Many radionuclides emit two or more gamma rays in a cascade once they decay. At this time, gamma rays are detected at the same time, and the signals are overlapped and measured as one added signal. This is called the summing coincidence effect, and it causes an error of more than 10% depending on the detection efficiency, measurement conditions, and target nuclide. It is known to be greater as the efficiency of the detector increases and as the distance between the source and the detector decreases. It is necessary to consider the summing coincidence effect since the efficiency of the HPGe detector owned by the KHNP CRI is as high as 65%. In this study, We would like to propose an appropriate gamma nuclide analysis method for radioactive waste generated from NPP by evaluating the influence on the summing coincidence effect.
It is important to increase the sound proof performance of building for reduction the influence of aircraft noise on the basic of actual survey of existed buildings. The purpose of this study is to propose the sound proof method about indoor noise of a movie theater due to aircraft. In this study, field measurement of aircraft noise level difference were carried out for 5 type aircraft. As the result, aircraft noise levels showed to be 83.6∼98.3dB(A) and indoor noise level were NC-50∼NC-65 over acceptable NC-30 in a movie theater. Noise reduction effect showed to be NC-15∼NC-30 in a movie theater.
