  • Using beam data and accurate 3D dose model, a study of the spatial dose distribution for various arcs was carried out. The dose dirstibution generated by the accurate dose model could be represented by a simple approximate analytic form which is convenient and very efficient for calculating dose distribution iteratively in the optimization procedure. We developed an empirical cylindrical dose model to compute dose for one full rotational arc or partial rotational arc. After a tedious search for fits to a collection of 200 points of accurate dose data, we found simple formular with 7 parameters search. As a consequence, the programs required approximately less than 1 second to compute dose for one single arc on a 20 by 20 matrix (400 points) using fast approximate dose model. In conclusion the fast approximate dose model give dose distributions similar to the accurate dose model, which makes this fast dose model an attractive alternative to the accurate 3D dose model.

  • The oxidizing species are generated from the radiolysis of groundwater in the pore of buffer material around the canister used for the disposal of spent fuels. A mathematical model was introduced to calculate the cathodic current density induced by the oxidant around the canister, which determined the corrosion of carbon steel. An analytical solution was derived to get the cathodic current density in the cylindrical coordinate. The cathodic current densities from both the rectangular coordinate and cylindrical coordinate were compared with each other. The source terms and absorbed dose rate for the calculation of the radiolysis were calculated using the ORIGEN2 and MCNP computer code, respectively. The radius of the canister was determined with the new model in order to prevent the local corrosion. The results showed that the new solution made the cathodic current density around 25 % lower than the Marsh model.

  • A test code was written to apply the EGS5 Monte Carlo code recently published to radiotherapy. This test code was designed to calculate the depth dose in cylindrical phantom for point source model. The evaluation of the test code was peformed by calculating the depth dose curves for high energy electrons of 5, 9, 12, and 15 MeV photons of Co-60 and 10 MV in water and comparing the results with DOSRZ/EGS4 results. In depth dose results, the differences between test code and DOSRZ/EGS4 were estimated to be less then ${\pm}1.5%\;and\;{\pm}3.0%$ approximately for electron and photon beams respectively.

  • Cylindrical shape extrudates of calcium silicate hydrate (CSH) were prepared using different percentages of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) / sodium alginate (SA) mixtures as binders and an aqueous solution containing 6% $H_3BO_3$ and 3% $CaCl_2$ was used as a cross linking agent. As the quantity of alginate increases, the phosphate removal efficiency and capacity were decreased. Among four different extrudate samples, the sample prepared by 8% PVA + 2% SA showed the highest phosphate removal efficiency (59.59%) and capacity (29.97 mg/g) at an initial phosphate concentration of 100 ppm and 2.0 g/L adsorbent dosage. Effects of the adsorbent dosage, contact time and initial phosphate concentration on the sample were further studied. The removal efficiency and capacity obtained by a 4.0 g/L adsorbent dose at an initial phosphate concentration of 100 ppm in 3 h were 79.38% and 19.96 mg/g, respectively. The experimental data of kinetic and isotherm measurements followed the pseudo-second-order kinetic equation and Langmuir isotherm model, respectively. These results suggested that the phosphate removal was processed via a chemisorption and a monolayer coverage of phosphate anions was on the CSH surface. The maximum adsorption capacity ($q_{max}$) was calculated as 23.87 mg/g from Langmuir isotherm model.

  • In order to investigate the electrical properties of Transformer Oils, Volume Resistivity for transformer oils was made researches. in this paper, the specimen was produced by irradiation of electron beam, which is divided by the dose, 12[Mrad], 24[Mrad], 36[Mrad]. By investigating the electrical properties of dielectric liquid due to the difference of electron beam irradiation the effect of electron beam irradiation was studied. To measure the physcial properties of transformer Oils, Fourier transfer infrared spectroscopy was investigated. And the study for the electrical properties of dielectric liquid was made by measuring volume resistivity of specimen. the Electrode for the measuring Volume resistivity is formed coaxial cylindrical shape, and its geometric capacitance is confirmed to 16[pF]. In this experiments, Highmegohm meter which is model VMG-1000, was used for the measuring volume resistivity. the applying voltages were DC 100, 250, 500, 1000[V] in the temperature range of 20∼120[$^{\circ}C$]. By means of the result from this experiment the movement of carrier and the physcial constants to contribute dielectric properties is introduced.

  • We developed a new method that the radiation field shape and intensity could be controlled automatically with a insertion of the liquid shielding material box having a rotatable model imitated the 3-dimensional target volume within. The molded box filled with the mercury was mounted to the tray. A acrylic model imitated the 3-dimensional target volume was fixed into the center of the interior of the box. Although the gentry rotate, the acrylic model can be returned to the original direction of the target due to the action of the gravity. The film measurements at the gantry rotation angle 0$^{\circ}$, 45$^{\circ}$, and 90$^{\circ}$, respectively were shown that the radiation intensities were modulated properly and the field shapes were conformed to the target. We verified the dose distribution for our method with a cylindrical acrylic phantom inserted a film within. In the case of the 8-field irradiation, the 80% isodose line was enclosed the target shape properly. This results show the realization of a new intensity-modulated radiation therapy(IMRT).
