Numerical analysis and study on the representativeness of sampling at uniformly mixed place of new and old ISO 2889 standards SHEN Fu, ZHANG Zhen, HOU Jie, JIANG Jing, LIU Xinhua RADIATION PROTECTION    2022, 42 (6): 585-592.   Abstract （409）      PDF（pc） （5136KB）（108）       Knowledge map    Save In order for the design of nuclear power emission facilities, the mixing uniformity which met the requirements of ISO 2889—1975 and “2∶8” principle was studied in this paper, by the method of modeling calculation in accordance with ISO 2889—2010 standards. The results show that only the basic flow characteristics as flow angel and velocity meet the requirements, but the mixing uniformity of emission representative radioiodine nuclide assessment in radioactive gas and aerosol could not meet the requirements. In order to ensure the reliability of the study, the results are verified by both simulation program and experiment. The results show that the Graphene calculation method used in this paper is in good agreement with compared program. Grapheneprogram has better results than compared program by comparing with the experimental results. The research methods and results of this paper can provide an important reference for the safe emission control of nuclear power and the implementation of relevant regulations.

ICRU Report 95: Operational quantities and consequences for dosimetry Hans Menzel, Thomas Otto RADIATION PROTECTION    2023, 43 (1): 11-16.   Abstract （105）      PDF（pc） （2752KB）（63）       Knowledge map    Save The International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) introduced so-called protection quantities. The most used protection quantity, the effective dose E, serves to set exposure limits and is used in operational radiation protection to implement the optimization principle.Effective dose, however, is not a measurable quantity. That is the reason why the International Commission on Radiation Units and Measurements (ICRU) introduced measurable (operational) quantities for dosimetry of external radiation to provide acceptable estimates of effective dose.Presently used operational quantities were defined in the 1980s, when nuclear industry was the predominant concern of occupational radiation protection. In other radiation fields, in particular for high-energy radiations, shortcomings of today’s operational quantities became evident: the effective dose can be either over- or underestimated.Based on a comprehensive study, ICRU and ICRP have now introduced new operational quantities for the dosimetry of external radiation to overcome these shortcomings. The new definition of operational quantities is more closely related to the definition of protection quantities including the effective dose, in particular by using the same anthropomorphic phantom. The proposed operational quantities simplify the system of radiation protection quantities—by reducing the difference in the definitions of protection and operational quantities—and provide in general an improved estimate of effective dose. The consequences of introducing new operational quantities on practical dosimetry are discussed in the paper. Reference | Related Articles | Metrics

Applicability analysis of linear non threshold model for low dose radiation ZHENG Guofeng, SHANG Yuyao, XU Haifeng RADIATION PROTECTION    2022, 42 (6): 525-531.   Abstract （91）      PDF（pc） （1220KB）（66）       Knowledge map    Save For radiation protection purposes, it has been assume that the overall risk of radiation-induced cancer increases as a 1inear-nonthreshold function of the radiation dose. However, epidemiological evaluation cannot support and validate LNT model, and studies on biological effects of low dose radiation have found new results that are not conducive to the LNT model. The existing data do not exclude the existence of a threshold, and the dose-response relationship is known to vary, depending on the type of cancer, the dose, dose rate, and the LET of the radiation, the age, sex, and physiological state of the exposed individuals as well as other variables. On this basis, it is concluded that no alternative dose-response model for the carcinogenic effects of low-dose radiation is more plausible than the linear-non-threshold model, although other dose-response relationships cannot be excluded. Before the establishment of the new theory and new model, LNT model is still the most realistic attitude, and LNT is also the best methodology for radiation protection so far.

