Wind-speed has much effect on the dispersion of the radioactive effluents released into the atmosphere. Accurate measurement of low wind-speeds is very important for the realistic assessment of radiation exposure. The objective of this study is to analyze the effects of different calm conditions on the radiation exposure due to the normal operation of a nuclear facility at KAERI (Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute) site. When calm condition is changed from 0.5 m/sec to 0.21 m/sec, the effects on radiation exposure show a distinct difference.

In order to investigate low molecular antioxidants synthesized by enhanced UV-B radiation, we used the seedlings of two rice varieties. Woonjangbyeo, UV-tolerant, and Hwajoongbyeo, UV-susceptible, were subjected under supplemental UV-B irradiation. When rice seedlings were irradiated with UV light for short period, biosynthesis of total phenolic compound, ascorbate and glutathione were momently reduced. With an increase of UV-B radiation, however, those were slightly synthesized. The content of lipid peroxides in UV-challenged rice leaves was considerably increased after 12 hrs of UV-B treatment. Lipoxygenase activity under supplemental UV-B radiation was differently responded on rice varieties.

This study has investigated radiation degradation of low density polyethylene(LDPE). Samples were irradiated using a $Co^{60}\;\gamma-ray$ and ray up to 800 kGy at a dose rate of 5 kGy/hr in the presence of air atmosphere at room temperature. After irradiation, free radical measurement of LDPE has established by electron spin resonance(ESR). Then, each sample was stored for 2 weeks. ESR measurement showed that free radical concentration(FRC) was increased with radiation dose and changed from alkyl, allyl radical to peroxy radical with time.

Pleuropulmonary blastoma (PPB) is a rare intrathoracic neoplasm in children. Although surgery with or without chemotherapy mainly conducted, the response of radiotherapy (RT) has not been evaluated yet. For unresectable tumor, RT might be considered as one option to decrease tumor extent to relieve obstructing symptoms or to facilitate successive treatment. We report one child in whom PPB with DICER1 mutation recurred after surgery and lead to respiratory distress. She emergently received palliative RT with a relatively low dose (20 Gy), and symptoms sufficiently relieved. Even she showed an 84.3% reduction in diameter and maintained the remission status for 1 year. These might reflect possible radiosensitivity of PPB, and further investigations of RT might be necessary for unresectable PPB.

Skeletal metastases are common in patients suffering from various primary cancers. Radiopharmaceuticals are an effective option for bone pain palliation. In this work, the radiation absorbed dose of ¹⁷⁷Lu-EDTMP radiopharmaceutical was estimated for adult man based on biodistribution data in Wistar rats. The MIRD dose calculation method and the Sparks and Aydogan methodology were applied. The results shows that about 46% of injected activity is cumulated on the surface of the trabecular and cortical bones. Radiation absorbed doses of red bone marrow and osteogenic cells were estimated to about 1.1 and 6.2 mGy/MBq, respectively. The maximum administrated activity was obtained 27 MBq/kg of body weight with an effective dose of 0.23 mSv/MBq. The results were compared with other available data from literature. This study indicated that ¹⁷⁷Lu-EDTMP provides therapeutic efficacy for achieving bone pain palliation with low undesired dose to other normal organs.

This paper portrays the design and optimization of a wideband four element triangular dielectric resonator antenna (TDRA) using PSO. The proposed antenna's radiation characteristics were extracted using Ansoft HFSS software. At a resonant frequency of 5-7 GHz, the four element antenna provides nearly 21 percent bandwidth and the optimized gives 5.82 dBi peak gain. The radiation patterns symmetry and uniformity are maintained throughout the operating bandwidth. for WLAN (IEEE 802.16) and WiMAX applications, the proposed antenna exhibits a consistent symmetric monopole type radiation pattern with low cross polarisation. The proposed antenna's performance was compared to that of other dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) shapes, and it was discovered that the TDRA uses a lot less radiation area to provide better performance than other DRA shapes and PSO optimized antenna increases the gain of the antenna

In this research, a prompt gamma neutron activation analysis (PGNAA) system is designed and constructed based on the use of a low power research reactor. For this purpose, despite the fact that this reactor did not include beam tubes, a thermal neutron beam line is installed inside the reactor tank. The extraction of the beam line from inside the tank made it possible to provide the neutron flux from the order of 106 n.cm^-2.s^-1. Also, because the beam line is installed in a tangential position to the reactor core, its gamma level has been minimized. Also, a suitable radiation shield is considered for the detector to minimize the background radiation and prevent radiation damage to the detector. Calculations and measurements are done in order to characterize this system, as well as spectrometry of several samples. The results of evaluations and experiments show that this system is suitable for performing PGNAA.

의료기관에서 많이 사용되는 방사선 차폐 재료인 납을 대처할 수 있는 플라스틱 제품으로 PVC를 선택하였다. 방사선 차폐 의복 이외에 저선량 영역에서 의료기기 부품, 산업용 차폐 재료로 사용이 가능한지 평가하고자 한다. 상업용 PVC는 밀도가 3.68 g/㎠ 으로 재료의 유연성과 경제성 등 일정 방사선 영역에서는 충분한 차폐 효과를 긍정적으로 기대할 수 있으며, 다양한 형태로 변형이 가능하고, 경량의 차폐벽으로 사용할 수 있다. 의료기관에서 임상 검사 시 사용되는 의료방사선 영역 대에서 3mm PVC 5장을 두께로 조절하여 차폐 성능을 실험하였다. 의료방사선의 관전압 기준으로 실효에너지에 대한 차폐 성능을 평가하였다. PVC는 두께가 두꺼울수록 관전압과 실효에너지가 낮을수록 차폐효과는 크게 나타났으며, 차폐효과는 12mm 두께에 관전압 80kVp에서 70%의 차폐효과가 있었다. 따라서 PVC 재료의 차폐효과는 두께의 의존율이 높게 나타났다. 앞으로는 차폐 성능을 높이면서 얇고 가벼운 친환경 제품을 만들기 위한 지속적인 연구가 필요하다.
