To evaluate heat environment surrounding plants diurnal change of leaf temperature in the broad-leaved deciduous and evergreen trees was measured with microclimatic environmental factors including global solar radiation, and upward and downward long wave radiation. Maximum daily solar radiation was 961.2 and 976.3 w/$m^2$ in August 9 and 23, respectively. Upward long wave radiation was slightly higher than downward long wave radiation, showing 404.2 w/$m^2$ in August 9 and 394.5 w/$m^2$ in August 23. In addition, daily maximum vapor pressure deficit was 5.42 and 6.84 kPa in August 9 and 23, respectively, indicating high evaporative demand. Quercus glauca and Acer mono was differently responded to changing light regimes. On August 9, leaf temperature at the top-positioned leaves of Acer plants was higher than air temperature as well as those of Quercus plants in the morning. This indicates that stomata in Acer plants were closed by heat stress or water stress in the morning, while Quercus plant maintained active transpiration by opening stomata. These results indicated that improved light regimes such as gap opening in the closed forest may not always affect positively in the physiology of understory plants.

우리나라의 환경특성에 적합한 섭식경로 내부피폭 해석코드를 확립하기 위한 준비과정으로서 FOOD III 코드를 부분적으로 보완하여 한국 성인 남자에 대한 선량평가 결과를 보완전의 결과와 비교하고 앞으로의 개선방안을 논의 하였다. 평가예제로는 1984년도 고리 원전 1호기에서의 Mn-54, Co-58, Co-60, I-131, I-132의 방출량 자료와 부지경계선상 대기확산인자(X/Q)의 최대값을 사용하였다. 보완된 코드로 계산한 결과, 장기별 선량은 보완 전에 비해 $20{\sim}70%$ 정도 낮아졌으며 예탁실효선량당량은 ICRP 제한치의 0.16%인 $7.935{\times}10^{-6}Sv/y$로 계산되어 보완전의 $1.32{\times}10^{-5}Sv/y$에 비해 40% 정도 낮게 평가되었다.

One-layer solar radiation(GWNU; Gangneung-Wonju National University) model is developed in order to resolve the lack of vertical observations and fast calculation with high resolution. GWNU model is based on IQBAL(Iqbal, 1983) and NREL(National Renewable Energy Laboratory) methods and corrected by precise multi-layer LBL(Line-by-line) model. Input data were used 42 atmospheric profiles from Garand et al.(2001) for calculation of global radiation by the Multi-layer and one-layer solar radiation models. GWNU model has error of about -0.10% compared with LBL model while IQBAL and NREL models have errors of about -3.92 and -2.57%, respectively. Global solar radiation was calculated by corrected GWNU solar model with satellites(MODIS, OMI and MTSAT-1R), RDPS model prediction data in Korea peninsula in 2009, and the results were compared to surface solar radiation observed by 22 KMA solar sites. All models have correlation($R^2$) of 0.91 with the observed hourly solar radiation, and root mean square errors of IQBAL, NREL and GWNU models are 69.16, 69.74 and $67.53W/m^2$, respectively.

국내의 경우 방사선작업종사자의 개인피폭관리는 선량한도를 초과한 피폭의 유무를 확인하여 사후 조치를 취하는 것에 초점이 맞추어져 있다. 그러나 의료기관 핵의학과의 경우 개봉선원을 사용하므로 작업환경이 방사선에 노출될 가능성이 많고, 방사성의약품 투여 후 수 시간 혹은 수 일 동안은 환자 자체가 방사선원이 되므로 방사선작업종사자나 수시출입자, 환자보호자들의 방사선 피폭 가능성이 매우 높다. 따라서 환자보호자 등 일반출입자의 방사선피폭을 방지하기 위해서는 환경방사선관리가 적절하게 실시되어야 한다. 일본에서는 "방사성동위원소등에 의한 방사선장해의 방지에 관한 법률" 등에 근거하여 방사선작업환경에 대한 환경방사선량을 정기적으로 측정, 보관하도록 하고 있다. 이에 대전시 소재 대학병원 핵의학과에서 일본에서 시행하고 있는 것과 같은 방법으로 핵의학과 내 8개소에 유리선량계를 설치하여 환경방사선을 측정한 결과 8개소 모두 "진단용 방사선 발생장치의 안전관리에 관한 규칙"에 규정된 방사선구역의 외부방사선량인 주당 0.3 mSv에는 훨씬 미치지 못하는 적은 선량이 측정되었다. 그러나 접수대에서는 3개월 누계 선량률이 0.51 mSv로서 접수대 종사자는 일반인 연간 유효선량한도인 1 mSv를 초과할 가능성이 높았으며, 환자 및 보호자 대기실에서도 0.23 mSv(3개월 누계치 0.69mSv)가 측정되어 유리선량계를 설치한 8개소 가운데 가장 높은 선량률을 보였다. 이것은 일반인의 연간 유효선량한도인 1 mSv를 초과하는 값이며, "방사선방호 등에 관한 기준 고시"에 환경상 위해방지를 위해 규정된 연간 유효선량 0.25 mSv를 초과하는 값이다. 따라서 접수대 근무자, 환자보호자 및 제3자 보호를 위해 핵의학과 내 환경방사선량 감소를 위한 적극적인 대책이 필요한 것으로 나타났다.

