  • 최근, 개인방사선피폭선량평가에 관한 기술기준이 과학기술처에 의해 고시됨에 따라 국내에서도 개인선량계를 이용한 체외피폭선량평가결과의 신뢰성 문제가 크게 대두되고 있다. 한국원자력연구소에서는 이러한 국내의 상황을 인식하고 자체적인 신뢰성 확보를 위해 미국의 Oak Ridge국립연구소의 주관하에 개인피폭선량의 평가에 관한 국제상호비교검증시험(Personnel Dosimet Intercomparison Study ; PDIS)을 수행하였다. 비교검증시험에는 한국원자력연구소에서 사용하고 있는 Teledyne PB-3 열형광선량계가 사용되었으며 선량계산 알고리즘은 Teledyne PB-3 version 1.5-1989를 사용하였다. 본 연구에서는 지금까지 실시 된 PDIS의 결과를 요약하고 현재 PB-3 시스템의 개인선량평가성능에 대해 고찰하였으며, 선량평가절차에 대한 문제점 도출을 통하여 직업적 방사선피폭선량 평가능력의 향상을 위한 방안을 제시하였다.

  • A radioactive isotope identification algorithm is a prerequisite for a low-resolution scintillation detector applied to an unmanned radiation monitoring system. In this paper, a sparse representation with dictionary learning approach is proposed and applied to plastic gamma-ray spectra. Label-consistent K-SVD was used to learn a discriminative dictionary for the spectra corresponding to a mixture of four isotopes (133Ba, 22Na, 137Cs, and 60Co). A Monte Carlo simulation was employed to produce the simulated data as learning samples. Experimental measurement was conducted to obtain practical spectra. After determining the hyper parameters, two dictionaries tailored to the learning samples were tested by varying with the source position and the measurement time. They achieved average accuracies of 97.6% and 98.0% for all testing spectra. The average accuracy of each dictionary was above 96% for spectra measured over 2 s. They also showed acceptable performance when the spectra were artificially shifted. Thus, the proposed method could be useful for identifying radioisotopes in gamma-ray spectra from a plastic scintillation detector even when a dictionary is adapted to only simulated data. Furthermore, owing to the outstanding properties of sparse representation, the proposed approach can easily be built into an insitu monitoring system.

  • 최근 포괄적 핵실험금지조약 (Comprehensive Test Ban Traety : CTBT)의 체결은 전세계적으로 핵활동 감시 네트워크를 구축하는 것이다. 핵실험금지 위원회의 전문가들은 대기 방사성핵종의 측정을 핵실험 감시에 필수적인 요소로 제안하였으며, 이에 따른 기술적 요구사항을 제시하였다. 본 연구는 이를 근거로 핵활동으로부터 생성된 핵분열생성물을 검출하기 위하여 고성능 공기채집장치(High Volume Air Sampler: HVAS)와 여과지 압축기 그리고 고순도 게르마늄 반도체검출기(HPGe)로 대기 입자 방사성핵종 측정시스템을 구성하였다. 조속한 시일 내에 탐지와 최적의 측정 조건으로 본 시스템을 운영하기 위하여 CTBT 감시 전략에서 주요 핵종들에 대한 최소검출 방사능 농도(Minimum Detectable Concentration : MDC)를 decay time, counting time 그리고 sampler volumetric flow rate 등을 고려하여 결정하였다. 그 결과 각각 $10{\pm}$2h, $20{\pm}$2h, $850{\pm}50m^3$//h 정도로 선정하였다. 감마선 스펙트럼 분석에서 $^{212}Pb$ 방사능 농도의 변화는 Compton continuum의 baseline에 영향을 미치게 되므로 이에 기인한 MDC 관계식을 도출하였다. 이들 결과는 CTBT 감시 전략에 실제적인 도구로 사용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

  • ICRP-60의 방사선방호 신개념이 국내 법령에 도입됨에 따라 원전 방사성유출물 관리의 변경이 불가피한 실정이다. 방사성유출물 관리의 중요한 요소 중의 하나가 원전 방사선감시계통(Radiation Monitoring System)의 적절한 운용이다. RMS는 원자력법에 명시되어 있는 일반인의 선량한도와 배출관리기준을 만족하도록 운용되어야 한다. 방사성유출물을 제한하는 기준에 따른 RMS 경보설정치의 비교ㆍ분석을 통해 국내 원전에 적용 가능한 최적의 개선방안을 제시할 수 있다. 본 논문에선 선량한도 기준 중 가능한 모든 피폭경로를 고려하여 예상선량률을 계산한 선행 RMS 경보설정 개선방안과의 비교를 위해 주요 피폭경로만 고려하는 선량환산인자에 의한 예상선량률 계산과 RMS 경보설정 개선방안을 조사하였다.

  • Marine radioactivity monitoring is critical for taking immediate action in case of unexpected nuclear accidents at nuclear facilities located near coastal areas. Especially when the level of contamination is not predictable, mobile monitoring systems will be useful for wide-area ocean radiation survey and for determination of the level of radioactivity. Here, we used a silicon photomultiplier and a high-efficiency GAGG crystal to fabricate a compact, battery-powered gamma spectroscopy that can be used in an ocean environment. The developed spectroscopy has compact dimensions of 6.5 × 6.5× 8 cm3 and weighs 560 g. We used LoRa, a low-power wireless protocol for communication. Successful data transmission was achieved within 1.4 m water depth. The developed gamma spectroscopy was able to detect radioactivity from a 137Cs point source (3.7 kBq) at a distance of 20 cm in water. Moreover, we demonstrated an unmanned radioactivity monitoring system in a real sea by combining unmanned surface vehicle with the developed gamma spectroscopy. A hidden 137Cs source (3.07 MBq) was detected by the unmanned system at a distance of 3 m. After successfully testing the developed mobile spectroscopy in an ocean environment, we believe that our proposed system will be an effective solution for mobile real-time marine radioactivity monitoring.

