There is a large amount of radioactive waste in waste storage in the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute. Some of the radioactive waste was generated during the dismantling process due to Korea Research Reactor 1&2 and it accounts for 20% of the total waste. Radioactive waste must be reduced by appropriate disposal methods to secure storage space and to reduce disposal costs. Research Reactor wastes include wastes that are below the acceptable criteria for selfdisposal and non-contaminated wastes, so they can be treated as wastes subject to self-disposal through contamination analysis and reclassification. In order to deregulation radioactive waste, it is necessary to meet the self-disposal standards stipulated in the Domestic Nuclear Act and the treatment standards of the Waste Management Act. The main factors of deregulation are surface contaminant, radionuclide activity and dose assessment. To confirm the contamination of waste, surface contaminant and gamma nuclide analysis were performed. After homogenizing the waste sample, it was placed in 1 L Mariinelli beaker. When collecting waste samples, 1 kg per 200 kg of waste was collected. The concentrations of the major radionuclides Co-60, Cs-134, Cs-137, Eu-152, and Eu-154 were analyzed using HPGe detector. To evaluate radiation dose, various computational programs were used. A dose assessment was performed with the analyzed nuclide concentration. The concentrations of representative nuclides satisfied the deregulation acceptance criteria and the results of the dose assessment corresponding to self-disposal method was also satisfied. Based on this results, KAERI submitted the report on waste self-disposal plan to obtain approval. After final approval, Research Reactor waste is to be incinerated and incineration ash is to be buried in the designated place. Some metallic waste has been recycled. In this study, the suitability of deregulation for self-disposal was confirmed through the evaluation of the surface contaminant analysis, radionuclide concentration analysis and dose assessment.

In general, dose assessment must be performed to obtain approval for clearance of radioactive waste. If the annual dose criteria through dose evaluation satisfies the clearance condition, radioactive waste can be disposed of. Various programs are used to perform dose assessment. NRCDOSE GASPAR is used as a program to assess the amount of radiation exposed to atmospheric emissions. Program is easy to use and results can be checked immediately after execution. GASPAR requires main input factors by exposure route such as site specifics, source term, special location, block data. Basically, program has default input values but user can easily modify it. The most important factor is that when entering a nuclide, the effect on progeny radionuclides is not automatically calculated. User should consider the dose contribution from progeny radionuclides. In this study, dose assessment was performed for combustible waste incineration using NRCDOSE GASPAR. And it was confirmed that exposure dose of individuals and groups criteria for clearance regulation.

In KAERI, Waste storage facility in the radiation management area has stored a large amount of wood waste. The amount of waste is approximately 27,000 kg, it accounts for 17% of the total waste in waste storage facility. Proper disposal of wood waste improves the fire resistance performance, secure storage space and reduce disposal costs. In order to self-disposal of wood waste, it is necessary to satisfy the self-disposal standards stipulated by the domestic Atomic Energy Act and the treatment standards of the Waste Management Act. The main factors of standards are surface contaminant, radionuclide activity and radiation dose effects. To confirm the contamination of wood waste, direct indirect measurement methods and gamma nuclide analysis were performed. To evaluate radiation dose, various computational programs were used. The results of the analysis were satisfied with domestic regulations on the classification and self-disposal of radioactive wastes. Based on this results, KAERI submitted the report on wood waste self-disposal plan to obtain approval. After final approval, wood waste is to be incinerated and incineration ash is to be buried in the designated place. The objective of this study is to provide total procedure of wood waste self-disposal and effective representative sampling method.

본 연구는 국민건강영양조사 제6기 자료를 이용하여 한국인의 가공식품 유래 당류 섭취율이 높은 사람의 특성을 분석하고, 당류 섭취율에 영향을 주는 요인에 대해 분석하였다. 이를 위해 군집분석과 일원배치분산분석(ANOVA)을 사용하여 통계적인 차이 유무를 분석하였다. 주요 분석결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 군집분석을 활용하여 분석대상자의 당류 섭취율을 5개 집단으로 나누었다. 가장 낮은 섭취율군은 전체 섭취 열량 중 약 3.89%를 가공식품에서 유래하는 당류로부터 섭취하고 있다. 이에 비해 가장 높은 군은 하루 평균 약 34.23%를 나타내었다. 둘째, 인구사회학적 특성 중 당류 섭취율이 높은 집단은 통계적으로 남성보다 여성이, 나이가 적을수록, 교육수준이 낮을수록, 가구원수가 많을수록, 키가 작을수록, 체중이 작게나갈수록, 허리둘레가 작을수록, BMI가 작을수록 당류 섭취율이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 행동특성에서는 음주빈도가 낮을수록, 스트레스 인지가 많을수록, 고혈압, 당뇨병, 고지혈증 진단을 받지 않을수록, 아침 및 저녁 식사 빈도가 작을수록, 영양교육을 받지 않을수록, 영양표시 이용을 하지 않을수록 당류 섭취율이 높은 것으로 나타났다. 결론적으로 한국인의 가공식품 유래 당류 섭취율에는 성별, 나이, 교육수준 등 인구사회적 특성과 음주, 스트레스, 아침 및 저녁 식사 빈도, 영양 교육 등 행동특성이 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 식품위생법 제70조의 7에는 식품의 나트륨, 당류, 트랜스지방 등의 영양성분을 건강위해가능 영양성분이라고 정의하고 있으며, 이들의 과잉섭취로 인한 국민보건상 위해를 예방하기 위해 노력해야 한다고 하고 있다. 이를 위해 식품의약품안전처는 적정섭취 실천방법 교육 및 홍보, 모니터링 및 정보제공, 이들을 줄인 급식과 외식, 가공식품 생산 및 구매 활성화 등의 사업을 운영 또는 계획 중에 있다. 국민보건 상 위해를 예방하기 위해서는 본 연구에서 도출된 가공식품에서 유래한 당류 섭취율이 높은 사람의 특성을 반영한 차별화된 소비자 교육 및 홍보가 우선되어야 한다. 이를 통해 당류 섭취율이 줄일 수 있으며, 나아가 국민 건강 증진에 기여할 수 있다고 판단된다.

The objective of this study is to analyze characteristics of high sodium intaker and factors affecting sodium intake using the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES). For this study we used two statistical methods, the cluster analysis and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). Cluster analysis was used to classify groups of sodium intake. For the analysis of the factors affecting sodium intake, we applied the ANOVA. The average daily intake for Korean is about 3,783 mg sodium per day; this amount is high than recommendation of the WTO. The demographic characteristics of people with higher sodium intake were found to be men more so women, and younger men with a higher education. Height, weight and size of a person’s waistline were also characteristics of those with higher sodium intake. Also worker, smoker, those without a hypertension diagnosis, as well as those with a higher the drinking rate and higher eating out frequency tended to have a higher intake of sodium. The Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS) had established a plan to reduce sodium intake to 3,500 mg per day to 2020. To achieve this goal, it is necessary to educate people about high sodium intake, particularly those at higher risk, according to the results of this study. Through these efforts, the social costs of high sodium intake could be reduced, improving national health.