Counting rate correcting method of gamma spectrum based on Digital Multichannel Analyzer CHEN Chen, WU Huan RADIATION PROTECTION    2023, 43 (1): 31-37.   Abstract （76）      PDF（pc） （2339KB）（48）       Knowledge map    Save Affected by the dead-time, the Digital Multichannel Analyzer (DMCA) which receives gamma spectrum will occur counting rate loss. This effect will bring some errors to γ spectrum analysis. Therefore it is necessary to correct the gamma spectrum with counting rate loss. Based on the dead-time model of Digital Multichannel Analyzer, Lambert W function is used to establish the closed form solution of real counting rate relative to the measured counting rate. Then the definition of counting rate limit of DMCA and the theoretical calculation of the optimal threshold of the dead time of the fast channel are proposed, and the pulse signal detected by fast channel is used as the basis of counting rate correction. Based on this basis, a method for correcting the counting rate of gamma spectrum is proposed. Experimental results show that this method can correct the counting rate loss effectively;Within the range of counting rate less than 1.8 Mcps of DMCA [using LaBr3(Ce) detector], the relative inherent error of the net counting rate at the corrected characteristic peak is less than 9%, and the linear correlation coefficient between the net counting rate at the characteristic peak and the doserate was above 0.995, which broadens the application range of Digital Multichannel Analyzer.

However, it is found in practice that the activity concentrations of many radionuclides in the effluents from nuclear power plants are not high, and the analysis results are often lower than the detection limit in the effluent emissions statistics. In this context, it is a challenge to make deep research on how the monitoring data can be processed to bring emissions statistics closer to actual emissions. In this paper, the monitoring data of effluents from Qinshan nuclear power base in recent years are collected; their numerical distribution characteristics are analyzed and studied; the statistical method and strategy of effluent emissions based on radionuclide detection rate are put forward; and the recommended value of the value coefficient of the detection limit of effluent is given. By comparing with the statistical results of traditional methods and by analyzing the differences, it is considered that the statistical method and strategy based on radionuclide detection rate is realistic and feasible, and the statistical results are closer to the actual emission situation, which is worthy of further research.

Study on the absolute activity measurement method of 125I nuclide point source and volume source by HPGe spectrometer ZHANG Lei RADIATION PROTECTION    2022, 42 (6): 556-562.   Abstract （74）      PDF（pc） （2301KB）（68）       Knowledge map    Save This paper derived the 125I activity calculation formula based on the coincidence summing characteristics of 125I nuclide X-ray and γ ray. The formula only included the net counting rate of the full-energy peaks (27.3, 35.5, 31.2 keV), the net counting rate of the sum-peaks (58.5, 66.7 keV) and the net counting rate of the total spectrum. The point source, activated carbon cartridge source and liquid source were verified by Broad-energy and N-type germanium spectrometer. When the distance from point source to detector was less than 5cm, the relative deviation between the calculated results of the absolute activity and the reference values was within ±1.2%. The self-absorption effect of 125I nuclide in activated carbon cartridge could be ignored, and the absolute activity calculation formula was not affected by the distribution form of 125I nuclide. The relative deviation of front and rear measurements for activated carbon cartridge source was within ±1.4%. The relative deviation between the measurement results and reference values of liquid source with volume less than 40mL was within ±2.6%. The sample height should not be too high during the measurement of liquid source, so as to reduce the weakening effect of self-absorption on sum-peaks. The experimental results show that the absolute activity calculation formula derived in this paper can be used to accurately measure the activity of 125I nuclide without relying on standard substances and nuclide parameters.

Using radiation sources of different energies at different positions to irradiate coding collimators with different thicknesses, it is determined that the optimal thickness of the coded collimator is 10mm by analyzing and explaining the reconstructed image SNR obtained. Then the response of the imaging system based on the optimal parameters of coded mask to the single-point source, multi-point source and extended source was simulated. The reconstructed image SNR of the single-point source reached 40.36, and the imaging system also successfully reconstructed the shape of the extended source. There are no fluctuating sidelobes in the background of reconstructed images of point and extended source. The above results prove the excellent performance of the M-M coded method, and it has the potential to replace MURA or URA in special scenarios. This article can lay the foundation for the subsequent development of coded aperture gamma camera based on M-M coded method. Reference | Related Articles | Metrics

