Abstract

The Korean Atomic Energy Research Institute is currently planning the construction of an Underground Research Tunnel to carry out research and development related to the disposal of high-level wastes from nuclear reactors used to generate electrical power. This paper discusses the excavation methods used to construct the Canadian Underground Research Laboratory and their application in planning for the construction of a similar underground laboratory and eventually an underground repository for high-level wastes in Korea.

한국원자력연구소는 현재 국내 원전에서 발생하는 고준위폐기물의 처분과 관련된 연구개발을 위해 지하연구시설을 계획 중에 있다. 본 논문은 캐나다 URL 에서의 건설에 적용된 굴착기법과 향후 국내의 유사한 지하연구시설과 향후에 추진될 고준위폐기물 처분장에 대한 적용에 대해 논의하고자 한다
