Molecular dynamics simulations were performed to predict the behavior of graphite atoms under neutron irradiation using large-scale atomic/molecular massively parallel simulator (LAMMPS) package with adaptive intermolecular reactive empirical bond order (AIREBOM) potential. Defect structures of graphite were compared with results from previous studies by means of density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The quantitative relation between primary knock-on atom (PKA) energy and irradiation damage on graphite was calculated. and the effect of PKA direction on the amount of defects is estimated by counting displaced atoms. Defects are classified into four groups: structural defects, energy defects, vacancies, and near-defect structures, where a structural defect is further subdivided into six types by decision tree method which is one of the supervised machine learning techniques.

For tensile tests, Vickers hardness tests and microstructure tests, plate-type and box-type specimens of austenitic 316L stainless steels were produced by a conventional machining (CM) process as well as two additive manufacturing processes such as direct metal laser sintering (DMLS) and direct metal tooling (DMT). The specimens were irradiated up to a fast neutron fluence of 3.3 × 10⁹ n/cm² at a neutron irradiation facility. Mechanical performance of the unirradiated and irradiated specimens were investigated at room temperature and 300 ℃, respectively. The tensile strengths of the DMLS, DMT and CM 316L specimens are in descending order but the elongations are in reverse order, regardless of irradiation and temperature. The ratio of Vickers hardness to ultimate tensile strength was derived to be between 3.21 and 4.01. The additive manufacturing processes exhibit suitable mechanical performance, comparing the tensile strengths and elongations of the conventional machining process.

The effect of thermal annealing on defect recovery of in-core neutron-irradiated 4H-SiC was investigated. Au/SiC Schottky diodes were manufactured using a 4H-SiC epitaxial wafer that was neutron-irradiated at the HANARO research reactor. The electrical characteristics of their epitaxial layers were analyzed under various conditions, including different neutron fluences (1.3 × 10¹⁷ and 2.7 × 10¹⁷ neutrons/cm²) and annealing times (up to 2 h at 1700 ℃). Capacity-voltage measurements showed high carrier compensation in the neutron-irradiated samples and a recovery tendency that increased with annealing time. The carrier density could be recovered up to 77% of the bare sample. Deep-level-transient spectroscopy revealed intrinsic defects of 4H-SiC with energy levels 0.47 and 0.68 eV below the conduction-band edge, which were significantly increased by in-core neutron irradiation. A previously unknown defect with a high electron-capture cross-section was discovered at 0.36 eV below the conduction-band edge. All defect concentrations decreased with 1700 ℃ annealing; the decrease was faster when the defect level was shallow.

목적 : 온열치료는 엑스선 또는 감마선 등 LET 가 낮은 방사선에 대한 세포 및 조직에서의 반응을 증강시킬 수 있음이 이미 잘 알려져 있다. 그러나 다른 종류의 방사선과 온열치료의 상호작용에 대해서는 연구가 미미한 실정이다. 따라서 저자들은 속중성자와 온열치료의 순서 및 시간간격에 따른 병용효과를 파악하고자 이 연구를 시행하였다. 재료 및 방법 : 사람 위암세포주인 MKN-45 세포에서 1.5Gy 의 중성자조사 전후 각 6, 4, 2, 0(5분) 시간 간격으로 41$^{\circ}C$ 또는 43$^{\circ}C$ 에서 30분간의 온열치료 시행하여 세포생존율을 측정하였다. 결과 : MKN-45 의 D$_{0}$ 와 n 은 각각 0.8Gy 와 2.5 이었고, 1.5Gy 에서의 생존분획은 0.36($\pm0.34$) 이었다. 시간 간격에 따른 상호작용력은 대부분 1 과 2 사이였으나, 41$^{\circ}C$ 의 온열치료후 4 또는 6시간에 시행한 중성자조사에서는 상호작용력이 각각 3.0 과 2.7 이었다. 결론 : 속중성자와 온열치료의 병용효과는 주로 상가적(additive) 이나, 약온열치료(41$^{\circ}C$, 30분) 가 4 또는 6시간 전에 시행된 경우 후속 중성자조사에 대한 내성이 유발될 수있다.

비정질 F $e_{81}$ $B_{13.5}$S $i_{3.5}$ $C_2$리본에서 중성자 조사 후 X-선 회절, 상온에서의 자기이력곡선, 자화의 온도의존성 그리고 복소 투자율 측정하고, 결함에 의한 자기 특성과 관련하여 분석하였다. 중성자 조사량은 열 중성자( $n_{th}$)와 고속 중성자( $n_{f}$)가 각각 6.95$\times$$10^{18}$ $n_{th}$$cm^{-2}$ 과 4.56$\times$$10^{16}$ $n_{f}$$cm^{-2}$ 이었다. 중성자 조사된 시료의 X-선 회절상의 변화는 보이지 않았다. 중성자 조사 후, 복소 투자율의 자기이완특성에서 자벽운동에 의한 부분은 감소하였고, 자화회전에 의한 자기이완 주파수는 좀더 높은 주파수 영역으로 이동하였는데 , 이는 pinning력이 증가된 것을 반영한다. 자기이력곡선에서는 중성자 조사 후의 시료의 softness는 좋아지는 한편 포화자화값은 감소되는 것을 볼 수 있었으며, Curie 온도가 감소하는 결과가 나왔다. 자기 softness 향상은 자화회전에 의한 것이라 여겨진다.다.다.다.

The objective of this study is to investigate the feasibility of simulating the mechanical properties of irradiatied austenitic stainless steels by cold-working. In this study, the tensile properties, cyclic hardening behaviors and fracture toughness of cold-worked TP316L stainless steel were compared with those of austenitic stainless steels irradiated by neutrons. It showed that cold-working can properly simulate the increase in strength and the decrease in ductility and fracture resistance of austenitic stainless steels by neutron irradiation, even though it could not perfectly simulate the microstructures of irradiated austenitic stainless steels. Also, cold-working can appropriately simulate the hardening behaviors of neutron irradiated austenitic stainless steels under monotonic and cyclic loading conditions.

Series of experiments were conducted to determine lethal does of X-ray and Neutron on Toxoplasma gondii. strain RH and IRI. As well morphological changes of Toxoplasma gondii irradiated or not were compared by use of electron microscope. The pathogenicity test of the irradiated and nonirradiated Toxoplasma gondii was made in mice guinea-pigs, rabbits and pigs: The letahl dose of X-ray and Neutron on RH and IRI strain and the growth rate between two strains after irradiation were shown little differences. Morphological changes were not observed until 18th passage was made. After then, the growth rate was decreased apparently, and atrophied forms were frequently observed in electron microscope. Survival time of animals inoculated with irradiated strain was longer than that of animals giving non-irradiated strain, and Toxoplasma gondii were isolated from all the dead animals. But it is of interest that pigs survived after injection of Toxoplasma gondii remained health and much attempts were failed toisolate Toxplasma gondii remained health and much attempts were slaughtered them. Animals were succumbed after injection of Toxoplasma gondii without any relationship with serum titers. (HA antibody).