In order to protect inhabitans' health and to collect data for prediction of the effcts from accidental emission of rasioactive materials from nuclear power plant, exposed dose rate be monitored within the limit dose rate. This research was carried out to investigate the accumulation of environmental radioactivity around Younggwang Nuclear Power Plant, and to infer and in infer and assay the additional exposed dose rate of inhabitants in Younggwang site from the operation of nuclear plant operation. External radiation dose rate, radiation environmental samples, and exposed dose rate of inhabitants in Younggwang site were investigated for estimaing environment activity in the vicinity of the nuclear power plant area. For the external radiation dose rate, the result showed that range of normal variation was found and any artificial radioisotope was not deteted in the analysis of environmental samples. Exposed dose rate of inhabitants was lower than 0.4% of the limit value of ICRP and it may be concluded that there was no effect on inhabitants and environment from the operation of nuclear power plant.

During the past 2 decades, radiation tumorigenesis researchers have focused on cellular and molecular mechanisms. We reviewed some of these research fields, since they may specifically relate to the induction of cancer by ionizing radiation. First, radiation-mediated mutation was discussed. Then the initiating event in radiation carcinogenesis, as well as other genetic events that may by involved, is discussed in terms of the possible role of the activation of genes and the loss of cell-cycle checkpoints.

D-(+)-glucose (Glc) was added to the original Fricke polyvinyl alcohol-glutaraldehyde-xylenol orange (FPGX) hydrogel dosimeter system to make a more stable FPGX hydrogel three-dimensional dosimeter in this paper. Polyvinyl alcohol was used as a substrate, which was combined with Fricke solution. Various concentrations of Glc were tested with linear relevant fitting for optimal hydrogel production conditions. The effects of various formulations on the stability and sensitivity of dosimeters were evaluated. The results indicated that D-(+)-Glc, as a free radical scavenger, had a great effect on stabilizing the dose response related to absorbency and reducing the auto-oxidization of ferrous ions. A careful doping with Glc could slow down the color change of the dosimeter before and after radiation without any effect on the sensitivity of the dosimeter.

방사선 안전과 관련된 추가적인 정책을 수립 운영하기 위해서는 안전현황에 대한 기초적인 자료가 필요한데, 계량적인 관점에서 현황을 고찰한 연구는 많지 않다. 이에 본 연구에서는 방사선 안전과 관련된 영역 중, 방사선작업종사자, 생활 주변방사선 그리고 환경방사선 현황을 중심으로 다양한 통계적인 방법을 활용하여 계량적인 측면에서 고찰하였으며. 그 결과 다음을 알 수 있었다. 첫째, 2014년도 말 기준으로 9개 업종에 종사하는 방사선작업종사자 중 피폭선량이 가장 높은 업종은 NDT로서 다른 업종에 비하여 유의적으로 높게 나타났다. 둘째, 9개 업종의 방사선작업종사자에 대한 2010년 대비 2014년 피폭선량의 평균차이가 유의수준 5%에서 통계적으로 유의하지는 않은 것(p=0.221)으로 나타났다. 셋째, 전라북도 지역에 비하여 경기도 지역의 환경방사선량의 평균이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 결과는 향후 방사선작업종사자, 생활주변방사선, 환경방사선 관련 안전관리를 위한 기초자료로의 활용 및 방사선방호정책의 수립에 도움이 되기를 기대해 본다.

Since solar radiation contains wavelength essential for photosynthesis accompanying with near-UV light, UV-B effects on biological parameters and acclimation mechanisms are influenced by photosynthetically active radiation (PAR). Therefore, to elucidate near-UV shielding mechanism in higher plants, we cultivated cauliflower under usual solar radiation and increased UV-B from fluorescent lamps, two- or three-fold excess over continuously estimated UV-B dose in PAR during daytime, using computer regulated systems. Increased UV-B radiation had little effect on growth expressed as fresh weigh and leaf area. Water soluble low molecular weight compounds showing absorption in near UV region were enhanced according to the irradiated UV-B dose. One of compounds in cauliflower leaves was identified as chlorogenic acid. This was found to have no near-UV photosenSitizerable activity and is known to have an ability to scavenge a wide species of active oxygen. Another pro-oxidant compound that generates superoxide anion radical under near-UV irradiation was not induced by increased UV-B during cultivation, and identified as lumazine, a degradation product from folic acid.