Design and development of a variable angular resolution gamma camera based on LaBr3(Ce) crystal-coupled SiPM array SHI Boxuan, LI Yan, CAO Qinjian, ZHAO Yuan, XIA Sanqiang, WANG Chongyang, LIU Liye RADIATION PROTECTION    2023, 43 (1): 38-46.   Abstract （68）      PDF（pc） （9514KB）（38）       Knowledge map    Save Coded aperture imaging technology is widely used in nuclear safety, nuclear facility decontamination and decommissioning measurement as well as nuclear medicine due to its advantages of high detection efficiency, high signal-to-noise ratio, good angular resolution, and stable and reliable imaging quality. Aiming at the problems of the fixed imaging field of view and angular resolution of the traditional coded aperture gamma imaging system, a gamma imaging system with variable angular resolution is proposed by changing the distance between the coded collimator and the detector. The imaging system is mainly composed of coded collimator, position sensitive detector (PSD), data acquisition card and image reconstruction system. The coded collimator of the imaging system adopts the Modified Uniformly Redundant Array (MURA) coded method. In order to ensure the detection ability of higher energy rays, the material of the coding collimator adopts tungsten copper alloy with 90% tungsten content. The PSD is composed of LaBr3(Ce) crystal coupled SiPM array, and the reconstruction algorithm adopts the direct convolution algorithm which is fast and efficient. The test results show that the average energy resolution of the PSD is 4.96% (662 keV). The radiation imaging system can accurately locate Am-241, Cs-137, and Co-60 clearly, and can successfully distinguish the positions of two Cs-137 point sources by changing the distance between the coded collimator and the detector.

The results show that the radon exhalation is mainly affected by the pore-fracture migration path, and the radon exhalation rate has a positive linear correlation with the fracture depth. The shortest pore migration distance is shortened with the increase of fracture inclination angle, and the radon exhalation rate for slope angle of 60° increases by 0.164 Bq·m-2·s-1 than that of 45°. The pore-fracture path has an influence boundary on radon exhalation on tailing pond surface, and the increase of radon exhalation decreases greatly after the overlap of the fracture affected area. The shortest pore path proportion ζ is introduced, and there is a good correlation between ζ and radon precipitation J. The research results can provide a theoretical reference for radon control of tailing pond surface. Reference | Related Articles | Metrics

Application study of radioactive decay corrections to the analysis of gaseous effluents monitoring samples from nuclear power plant YIN Wangming, YOU Chengmao, MEI Xiangjie, ZHOU Kebo RADIATION PROTECTION    2023, 43 (1): 55-63.   Abstract （63）      PDF（pc） （1977KB）（66）       Knowledge map    Save In the analysis of radioactive samples, radionuclides decay correction methods could be classified into three different stages(types): correction for decay during the counting period, correction for decay prior to the starting time of counting, and the correction for decay during the sampling duration. Based on the law of radioactive decay, the principles of three different types of decay correction methods are explained. Aiming at the gaseous effluents monitoring and samples analysis in nuclear power plants, for the short half-life radionuclides of noble gases & iodines, the necessity of decay corrections which were applied to the specific activity results is analyzed and the decay correction factors of three different types are calculated. For gamma-ray spectrometry, experimental results reveal that the Minimum Detectable Concentration(MDC) of radionuclide is directly related to the decay corrections. The application scheme of decay corrections for gaseous effluents monitoring samples analysis in nuclear power plants is introduced and studied. For the short half-life radionuclides of noble gases & iodines, the monitoring analytical data deviation was reduced by the implementation of the reasonable conservative corrections scheme, and the conservativeness of statistical emissions could be ensured too.

