As nuclear industry has been developed, a various types of radiological contamination has occurred. After 9.11 terror in U.S.A., it has been concerned that terrorists' active area has been enlarged to use nuclear or radioactive substance. Recently, the most powerful earth-quake stroke, which triggered a massive tsunami in Japan and then Fukushima nuclear power plant reactor has suffered from a serious accident in history. The Fukushima reactor accident has occurred an anxiety of radiation leaks and about 170,000 people have been evacuated from the accidental area near the nuclear power plant. For these reasons, a social chaos can be occurred if radiological contamination occurs to the supply system for the drinking water. As such, the establishment of the radiation monitoring system for the city main water system is compelling for the national security. In this study, a feasibility test of radiation monitoring system which consists of unified hybrid-type radiation detectors was experimented for multi detection system by using gamma-ray imaging. The hybrid-type radiation sensors were fabricated with CsI(Tl) scintillators and photodiodes. A preamplifier and amplifier was also fabricated and assembled with the sensor in the shielding case. For the preliminary test of detection of radiological contamination in the river, multi CsI(Tl)-PIN photodiode radiation detectors and $^{137}Cs$ gamma-ray source were used. The DAQ was done by Linux based ROOT program and NI DAQ system with Labview program. The simulated contamination was assumed to be occurred at Gapcheon river in Daejeon city. Multi CsI(Tl)-PIN photodiode radiation detectors were positioned at the Gapcheon river side. Assuming that the radiological contaminations flows in the river the $^{137}Cs$ gamma-ray source has been moved and then, the contamination region was reconstructed.

교역량이 증가되고 있는 수입 오렌지를 대상으로 radiation induced marker검색을 위하여, 방사선 조사시 예상되는 생물학적, 물리적 변화에 기초한 DNA comet assay, 열발광 (TL) 및 전자스핀공명 (ESR) 분석을 실시하였다. DNA comet assay 결과, 오렌지의 씨 및 과육의 cell은 감마선 조사와 무관하게 긴 tail을 가진 comet 모양으로 관찰되었으며, 저온 저장 6주까지도 유사한 경향이 유지되어 marker로의 활용 가능성이 낮았다. TL 측정 에서 비조사 시료는 약 200~30$0^{\circ}C$ 부근에서 매우 낮은 intensity의 glow curve를 나타내었고, 0.5 kGy 이상의 조사 시료에서는 조사 시료 특유의 peak가 18$0^{\circ}C$ 부근에서 나타났으며, 조사 선량의 증가에 따라 intensity 도 점차 증가하였다 TL 측정은 저장 6주까지도 가능하였고, TL ratio(TL$_1$/TL$_2$)의 산출은 검지 결과의 신뢰도를 높여주었다. ESR 측정에서는 시료의 씨, 과육 및 과피 부위에서 방사선 조사 유래의 특이적인 signal이 나타나지 않아 조사 시료와 비조사 시료의 구분이 불가능하였다. 이상의 결과에서 볼때 오렌지는 TL 분석에 의해 방사선 조사 여부의 확인이 가능하며 이 방법은 오렌지의 저온 상품성이 유지되는 저장6주 이후에도 적용이 가능한 것으로 나타났다.

The analysis of the radiation effect on matter has been performed using stochastic methods. Recently, It was discovered that the detector pulses of radiation can be analysed using deterministic method that utilizes the chaotic behaviour with an attractor found in a noise region. We acquired a time series for pulse tram of Am-241 using scintillation detector and reconstructed a phase space, then performed new analysis for the radiation detection signal by applying embedding theory, Lyapunov exponent, correlation dimension, autocorrelation dimension, and power spectrum.

실내 라돈 검출기의 신뢰성 평가를 위해서 미국 Landauer사의 $RadTrak^{(R)}$, 헝가리 Radosys사의 $Radopot^{(R)}$, 그리고 미국 Rad elec 사의 $E-PERM^{(R)}$ 검출기의 성능을 비교 검토하였다. RadTrak과 Radopot에 대한 라돈 표준 챔버 테스트 결과, $AlphaGUARD^{(R)}$ 검출 결과와 비교하여 각각 -13.2%. -6.0%로 라돈 검출기 성능평가기준인 ${\pm}20%$ 이내에 포함되는 결과를 보였다. 또한, 실제 현장에서의 장기간 측정을 통한 성능을 평가하기 위하여 약 100여개의 가옥 내 동일한 장소에 각각의 검출기를 1 년 동안 설치하여 비교하였다. RadTrak 과 Radopot 의 비교에서는 매우 좋은 상관관계 ($R^2$ = 0.91)를 보였지만, E-PERM과 Radopot의 비교결과, 거의 상관성을 파악 할 수 없었다($R^2$ = 0.021). 또한, E-PERM을 이용한 연평균 전국 실내 공간감마선량률 등준위도는 Portable Ion Chamber를 이용한 전국 실외 공간감마선량률 등준위도와 다소 상이한 결과를 보였다. 실험 결과를 바탕으로 향 후 대규모 라돈농도조사에 필요한 검출기 선정 요건에 대해서 논의 하였다.

