지질시료 중의 U과 Th을 유도결합플라즈마 원자방출분광법으로 정량하기 위해 시료를 혼산으로 분해하고 TTA(thenoyltrifluoroacetone)와 TOA (tri-n-octylamine) 추출제를 이용하여 계통적으로 용매추출한 다음 HCl 용액으로 역추출하여 분리하였다. 표준암석 NIST SRM 278에 대한 분석결과는 NIST 및 다른 비파괴분석 결과와 비교하여 양호하였다. 알파선분광법으로 U과 Th의 자연방사성 동위원소를 측정하기 위해 추출분리한 각각을 음이온교환크로마토그래피로 정제하였다.

Uranium metal used for fabrication of fuel for research reactors in India is generally produced by magnesio-thermic reduction of $UF_4$. Performance of magnesio-thermic reaction and recovery and quality of uranium largely depends on properties of $UF_4$. As ammonium diuranate (ADU) is first product in powder form in the process flow-sheet, properties of $UF_4$ depend on properties of ADU. ADU is generally produced from uranyl nitrate solution (UNS) for natural uranium metal production and from uranyl fluoride solution (UFS) for low enriched uranium metal production. In present paper, ADU has been produced via both the routes. Variation of uranium recovery and crystal structure and composition of ADU with progress in precipitation reaction has been studied with special attention on first appearance of the precipitate Further, ADU produced by two routes have been calcined to $UO_3$, then reduced to $UO_2$ and hydroflorinated to $UF_4$. Effect of two different process routes of ADU precipitation on the characteristics of ADU, $UO_3$, $UO_2$ and $UF_4$ were studied here.

가압경수로에서 나오는 사용후 핵연료의 fissile 양은 CANDU형 원자로에 쓰는 천연우라늄의 농축도 보다 높다. 따라서 핵연료 활용을 다양화하고 점차 누적되고 있는 가압경수로의 사용후 핵 연료의 저장문제를 부분적으로나마 해결하기 위하여, 가압경수로의 사용후 책 연료를 CANDU 형 원자로에 사용하는 방안을 검토 하였다. 가압경수로에서 나온 사용후 핵 연료에서 가공되는 혼합핵연료(Mixed Oxide Fuel)를 CANDU형 원자로에 장전하였을 경우, WIMS/D 코드를 이용하여 핵적특성을 분석하였다. 그리고 본 분석에서는 현 CANDU형 원자로의 반응도 조절장치를 변경시키지 않고 혼합핵 연료를 CANDU형 원자로에 사용할 수있는 방안만 조사하였다.

From 1975 to 1981, the survey was carried out to find out radioecological effects of uranium ore deposits on natural vegetation in Koisan, Korea. The symptoms of spotty and mosaic chlorosis, and necrosis were observed in flowering plants in the areas of uranium ore deposits at Deok-Peung-Ri A, B, and C in Koisan. Although 13 species were found to be chlorosis and necrosis, foliages observed are small and very rare. The features of these symptoms closely resemble those occured by the effects of heavy meetals. The amount of transparent radiation throughout the depth of soils from uranium radiation sources decreases exponentially. The mean contents in leaves of spotty and mosaik chlorotic plants, and soils were 1.36~1.53 and 5.3~7.4 ppm, respectively.

Background: As high concentrations of uranium and radon have been detected in some areas in Korea, it is considered necessary to investigate natural radioactive materials in the Gwangju area. Objectives: This study aimed to identify the hydrochemical characteristics of groundwater in Gwangju and investigate the distribution characteristics of uranium and radon, which are naturally radioactive substances. Methods: To determine the uranium and radon concentrations in groundwater according to the geology of the Gwangju area, we measured 62 groundwater wells. A geological distribution map of uranium and radon content was prepared for this study. Results: The groundwater type, defined using a Piper diagram, was mainly Ca-HCO₃. The concentration of uranium in the groundwater ranged from 0 to 29.3 ㎍/L, with a mean of 3.3 ㎍/L and a median of 0.9 ㎍/L. The median concentration of uranium in groundwater was highest in alluvium, granitic gneiss, and biotite granite (classified by geological unit), in that order. The concentration of radon in the groundwater ranged from 4.8 to 313.2 Bq/L, with a mean of 75.6 Bq/L and a median of 59.6 Bq/L. The median concentration of radon in groundwater was highest in biotite granite, alluvium, and granitic gneiss, in that order. As a result of the correlation analysis of groundwater in the study area, there was no significant correlation between uranium and radon. Conclusions: In this study area, uranium was shown to be far below the concentrations allowed by drinking water quality standards, but radon concentrations exceeded drinking water quality monitoring standards in 11% of the samples. It was judged that appropriate measures, such as the installation of radon reduction facilities, will be required after a thorough review of high-concentration radon detection sites of in the research area.

타지키스탄공화국에는 10군데의 우라늄광산 부지에 55백만톤의 우라늄광산 폐기물이 적치 되어 있는데 부지 면적이 200 핵 타아르에 달한다. 이에 따라 우라늄 폐광과 폐기물의 안전한 관리가 주요 이슈로 부각되고 있다. 부지 복원을 위한 천연방벽과 인공방벽으로 구성된 다중 복토층은 성능 목표와 부지 조건을 고려하여 설치되어야 한다. 본 논문의 목적은 Degmay 부지에 장기간 (100년 이상)의 환경보호를 제공할 수 있는 경제적인 다중 복토층 개념을 제시 하는 것이다. HELP 코드를 사용하여 Degmay 부지의 복토층 설계 개념의 평가를 수행하였다. 그 결과 70 cm의 덮개층, 30 cm의 배수층, 지오멤브레인 라이너 그리고 60 cm의 토양 방벽층으로 구성된 복토층 개념이 두께를 최소화 할 수 있고 비교된 여러 설계개념 중 가장 경제적인 설계 안으로 제시되었다.