Analysis of iodine-removing performance of venturi scrubber in containment filtration and discharge system WANG Zhen, ZHANG Jirong, BAI Dongjin, MIAO Qiyuan, LI Yongguo, REN Hongzheng, WANG Jia, ZHANG Yuan, QIU Dangui, HOU Jianrong RADIATION PROTECTION    2022, 42 (6): 598-602.   Abstract （62）      PDF（pc） （3282KB）（42）       Knowledge map    Save In this paper, the operation conditions of Venturi scrubbers in nuclear power plants is simulated with a CFD numerical simulation method. The influence of the change of air flow velocity and system pressure on the ejection volume was analyzed. Combined with the experiment method, the influence of the ejection capacity of the Venturi scrubber on iodine removal efficiency was discussed, and some guiding suggestions for the discharge conditions of the containment filtration and discharge system of a nuclear power plant were put forward. The results show that increasing air flow velocity can increase the injection amount, and the injection amount presents an approximate linear growth relationship. Meanwhile, the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the suction tube presents an approximate parabola law. The iodine removal efficiency of the system is consistent with the increasing trend of the injection amount in the initial stage, and then tends to be stable after the injection amount reaches a certain level. In order to ensure a high iodine removal efficiency, the exhaust air flow of the system should be kept above 3 300 m3/h. In the range of 0.1 to 0.5 MPa system pressure, the iodine removal efficiency can be maintained at a high level. The increase of pressure is helpful to the increase of ejection capacity, and the increase is more obvious in the high flow area. Reference | Related Articles | Metrics

Mechanisms and factors affecting radon exhalation from surface of uranium mill tailing pond with compacted soil cover: An overview LIANG Kaiqi, HONG Changshou, CHEN Zhibin, ZHAO Tianji, WANG Hong, LI Xiangyang, LIU Yong RADIATION PROTECTION    2023, 43 (2): 97-113.   Abstract （56）      PDF（pc） （11753KB）（42）       Knowledge map    Save Radon generates from porous emanation media such as soil, uranium mill tailing and rock. The sediment surface of uranium mill tailing accumulation is always in direct contact to atmospheric environment. Radon transports from soil to air and distributes homogeneously in the surroundings while alternative cover is designed to satisfy the management control of uranium mill tailing. This paper presents a literature review of radon migration process and its influence factors in uranium mill tailing, which illustrates the mechanism of the emanation characteristics of porous media and meteorological conditions on radon exhalation from uranium mill tailing. A lot of such studies have been carried out by scholars at home and abroad, but due to different experimental scale and research methods, the interpretation of the influence of mineral grain characteristics on radon exhalation mechanism is still controversial, and the influence mechanism of external meteorological environment and other factors on radon exhalation on the surface of uranium mill tailing pond is still unclear. Therefore, further work is proposed: (1) the characterization of radon exhalation process under natural conditions; (2) large-scale experiment is to be carried out for the influence mechanism of porous emanation media on radon exhalation from uranium mill tailing.

Assessment of uncertainty in collecting radioactive soil samples by sampling and analytical quality control (SAX) BAO Li, CHEN Ling, REN Xiaona, WANG Ruijun RADIATION PROTECTION    2023, 43 (1): 47-54.   Abstract （55）      PDF（pc） （1338KB）（36）       Knowledge map    Save Sampling uncertainty is one of an important part of the uncertainty in radiation environmental monitoring results. Because of the difficulty of quantifying sampling uncertainty, at present, the uncertainty of monitoring results of radiation environment only includes the analysis process, without considering the sampling process. Sampling design using SAX method and data analysis using robust variance analysis method can quantify the uncertainty of sampling process. A batch of actual monitoring data are analyzed by the SAX method, and the sampling uncertainty is obtained. And the uncertainty of monitoring results is studied carefully. It is considered that SAX method can be used to guide the monitoring of radiation environment, so as to optimize the monitoring strategy and to improve the monitoring quality.