  • A long-term structural health monitoring (SHM) system comprising over 700 sensors of sixteen types has been implemented on the Guangzhou Television and Sightseeing Tower (GTST) of 610 m high for real-time monitoring of the structure at both construction and service stages. As part of this sophisticated SHM system, 48 temperature sensors have been deployed at 12 cross-sections of the reinforced concrete inner structure of the GTST to provide on-line monitoring via a wireless data transmission system. In this paper, the differential temperature profiles in the reinforced concrete inner structure of the GTST, which are mainly caused by solar radiation, are recognized from the monitoring data with the purpose of understanding the temperature-induced structural internal forces and deformations. After a careful examination of the pre-classified temperature measurement data obtained under sunny days and non-sunny days, common characteristic of the daily temperature variation is observed from the data acquired in sunny days. Making use of 60-day temperature measurement data obtained in sunny days, statistical patterns of the daily rising temperature and daily descending temperature are synthesized, and temperature distribution models of the reinforced concrete inner structure of the GTST are formulated using linear regression analysis. The developed monitoring-based temperature distribution models will serve as a reliable input for numerical prediction of the temperature-induced deformations and provide a robust basis to facilitate the design and construction of similar structures in consideration of thermal effects.

  • To investigate monitoring unit (MU) efficiency and plan quality of volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) using flattening-filter free (FFF) photon beam in association with target size and location. A virtual patient was generated in Eclipse$^{TM}$ (ver. A10, Varian Medical Systems, Palo Alto, USA) treatment planning system. The length of major and minor axis in axial view was 50 cm and 30 cm, respectively. Cylindrical-shaped targets were generated inside that patient at the center (symmetric target) and in the periphery (asymmetric target, 7.5 cm away from the center of the patient to the right direction) of the virtual patient. The longitudinal length was 10 cm and the diameters were 2, 5, 10 and 15 cm. Total 8 targets were generated. RapidArc$^{TM}$ plans using TrueBeam STx$^{TM}$ were generated for each target. Two full arcs were used and the axis of rotation of the gantry was set to be at the center of the virtual patient. Total MU, homogeneity index (HI), target mean dose, the value of gradient measure and body mean dose were calculated. In the case of symmetric targets, averaged total MU of FFF plan was 23% and 19% higher than that of flattening filter (FF) plan when using 6 MV and 10 MV photons, respectively. The difference of HI, target mean dose, gradient measure and body mean dose between FF and FFF was less than 0.04, 2.6%, 0.1 cm and 2.2%, respectively. For the asymmetric targets, total MU of FFF plan was 21% and 32% was higher than that of FF when using 6 MV and 10 MV photons, respectively. The homogeneity of the target was always worse when using FFF than using FF. The maximum difference of HI was 0.22. The target mean dose of FFF was 3.2% and 4.1% higher than that of FF for the 6 MV and 10 MV, respectively. The difference of gradient measure was less than 0.1 cm. The body mean dose was higher when using FFF than FF about 4.2% and 2.8% for the 6 MV and 10 MV, respectively. No significant differences between VMAT plans of FFF beam and FF beam were observed in terms of quality of treatment plan. The HI was higher when using FFF 10 MV photons for the asymmetric targets. The MU was increased noticeably when using FFF photon beams.

  • 본 논문에서는 새로운 해양 방사선 자동 감시 시스템을 제안한다. 제안하는 시스템은 다음과 같은 특징들을 가진다. 첫 번째로 NaI + PVT 혼합형 검출기를 사용함으로 반응속도가 빠르고 정밀분석이 가능하다. 두 번째로 섬광체형 센서에 온도보상 알고리즘을 적용함으로서 추가적인 냉각장치가 필요 없으며 시시각각 변화하는 해양환경에 안정적인 운영이 가능하다. 세 번째로 냉각장치가 필요 없으므로 전력소비량이 적어 태양열을 활용하여 전력의 안정적인 공급이 가능하므로 해양환경 관측부이에 설치 가능하다. 네 번째로 GPS 및 무선통신을 사용하여 측정지역에 대한 정확한 위치정보와 실시간 데이터 전송기능으로 주변국 등의 원전사고 등 발생 시 즉각적인 경보대응이 가능하다. 제안된 시스템의 성능을 평가하기 위하여 공인시험기관에서 실험한 결과는 방사선 측정범위는 세계 최고 수준인 $5{\mu}Sv/h{\sim}15mSv/h$의 범위에서 측정이 되었고, 정확도는 ${\pm}8.1%$의 측정 불확도가 측정되어 국제 표준인 ${\pm}15%$ 이하에서 정상동작 됨이 확인되었다. 내환경등급(방수)은 IP67을 달성하였고, $-20{\sim}50^{\circ}C$ 동작온도에서 5% 이내로 변동률이 측정되어서 안정성이 확인되었다. 진동시험 후 측정값 변화율이 10% 이내로 측정되어서, 파도에 의한 해양환경에서 진동으로 인한 측정값의 변화가 없을 것으로 확인되었다.
