Prevention of radiation hazards to workers and the environment in the event of decommissioning nuclear power plants is a top priority. To this end, it is essential to continuously perform radiation characterization before and during decommissioning. In operating nuclear power plants, various detectors are used depending on the purpose of measurement. Portable detectors used in power plants have excellent portability, but there is a limit to the use of a single measuring device alone to quantify radioactive contamination, nuclide analysis, and ensure representation of measurement results. In foreign countries, gamma-ray visualization detectors are being actively used for operating and decommissioning nuclear power plants. KHNP is also conducting research on the development of gamma-ray visualization detectors for multipurpose field measurement at decommissioning nuclear power plants. It aims to develop detectors capable of visualizing radioactive contamination, analyzing nuclides, estimating radioactivity, and estimating dose rates. To this end, we are developing related software according to the development process by purchasing sensors from H3D, which account for more than 75% of the US gamma-ray visualization detector market. In addition, field tests are planned in the order of Wolsong Unit 1 and Kori Unit 1 with Research reactor in Gongneung-dong in accordance with the progress of development. The detector will be optimized by analyzing the test results according to various gamma radiation field environments. The development detector will be used for various measurement purposes for Kori unit 1 and Wolsong

제염은 원전 해체를 위한 가장 중요한 기술 중의 하나이다. 제염은 해체작업자의 피폭을 감소시키고 발전소 일부 부품을 재 활용 할 수 있게 한다. 현재는 해체 제염기술의 효용성에 대한 자료가 많지는 않다. 대부분의 경우, 제염 후, 부분적인 방사 능준위가 규제의 적용을 받지 않는 수준까지 낮아 질 수 있으므로 좋은 제염효율을 갖는 제염기술은 꾸준히 개발되어야 한 다. 본 논문에는 이러한 제염기술을 활용하여 원전을 해체한 미국 및 유럽국가들의 경험사례를 설명하였다. 국내 원전을 해 체 할 경우 이 연구가 선행사례로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.