Follow-up evaluation of diagnostic criteria for common radiation diseases ——Radiological health supervisors MA Ya, HOU Dianjun, MAO Xuesong, LIU Wei, WANG Xiankai RADIATION PROTECTION    2022, 42 (6): 540-547.   Abstract （54）      PDF（pc） （2719KB）（38）       Knowledge map    Save According to WS/T 536—2017, “Health Standards Tracking and Evaluation Work Guide.”, 337 radiation health supervisors in 7 provinces of China were polled via questionnaires, regarding their knowledge, comprehension, and application of the current diagnostic criteria for 5 prevalent radiological diseases. Only 47.5 percent (160) of radiation health supervisors are familiar with all five diagnostic criteria for radiological diseases, and 18.4 percent (62) of them are only familiar with one of the criteria, indicating the need for improvement in knowledge, familiarity, understanding, and application of these criteria by radiation health supervisors. The standard “Diagnosis of Acute Radiation Diseases from Occupational External Exposure” has been trained or disseminated to 60% of the health supervisors, whereas the standard “Diagnosis of Occupational Radiation Cataract” has been disseminated only to 4% of the health supervisors. When completing health monitoring duties, about 60% of the respondents used the conventional diagnostic criteria, but citations typically occurred once a year. More than 92% of the supervisors who responded to the survey thought that the diagnostic criteria are in line with the requirements of the prevailing national laws, rules, and standards for occupational disease prevention and treatment. For each criterion, less than 20% of respondents said it wasn’t feasible. More than 50% of supervisory institutions lacks specialized management support funds for occupational disease diagnosis requirements. Only 198 (58.75%) of the respondents’ institutions engaged in specific supervision of diagnostic institutions’ quality management. Less than 20% of respondents to the subjective question survey gave their opinion on the survey. We should increase training and dissemination of diagnostic criteria for radiation health supervisory staff in order to enhance their capacity to implement the standards. Health supervision agencies should increase funding to strengthen special supervision of radiological diagnostic institutions and establish an effective feedback mechanism.

The experimental groups were irradiated with electron beam at doses of 12 Gy and 18 Gy, while the 12 Gy+SP group and 18 Gy+SP group were treated with 10-7 mol/L SP one hour before irradiation. After 48 hours of irradiation, cell cycle and apoptosis were detected by flow cytometry. The expression of apoptosis-related genes Bcl-2 and Bax in cells of each experimental group was quantitatively detected by real-time quantitative PCR. Cell cycle detection showed that the percentage of cells in G2 phase in 12 Gy and 18 Gy experimental groups was significantly higher than that in 0 Gy group. And, compared with the 18 Gy experimental group, the percentage of cells in G2 phase in the 18 Gy+SP experimental group was significantly lower than that in the 18 Gy group. Apoptosis detection showed that compared with 0 Gy experimental group, the apoptosis rate of 12 Gy and 18 Gy irradiation group increased significantly, while the apoptosis rate of substance P intervention group (12 Gy+SP, 18 Gy+SP) was significantly lower than that of radiation group (12 Gy, 18 Gy). Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR detection of Bcl-2 and Bax expression showed that compared with 0 Gy experimental group, Bax gene expression was significantly increased and Bcl-2 gene expression was significantly decreased in 12 Gy and 18 Gy irradiated groups. And, the expression of Bcl-2 gene in substance P intervention group (12 Gy+SP and 18 Gy+SP) was significantly higher than that in radiation group (12 Gy and 18 Gy), but there was no significant difference in Bax gene expression. The above results suggest that electron irradiation can induce apoptosis and cell G2 phase arrest of human skin fibroblasts. Substance P can inhibit the apoptosis and G2 phase arrest of human skin fibroblasts damaged by radiation. Reference | Related Articles | Metrics

Monte Carlo continuation calculation method based on complex intermediate surfaces YU Hong, LV Huanwen RADIATION PROTECTION    2023, 43 (1): 77-82.   Abstract （51）      PDF（pc） （2975KB）（53）       Knowledge map    Save In order to improve computational efficiency of large and complex problems, a Monte Carlo Continuation Calculation method is proposed for structures with multiple spatial surfaces and complex curved surfaces. In this method, the external boundary of the structure is used as the source for the continuation calculation, and the sum of the calculation results of the source writing process and the continuation calculation process is taken as the final result. In terms of efficiency improvement, the method can avoid repeated calculation of the same structure in the process of direct calculation by means of one source writing process and several continuation calculation processes, which greatly improves the computational efficiency. A typical reactor structure calculation model is established by MCNP, and the continuation calculation results of four structural schemes are compared with those of direct calculation method. The results show that the calculation of the continuation method is consistent with those of the direct method, and the efficiency of the continuation calculation method is about three times higher than that of the direct calculation method. Therefore, the Monte Carlo continuation Calculation method proposed in this study can achieve significant efficiency improvement for large and complex problems involving a large number of repeated calculations.

