Abstract

In order to manage the uncertainty about the evaluation and analysis of the human intrusion scenario of the Gyeongju Low and Intermediate Level Radioactive Waste(LILW) disposal facility, the calculation result by the GENII code was assessed using the RESRAD code, which was developed to evaluate the radiation effects of contaminated soil. The post-drilling scenario was selected as a human intrusion scenario into the near-surface disposal facility to analyze the uncertainty of the modeling by identifying any limitations in the simulation of each code and comparing the evaluation results under the same input data conditions. The results revealed a difference in the migration of some nuclides between the codes, but confirmed that the dose trends at the end of the post-closure control period were similar for all exposure pathways. Based on the results of the dose evaluation predicted by RESRAD, sensitivity analysis on the input factors was performed and major input factors were derived. The uncertainty of the modeling results and the input factors were analyzed and the reliability of the safety evaluation results was confirmed. The results of this study can be applied to the implementation 'Safety Case Program' for the Gyeongju LILW disposal facility.

중 저준위방사성폐기물 표층처분시설 인간침입시나리오의 '평가/해석에 대한 불확실성'의 관리를 위해 GENII를 이용한 평가결과를 오염토양에 대한 방사선영향평가를 위해 개발된 RESRAD를 이용하여 검증하였다. 중저준위방사성폐기물 표층처분시설의 인간침입시나리오로 시추후거주시나리오를 선정하여 각 코드의 현상 모사에서 발생하는 한계점을 파악하고 동일한 입력데이터 조건에서 두 코드의 평가결과를 비교분석함으로써 모델링의 불확실성을 분석하였다. 평가결과 각 코드에서 일부 핵종의 거동모사에 대한 차이는 있었으나 폐쇄후관리기간 이후 선량평가 결과 모든 피폭경로에 대한 경향이 유사함을 확인하였다. 또한 RESRAD에서 확인한 선량평가 결과를 바탕으로 입력인자에 대한 민감도 분석을 수행하고 주요입력인자를 도출하였다. 이를 통해 모델링 결과 및 입력인자에 대한 불확실성을 분석하고 안전성평가 결과에 대한 신뢰성을 확인하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 중저준위방사성폐기물 처분시설의 Safety Case 구축에 활용될 수 있다.
