전기전자 부품 및 제품상에서 주로 사용되는 Plastic 중 함유된 Perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS)의 정량 분석법을 개발하기 위해 LDPE 시료를 대상으로 soxhlet 용매추출과 액체크로마토그래피/질량분석법(LC/MS)을 사용하여 시험방법 유효화를 진행하였다. 그 결과 검출한계(LOD)와 정량한계(LOQ)는 각각 $2.58{\mu}g/L$, $7.82{\mu}g/L$였으며, 회수율은 96-102%를 나타내었다. LC/MS의 검량선은 $7.82-100{\mu}g/L$ 농도범위에서 $r^2$값 0.9992의 직선성을 확인하였다. 또한 EU 환경규제 대응을 위한 전기전자 제품 중의 PFOS 분석법 표준화를 위해서 국내외 시험기관을 대상으로 비교숙련도 시험을 실시하였다. 그 결과 참여한 10개 시험기관 중 3개 시험기관이 이상값을 제출하였다. 이에 $^{19}F$ 핵자기공명분광분석법($^{19}F$ NMR)을 사용하여 이상값의 원인을 규명한 결과 그 주요 원인이 표준시약 및 시료 중에 존재하는 PFOS 이성질체들에 대한 결과처리의 오류였음을 확인하였다. In order to develop a quantitation method for Perfluorooctanesulfonic acid(PFOS) contained in plastics that are mainly used in electric and electronic equipment, this study consisted of conducting method validations with LDPE samples using soxhlet solvent extraction and LC/MS. As a result, the limits of detection and quantitation (LOD, LOQ) were $2.58{\mu}g/L$ and $7.82{\mu}g/L$, respectively. Additionally, the recovery was 96-102%. For the correlation coefficient of LC/MS, the $r^2$ value was 0.9992 in the concentration range of $7.82-100{\mu}g/L$, which confirmed its linearity. Furthermore, for the standardization of the analysis method for PFOS in electric and electronic equipment to correspond to EU environmental regulations, we conducted a proficiency test with a number of domestic and international testing laboratories. Three of the ten testing laboratories that participated in the proficiency test submitted outliers. Accordingly, we examined the cause of the outliers using the $^{19}F$ NMR, finding that the main cause was an error in the processing of the results for isomers in PFOS that existed in standard solutions and samples.

A statistical evaluation methodology was developed to determine the compliance of candidate waste stream with clearance criteria based upon distribution of radionuclide in a waste stream at a certain confidence level. For the cases where any information on the radionuclide distribution is not available, the relation between arithmetic mean of radioactivity concentration and its acceptable maximum standard deviation was demonstrated by applying widely-known Markov Inequality and One-side Chebyshev Inequality. The relations between arithmetic mean and its acceptable maximum standard deviation were newly derived for normally or lognormally distributed radionuclide in a waste stream, using probability density function, cumulative density function, and other statistical relations. The evaluation methodology was tested for a representative case at 95% of confidence level and 100 Bq/g of clearance level of radioactivity concentration, and then the acceptable range of standard deviation at a given arithmetic mean was quantitatively shown and compared, by varying the type of radionuclide distribution. Furthermore, it was statistically demonstrated that the allowable range of clearance can be expanded, even at the same confidence level, if information on the radionuclide distribution is available.

Recently, International Atomic Energy Agency and major leading countries in radioactive waste management tend to subdivide the categories of radioactive waste based upon risk-graded approach. In this context, the category of very low level waste has been newly introduced, or optimized management options for this kind of waste have been pursued in many countries. The application of engineered surface landfill type facilities dedicated to dispose of very low level waste has been gradually expanded, and it was analyzed that their design concept of isolation has been much advanced than those of the old fashioned surface trench-type disposal facilities for low and intermediate level waste, which were usually constructed in 1960's. In addition, the management options for very low level waste in major leading countries are varied depending upon and interfaced with the affecting factors such as: national framework for clearance, legal and practical availability of low and intermediate level waste repository and/or non-nuclear waste landfill, public acceptance toward alternative waste management options, and so forth. In this regard, it was concluded that optimized long-term management options for very low level waste in Korea should be also established in a timely manner through comprehensive review and discussions, in preparation of decommissioning of large nuclear facilities in the future, and be implemented in a systematic manner under the framework of national policy and management plan for radioactive waste management. 최근 국제원자력기구와 방사성폐기물 분야 주요 선도국들은 리스크 차등접근법에 따라 방사성폐기물의 분류기준을 세분화하고 있는 추세이며, 이러한 맥락에서 극저준위폐기물을 새로운 방사성폐기물 범주로서 신설하거나 이에 대한 별도의 최적 관리방안을 모색하고 있다. 국제적으로 운영 사례가 점차 증가되고 있는 주요 국가의 극저준위폐기물 전용 공학적 표층매립형 처분시설들은 방사성핵종의 격리 및 지연 성능 측면에서 1960년대 주로 건설된 천층 트렌치형 중 저준위폐기물 처분시설 보다 개선된 것으로 분석되었다. 또한 주요 선도국들의 극저준위폐기물 관리방안은 규제해제 제도, 중 저준위폐기물 처분시설 및 비원자력 폐기물매립장의 활용 가능성, 사회수용성 등에 따라 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이와 관련하여, 국내에서도 향후 대형 원자력시설의 해체에 대비하여 극저준위폐기물의 최적 관리방안에 관한 종합적인 검토와 논의를 통해 리스크 차등접근법에 따른 최적화된 관리방안을 사전에 수립하고, 이를 국가 방사성폐기물 관리정책 및 관리계획의 틀 내에서 체계적으로 시행할 필요가 있다.

