation on time to tracking resistance of epoxy insulating materials by use of the inclined plane test. And, the influence of surface degradation was evaluated through several method such as measurement of contact angle, surface roughness, using a scanning electron microscopy. As the 1000 hours of the surface degradation with UV-CON, the flashover time decreases at different rates depending on epoxy resin and silicone rubber specimen. As the duration of the surface degradation with UV-CON is prolonged, the contact angle of epoxy resin decreases at the rate of degradation time, while that of silicone rubber was not exchanged. It is assumed that this phenomenon is related to the decrease in hydrophobicity of the surface of the materials. Also, as to epoxy resin, the decrease of hydrophobicity due to surface degradation with UV-CON is greater than that resulting from surface degradation with WOM. The UV radiation produced chalking and crazing on the surface of the insulating materials specimen.

An ozone-sensitive mutant of Escherichia coli strain B, MQ 1844 is described. Its properties, including high sensitivity to ozone and radiation, inducible filamentation, extensive DNA degradation and impaired DNA synthesis following ozonation, are attributable to a mutation in ozrB, a gene which is cotransducible with malB. Based on differences in phenotypic expression as well as on the particular location of this gene on the bacterial chromosome, ozrB appears as distinct from the other ozone-or radiation-sensitivity genes previously described.

Wake field effect on the electron beam from the undulator chamber in PAL-XFEL is analyzed. The wake field takeover some energy from the electron beam which will increase the energy spread of the electron beam. This will cause the degradation of the radiation power in PAL-XFEL. To decrease the effect, the surface of the undulator vacuum chamber should be fabricated with 200 nm surface roughness and 5 nm oxidation layer. In this presentation, the numerical calculation of the wake will be shown. Simulation results of the radiation generation in PAL-XFEL also will be presented.

The development of radiation-tolerant radio-frequency (RF) systems can be a solution for applications in extreme radiation environments, such as nuclear power plant monitoring and space exploration. Among the crucial components within an RF system, the low noise amplifier (LNA) stands out due to its vulnerability to TID effects, mainly relying on transistors as its main devices. In this study, the TID effects in the LNA using standard 0.18 ㎛ complementary metal oxide semiconductors (CMOS) technology are estimated and analyzed. The results show that the LNA can withstand absorbed radiation up to 100 kGy. The S₂₁, S₁₁, noise figure (NF), stability (K), and linearity of the third input intercept point (IIP3) slightly shifted from the initial values of 0.8312 dB, 0.793 dB, 0.00381 dB, 1.34406, and 2.36066 dBm, respectively which are still comparable to the typical performances. Moreover, the standard 0.18 ㎛ technology has demonstrated its radiation tolerance, as it exhibits negligible performance degradation in the conventional LNA even when exposed to radiation levels up to 100 kGy. In this context, simulation approach offers a means to predict the TID effects and estimate the radiation exposure limit for electronic devices, particularly when transistors are used as the primary RF components.

Acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) has been issued recently in contaminated water environments because of potential impacts on ecosystem and public health. This study was aimed at investigating the possibility of ASA degradation using gamma ray irradiation. In addition, the use of sodium persulfate, hydrogen peroxide, ferrous sulfate were tested in order to examine a synergistic effect with gamma ray. The absorbed dose was ranged from 0.2 to 10 kGy and the concentration of oxidants were from 0.1 to 10 mM in this study. The concentration of ASA was gradually decreased corresponding to the increase of the absorbed dose. When soudium persulfate was simultaneously applied, most of the parent compound was completely degraded even at a low dose of 0.8 kGy. The removal efficiency of total organic carbon was 90% even at the highest dose of 10 kGy without sodium persulfate. However, the efficiency was dramatically enhanced up to 98% at the same dose by adding 10 mM of oxidants. It was suggested that hydroxyl radical ($OH{\cdot}$) and sulfate radical ($SO{_4}^-{\cdot}$) were formed in the system and made roles in degrading ASA at the same time.

