현재 추진중인 중,저준위 방사성폐기물 영구 처분장은 현시점에서 적용중인 처리기술외에는 더 이상의 기술개발을 고려치 않고 폐기물 발생량을 추정하여 이를 근거로 하였는데, 당 연구소에서 개발중인 감용처리기술이 적용된다는 가정아래 향후 방사성 폐기물 관리계획을 검토하였다. 국내에서 발생되는 방사성 폐기물의 대부분을 차지하는 원자력 발전소 운전으로 인해 발생되는 폐기물에 대해서만 감용처리기술을 적용해도 해체폐기물이 본격적으로 발생되는 2018년 이전까지는 그 발생량이 55%까지 감소함을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 초기건설용량 25만 드럼규모의 처분장에 대해 그 운영기간은 7년이상 연장할 수 있을 것으로 예상되었다.

원자력시설을 운영함에 있어 방사성폐기물의 발생은 필연적이며, 형상 또한 다양하게 발생 되고 있으며 압축성 폐기물의 처리방법으로는 국내 전원자력발전소는 일반적인 압축기의 원리를 이용하여 체적을 감용(Reduction)처리 하고 있으나 폐기물에 의한 탄성(Back-Spring), 폐기물 사이의 공간(Void-Space)등으로 감용을 크게 충족시키기 어려운 현실이다. 본 연구에서는 다양한 형태의 방서성폐기물을 진공압축 팩(Vacuum Shrink-Pack)에 수용 후 진공을 걸어 폐기물고유의 부피를 감용($50{\sim}80%$) 처리 후 압축시(저압 압축기) 도출된 미비점을 토대로 감용비가 크게 향상된 진공 압축기를 개발하기위한 실증 실험을 소개하고자한다.

원자력발전소에서는 운전 및 보수에 수반하여 여러 가지 형태의 방사성 폐기물이 발생한다. 이들 방사성폐기물의 처분을 고려할 때, 발생량을 되도록 감소시키고 또 어떻게 감용시키는가가 원자력추진상 중요한 과제이다. 다음은 근년에 감용처리를 목적으로 개발된 또는 개발중인 기술의 소개이다.

As a promising method for the volume reduction of the low-level liquid waste, the pervaporation process was studied using a cellulose acetate membrane. Experimental results showed that the pervaporation method, usually applied to separation of organic materials, has a good decontamination effect for the volume reduction of liquid waste and the evaporation rate of water in this process was markedly faster than that of natural evaporation method, a wide-used process for the volume reduction of liquid waste. Depending on the feed solution conditions, the pervaporation characteristics were evaluated by the experimental results and the optimum conditions for preparation of the cellulose acetate membrane were established to increase the pervaporation flux through the membrane.

The amount of radioactive waste is expected to be increased continuously because of the rapid growth of the domestic nuclear industry, full power operation of the HANARO reactor and the increased research activities of the nuclear fuel cycle. Accordingly the efforts are focused to achieve the handling of radioactive waste in safe and reduce the volume of radioactive waste. The PIEF is carrying out the PIE (post irradiation examination) of spent fuel rods related to the identification of cause defect and evaluation of integration safety. This study describes the technologies and experiences of compaction, shredding and cutting of the solid radioactive waste used in the PIE. The quantity of the high level waste was reduced by 1/12 using the 100-ton compressor installed in hot-cell. Also middle and low level waste was reduced by 1/8 using the 60-ton compressor installed in intervention area. Plastic drums were shredded by crusher to be compacted in the ratio of 1/5, used filters in the ratio of 1/6 and the number of drum is also reduced by cutting procedure for the non-volatile materials such as metal.

원자력발전소 계획예방정비시 발생하는 방사성폐기물 작업공정 및 특성상 단기간에 방사성폐기물이 집중적으로 발생한다. 계획예방정비 기간중 발생하는 방사성폐기물의 종류 및 내용물은 약$60{\sim}80\%$ 이상이 철재류, 비닐류, 면류, 종이류가 차지하고 있다. 기존 방사성폐기물에 대한 감용 및 재활용등 처리방법을 개선하고 일련의 작업공정을 표준화할 필요성이 있었다. 이에 따라 계획예방정비시 발생하는 방사성폐기물의 종류 및 특성을 고려하여 작업절차를 개선하고 표준화 공정을 적용한 사례 및 실적을 소개하고자 한다.

The purpose of this paper is to evaluate several leading options for the management of radioactive metallic waste against a set of general criteria including safety, cost effectiveness, radiological dose to workers and volume reduction. Several options for managing metallic waste generated from decommissioning are evaluated in this paper. These options include free release, controlled reuse, and direct disposal of radioactive metallic waste. Each of these options may involve treatment of the metal waste for volume reduction by physical cutting or melting. A multi-criteria decision analysis was performed using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to rank the options. Melting radioactive metallic waste to produce metal ingots with controlled reuse or free release is found to be the most effective option.

By the introduction of cleaning and drying processes, thermal extrusion system for the volume reduction of used polystyrene buoys was developed. It was tested in the costal area for the determination of operational reliability. By the removal of oyster shells and cleaning of salt, waste polystyrene buoys was changed to the raw material of plastics. The lower cost of one-tenth compared with that of the outer request treatment is promising the practical use of waste buoys' volume reduction system.
