We had passed through a serious water pollution with a rapid urbanization and industrialization in the 1960's. Seoul Chunggyechun Sewage Disposal System set uP in 1966 and finished in 1976, as the first sewage disposal system in Korea, had covered only 4 percentage of the sewage disposal system per capita for 10 years. Through holding the Asian Games in 1986 and the Olympic Games in 1988, we expanded the sewage disposal system so that it became increased 18 percentage of the population in 1986. Finally, we have installed about 60 sewage disposal system by 1994 for a large environmental investment which was critically caused by "Phenol Accident in Nakdong River" . Now, the sewage disposal system per capita covers 42 percentage and the activity for water quality improvement is going on rapidly. The method of sewage disposal is mainly "activated sludge process" . However, the technical ability for the sewage disposal has largely developed since 1991 so the "extended aeration process" is used in Po$\v{u}$n, Tangyang, Mun$\v{u}$i, "rotating biological contact process" in Onch$\v{u}$ng, Pukok, and "oxidation ditch process" in K$\v{o}$ch'ana.

국내 원자력발전소에서 발생하는 사용후핵연료의 제원 및 방출시점 등 특성과 현재의 고준위 방사성폐기물 기본계획에 근거한 처분시나리오를 도출하여 기존 심층 처분시스템을 바탕으로 처분효율과 경제성을 향상시킨 개선된 처분시스템을 제안하였다. 이를 위하여 국내 원자력발전소에서 발생하는 사용후핵연료의 길이에 따라 2종류의 처분용기 개념을 도출하고, 사용후핵연료 발생 년도와 현재의 기본계획에 근거한 처분 시나리오 설정에 따른 처분시점에서의 냉각기간을 고려하여 처분용기내 수용 가능한 붕괴열 량을 결정하였다. 그리고 2종류의 처분용기에 대한 처분시스템과 결정된 붕괴열을 바탕으로 열적 안정성 분석을 통하여 제안된 처분시스템의 설계요건에 대한 적합성 여부를 확인하고, 처분효율을 평가하였다. 개선된 처분시스템은 기존 처분시스템에 비하여 처분면적은 약 20% 감소되고 처분밀도는 약 20% 향상됨을 확인하였고, 처분용기와 완충재 재료도 상당량 절감됨을 확인하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 향후 사용후핵연료 관리정책 수립 및 실제 사업을 위한 처분시스템 설계를 위한 자료로 활용될 수 있다.

경수로 사용 후 핵연료의 파이로 공정 처리를 통해 예상되는 고준위폐기물 처분시스템을 대상으로 열적 성능평가를 수행하였다. 처분방식으로 수평 처분터널 처분시스템을 고려하였다. 수평 처분터널 간격 25 미터와 처분공 간격 2미터를 대상으로 평가하였다. 세라믹폐기물 수평 처분터널 주변의 다양한 위치에 대해 장기간 동안 열 해석을 통하여 온도 변화를 해석하였다. 열 해석은 ABAQUS 프로그램을 이용하였다. 열 해석 결과에 의하면 처분시스템 중 어느 부분에서도 최고 온도가 $100^{\circ}$를 넘지 않아, 열적 성능 기준을 만족하였다. 열 해석 결과에 따르면, 처분시스템 중앙에 위치한 처분용기 주변이 외곽에 위치한 것의 주변보다 최고 온도 기준으로 약 $3^{\circ}$정도 높았다. 이것은 처분시스템 설계시 가능한 외곽에 위치한 처분용기가 많도록 설계하는 것이 처분밀도를 향상시킬 수 있음을 시사하였다.

Two different kinds of nuclear power plants produce a substantial amount of spent fuel annually in Korea. According to the current projection, it is expected that around 60,000 MtU of spent fuel will be produced from 36 PWR and APR reactors and 4 CANDU reactors by the end of 2089. In 2006, KAERI proposed a conceptual design of a geological disposal system (called KRS, Korean Reference disposal System for spent fuel) for PWR and CANDU spent fuel, as a product of a 4-year research project from 2003 to 2006. The major result of the research was that it was feasible to construct a direct disposal system for 20,000 MtU of PWR spent fuels and 16,000 MtU of CANDU spent fuel in the Korean peninsula. Recently, KAERI and MEST launched a project to develop an advanced fuel cycle based on the pyroprocessing of PWR spent fuel to reduce the amount of HLW and reuse the valuable fissile material in PWR spent fuel. Thus, KAERI has developed a geological disposal system for high-level waste from the pyroprocessing of PWR spent fuel since 2007. However, since no decision was made for the CANDU spent fuel, KAERI improved the disposal density of KRS by introducing several improved concepts for the disposal canister. In this paper, the geological disposal systems developed so far are briefly outlined. The amount and characteristics of spent fuel and HLW, 4 kinds of disposal canisters, the characteristics of a buffer with domestic Ca-bentonite, and the results of a thermal design of deposition holes and disposal tunnels are described. The different disposal systems are compared in terms of their disposal density.

