초록

현재 기준개념으로 개발하여 상용화 단계에 있는 심층 동굴 처분기술에 대한 대안으로서 지질학적 조건이 더 안정적인 지하 3~5 km의 심도에 사용후핵연료를 포함한 고준위폐기물을 처분하는 심부시추공 처분기술의 국내 적용 가능성을 예비 평가 하였다. 이를 위하여 심부시추공 처분개념의 기술적 적용성 분석에 필요한 국내 기반암 분포특성 및 심부시추공 처분부지 적합성 평가 기술 분석과 대구경 심부시추기술을 평가하였다. 이들 분석결과를 바탕으로 심부시추공 처분시스템 설계 기준 및 요건에 적합한 심부시추공 처분용기 및 밀봉시스템 개념을 설정하여 예비 기준 심부시추공 처분 개념을 도출하였다. 그리고 도출된 예비 기준 처분시스템에 대하여 열적 안정성 및 그래픽 처분환경에서의 처분공정 모사 등 다양한 성능평가를 수행하고 이들을 종합하여 심부시추공 처분시스템의 국내 적용성에 대하여 다양한 관점에서의 예비평가를 수행하였다. 결론적으로, 심부시추공 처분시스템은 처분심도와 단순한 방법으로 인하여 안전성 및 경제적 타당성 측면에서 많은 장점이 있지만, 불확실성을 줄이고 인허가를 획득하기 위해서는 이 기술에 대한 현장실증이 필수적이다. 본 연구결과는 사용후핵연료 관리 국가정책 수립을 위한 공학적 근거자료로 활용이 가능하며, 심부시추공 처분기술에 관심을 갖는 방사성폐기물 관리 이해당사자들에게 필요한 정보자료로 제공될 수 있다.

As an alternative to deep geological disposal technology, which is considered as a reference concept, the domestic applicability of deep borehole disposal technology for high level radioactive waste, including spent fuel, has been preliminarily evaluated. Usually, the environment of deep borehole disposal, at a depth of 3 to 5 km, has more stable geological and geo-hydrological conditions. For this purpose, the characteristics of rock distribution in the domestic area were analyzed and drilling and investigation technologies for deep boreholes with large diameter were evaluated. Based on the results of these analyses, design criteria and requirements for the deep borehole disposal system were reviewed, and preliminary reference concept for a deep borehole disposal system, including disposal container and sealing system meeting the criteria and requirements, was developed. Subsequently, various performance assessments, including thermal stability analysis of the system and simulation of the disposal process, were performed in a 3D graphic disposal environment. With these analysis results, the preliminary evaluation of the domestic applicability of the deep borehole disposal system was performed from various points of view. In summary, due to disposal depth and simplicity, the deep borehole disposal system should bring many safety and economic benefits. However, to reduce uncertainty and to obtain the assent of the regulatory authority, an in-situ demonstration of this technology should be carried out. The current results can be used as input to establish a national high-level radioactive waste management policy. In addition, they may be provided as basic information necessary for stakeholders interested in deep borehole disposal technology.