불포화대에서 오염물질 이동현상에 대한 다중구획 모델의 단순 근사방법

A conventional single compartment model cannot simulate reasonably the migration phenomenon of contaminants through unsaturated zone, due to the intrinsic unrealistic assumption of the compartment model that contaminants entering a compartment are immediately and uniformly mixed. Although, a multi-compartments model, in which even physically identical layer is divided into multiple compartments, may be used for explaining the retardation of contaminant mass flux along with increasing number of compartments, its numerical modeling is usually time-consuming and appropriate analytical solutions have not been reported yet. In order to improve the conventional compartment models on contaminant migration through unsaturated zone, a series of analytical solutions for multi-compartments model were derived and a generalized constraint under which the results from multi-compartments model can be simply approximated by single compartment model was proposed. The simplified approximation method was verified by a simple numerical analysis on the constraint under hypothetical conditions. It was also proved that the influent contaminant transfer rate from the bulk unsaturated zone can be generally represented into a time-dependent nominal transfer rate rather than a constant. In addition, the nominal transfer rate turned out to be very sensitive to the contaminant transfer rate between compartments in unsaturated zone, but to be almost insensitive to the transfer rate from contaminated zone. It is expected that the simplified approximation method developed in this study can be used for rapid and reasonable estimation of the migration phenomenon of contaminant through unsaturated zone, instead of time-consuming multi-compartments modeling.

현재, 감마 핵종 분석은 주로 무기섬광체 또는 반도체 검출기를 활용하여 여러 분야에 사용되고 있다. 이러한 검출기는 분해능이 좋지만 크기가 제한적이며, 가공성이 낮고 경제성이 플라스틱 섬광체보다 낮다. 따라서, 나노물질인 양자점과 플라스틱섬광체의 장점을 이용하여 양자점 나노물질 기반 플라스틱 섬광체를 개발하였다. 가장 많이 활용되고 있는 Cd계열 물질인 CdS/ZnS 양자점을 플라스틱 매트릭스에 교반하여 제작하였으며, 이를 ⁶⁰Co핵종 대상 계측 실험을 하여 상용플라스틱 섬광체의 성능과 비교 분석하였다. 상용플라스틱 섬광체 대비 CdS/ZnS 양자점 기반 플라스틱 섬광체가 20~30% 높은 효율을 보였다. 이는 의료분야뿐만 아니라 원자력 해체분야에서도 방사능 분석기로 활용 가능할 것으로 판단된다. Currently, gamma nuclide analysis is mainly used using inorganic scintillators or semiconductor detectors. These detectors have high resolution but there are less economical, limited in size, and low process ability than plastic scintillators. Therefore, quantum dot-based plastic scintillator was developed using the advantages of the quantum dot nanomaterial and the conventional plastic scintillator. In this study, efficient plastic scintillator was fabricated by adding CdS/ZnS based on the most widely used Cd-based nanomaterial in a polystyrene matrix. In addition, the performance of the commercial plastic scintillator was compared and it was analyzed through radiological measurement experiments. The detection efficiency of fabricated plastic scintillator was higher than commercial plastic scintillator, EJ-200. It is believed that this fabricated plastic scintillator can be used as a radioactivity analyzer in the medical and nuclear facility fields.

Orlistat(Xenical®, Roche) is considered a safe and effective drug to treat obesity by reduced absorption of 30% digested fat. To date, no serious adverse effects affecting the liver have been published except a case of subacute hepatic failure leading to liver transplantation in a young women with moderate obesity treated with orlistat. We report a case of acute cholestatic hepatitis in a young woman with moderate obesity treated with orlistat: a 33-year-old female admitted for the evaluation of jaundice. Abdominal ultrasonography, ERCP, routine chemistry, viral markers, and a fine needle biopsy of liver were performed. Microscopic findings of the liver biopsy specimen were compatible with acute cholestatic hepatitis. After steroid therapy, liver function was improved. (Korean J Hepatol 2002;8:317-320)