Progress of research on electromagnetic radiation safety of implantable medical devices HE Diwei, CHEN Zhiying, TANG Danfeng, ZHANG Ying RADIATION PROTECTION    2023, 43 (3): 193-208.   Abstract （45）      PDF（pc） （15515KB）（31）       Knowledge map    Save Long-term or excessive exposure of the human body to electromagnetic radiation may cause some health effect. When medical devices are implanted into human body, the level of electromagnetic radiation exposed to human body will be increased. With the widespread application of implantable medical devices, the safety of electromagnetic radiation containing such devices cannot be ignored. Implantable medical devices often communicate with the outside world or have power supply wirelessly. On the one hand, its existence will change the electromagnetic field distribution of external radiation sources in hu-man tissues, which may increase the level of electromagnetic radiation; on the other hand, it is a radiation source itself and will generate electromagnetic radiation in human tissues. Many countries and international organizations use the specific absorption rate to measure the impact of electromagnetic radiation on the human body, and use it to formulate safety limits for electromag-netic radiation. This paper reviews domestic and foreign research on electromagnetic radiation safety in the communication and charging scenarios of implantable medical devices, and focuses on the electromagnetic field metrology methods, related models and influencing factors of electromagnetic radiation specific absorption rate research. Finally, the numerical calculation and ex-perimental measurement methods are discussed and compared, and the important factors affecting the specific absorption rate are analyzed, which will provide reference to the engineering design of parameters such as optimal operating frequency and power limit.

In this paper, the advantage and disadvantages of two methods, parameter estimation and cross locating method, were analyzed. Monte Carlo simulation was used to obtain the dose rate distribution of 137Cs point radioactive source and natural background in the model of air-ground interface. Based on the simulation data, The optimal sampling range of the parameter estimation method (the minimum distribution range of sampling points required for maximum positioning accuracy) and the optimal threshold of the cross locating method (the minimum dose rate when the positioning success rate is greater than 95%) were obtained respectively. Aiming at the problem that the parameter estimation method is time-consuming and the accuracy of cross location method is poor, based on the obtained optimal parameters, a combined location method is proposed. The method firstly uses the cross locating method to quickly approach the radiation source, and then uses the parameter estimation method for precise positioning, and tested with simulation and field experimental data. The results show that the accuracy of this combined location method is improved by 49.6% compared with the cross locating method; and the time consumption is reduced by 71.1% compared with the parameter estimation method.

Research on temperature drift correction method of seawater radioactivity sensor SHI Yan, ZHANG Yingying, WU Bingwei, FENG Xiandong, WANG Yifei, BI Haijie RADIATION PROTECTION    2023, 43 (3): 225-234.   Abstract （41）      PDF（pc） （9407KB）（24）       Knowledge map    Save The seawater radioactivity sensor developed based on NaI(Tl) scintillation crystal detection method is the main technological means to carry out in situ automatic monitoring of marine radionuclides at home and abroad. Nevertheless, when the seawater radioactivity sensor is continuously operating at sea for a long time, the measured seawater gamma spectrum data will drift due to the influence of ambient temperature. In this paper, the seawater radioactivity sensor measurement experiment is carried out under the condition of environmental temperature gradient change, and the drift law of the gamma spectrum data calculated by the seawater radioactivity sensor which occurs with the environmental temperature change is analyzed. When the ambient temperature is lower than 15 ℃, channel address corresponding to the characteristic energy peak increases with the increase of temperature; on the contrary, when the ambient temperature is higher than 15 ℃, the channel address corresponding to the characteristic energy peak decreases with the increase of temperature. The gamma spectrum peak channel address shift can be expressed as a quadratic function of temperature, and further a correction method of gamma spectrum shift based on ambient temperature change is proposed. It is verified by laboratory experiments on air and water environment that the peak channel address drift of characteristic peak after air environment correction is not more than ±2 channels, and the peak channel address drift after water environment correction is not more than ±3 channels, which meets the requirements of temperature drift correction for continuous measurement of gamma spectrum by the sensor.

