In this research, the dose rate was measured using a backpack-type scan survey device at 4 sites in sites around Nuclear Power Plants (Kori, Wolsong, Hanbit, Hanul), and the radioactivity ratio for each nuclide was evaluated using an high-purity germanium (HPGe) detector. Kori, Wolsong and Hanul power plants were measured within 2 km of the power plant, and Hanbit power plants were measured about 6.7 km from the power plant. As a result of measuring the dose rate with a backpacktype scan survey device, the average dose rate was the lowest in the measurement site 1 at 0.090 μSv/h, and the highest in the measurement site 4 at 0.145 μSv/h. All measurement points showed the domestic environmental dose rate level. The data obtained by the scan survey was visualized using the classed post and gridding functions of the surfer program. As a result of measurement with the HPGe detector, 137Cs was not detected, and only natural nuclides were detected. Among the detected natural nuclides, the radioactivity ratio was the highest for 40K with an average of 94.56%, and the lowest for 214Pb with an average of 0.26%. The results of this research can be used as basic data for radiation environment surveys around nuclear power plants. Further studies are needed to evaluate the radiation impacts by region and environment through periodic measurements.

n this research, the dose rate was measured using backpack-type scan survey device at 4 sites on Jeju Island, and the radioactivity ratio for each nuclide was evaluated using an high-purity germanium (HPGe) detector. As a result of measuring the dose rate with a backpack-type scan survey device, the average dose rate was the lowest in the measurement site 3 at 0.049 Sv/h, and the highest in the measurement site 1 at 0.066 Sv/h. The average dose rate of the 4 sites on Jeju Island was 0.056 Sv/h, and the dose rate on Jeju Island was lower than that of other regions. The data acquired by scan survey were interpreted using classed post and gridding function of surfer program. The radioactivity ratio of each nuclide in the gamma spectrum measured by the HPGe detector was the highest for K-40 with an average of 87.62%, and the lowest for Pb-214 with an average of 0.63%. In the case of the Jeju Island site, Cs-137 was detected, and the average radioactivity ratio of Cs-137 was 3.27%, which was the background level. The results of this research can be used as basic data on the radioactivity ratio for each nuclide and dose rate at the Jeju Island site. Further studies on the assessment of dose rates and radioactivity ratios in other regions are needed.
