The purpose of this study is to compare and analyze the effect of type and volume fraction of fiber on the electrical conductivity and shielding effectiveness of cementitious composites. The large specific surface area of amorphous metallic fiber, as well as the high number of fibers per unit weight, provided an advantage in the formation of conductive path. As the result, the electrical conductivity of amorphous metallic fiber was evaluated to be higher, and the shielding effectiveness was also higher. However, the shielding effectiveness according to electrical conductivity was confirmed to have a threshold point, and further research is needed to improve it.

핵의학과에서 가장 많이 사용되는 ^99mTc를 점선원과 산란팬텀을 이용하여 에너지스펙트럼 변화를 분석하고 변화된 감마선 에너지에 따른 납 앞치마의 차폐효과를 평가하였다. 산란팬텀의 감마선 에너지 스펙트럼은 점선원보다 광전피크 영역은 감소하고 컴프턴 산란영역은 증가하였다. 감마선원 형태 변화에 따른 에너지 영역별 계수치는 점선원의 계수치보다 20 cm 거리에서 최대 66.1 %의 감소율을 보였으며 컴프턴 산란 영역에서는 산란팬텀의의 계수치가 점선원의 계수치보다 최대 40 cm 거리에서 122.2 % 증가하는 결과를 보였다. 감마카메라를 이용한 선원과 산란팬텀의 거리에 따른 차폐율 차이에서 광전피크 영역은 유사한 결과를 보였으나 컴프턴 산란영역에서는 20 cm거리에서 산란팬텀의 차폐율이 점선원의 차폐율보다 29.2% 증가하였으며 거리가 증가함에 따라 차폐율 차이는 감소하였다. 방사선 선량계를 이용한 납 앞치마 차폐율 측정에서 산란팬텀의 차폐율은 최대 15.3 %의 차이를 보였으며 거리가 증가할수록 두 선원의 차폐율 차이는 감소하였다. 산란팬텀의 납 앞치마 차폐율이 점선원보다 높고 선원과 가까운 거리일수록 납 앞치마의 효과는 증가하는 결과로 방사성의약품을 주입한 환자를 직접 대면할 때 납 앞치마의 착용은 방사선피폭 저감화에 도움이 될 것으로 판단된다.

Bone mineral density is a examination to measure the amount of bone in patients with metabolic bone disease. It is a low dose, but may cause unnecessary exposure to the gonads and other organs located in the periphery when examining the lumbar and proximal femurs. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to evaluated the exposure dose for each organ exposed during the bone mineral density through simulation, and analyzed the applicability of the subject to radiation shielding devices using 3D printing materials. As a result, the highest dose was shown at 11.47 uSv in the breast during lumbar examination and 8.98 uSv in the testis during proximal femur examination. Also, the farther away from the examination site, the lower the effect of the scattering-ray. The shielding effect of using 3D printing shielding device showed high results in proportion to the effective atomic number and specific gravity of the printing material. Among the printing materials, ABS + W showed an effect of at least 78.72 to 96.3 9% compared to the existing lead material.

의료기관 내 핵의학 종사자는 방사성동위원소 취급 시 사용하는 선원의 종류, 방사능량, 차폐기구의 사용 여부에 따라 종사자 개인별로 광범위한 피폭선량을 나타낼 수 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 몬테카를로 기법을 기반으로 한 모의실험을 통해 진단용 방사선원 취급 시 종사자의 장기별 선량평가와 L-block 차폐기구 사용에 따른 선량감소효과를 분석하였다. 그 결과, 방사선원의 취급 위치에 근접할수록 높은 장기선량 분포를 나타내었고, ICRP 조직가중치에 따라 유효선량 분포가 상이한 양상을 보였다. 또한 L-block 두께에 따른 선량감소효과는 차폐두께 증가에 따라 지수함수 분포로 감소되는 경향을 나타내었으며, 방사선원별 선량감소효과는 방출하는 감마선 에너지에 비례하여 낮은 차폐효과를 보였다.

The objective of this study was to conduct a radiation shielding analysis for the facility equipped with radiation generator. The analysis was carried out in two aspects. First, from the aspect of the effect caused by primary and leakage radiation. Second, effect of scattered radiation was evaluated by applying a simple calculation method based on a scattering rate concept since effect of scattered radiation is significantly important at maze entrance of the radiation facility. The calculated results obtained using the simple method were compared to the results calculated using Geant4 code and the measured values. The results calculated by the suggested method indicate that slight error exists in a radiation shielding analysis done at the maze entrance comparing to other two results, while the results evaluated at the outside of the maze entrance door are relatively consistent with other values.

