In compliance with the amended export control of strategic items and technology in Jan. 2014, KAERI should pay attention to the export control of ITT (Intangible Technology Transfer). To control an ITT (Intangible Technologies Transfer) effectively and efficiently, the Korean government encourages the R&D institute and universities obtaining the ICP (Internal Compliance Program) from the relevant authority, MOTIE. This means that the exporters can control the ITT by themselves, because the exporters know very well the counterparts of the trading and the exporting items and technologies. In fact, ICP is for export control of dual-use items and technology in Korea. However, KAERI has tried to obtain a license from the authority, MOTIE. In an effort to do so, KAERI completed enacting a new internal self–regulation for export controls in 2016, and proceeded to apply for an ‘AA’ license of ICP in 2017 and obtained the ICP license in 2018 and re-obtained the license in 2021 from the MOTIE. In light of KAERI’s case, to obtain the ‘AA’ license of ICP is one of the best methods to increase the ability of export controls. As of now, there is no R&D institutes sponsored by the Korean government to obtain the ‘AA’ license of ICP except KAERI. KAERI can provide the actual methods as a standard case to the R&D institutes in Korea for obtaining an ‘AA’ license of ICP. According to the internal regulation of KAERI for export control, KAERI implemented an inner self-audit for export control in Nov. 2022. This is the first real self-audit for export control at KAERI. The main purpose of the self-audit is to check the transfer management of ITT and the relationship of relevant office through the interview of the staffs in the ICP organization. KAERI self-audit planed specifically and implemented for the achievement of the basic principal of selfaudit. The specific contents of this self-audit is as follows - The interview of the relevant offices: physical protection office, manpower planning office, manpower management office, nuclear education and training center, technology transfer office and international cooperation office, nuclear control and management office - Building the self-audit checklist considering the characteristics of each office - The confirmation of the inner procedure and the status of management on the export controls Through the interview of the relevant office, KAERI checked the inner procedure and the status of management on the export controls and tried to provide the supplementary measures of each relevant offices. The followings are the main results of the inner self-audit implemented in Nov. 2022. - Generally, the staffs know the meaning and relevant regulation such as foreigner’s management and the intangible technology transfer - Each office reflects the necessities of export controls on the relevant regulation and procedures and make DB for the proper duty. However, there is no indication for export controls on the DB - In the case of foreigner’s temporary visit for simple work and site tour, there is a difficult situation not to be able to check all the visitors by checking the denial lists - If necessary, KAERI may build the TFT (Task force Team) for the efficiency of export controls - Others

The present study investigated the urinary tract toxicity of melamine alone or in combination with cyanuric acid in rats. Male rats were orally administered melamine alone (800 mg/kg) or melamine plus cyanuric acid (50 mg/kg each) for 3 consecutive days. Although melamine treatment did not show any significant difference in body weight, kid- ney or urinary bladder weight, serum blood urea nitrogen (BUN) or creatinine levels, it caused a decrease in urinary pH and mild histopathological alterations in the kidney and urinary bladder. In contrast, co-administration of melamine and cyanuric acid induced a decrease in body weight, an increase in kidneys and urinary bladder weights, and an elevation in serum BUN and creatinine levels, which were not observed in animals treated with melamine alone. His- topathological examination showed that the incidence and severity of histopathological lesions in the kidney and uri- nary bladder were much higher than those in the melamine group. Urinalysis revealed an increase in urine occult blood, leukocytes and protein and a decrease in urinary pH. These results indicate that concomitant administration of cyanuric acid synergistically potentiated the urinary tract toxicity induced by melamine in rats. In this study, we first demon- strated the synergistic toxic effects of melamine in combina- tion with cyanuric acid on urinary bladder and urinalysis in rats.

본 연구에서는 체질량 지수에 따라 각기 다른 관전압을 적용하여 비뇨기계 CT 검사 시 체질량 지수 적용의 유용성을 평가하고자 하였다. A그룹(n=38)은 체질량 지수가 25 이하이며 관전압 100 kVp로 검사하였고 B그룹(n=45)은 체질량 지수가 25 이상이며 관전압 120kVp로 검사하였다. C그룹(n=37)은 체질량 지수가 25 이하이며 관전압 120kVp로 검사하였다. 체질량 지수가 25 이하로 낮은 A그룹(100 kVp)과 C그룹(120kVp)의 두 그룹간 평균 선량의 차이는 214.8 mGy·cm의 차이를 나타내었으나 정성적 평가에서는 큰 차이가 없음을 확인할 수 있었으며 체질량 지수가 25이상인 환자군과 비교하여서는 오히려 좋은 결과를 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서 체질량 지수가 25 이하로 낮은 환자는 관전압을 100 kVp 로 낮추어 촬영하여도 영상의 질에는 부정적인 영향을 주지 않음을 알 수 있다.

