When reactor coolant leaks occur due to cracks of a steam generator's tube, radioactive materials contained in the primary cooling water in nuclear power plant are forced out toward the secondary systems. At this time the secondary water purification resin in the ion exchange resin tower of the steam generator blowdown system is contaminated by the radioactivity of the leaked radioactive materials, so we pack this in special containers and store temporarily because we could not dispose it by ourselves. If steam generator tube leakage occurs, it produces contaminated spent resins annually about 5,000~7,000 liters. This may increase the amount of nuclear waste productions, a disposal working cost and a unit price of generating electricity in the plant. For this reasons, it is required to develop a decontamination process technique for reducing the radioactive level of these resins enough to handle by the self-disposal method. In this research, First, Investigated the structure and properties of the ion exchange resin used in a steam generator blowdown system. Second, Checked for a occurrence status of contaminated spent resin and a disposal technology. Third, identified the chemical characteristics of the waste radionuclides of the spent resin, and examined ionic bonding and separation mechanism of radioactive nuclear species and a spent resin. Finally, we carried out the decontamination experiment using chemicals, ultrasound, microbubbles, supercritical carbon dioxide to process these spent resin. In the case of the spent resin decontamination method using chemicals, the higher the concentration of the drug decontamination efficiency was higher. In the ultrasound method, foreign matter of the spent resin was removed and was found that the level of radioactivity is below of the MDA. In the microbubbles method, we found that the concentration of the radioactivity decreased after the experiment, so it can be used to the decontamination process of the spent resin. In supercritical carbon dioxide method, we found that it also had a high decontamination efficiency. According to the results of these experiments, almost all decontamination method had a high efficiency, but considering the amounts of the secondary waste productions and work environment of the nuclear power plant, we judged the ultrasound and supercritical carbon dioxide method are suitable for application to the plant and we established the plant applicable decontamination process system on the basis of these two methods.

본 연구에서는 방울토마토를 이용하여 다양한 온도와 저장기간(0, 7, 그리고 14일) 및 포장재의 기체조성을 달리하여 품질 변화 및 대장균, 곰팡이 그리고 효모와 같은 미생물의 오염도에 관해 분석하였다. 본 연구는 $5^{\circ}C$, $10^{\circ}C$ 그리고 $15^{\circ}C$의 상태에서 0일 7일 그리고 14일간 저장하여 pH, 색도 변화 및 미생물의 성장패턴을 확인하였다. 방울토마토의 pH의 변화에서는 기간에 따른 증가를 확인하였지만, 큰 차이는 보이지 않았다. 또한, 색도를 측정하였을 때도 기체조성과 온도에 독립적으로 밝기와 적색도 그리고 황색도에서 불규칙한 결과를 확인하였다. 미생물은 총균수, 대장균군수, 곰팡이 및 효모를 측정하였다. 혼합가스로 $5^{\circ}C$, $10^{\circ}C$ 그리고 $15^{\circ}C$의 상태에서 저장한 방울토마토의 미생물도 불규칙적인 생장패턴을 확인하였다. 그러나 산소함량에 비해 이산화탄소 함량이 많은 포장재에서 평균적으로 균의 생장 속도를 늦출 수 있는 것을 확인하였다. 따라서 본 연구는 저장이 우수한 최적의 기체조성 및 온도 등의 확립을 위한 기초자료로 제공할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
