배플이 없는 폴리우레탄 유한 윈도우를 장착한 사각형 음향 센서의 수중 음향방사로 인한 자기방사 임피던스 (self-radiation impedance)의 컨덕턴스(conductance)와 서셉턴스(susceptance)를 실험으로 계측 하여 이를 전기적 등가회로를 이용하여 수중방사 임피던스 양을 계산하였다. 또한 무한배플(rigid infinite baffle)의 사각형 피스톤을 모델로 선정한 Levine식을 이용하여 음향방사로 인한 자기방사 임피던스를 적분식으로 표시하고 이것을 방사 저항과 방사 리액턴스로 분리하여 수치해석하였다. 실험의 경계조건과 비유적 유사한 이론해석 결과를 실험치와 비교하였다.

When the charged particle travels in transparent medium with a velocity greater than that of light in the same medium, the electromagnetic field close to the particle polarizes the medium along its path, and then the electrons in the atoms follow the waveform of the pulse which is called as Cerenkov light or radiation. This type of radiation can be easily observed in a spent fuel storage pit. In optical fibers, the Cerenkov light also can be generated due to their dielectric components. Accordingly, the radiation-induced light signals can be obtained using optical fibers without any scintillating material. In this study, to measure the intensities of Cerenkov radiation induced by gamma-rays, we have fabricated the fiber-optic Cerenkov radiation sensor system using silica optical fibers, plastic optical fibers, multi-anode photomultiplier tubes, simulated spent fuel assembly and a scanning system. To characterize the Cerenkov radiation generated in optical fibers, the intensities of Cerenkov radiation generated in the silica and plastic optical fibers were measured. Also, we measured the longitudinal distribution of gamma rays emitted from the Ir-192 isotope by using the fiber-optic Cerenkov radiation sensor system and simulated spent fuel assembly.

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.

본 논문에서는 위치추적과 방사선 측정이 가능한 일체형 방사선 피폭 방호 소방관 인명구조 경보기의 혼합형 센서부 개발을 제안한다. 방사선피폭선량을 측정하기 위하여 크기와 무게를 최소화 할 수 있는 반도체형 방사선 측정 센서인 PIN-Diode 방사선 측정 센서모듈을 사용한다. PIN-Diode 방식의 방사선 측정 센서 특성을 높이기 위하여 누설전류를 제거하기 위한 설계를 수행한다. IMU 센서모듈을 사용하여 3축에 대한 데이터와 가속도에 대한 수치를 합산하여 사고추정과 동시에 현재 소방관의 위치를 추정한다. 제안된 일체형 방사선 피폭 방호 소방관 인명구조 경보기를 위한 혼합형 센서부의 효율을 판단하기 위하여 공인시험기관에서 실험하였다. 누적선량 측정범위는 세계 최고 수준인 10μSv~10mSv 범위에서 측정이 되었다. 정확도는 ±6.3%~±9.0%(137Cs) 측정 불확도가 측정되어 국제 표준인 ±15% 이하에서 정상동작 됨이 확인되었다. 또한 위치정확성은 ±10% 이내로 측정되어 높은 수준의 결과가 도출되어 그 효용성이 입증되었다. 따라서 보다 많은 소방관에게 성능이 우수한 일체형 방사선 피폭 방호 소방관 인명구조 경보기 보급이 될 수 있으리라 기대된다.

방사선치료 분야에서는 치료의 안전성을 검증하기 위한 Quality Assurance(QA) 절차가 매우 중요하게 여겨진다. 그러나 일반적으로 이에 사용되는 선량계들의 다양한 문제점 때문에, 이를 대체하기 위한 선량계 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 형광체로부터 방출된 visible light(VL)에 의한 Sensitivity 극대화를 위해, 뛰어난 형광 효율을 가지는 형광체인 $Gd_2O_2S:Tb$를 요오드화납(Lead(II) Iodide; $PbI_2$)에 다양한 weight percent(wt%)로 혼합한 Blended hybrid sensor를 제작하였다. 이후 Blended sensor 및 Pure $PbI_2$ sensor의 고에너지 방사선에 대한 반응특성을 비교 및 평가하였다. 민감도 평가결과, 3wt%는 sensor에서 타 sensor들과 40% 이상 차이나는 최댓값이 나타났으며, 이를 제외한 센서에서 wt%의 증가에 따른 점차적 민감도 감소추세를 확인하였다. 또한, 재현성 평가에서는 Pure $PbI_2$ sensor가 coefficient of variation(CV)>0.015의 큰 편차를 보인 반면, blended sensor는 모두 CV<0.015 이하의 결과를 보였다.

Background: For positron emission tomography (PET) application, cadmium zinc telluride (CZT) has been investigated by several institutes to replace detectors from a conventional system using photomultipliers or Silicon-photomultipliers (SiPMs). The spatial and energy resolution in using CZT can be superior to current scintillator-based state-of-the-art PET detectors. CZT has been under development for several years at the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI) to provide a high performance gamma ray detection, which needs a single crystallinity, a good uniformity, a high stopping power, and a wide band gap. Materials and Methods: Before applying our own grown CZT detectors in the prototype PET system, we investigated preliminary research with a developed discrete type data acquisition (DAQ) system for coincident events at 128 anode pixels and two common cathodes of two CZT detectors from Redlen. Each detector has a $19.4{\times}19.4{\times}6mm^3$ volume size with a 2.2 mm anode pixel pitch. Discrete amplifiers consist of a preamplifier with a gain of $8mV{\cdot}fC^{-1}$ and noise of 55 equivalent noise charge (ENC), a $CR-RC^4$ shaping amplifier with a $5{\mu}s$ peak time, and an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) driver. The DAQ system has 65 mega-sample per second flash ADC, a self and external trigger, and a USB 3.0 interface. Results and Discussion: Characteristics such as the current-to-voltage curve, energy resolution, and electron mobility life-time products for CZT detectors are investigated. In addition, preliminary results of gamma ray imaging using 511 keV of a $^{22}Na$ gamma ray source were obtained. Conclusion: In this study, the DAQ system with a CZT radiation sensor was successfully developed and a PET image was acquired by two sets of the developed DAQ system.

In this research, 3D position exploring system was developed to detect direction and position of radiation source by using two general CCD camera. This system consists of a radiation detection device, a controlling device, and a monitoring device. A radiation detection device is composed of a collimator, a scintillator, CCD sensor, and radiation shielding part. Incident radiation is firstly collimated with direction and converted into visual lights in a scintillator. The CCD sensor detect the converted visual light and send a signal as an image. This can explore a radiation source with direction and distance from geometrical structure of two sensors. From these information, the developed 3D position exploring system can provide 3D radiation source information. This research will be useful for managing and processing radioactive materials in remote.