국내 남성에게서 많이 발생하는 전립선암을 대상으로, 근접치료 시 나노입자 사용에 따른 선량을 평가하여 기초자료를 제시하고자 하였다. 선량평가는 몬테카를로 시뮬레이션 기법인 MCNPX 프로그램을 이용하였다. 선원은 국내 HDR장비에 다용하는 192Ir으로 선정하고 나노입자는 금, 가돌리늄, 산화철, 요오드를 사용하였다. 그 결과 표적장기인 전립선은 나노입자를 사용 시, 사용하지 않은 경우에 비해 모두 흡수선량이 높게 나타났다. 특히 금 나노입자가 3.13E-03 J/kg·e의 값으로 가장 높았다. 주변장기 및 주변인에 대한 선량은 나노입자 사용에 따른 차이가 크지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 나노입자 사용은 치료가능비를 상승시켜 치료효율을 증가시킬 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

조영제의 혈관외유출을 한번이라도 경험한 방사선사들은 혈관외유출의 발생에 대한 두려움으로 검사하 는 동안 정신적 고통을 수반하게 된다. 환자의 경우 심한 신체적, 정신적 고통과 의료진 및 의료에 대한 불 신을 갖게 되므로 미연에 예방할 수 있는 방안의 마련이 무엇보다 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 조영제 주입 시 압력인 PSI를 낮추어 혈관외유출을 예방하고자 하며 그 방안으로 자동주입기와 환자의 정맥주사 바늘에 연결되는 Y자 형태의 연결관(connecting tube)의 직경에 따른 조영제 주입 시 PSI의 변화를 비교 분 석하고자 하였다. Y형태의 연결관 직경이 약 2 mm 정도인 A제품의 경우 전체 평균 연령의 PSI는 98.5, 표 준편차 9.72로 나타났다. 연결관 직경 약 3 mm 정도인 B제품의 경우 전체 연령의 평균 PSI는 62.0, 표준편 차 8.59로 나타났다. 이것은 직경이 더 넓은 B제품의 경우 A제품과 비교했을 때 평균압력이 37.05% 감소한 결과이다.

Recently, the navigation risk is increasing significantly with growing of vessels' volume and propelling marine facilities, water bridges and port development etc. As a result, Ministry of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs enacted a new law called MSA(Maritime Safety Audit) as a comprehensive maritime traffic safety management scheme in order to ensure safety improvements from the early planning stage to post managing of the development which affect the maritime traffic environment. MSA as a tool for improving maritime traffic safety is a formal safety diagnosis assessment in the existing or future ship's fairway by an independent audit institute. It examines the potential hazards of maritime traffic safety about the port development, if necessary, and is to ensure the implementation of appropriate safety measures. The primary purpose of MSA is to identify potential risk elements affecting safe navigation. This paper is aimed to introduce the backgrounds, the necessity and efficiency of MSA and also to describe some technical standards and diagnostic procedures.

Activated sludge sewage treatment processes are difficult to be controlled because of their complex and nonlinear behaviour, however, the control of the dissolved oxygen level in the reactors plays an important role in the operation of the facility. For this reason, this study is designed to present a system which accurately measures DO, MLSS, pH and ORP in the aeration tank to alleviate situations above and provide the automatization of a sewage treatment plant (STP) using new DO control system. The automatic control systems must be guaranteed the accuracy. Therefore, the proposed automatic DO control system in this study could be commercial applications in the aeration tanks by means of operating cost analysis and user-friendly for operation and maintenance. We could get accurate data from the lab tank which has water quality checker because there was no vortex and air bubble during the measurement process. Improvement of confidence in the lab tank enabled effective and automatic operation of sewage treatment plants so that operation costs and manpower could be saved. If this result is put in place in every sewage treatment plant nationwide for practical purposes, it is estimated to cost 18.5 million dollars in installing the lab tank and to save 9.8 million dollars in management cost a year, except for cost saved by automation.