Effects of different atmospheric stability classification and diffusion parameter schemes on CALPUFF simulation results and a turbulence fitting scheme BAO Xinjie, YANG Zongzhen, TAO Naigui, ZHANG Xiaofeng, WANG Yichuan RADIATION PROTECTION    2023, 43 (2): 145-154.   Abstract （38）      PDF（pc） （5433KB）（23）       Knowledge map    Save The numerical simulation results of three diffusion parameter schemes in CALPUFF model under different atmospheric stability conditions are verified by tracer tests at a coastal nuclear power plant site. The results show that the simulation effect of the measured turbulence scheme is less affected by the classification results of atmospheric stability, and the comprehensive evaluation result is the best. Under the condition that the classification results of atmospheric stability simulated by the model are consistent with those based on the measured data of the weather tower. And the simulation results of the micrometeorological scheme are slightly worse than that of the measured turbulence scheme, and are better than that of the PG scheme. Under the adverse weather conditions that the EIA focuses, the simulated results of the micrometeorological or PG scenarios may differ from the actual concentration distribution results. In order to solve the problem that it is difficult to obtain long-term measured turbulence data, the measured data of meteorological tower used for classification of atmospheric stability and the turbulence observation data of corresponding period were fitted, and the standard deviation equation of turbulence pulsation under various atmospheric stability conditions was constructed. The statistical results show that the fitting turbulence scheme combined with the atmospheric stability index has a good simulation effect, which has a certain practical significance for improving the atmospheric diffusion simulation effect for nuclear power plants.

Electromagnetic exposure safety assessment of electrostatic discharge through numerical simulation SONG Yanxia RADIATION PROTECTION    2023, 43 (4): 289-299.   Abstract （38）      PDF（pc） （9240KB）（23）       Knowledge map    Save Based on the numerical calculation method on electromagnetic dosimetry and according to the typical electrostatic discharge (ESD) current waveform specified by IEC (International Electro technical Commission), the first harmonic component with the strongest energy and the full harmonic components in the frequency domain after Fourier transform were used as electromagnetic radiation sources, the electromagnetic effect of human biological tissue when the human body is located at different positions of the exposure source is simulated and analyzed, and the numerical simulation results were compared with those recommended by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP). The results showed that the electric field intensity (E), magnetic field intensity (H) and specific absorptivity (SAR) decreased with the distance from the exposure source, and the distribution of electric field lines became more uniform with the increasing distance; The electric field intensity attenuates rapidly after entering the head, and the brain has a certain shielding effect on the space electromagnetic field; The SAR peak values and distributions in coronal and sagittal planes are almost the same at different positions in the human head, and the SAR peak values in sagittal and coronal planes are 15.7 times of those in axial planes; The peak of head SAR at different positions appeared at the skull, and the SAR in the brain was the smallest and distributed symmetrically with respect to x and y; Under the condition of multi frequency exposure, the whole-body SAR value of the exposure source located at 1m (position A) on the right side of the human body exceeded the basic limit of ICNIRP, while the whole-body SAR value of the exposure source located at 5 m (position B) on the right side of the human body and beyond did not exceeded the basic limit of ICNIRP. The human body should be located 5 m away from the exposure source to reduce the exposure risk. The research results can provide a numerical reference for human ESD electromagnetic exposure protection, and can provide a theoretical basis for the formulation of ESD electromagnetic exposure related standards.
