한국원자력연구소에서는 80년대 말부터 1996년까지 저준위 방사성 영구처분 연구사업을 수행한 바 있으며 2000년부터는 국가원자력중장기연구개발사업의 일환으로 한국원자력연구소와 한국수력원자력주식회사가 동굴 처분 관련 안전성 평가 연구를 공동 수행하고 있다. 본 기술 보고에서는 그 동안 개발된 연구 개발 성과들을 중심으로 중저준위 방사성폐기물 처분장 장기 안전성 평가에서 고려되어야 할 요소들과 현재까지 정립된 안전성 평가 방안들에 관하여 정리하였다.

Radioisotope tracer experiments on the distribution and the binding of radionuclides to proteins in bivalve were carried out in order to gain further information on biochemical behavior of radionuclides in marine bivalve, Gomphina melanaegis. The radioactivities (cpm/g) of $^{65}Zn\;and\;^{54}Mn$ after 7 days exposure were highly concentrated in liver and kidney in comparison to soft parts. The gel filtration profile of $^{65}Zn$ in liver and kidney showed three elution peaks, while $^{54}Mn$ showed two peaks in liver and three peaks in kidney. On the gel filtration of $^{137}Cs$ in liver and kidney, most of $^{137}Cs$ were eluted on one peak. Thus, it was considered that each radionuclide was bound to different proteins in liver and kidney of bivalve.

The conditions are obtained for the decomposition of solid radioactive wastes, including ion exchange resin, zeolite, charcoal, and sludge from nuclear power plant. In the process of decomposing the radioactive wastes was used the microwave acid digestion method with mixed acid. The solution after acid digestion by the following method was colorless and transparent. Each solution was analyzed with ICP-AES and AAS and the recovery yield for 5 different elements added into the simulated radioactive wastes were over $94{\%}$. The elemental analysis of destructive low and medium level radioactive wastes by the proposed microwave acid digestion conditions concerning the chemical characteristics of each radioactive waste are expected to be useful basic data for development of optimal glass formulation.

Korea Radioactive Waste Agency (KORAD) began to operate the low and intermediate level radioactive waste disposal facility in Gyeongju and to transport the radioactive waste containing radioactive isotopes from Daejeon to the disposal facility for the first time at 2015. For this radioactive waste transportation, in this study, radiological impact assessment is carried out for workers and public. The dose rate to workers and public during the transportation is estimated with consideration of the transportation scenarios and is compared with the Korean regulatory limit. The sensitivity analysis is carried out by considering both the variation of release ratios of the radioactive isotopes from the waste and the variation of the distances between the radioactive waste drum and worker during loading and unloading of radioactive waste. As for all the transportation scenarios, radiological impacts for workers and public have met the regulatory limits.

The purpose of site monitoring and investigation is to offer the basic data for performance assessment and design of low- and intermediate-level radioactive waste(LILW) disposal facility by monitoring variations of main site properties continually in the stage of pre-operation, operation and post-closure. Main contents of site monitoring are as follows. In the stage of pre-operation, suitability evaluation for disposal facility and monitoring for constructing and operating disposal facility are performed. In the operation period, monitoring is performed including surroundings to research the influence to environment with operating disposal facility and operate safely and efficiently. In the post-closure period, monitoring about major site properties is performed to prevent the effect of radioactive waste from disposal facility and to secure long-term safety.

Soil can be contaminated by radioactive materials due to nuclide leakage following unexpected situations during the decommissioning of a nuclear power plant. Soil decontamination is necessary if contaminated land is to be reused for housing or industry. The present study classifies various soil remediation technologies into biological, physics/chemical and thermal treatment and analyzes their principles and treatment materials. Among these methods, this study selects technologies and categorizes the economics, applicability and technical characteristics of each technology into three levels of high, medium and low by weighting the various factors. Based on this analysis, the most applicable soil decontamination technology was identified.