사용후핵연료 최종처분을 위해 심층처분은 세계적으로 가장 선호되는 방법이다. 이를 위해 선진국들은 자국 여건에 가장 잘 부합되는 고유의 처분시스템 개발에 주력하고 있거나, 일부 확보하여 상용처분사업에 적용하고 있다. 현재까지 알려진 대부분의 심층처분시스템은 공학적 및 천연방벽으로 구성된 다중방벽시스템이다. 이들 처분시스템은 수 천 년 ~ 수 십만 년 이상의 성능기간이 대하여 성능 안전성의 입증이 확인되어야 후속 상용처분사업에 적용 가능하다. 입증 현안과제들은 처분시스템의 상능 안전성 확보를 위해 수행되는 모든 행위 즉, 조사, 분석, 해석, 평가, 설계, 건설, 운영 및 폐쇄에 이르는 전 과정에 있어서 추진 과정과 결과에 대한 실현 가능성과 실증에 필요한 내용들이 해당된다. 이를 위해 대부분의 선진국들은 자국내 분포하는 대표적인 선호암종 지역에서 지하연구시설(URL)을 건설하여 실증 시연프로그램을 수행하거나 완성단계에 있다. 이 과정과 결과들은 후속되는 최종처분장 부지선정 과정에 평가기준으로 활용될 것이며, 최종처분시설의 성능 안전성평가에 필수적으로 적용하게 된다. 지하연구시설은 또한 규제-일반대중-전문가 등 다양한 이해당사자들로 하여금 심층처분의 안전성 수준에 대한 이해제고와 토론의 마당으로서 핵심적인 역할과 기능을 할 것으로 기대된다.

An optimum disposal plan of disused sealed radioactive sources (DSRSs) should be established to ensure long-term disposal safety at the low- and intermediate-level radioactive waste (LILW) disposal facility in Gyeongju. In this study, an optimum disposal system was suggested and preliminary post-closure safety assessment was performed. The DSRSs disposal system was composed of a rock cavern and near surface disposal facilities at the Gyeongju LILW disposal facility. The assessment was conducted using GoldSim program, and probabilistic assessment and sensitivity analysis were implemented to evaluate the uncertainties in the input parameters of natural barriers. Deterministic and probabilistic calculations indicated that the maximum dose was below the regulatory limits ($0.1mSvyr^{-1}$ for the normal scenario, $1mSvyr^{-1}$ for the well scenario). It was concluded that the DSRSs disposal system would maintain environmental safety over a long-time. Moreover, the partition coefficient of Np in host rock, Darcy velocity in host rock, and density of the host rock were the most sensitive parameters in predicting exposure dose in the safety assessment.

Based on the current high-level radioactive waste management basic plan and the analysis results of spent nuclear fuel characteristics, such as dimensions and decay heat, an improved geological disposal concept for spent nuclear fuel from domestic nuclear power plants was proposed in this study. To this end, disposal container concepts for spent nuclear fuel from two types of reactors, pressurized water reactor (PWR) and Canada deuterium uranium (CANDU), considering the dimensions and interim storage method, were derived. In addition, considering the cooling time of the spent nuclear fuel at the time of disposal, according to the current basic plan-based scenarios, the amount of decay heat capacity for a disposal container was determined. Furthermore, improved disposal concepts for each disposal container were proposed, and analyses were conducted to determine whether the design requirements for the temperature limit were satisfied. Then, the disposal efficiencies of these disposal concepts were compared with those of the existing disposal concepts. The results indicated that the disposal area was reduced by approximately 20%, and the disposal density was increased by more than 20%.

High level radioactive wastes, such as spent fuels generated from nuclear power plant, will be disposed in a deep geological repository. To maintain the integrity of the disposal canister and to carry out the process effectively, the emplacement process for the canister system in borehole of disposal tunnel should be well defined. In this study, the concept of the disposal canister emplacement process for deep geological disposal was established. To do this, the spent fuel arisings and disposal rate were reviewed. Also, not only design requirements, such canister and disposal depth but also preliminary repository layout concept were reviewed. Based on the requirements and the other bases, the canister emplacement process in the borehole of the disposal tunnel was established. The established concept of the disposal canister emplacement process will be improved continuously with the future studies. And this concept can be effectively used in implementing the reference repository system of our own case.
