Performance Analysis for Secured Service Signals of RNSS Systems
Kahee Han,Subin Lee,Kihoon Lee,Jong-Hoon Won 사단법인 항법시스템학회 2022 Journal of Positioning, Navigation, and Timing Vol.11 No.4
When designing a new RNSS signal, the performance analysis for the legacy signal providing the same service, is required to determine the performance requirements. However, there are few studies on the secured service (SS) signal performance analysis, and the waveform is the only published information on the signal design component of the SS signal. Therefore, in this paper, we introduce several figures-of-merit (FoMs) that can be used for performance analysis in terms of the waveform. And then, we calculate the FoMs, such as autocorrelation main peak to secondary peak ratio (AMSR), spectral efficiency, Gabor bandwidth, multipath error, and jamming resistance quality factor, for the existing SS signals and discuss the analysis results. Finally, we conclude that the superior waveform for each FoM is different, and that the consideration of the trade-off relationship between the FoMs is required for waveform design.

For the final disposal of radioactive waste generated during the operation of nuclear power plants, concentrations of 14 radionuclides including gross alpha have to be determined to meet nuclear regulatory requirements. In order to determine the gross alpha radioactivity in radioactive waste, the sample must be preprocessed into a solution which is usually a strong acid. When this solution is used to prepare the gross alpha measurement sample, it produces a lot of salt, which makes an accurate measurement difficult. Also it causes corrosion of a planchet, which causes problems in the disposal of waste in the future. For these reasons, an acid treatment of the solution was added to the existing preprocess procedure, which is also expected to improve the measurement error. Although the gross alpha measurement is known to be easy to perform and able to give rapid results, it cannot be used for quantitative analysis. This is because the energies emitted by the individual alpha nuclides are assumed to be produced from a single alpha emitted by the individual alpha nuclides are assumed to be produced from a single alpha emitter used as the standard calibration source. Also, due to self-absorption of alpha particles a counting rate depends on the thickness (or weight) of the residues on the planchet. In this study, we compared gross alpha radioactivity with and without an acid treatment to prepare gross alpha measurement samples. The weights of the treated samples increased by at most 5% after about 12 hours of evaporation to dryness, and then saturated or slightly decreased, while the weights of the untreated samples increased up to 20% over time. In addition, the radioactivities of the untreated samples were about two times those of the treated samples. This is considered to be due to differences both in the geometric shapes of the samples and the weights of their residues which resulted from whether acid treatment was applied or not. The results of this study showed that an acid treatment was beneficial in reducing both production corrosion and salts which could result in more reliable and constant measurements of gross alpha activity. The results showed that acid treatment was beneficial in reducing corrosion and measurement errors.

For the final disposal of radioactive waste, concentration of gamma nuclides such as Co-58, Co-60, Cs-137, Nb-94 have to be determined to meet nuclear regulatory requirements. In general, gamma nuclide analysis can be performed with simple sample pretreatment without complicated chemical separation processes due to the characteristics of the nuclide and high resolution of the measuring equipment. However, when the concentration of Co-60 is high in a specific radioactive waste generated at the NPP, the background is increased by the compton continuum of Co-60. That makes it difficult to evaluate accurately Nb-94, which is in the lower energy band than the gamma ray energy region of Co-60 and especially Cs-137, which is used as a key nuclide of scaling factor. In this study, We consider the problem of MDA dissatisfaction or overestimation due to the increased background by Co-60.

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.
