극저준위 방사성액체폐기물 처리를 위하여 공기의 온도와 습도 및 유입 공기의 속도에 따른 증발량의 관계를 천을 이용한 강제증발실험 장치로 실험하였다. 그 결과 각각의 변수와 증발량의 상관관계를 실험식으로 도출하였다. 또한 Cs-137 을 함유한 모의폐액을 사용하여 본 장치에 대한 제염 계수를 얻은 결과 $DF=10^4$으로 나타났다. TRlGA Mark II & III 연구용 원자로 폐로시 발생되는 극저준위 방사성액체폐기물을 증발장치로 처리할 때 주변의 일반개인에 대한 연간 피폭선량을 보수적으로 평가한 결과, 유효선량 (effective dose)은 $1.01{\times}10^{-3}mSv$이고, 환경으로 배출되는 공기의 방사능 농도(Cs-137)는 $4.637{\times}10^{-14}\;{\mu}Ci/cc$ air 이다. 따라서 극저준위 방사성액체폐기물의 처리를 위하여 강제증발장치를 사용하는 것은 주민에 아무런 영향이 없음을 알 수 있었다.

방사성 $^{38}$ CL로 표지된 유기 하로겐 화합물의 제조방법을 가려내기 위하여서 Phenyl halides(7종), thloro nitrobenzene(6종), Chloro nitroanisole(2종), Chloro aniline (3종), Chloro anisidine(3종), Chloro toluene(3종), Benzyl chloride 유도체(4종) 및 기타 대조 화합물 3종 등을 원자로 내에서 조사하고 생성물을 알카리 수용액으로 주출하고 각각의 무기 $^{38}$ CL 수율을 조사시간 별로 검토하였다. 그 결과 화합물의 구조 보다도 표적물의 상태에 따라서 무기물 수율에 변화가 있고 고체상의 표적물의 경우에는 수율이 일반적으로 얕고 변화가 고르다는 것을 화인 하였다. 화학구조에 따르는 무기 $^{38}$ CL0의 생성수율의 감소는 현재까지의 결과로 보아서 Phenyl chlorides$^{38}$ CL 수율간에 Linear relationship가 있었으며 염소원자수가 많을수록 그 수율이 얕았다. 실험 결과를 논의하였으며 교지 반응에 대한 본 실험 결과의 응용성가능 여부를 고찰하였다.

This study was performed to investigate the morphological and structural changes of bone tissues and the effects of irradiation on the mandibular bodies of rats which were fed low calcium diets. In order to carry out this experiment, 160 seven-week old Sprague-Dawley strain rats weighing about 150 gm were selected and equally divided into one normal diet group of 80 rats and one low calcium diet group with the remainder. These groups were then subdivided into two groups, 40 were assigned rats for each subdivided group, exposed to radiation. The Group 1 was composed of forty non-irradiated rats with normal diet, Group 2 of forty irradiated rats with normal diet, Group 3 forty non-irradiated rats with low calcium diet, and Group 4 forty irradiated rats with low calcium diet. The two irradiation groups received a single dose of 20 Gy on the jaw area only and irradiated with a cobalt-50 teletherapy unit. The rats with normal and low calcium diet groups were serially terminated by ten on the 3rd, the 7th, the 14th, and the 21st day after irradiation. After termination, both sides of the dead rats mandible were removed and fixed with 10% neutral formalin. The bone density of mandibular body was measured by use of bone mineral densitometer(Model DPX -alpha, Lunar Corp., U.SA). Triga Mark ill nuclear reactor in Korea Atomic Research Institute was used for neutron activation and then calcium contents of mandibular body were measured by using a 4096 multichannel analyzer (EG and G ORTEC 919 MCA, U.SA). Also the mandibular body was radiographed with a soft X-ray apparatus(Hitex Co., Ltd., Japan). Thereafter, the obtained microradiograms were observed by a light microscope and were used for the morphometric analysis using a image analyzer(Leco 2001 System, Leco Co., Canada). The morphometric analysis was performed for parameters such as the total area, the bone area, the inner and outer perimeters of the bone. The obtained results were as follows: 1. In the morphometric analysis, total area and outer perimeter of the mandibular bodies of Group 3 were a little smaller than that of Group 1. The mean bone width and bone area were much smaller than that of Group 1 and the inner perimeter of Group 3 was much longer than that of Group 1. The total area and outer perimeter of Group 2 and Group 4 showed little difference. The mean bone width and bone area of Group 4 were smaller than that of Group 2 and the inner perimeter of Group 4 was longer than that of Group 2. 2. The remarkable decreases of the number and thickness of trabeculae and also the resorption of endosteal surface of cortical bone could be seen in the microradiogram of Group 3, Group 4 since the 3rd day of experiment. On the 21st day of experiment, the above findings could be more clearly seen in Group 4 than in Group 3. 3. The bone mineral density of Group 3 was lesser than that of Group 1 and the bone mineral density of Group 4 was lesser than that of Group 2 on the 7th, 14th, 21st days. The irradiation caused the bone mineral density to be decreased regardless of diet. In the case of Groups with low calcium diet, the bone mineral density was much decreased on the 21st day than on the 3rd day of experiment. 4. The calcium content in mandible of Group 3 was smaller than that of Group 1 throughout the experiment. roup 4 showed the least amount of calcium content. The irradiation caused the calcium content to be decreased regardless of diet. In the case of Groups with low calcium diet, the calcium content was much decreased on the 21st day than on the 3rd day of experiment. In conclusion, the present study demonstrated that morphological changs and decrease of bone mass due to resorption of bone by low calcium diet, and that the resorption of bone could be found in the spongeous bone and endosteal surface of cortical bone. So the problem of resorption of bone must be considered when the old and the postmenopausal women are taken radiotherapy because the irradiation seems to be accelerated the resorption of osteoporotic bone.
