Abstract

This study determined the photostimulated luminescence(PSL), thermoluminescence(TL), and electron spin resonance(ESR) properties of wheat and corn irradiated with 0-10 kGy of gamma-ray or electron-beam. PSL values of both irradiated grains, regardless of radiation source, were 241-429 photons/sec in nonirradiated samples(negative values, defined as ${\leq}700$ photons/60 sec) and 5,528-40,870 photons/60 sec in irradiated ones(positive values, defined as ${\geq}5,000$ photons/sec), thereby distinguishing irradiated from nonirradiated samples. The TL glow curves($TL_1$) peaked at around $300^{\circ}C$ in nonirradiated samples, but at about $180^{\circ}C$ in irradiated samples, at high intensities, regardless of radiation source. The TL ratios($TL_1/TL_2$) calculated to strengthen $TL_1$ data reliability were less than 0.03 for nonirradiated samples and over 0.20 for irradiated materials, in good agreement with threshold values for nonirradiated(${\leq}0.1$) and irradiated(${\geq}0.1$) samples. ESR analysis was not applicable in identification of irradiated wheat and corn. Electron-beam irradiation resulted in higher PSL and TL signals than did gamma-rays, at the same applied doses.

곡류 중 수입이 활발한 밀과 옥수수에 대하여 국제적으로 이용이 허가된 감마선과 전자선 에너지를 총 흡수선량 $0{\sim}10\;kGy$를 조사한 다음 photostimulated luminescence(PSL), thermoluminescence(TL) 및 electron spin resonance(ESR)를 분석하여 조사여부 검지 특성을 확인하였다. PSL 분석 결과, 두 시료 모두 조사선원에 관계없이 비조사구에서는 $241{\sim}249$ photon count/sec 값으로 700(negative) 이하의 값을, 1 kGy 이상 조사구에서는 $5528{\sim}40870$ photon count/sec 값으로 5000(positive) 이상의 값을 나타내어 비조사구와 조사구의 스크리닝이 가능하였다. TL 분석에서는 두 시료 모두 조사선원에 무관하게 비조사구는 $300^{\circ}C$ 부근에서 매우 낮은 강도의 glow curve($TL_1$)를 나타낸 반면, 조사구에서는 $180^{\circ}C$ 부근에서 방사선 조사 유래의 glow curve($TL_1$)가 관찰되었다. 한편 $TL_1$ 결과의 검증을 위하여 재조사에 의한 TL ratio($TL_1/TL_2$)를 산출한 결과, 비조사구에서는 0.03 이하를, 1 kGy 이상 조사구에서는 0.2 이상의 값을 나타내어 비조사구와 조사구의 threshold value 차이로써 곡류 시료의 방사선 조사여부 판별이 가능하였다. 밀과 옥수수 시료에 대한 ESR 분석 결과, 방사선 조사 유래의 특이한 signal은 확인되지 않았다. 밀과 옥수수의 조사여부 판별에서 동일 선량에서의 PSL 및 TL signal은 감마선에 비해 전자선에서 높은 강도를 나타내었다.