Radiation generating devices must be properly shielded for their safe application. Although institutes such as US National Bureau of Standards and National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP) have provided guidelines for shielding X-ray tube of various purposes, industry people tend to rely on 'Half Value Layer (HVL) method' which requires relatively simple calculation compared to the case of those guidelines. The method is based on the fact that the intensity, dose, and air kerma of narrow beam incident on shielding wall decreases by about half as the beam penetrates the HVL thickness of the wall. One can adjust shielding wall thickness to satisfy outside wall dose or air kerma requirements with this calculation. However, this may not always be the case because 1) The strict definition of HVL deals with only Intensity, 2) The situation is different when the beam is not 'narrow'; the beam quality inside the wall is distorted and related changes on outside wall dose or air kerma such as buildup effect occurs. Therefore, sometimes more careful research should be done in order to verify the effect of shielding specific radiation generating device. High energy X-ray tubes which is operated at the voltage above 400 kV that are used for 'heavy' nondestructive inspection is an example. People have less experience in running and shielding such device than in the case of widely-used low energy X-ray tubes operated at the voltage below 300 kV. In this study, Air Kerma value per week, outside concrete shielding wall of various thickness surrounding 450 kVp X-ray tube were calculated using MCNP simulation with the aid of Geometry Splitting method which is a famous Variance Reduction technique. The comparison between simulated result, HVL method result, and NCRP Report 147 safety goal $0.02mGy\;wk^{-1}$ on Air Kerma for the place where the public are free to pass showed that concrete wall of thickness 80 cm is needed to achieve the safety goal. Essentially same result was obtained from the application of HVL method except that it suggest the need of additional 5 cm concrete wall thickness. Therefore, employing the result from HVL method calculation as an conservative upper limit of concrete shielding wall thickness was found to be useful; It would be easy, economic, and reasonable way to set shielding wall thickness.

최근 인터벤션의 중요성이 증가한 만큼 시술을 수행하는 의료진의 건강에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 기존의 방사선 차폐 기구는 시술자의 동선을 제한하고 감염의 위험으로 인해 적절하게 사용되지 못했으며 시술자의 생식선과 나아가 시술실 전체 영역의 적절한 방사선 차폐가 이루어지지 못했다. 시술 시 사용되는 팔꿈치 지지대에 차폐체(bismuth)를 부착하여 보조 차폐 기구를 제작하였고 방사선 차폐 효과를 측정하였다. 측정 결과, 평균 공간 선량률이 약 64.8% 감소하였으며 독립표본 T검정 분석 결과 유의확률 이하(p<0.05)로 통계학적으로 유의미하게 나타났다. 보조 차폐 기구의 사용은 시술자의 생식선 차폐 및 시술실 전체 영역의 방사선 공간 선량률을 감소시킬 수 있는 효과적인 차폐 방법으로 사료된다.

In the radiation protection application, the metal-polymer composites have been developed for their radiation shielding properties. In this research, the elastomer composites doped by 10 ㎛ and 100nm size of lead, bismuth and tungsten particles as filler with 30 and 60 wt percentages were prepared. To survey the shielding properties of the polymer composites using gamma-ray emitted from 152Eu and 137Cs sources, the gamma flux was measured by using NaI(Tl) detector, then the linear attenuation coefficient was calculated. Also, the Monte Carlo simulation (MCs) method was used. The results showed a direct relationship between the linear attenuation coefficients of the absorbent and filler ratio. Also, the decrease in the particle size of the shielding material in each weight percentage improved the radiation shielding features. When the dimension of the particles was in the order of nano-size, more attenuation was achieved. At low energies used for medical diagnostic X-ray applications due to the predominance of the photoelectric effect, bismuth and lead were suitable selection as filler.

This work reported the radiation shielding characteristic of the bismuth titanium vanadium sodium tellurite glass system. The density of the specially-developed glass samples was increased from 2.21 to 4.01 g/cm³ with the addition of Bi₂O₃, despite the fact the molar volume is decease within 85.43-54.79 cm³/mol. The WinXcom program was used to approximate the effect of Bi₂O₃ on the gamma radiation shielding parameters of bismuth titanium vanadium sodium tellurite glasses. The ㎛ values decrease with the increase of Bi₂O₃ concentration. The computed data shows that the glass sample with 20 mol.% of Bi₂O₃ content has the greatest radiation attenuation performance in comparison to other selected glasses. The Bi₂O₃-TiO₂-V₂O₅-Na₂O-TeO₂ glass system shows excellent neutron shielding material with high long-term light transmittance and discharge resistance and could be potentially used as transparent radiation-resistant shielding glass applications.
