치료용 131I 투여 환자 배출물 관리 연구

Abstract

The domestic and foreign directions of regulation on the management of therapeutic 131Iadministered patients and also the comparison between the measurement results of the temporarypoint-of-view and the emission control standards in Korea were analyzed. Considering the visitschedule of outpatients in the management of patient wastes that focus on treatment wards,all institutes have established effluents management plans and developed standard regulatoryrequirements that can be used as regulatory examination guidelines. The significance and limitationsof the effluents control standards applied to the management of therapeutic 131I administered patientsin Korea were examined and compared with the U.S. effluents control standards. In internationalrecommendations such as the European, IAEA, and ICRP, the benefits of not storing patient urineare far greater. In Korea, it is mandatory to install private toilets and storage tanks in all treatmenthospitals. In 2015, it was planned to evaluate and manage the effluent concentrations of therapeutic131I administered patients considering all outpatients at all 131I treatment hospitals. Regulatoryagencies have drawn up regulatory guidelines that include regulatory stances, therapeutic 131Iadministered patient’s effluent assessment methods, and drainage facility management to be appliedin care and testing.
