Abstract
The proposed regulation for low and intermediate level radioactive waste disposal facility, scheduled to be revised, recommends that the waste generator should verify the radioactive waste conforms to the disposal requirements before disposing of it. According to the regulation, the radionuclide concentration of the radioactive waste, and its physical and chemical characteristics and safety must be confirmed prior to the disposal of low and intermediate level radioactive wastes, and the waste generator is required to deliver this information to the disposal facility operator. In addition, the disposal facility operator must assess the safety of the disposal site to establish the SWAC (Site Specific Waste Acceptance Criteria) in consideration of the characteristics of the site, whereas the waste generator must comply with the criteria in managing, disposing of and delivering low and intermediate level radioactive wastes. To abide by the afore-mentioned regulation and criteria, the waste generator must verify that the radioactive wastes to be disposed of are suitable for disposal before they are transported to the disposal facility, and to this end a radioactive waste certification program must be developed. This study conducted an in-depth analysis of the radioactive waste certification programs enforced in countries advanced in atomic energy to develop a draft of a certification program applicable to local power plants, and the program is currently applied as pilot to Uljin Power Plants No. 1 & 2 to prove its applicability. This study is going to analyze the results of the pilot application with a view to developing a radioactive waste certification program suitable to local conditions.
