This study aims to analyze the current status and challenges of the records disposal freeze system and explore strategies for its effective utilization during disasters. The research methodology encompassed an analysis of existing literature alongside theoretical investigations into the concept of disaster records, the significance of the records disposal freeze system, and its necessity in managing disaster-related documentation. A comparative case study approach was employed, examining disposal freeze orders and official documents from the United States, Australia, and South Korea. Interviews were conducted to gather insight from practitioners and experts in the field, focusing on the necessity, challenges, and potential improvements of the records disposal freeze system. The interviews corroborated the essential role of the records disposal freeze system in managing disaster records while highlighting various issues within the current framework and suggesting areas for enhancement. In conclusion, based on the comprehensive analysis of theoretical foundations, international practices, and expert opinions, this study proposed five improvement measures.

This study aims to introduce the system of records disposal freeze and to draw tasks and propose measure to establish it in the public sector in Korea. First of all, it reviewed the korean regulations and practices related to disposal freeze and suggestions in research paper. While analysing the disposal freeze systems of US and Australia, it identified that the systems were principally run by the National Archives. Thus, 2 cases analysis were conducted in each country. Based on these, this paper studied what should be considered and what could be proposed for the development of the system of records disposal freeze in terms of the regulation, implementations, standard notice statement as well as procedures for korean public records.

Trust in government agencies is closely related to accountability. The key strategy to increase public accountability is to document the processes and outcomes of their key tasks and policies adequately. The purpose of this study is to suggest a redesign of the records appraisal policy to enhance the accountability of government agencies. Applying the newly introduced concept of appraisal in ISO 15489-1: 2016, the relationship between accountability and appraisal is articulated and the problems of records appraisal systems in terms of accountability are analyzed. Based on this analysis, it suggests the principles for reforming the appraisal policies well as the redesign of the current disposition authorities as a key tool for appraisal, and the introduction of records disposal freeze system.

The concrete structure is being considered for the main engineered barrier of low and intermediate level radwaste disposal facility. Concrete of low permeability can minimize infiltration of water and effectively prevent release of nuclide to ecosystem. But if concrete degrades, structural stability of disposal structure will decrease while permeability increase, resulting in increased possibility of nuclide release due to water infiltration. Therefore disposal concrete structure degradation shall be minimized to maintain capacity of nuclide isolation. The typical causes of concrete structure degradation are sulfide attack, reinforcement corrosion due to chloride attack, leaching of calcium hydroxide, alkali-aggregate reaction and repeated freezing-thawing. The common cause of these degradation processes is infiltration of water or adverse chemicals into concrete. Based on the study of these degradation characteristics and mechanisms of concrete structure, the methodology of design and service life evaluation of concrete structure as an engineered barrier are reviewed to ensure its long-term durability.

The Records Disposal Freeze Program will be introduced in June 2020 with the revision of the Public Records Act of South Korea. In the study, the issues of the program were identified through the analysis of domestic cases and the programs of other countries, and the improvement plans on the issues were suggested. For the analysis of the programs, seven factors which should be presented to implement the program were derived from the notices of disposal freeze by National Archives of Australia. Based on the factors, the programs were analyzed; the programs of South Korea, the United States of America, United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand. As a result of analysis and comparison of the programs, five issues of Korean program were derived. The experts interviews were conducted to understand the perception and the perspective on the program of records managers and archivists. The improvement plans for the program of South Korea were suggested based on the analysis and comparison of the programs of five countries and experts interviews.

The crack presented in concrete structures causes a structural defect, the durability decrease, and external damages etc. Therefore, it is necessary to improve durability through the effort to control the crack. Fluosilicic acid($H_2SiF_6$) is recovered as aqueous solution which absorbs $SiF_4$ produced from the manufacturing of industrial-graded $H_3PO_4$ or HF. Generally, fluosilicates prepared by the reaction between $H_2SiF_6$ and metal salts. Addition of fluosilicates to cement endows odd properties through unique chemical reaction with the fresh and hardened cement. Mix proportions for experiment were modulated at 0.45 of water to cement ratio and $0.0{\sim}2.0%$ of adding ratio of fluosilicate salt based inorganic compound. To evaluate correlation of concrete strength and adding ratio of fluosilicate salt based inorganic compound, the tests were performed about design strength(21, 24, 27 MPa) with 0.5% of adding ratio of fluosilicate salt based inorganic compound. Applications of fluosilicate salt based inorganic compound to reduce cracks resulted from plastic and drying shrinkage, to improve durability are presented in this paper. Durability was evaluated as neutralization, chloride ion penetration depth, freezing thawing resistant tests and weight loss according reinforcement corrosion. It is ascertained that the concrete added fluosilicate salt based inorganic compound showed m ability to reduce the total area and maximum crack width significantly as compared non-added concrete. In addition, the durability of concrete improved because of resistance to crack and watertightness by packing role of fluosilicate salt based inorganic compound obtained and pozzolanic reaction of soluble $SiO_2$ than non-added concrete.
