We observed initial rusting process of steel containing Al under wet/dry cyclic condition with NaCl solution film using in situ X-ray diffraction spectroscopy at SPring-8 synchrotron radiation facility. It was found that mass fraction of iron oxides such as ${\alpha}-FeOOH$, ${\beta}-FeOOH$ and ${\gamma}-FeOOH$ varied with Al content. Some kinds of Al oxides were also found at the initial stage of corrosion. Those corrosion products might affect the corrosion process and corrosion rate of the steel.

Background: The use of radiation and radioisotopes in Korea has been increasing each year, and its impact on economy and industry is expected to be increasing progressively following the development of industrial technology and the expansion of their usage. To establish and supporting policies for industries using radiation and radioisotopes, it is necessary to check the status of related industries accurately, as well as to gather data required to establish plans for industrial development by studying both revenues and economic scale (contributing to revenue). Materials and Methods: To analyze the status of utilization, surveys were carried out on 6,621 organizations engaged in nuclear operations handling radiation and radioisotopes pursuant to the Nuclear Safety Act as of end 2014, on 33,471 medical institutions using radiation generators for medical and diagnostic purposes pursuant to the Medical Service Act, and on 2,218 organizations using radiation generators for animal diagnostics pursuant to the Veterinary License Act. Results and discussion: The overall status of the domestic radiation market including the number of user organizations, that of employees, and the size of distributions (imports, productions, and exports) with which the scale of domestic radiation market can be judged showed a growth trend compared to the previous year, though the number of employees for radiation operation in industrial sector, research sector, education sector, military sector, and power plants (nuclear power plants) and the size of imports was reduced somewhat. Conclusion: It is expected that data acquired through periodic surveys on the status of utilization would be utilized practically in establishing governmental policies related to the promotion of usage of radiation and radioisotopes, and also be utilized widely in cultivating and developing the industry efficiently to invigorate the related industries.

국내 원자력 방사선 산업의 높은 성장과 전문 인력 수요의 증가는 기술 발전 단계관점에서 기술 공학자 혹은 중간기술자의 수요 확대를 가져왔다. 그러나 원자력 방사선 기술의 발전과 이용에 비해 전문인력 양성 교육기관은 빈약한 실정이다. 산업체에서 가장 필요로 하는 인력은 초중급 기술인력으로 이들을 양성할 교육기관이 필요하며 이들의 교육 수요를 만족시켜줄 가장 유리한 교육기관은 전문대학이라 하겠다. 따라서 현재 의료분야로 편중된 우리나라의 전문대학방사선과 교육과정을 산업체에서도 필요로 하는 교육과정을 개발하고자 한다. 연구개발의 내용과 그 범위는 크게 4가지로 구분하여 연구를 수행하였다. 첫 번째, 교육과정 시행의 대상인 방사선 산업체 관련 인력환경 기초 조사를 시행하였으며, 이를 위해 세부 시행 업무로서 국내의 방사선 산업체 종사자, 전문대학 방사선과 재학생과 교수를 대상으로 설문조사 및 분석을 하였다. 두 번째, 교육과정 개발에 필요한 기초 자료로서 국내외 방사선 관련 대학들의 사례를 통해 교육과정을 분석하였다. 또 이를 위해 국내, 일본, 미국의 방사선 관련 대학의 교육과정을 조사 및 분석하였다. 세 번째, 방사선 산업에 필요한 기초 과학 교과목과 방사선 전공 교과목을 개발하였다. 이 과정에서는 미국과 한국의 공학교육 인증원에서 제안하고 있는 원자력, 방사선 관련 교육 프로그램 지침을 참고로 하였다. 네 번째로 정규 교육과정에 필요한 교과목 즉 선택형 교과목을 개발하였는데, 여기에는 교과목 운영에 필요한 교육과정 개발과 정규 교육과정 이외의 심화과정 및 부전공제 운영 모델의 개발이 포함되었다. 연구의 핵심 결과는 방사선 산업체 업무 분야에 적합한 선택형 세부 교육과정을 제안하였는데, 각 대학의 특성과 교육 목표에 따라 달라질 수 있다. 첫 번째는 업무분야별 세부교육과정으로, 방사선 이용분야에 적합한 교과목과 방사선 안전관리 분야에 적합한 교과목을, 두 번째로 업체 유형별 세부교육과정으로 제조업체에 필요한 교과목, 비파괴검사업체에서 필요한 교과목, 판매기관에서 필요한 교과목, 그리고 연구소에서 필요한 교과목을 선정하였다. 또한 이러한 교과목을 시행하기 위하여 교과과정 2가지 운영 모델을 제안하였는데, 첫째는 현재 전문대학 방사선과 3년 과정에서 의료분야 전공과 산업분야전공 별로 전공제를 실시하는 방법과 둘째로, 전문대학을 졸업 후 심화과정(1년 과정)에서 산업방사선을 전공하도록 하는 방법이다. 운영모델을 좀더 효과적으로 운영하기 위해서는 보다 심도 있는 학제 연구와 더불어 교재의 개발이 전제되어야 하며, 교과운영에 필요한 교수인력, 실습공간, 기자재 등의 재정의 확보 역시 해결되어야 할 문제이다.

