Принадлежит: KOREA ATOMIC ENERGY RESEARCH INSTITUTE

The present invention provides a technique for adsorbing I-125 on a support for treating cancer and a method of preparing an I-125 seed using the same. Since a method of preparing iodine according to the present invention uses an intermediate having phosphate-based, oxalate-based, or arsenate-based anions introduced thereinto, the intermediate has a substitution effect of iodine 3 to 5 times higher than that of a typically used intermediate having chlorine anions introduced thereinto. According to the substitution effect, control of a radiation dose may be possible during the manufacturing of an iodine seed and an iodine seed may be prepared within a shorter period of time.

A passive containment spray system comprising:a spray coolant storage unit that communicates with a containment accommodating a reactor vessel and maintains equilibrium of pressure with the containment;a spray pipe that is installed within the containment in such a manner that when an accident occurs, a coolant supplied from the spray coolant storage unit is sprayed into the containment through the spray pipe due to an increase in pressure within the containment; anda connection pipe having one end inserted into the spray coolant storage unit to provide a flow path along which the coolant flows, and the other end connected to the spray pipe to supply the coolant passively to the spray pipe when the pressure within the containment increases due to an occurrence of an accident and a flow of the coolant occurs therein.2. The passive containment spray system of claim 1 , wherein the connection pipe includes:an upward flow path portion inserted into the spray coolant storage unit, and providing a flow path along which the coolant flows when the pressure within the containment increases, the upward flow path extending up to a ...

Nondestructive inspection system

Номер: US20190235124A1

Disclosed is a nondestructive inspection system includes: a radiation source system generating different types of radiations and irradiating the generated different types of radiations toward an inspection object; a detector system detecting each of the radiations transmitted through the inspection object; a transfer system varying a position of the inspection object such that the radiations generated by the radiation source system are irradiated to the inspection object; and an image system generating an image regarding the inspection object on the basis of a detection result from the detector system, wherein the radiation source system comprises: an electron gun generating an electron beam; an electron accelerator accelerating the electron beam generated by the electron gun; and a target system selectively generating at least one of various types of radiations according to variables when the electron beam accelerated by the electron accelerator is irradiated thereto.