Physical detection methods, photostimulated luminescence (PSL), thermoluminescence (TL) and electron spin resonance (ESR) were applied to detect electron beam-irradiated agricultural products, such as red pepper, black pepper, raisin, walnut, beef seasoning and pistachio. The absorbed irradiation doses for representative samples were controled at 0, 1, 3, 5 and 10 kGy. PSL values for non-irradiated samples were <700 counts/60s (lower threshold, $T_1$) except beef seasoning, whereas those of irradiated samples were more than 5,000 photon counts, upper threshold ($T_2$) in black pepper, raisin, and beef seasoning and intermediates values of $T_1-T_2$ in red pepper, walnut, and pistachio. Minerals seperated from the samples for TL measurement showed that non-irradiated samples except pistachio (TL ratio, 0.12) were characterized by no glow curves situated at temperature range of $50{\sim}400^{\circ}C$ with TL ratio (0.01~0.08), while irradiated samples except pistachio at only 1 kGy (TL ratio, 0.08) indicated glow curve at about $150{\sim}250^{\circ}C$ with TL ratio (0.28~3.10). ESR measurements of irradiated samples showed any specific signals to irradiation. The samples of both red pepper and pistachio were produced specific signals derived from cellulose radicals as well as single line signals for black pepper and walnut, and multiple signals derived from crystalline sugar radicals for raisin and beef seasoning. In conclusion, The ESR methods can apply for detection of pistachio exposed to electron beam but PSL and TL are not suitable methods. Furthermore, TL and ESR suggeted that both techniques were more useful detection method than PSL to confirm whether red pepper, walnut and beef seasoning samples have been exposed to electron beam.

The burnup profile of spent fuel should be determined accurately for the safety storage of spent fuel. In this study, a neutron detection system was developed as a part of basic research to analyze the burnup profile of spent fuel, and a performance was evaluated using a radiation source. The prototype of the neutron detection system was based on a ³He proportional chamber. The ³He proportional chamber is often used for neutron measurement and analysis because of its high neutron detection efficiency and simplicity for gamma ray rejection. For quantitative evaluation, tests were conducted using calibrated ²⁵²Cf and ¹³⁷Cs sources. In the performance evaluation, a field applicability was verified by analyzing the detection characteristics according to the nuclide.

In this study, a neural network model inspired by a one-dimensional convolution U-net is developed to automatically accelerate edge localized mode (ELM) detection from big diagnostic data of fusion devices and increase the detection accuracy regardless of the hyperparameter setting. This model recognizes the input signal patterns and overcomes the problems of existing detection algorithms, such as the prominence algorithm and those of differential methods with high sensitivity for the threshold and signal intensity. To train the model, 10 sets of discharge radiation data from the KSTAR are used and sliced into 11091 inputs of length 12 ms, of which 20% are used for validation. According to the receiver operating characteristic curves, our model shows a positive prediction rate and a true prediction rate of approximately 90% each, which is comparable to the best detection performance afforded by other algorithms using their optimized hyperparameters. The accurate and automatic ELM-burst detection methodology used in our model can be beneficial for determining plasma properties, such as the ELM frequency from big data measured in multiple experiments using machines from the KSTAR device and ITER. Additionally, it is applicable to feature detection in the time-series data of other engineering fields.

Underwater radiated noise is the key in acoustic stealth performance of modern naval ships. The underwater radiated noise predicted by the hull vibration with radiation efficiency cannot always give the information of radiation pattern which is essential to analyze of detection probability by enemy and to improve the operational performance of the naval ship. The radiation pattern of underwater radiated noise is able to be obtained with radiation efficiency and radiation directional coefficient. In this paper, a new method to extract the radiation efficiency and radiation directional coefficient is suggested and proved with the simulation and experiment by using cylindrical shell of 70 cm diameter in air.
