초록

Waste acceptance criteria (WAC) for disposal of very low level waste (VLLW), which is generated in large quantities during decommissioning of nuclear facilities should be developed. For the WAC development, it is required to investigate current status to develop WAC for disposal of VLLW. The objective of the present study was to investigate radioactive waste classification and WAC for disposal of VLLW from decommissioning of nuclear facilities. Each country developed its own system for the classification of radioactive waste. Therefore, the classification system for radioactive waste in each country was analyzed to review its WAC of the radioactive waste, which is equivalent to the VLLW in the Korea waste classification system. The category of the VLLW in the waste classification systems of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and the United Kingdom (UK) was similar to the category of the VLLW in the waste classification systems of Korea. For the United States(US), the category of Class A was similar to the VLLW in the Korea system. The IAEA provided the general guidance for the WAC based on the safety assessment of disposal system. The US and the UK developed the WAC based on national radioactive waste disposal policy and characteristics of disposal facilities and radioactive waste in addition to the IAEA general guidance. Therefore, the WAC for disposal of VLLW in Korea should be developed by considering the national radioactive waste disposal policy, characteristics of disposal facilities, and the IAEA guidance. This study results will contribute to establishment of national management system of radioactive waste.