진단방사선 영상을 획득하기 위해 이용되는 X-ray는 연속적인 에너지 분포를 가지지만 저에너지 광자의 경우에는 영상 형성 보다는 환자피폭에 더 많은 기여를 하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 이러한 저에너지 광자를 제거하기 위해 임상에서는 알루미늄 필터를 적용하고 있으나 이는 빔 경화 현상으로 인한 영상 품질에 악영향을 미칠 가능성이 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 알루미늄 필터에 의한 산란 선량이 의료 영상의 품질에 미치는 영향에 대하여 고찰하고자 하였다. 또한, 영상의 대조도 저하를 정량적으로 표현하기 위해 상대 표준 편차 및 산란 열화 인자를 평가 지표로서 활용하였다. 연구 결과, 70 kVp 이상의 전압에서 진단 영상을 확보 시 NCRP에 의해 권장되는 2.5 mmAl를 기준에서 전방산란율 분석 결과 0.69 %, 산란 열화 인자 분석 결과는 0.005, NNPS 분석 결과 3.59 mm2의 변화가 나타났다. 이러한 연구 결과를 바탕으로 알루미늄 필터의 두께가 증가함에 따라 발생하는 산란 선량이 의료 영상의 품질을 저하시키는 것을 정량적으로 검증하였다.

As an activity of building Korean Space Weather Prediction Center (KSWPC), we has studied of radiation effect on the spacecraft components. High energy charged particles trapped by geomagnetic field in the region named Van Allen Belt can move to low altitude along magnetic field and threaten even low altitude spacecraft. Space Radiation can cause equipment failures and on occasions can even destroy operations of satellites in orbit. Sun sensors aboard Science and Technology Satellite (STSAT-1) was designed to detect sun light with silicon solar cells which performance was degraded during satellite operation. In this study, we try to identify which particle contribute to the solar cell degradation with ground based radiation facilities. We measured the short circuit current after bombarding electrons and protons on the solar cells same as STSAT-1 sun sensors. Also we estimated particle flux on the STSAT-1 orbit with analyzing NOAA POES particle data. Our result clearly shows STSAT-1 solar cell degradation was caused by energetic protons which energy is about 700 keV to 1.5 MeV. Our result can be applied to estimate solar cell conditions of other satellites.

The application of advanced oxidation for the treatment of oil refinery wastewater under UV radiation by using nanoparticles of titanium dioxide was investigated. Synthetic wastewater prepared from phenol crystals; Power Glide SAE40 motor vehicle oil and water was used. Response surface methodology (RSM) based on the Box-Behnken design was employed to design the experimental runs, optimize and study the interaction effects of the operating parameters including catalyst concentration, run time and airflow rate to maximize the degradation of oil (SOG) and phenol. The analysis of variance and the response models developed were used to evaluate the data obtained at a 95% confidence level. The use of the RSM demonstrated the graphical relationship that exists between individual factors and their interactive effects on the response, as compared to the one factor at time approach. The obtained optimum conditions of photocatalytic degradation are the catalyst concentration of 2 g/L, the run time of 30 min and the airflow rate of 1.04 L/min. Under the optimum conditions, a 68% desirability performance was obtained, representing 81% and 66% of SOG and phenol degradability, respectively. Thus, the hydrocarbon oils were readily degradable, while the phenols were more resistant to photocatalytic degradation.

Radiation treatment with gamma-rays and electron-beams was used to remove polyvinyl alcohol(PVA), one of the main components of dyeing wastewater. PVA was effectively decomposed by radiation treatment, thus the removal was near 100 % at an initial PVA concentration of 44 mg/L. However, total organic carbon(TOC) removal was less than 5 % due to lower transformation of PVA to $CO_2$. This directly indicates the radiation treatment alone is not appropriate for the complete decomposition of PVA. In this sense, the improvement of biodegradability($BOD_5/COD$) of PVA by radiation treatment was studied. Both gamma-ray and electron-beam treatments significantly increased the biodegradability of PVA by transforming non-biodegradable PVA to biodegradable by-products. This suggests radiation treatment, especially electron-beam treatment that showed better improvement of biodegradability, can be used as a pre-treatment of biological degradation process of PVA.
