For spent nuclear fuel transferred to dry storage facilities, it is difficult to apply safeguards approaches and long-term integrity verification due to the structural characteristics of the facility. There is a need to check the integrity of the nuclear fuel assembly before transferring it to a dry storage facility and are need to provide information on whether there are any defects. At the Korea Institute of Nuclear Nonproliferation and Control, as a non-destructive testing technology for ensuring Continuity of Knowledge (CoK) of the dry storage facilities, a methodology for reconstructing images by neutron tomographic technique from spent nuclear fuel using a He-4 gas scintillation detector was presented. It is thought that the He-4 gas scintillation detector-based technology can be used to verify the defect of the nuclear fuel assembly. This methodology must be accompanied by accurate neutron measurements. The place where the technique was conducted is surrounded by a concrete wall. Concrete contains water molecules, which can affect neutron measurements. In this study, reconstruction images based on neutron measurements and MCNP simulations are compared to verify the effects of the concrete. Neutron measurements were performed by measuring Cf-252 neutron sources in a 1/10 lab-scale TN- 32 cask with six He-4 gas scintillation detectors as an array. Neutron sources are fixed at each point in the cask, and the He-4 detector array is rotated from 0° to 360° at 10° intervals to reconstruct the image using the filtered back-projection (FBP) method. Also, in MCNP reconstructed images, there are two versions depending on whether concrete wall. The source image and ring shape were found in the measurement-based thermal neutron reconstruction image, which was similar to the simulation image that considering the concrete effects. On the other hand, in the simulation reconstruction image without the concrete, only the shape of the source was found. Thus, the effect of concrete should be considered when performing the neutron tomographic techniques using He-4 gas scintillation detectors.

본 연구는 조제유류 중 지방산에 대해 최신 분석법을 마련하고자 수행하였다. 조제유류 중 지방산 함량 분석을 위해 GC를 이용한 분석법을 확립하고 시중에 유통 중인 제품을 대상으로 적용성을 검토하였다. 분석법 검증은 특이성, 직선성, 검출한계 및 정량한계, 정확성, 정밀성에 대해 수행되었다. Linoleic acid 및 α-linolenic acid의 0.1-5 mg/ mL 농도범위에서 R2=0.999 이상의 우수한 직선성을 확인할 수 있었다. Linoleic acid 및 α-linolenic acid의 LOD는 각각 0.06 mg/mL, 0.01 mg/mL, LOQ는 각각 0.16 mg/mL, 0.03 mg/mL였다. 표준인증물질 분석을 통해 정확성을 검토 하였으며, linoleic acid 및 α-linolenic acid의 회수율은 각각 100.8%와 101.1%로 확인하였다. 정밀성을 검토한 결과 시료 채취량에 따른 반복성은 linoleic acid 1.4-2.9%, α- linolenic acid 1.1-2.7%이었고, 실험실간 재현성은 각각 2.8%, 1.5%임을 확인하였다. 본 연구에서 확립된 분석법을 적용하여 국내 유통 중인 조제유류 및 조제식 제품 12건에 대해 적용성 검토를 실시한 결과 전체 시료에서 분석이 용이 하였으며, 모두 기준·규격에 적합함을 확인하였다. 본 결과로부터 확립된 GC를 이용한 분석법은 조제유류 중 지방산 함량을 확인하기에 적합함을 확인하였으며 국내 식품 영양 성분의 관리 기반을 강화하는데 기여할 것으로 사료된다.

To investigate the optimum condition of 3-monochloro-l,2-propanediol(MCPD) analysis, gas chromatography with electron capture detector was-used. Determination of MCPD derivatized with phenylboric acid was more effective than that of underivatized MCPD. In derivatization of MCPD with phenyl boric acid, there were no significantly different between boiling for 2min at 90℃ and vortexing for Smin at room temperature. Extrelut column was suitable for extraction of MCPD diluted in 20% NaCl solution and recovery rates were higher than direct extraction of MCPD with ethyl acetate. But, the method of direct extraction of MCPD with ethyl acetate was useful for rapid and qualitative analysis. The sample extracted in soysauce(ganjang) was derivatized with phenylboric acid and analyzed by gas chromatography-mass selective detector. That was confirmed as MCPD-phenylboronate.

This study assessed the analysis method for measuring volatile organic silicon compounds (namely as siloxanes) by usinggas chromatography with flame ionization detector. Calibration standard gas was made in a laboratory by using six volatileorganic silicons as model gas. Two different types of working gas were prepared to evaluate quality control in GC-FIDanalysis. Less than 0.2 RSD% of repeatability of retention time was observed in the analysis of calibration standard gas. Inthe linearity test, the highest coefficient of determination (R2) was found to be 0.997 for L2 among volatile organic siliconcompounds. This study demonstrated that quantification of volatile organic silicon compounds can be performed by usingGC-FID analysis with direct injection mode, and the GC calibration can be covered by the gas-phase standard method.
