Objectives : The purpose of this study is to investigate the awareness and performance towards the dental radiation protection behaviors in dental institutions in Busan and Gyeongnam. Methods : Two hundred and one dental medical institutions in Busan and Gyeongnam participated in the survey from March 10 to April 4, 2014. The data were analyzed using SPSS 19.0 for ${\chi}^2$ test, t-test, ANOVA, and multiple regression analysis. Results : There were significant differences in the awareness and performance towards the radiation protection behaviors according to age, monthly income, and type of hospital(p<0.05). Protective equipment influenced on the awareness and performance of dental staff and patients(p<0.001). The important variables on dental radiation protection included protection facility and education of protective equipment. It is found the variable to affect the performance of dental radiation protection was protection facility, wearing of protective device staff and patients, education on RSM. Conclusions : These results can provide the basic data for the effective dental radiation safety management and improvement for the dental institutions.

방사선방호의 최적화 검토에 대하여 계층화 의사결정법에 의한 의사결정과정의 예시적 방법론이 제시되었다. ICRP Publ. 55의 우라늄 광산 환기시스템 결정 사례의 방호데이터를 이용하여 주어진 방호선택대안 가운데 최적안을 도출하는 과정을 나타내었다. 이 AHP 방법은 방사선방호의 최적안 결정에 있어 방사선방호 관리자 또는 의사 결정자가 이해하기 쉽고 간편한 방법으로 판단된다.

Radiation and its various industrial applications have been growing at approximately 10 percent per year for the past decade in Korea. As a result, the importance of the Education and Training (E&T) in radiation protection is of upmost importance. This paper is intended to investigate the present status of the E&T on radiation protection and safety in Korea and to draw up the improvements of the E&T courses required for building the national radiation safety infrastructure. For these purposes, the E&T data from the six major domestic organizations providing radiation protection training courses were investigated and analyzed. Each of the organizations is offering several kinds of E&T courses based on their own specific functions. These organizations have administrative facilities equipped with the latest technology for E&T in radiation protection. The E&T courses mainly cover the training courses for radiation workers, radiological emergency staff, license applicants, license holders, and regulatory staff. In 2010, a total of 58 E&T courses were carried out across six organizations. The conclusions make a number of observations highlighting challenges such as: establishing a formal feedback mechanism, introducing more practical training sessions, developing training courses tailored to the job categories and target audiences, and designing education and training courses in radiation protection that comply with current obligations as well as future requirements.

Epidemiological research has revealed that radiation exposure can cause cataracts. The Korean nuclear regulatory body has proposed the reduction of the occupational dose limit for the lens of the eye from 150 mSv/y to 100 mSv/5y, with an additional limitation of not exceeding 50 mSv/y for a specific year, taking into account the recommendations of the International Commission on Radiological Protection, and the International Atomic Energy Agency. This means that radiation workers should receive the same level of radiation safety for the lens of the eye as for whole-body protection. Korean nuclear power plants (NPPs) are conducting research to establish the radiation protection program for the lens of the eye. In terms of the preliminary results of the implementation of the radiation protection program for the lens of the eye dedicated to Korean NPPs, this review article summarizes the current state of understanding of the regulations, technical guidance, eye lens dosimeters, and radiation field conditions resulting in lens dose.

비이온화방사선(NIR)에 대한 방어는 증가되는 관심의 주제가 되고 있지만, 방사선의 유형이나 그 적용간의 의존되는 아주 다른 개념의 사용은 이 분야에서의 통일된 방법의 자료편집에 어려움을 주고 있다. 이 논문의 주된 목적은 비 이온화방사선 방어의 목적으로 확실하게 사용하는 개념, 양, 단위 및 전문용어를 제공하기 위해서이다. 그 외에 방사선방어의 표준과 피폭한도를 양으로 나타내는데 사용되는 특별한 개념과 주어진 양들의 체계적인 분류와 비교를 요약하고 또 논하였다.