Background: It is necessary to assess radiation dose to workers due to inhalation of airborne particulates containing naturally occurring radioactive materials (NORM) to ensure radiological safety required by the Natural Radiation Safety Management Act. The objective of this study is to develop an internal dose assessment procedure for workers at industries using raw materials containing natural radionuclides. Materials and Methods: The dose assessment procedure was developed based on harmonization, accuracy, and proportionality. The procedure includes determination of dose assessment necessity, preliminary dose estimation, airborne particulate sampling and characterization, and detailed assessment of radiation dose. Results and Discussion: The developed dose assessment procedure is as follows. Radioactivity concentration criteria to determine dose assessment necessity are $10Bq{\cdot}g^{-1}$ for $^{40}K$ and $1Bq{\cdot}g^{-1}$ for the other natural radionuclides. The preliminary dose estimation is performed using annual limit on intake (ALI). The estimated doses are classified into 3 groups ( < 0.1 mSv, 0.1-0.3 mSv, and > 0.3 mSv). Air sampling methods are determined based on the dose estimates. Detailed dose assessment is performed using air sampling and particulate characterization. The final dose results are classified into 4 different levels ( < 0.1 mSv, 0.1-0.3 mSv, 0.3-1 mSv, and > 1 mSv). Proper radiation protection measures are suggested according to the dose level. The developed dose assessment procedure was applied for NORM industries in Korea, including coal combustion, phosphate processing, and monazite handing facilities. Conclusion: The developed procedure provides consistent dose assessment results and contributes to the establishment of optimization of radiological protection in NORM industries.

본 논문에서는 항공기 내의 RF 방사 신호로 인하여 비상 유압 경고등이 비정상으로 점등되는 현상에 대한 개선 방안을 연구하였다. RF 방사 신호의 전자파 간섭으로 비행 중에 비상 유압 시스템의 경고등이 점등되면, 비행 임무 및 안전에 영향을 주어 비행 임무의 효율 저해 및 정비 소요가 발생한다. 따라서, 비상 유압 경고등의 비정상 점등에 대해서 원인 분석 및 고장탐구를 수행하였다. RF 방사 신호의 경로에 있는 항공기의 동체 하부 복합체 스트립을 차폐하여 비상유입지시계로 유입되는 RF 방사 신호를 차단하도록 개선하였다. 또한, 지상과 비행 모니터링을 통해 개선 방안을 적용한 결과도 함께 기술하였다.

The numerical analysis of sound radiation by vibrating structure is a well known and mature technology used in many industries. Accurate methods based on the boundary or finite element method have been successfully developed over the last two decades and are now available in standard CAE tools. These methods are however known to require significant computational resources which, furthermore, very quickly increase with the frequency of interest. The low speed of most current methods is a main obstacle for a systematic use of acoustic CAE in industrial design processes. In this paper we are going to present a set of innovative techniques that significantly speed-up the calculation of acoustic radiation indicators (acoustic pressure, velocity, intensity and power; contribution vectors). The modeling is based on the well known combination of finite elements and infinite elements but also combines the following ingredients to obtain a very high performance: o a multi-frontal massively parallel sparse direct solver; o a multi-frequency solver based on the Krylov method; o the use of pellicular acoustic modes as a vector basis for representing acoustic excitations; o the numerical evaluation of Green functions related to the specific geometry of the problem under investigation. All these ingredients are embedded in the ACTRAN/AR CAE tool which provides unprecedented performance for acoustic radiation analysis. The method will be demonstrated on several applications taken from various industries.
