The decommissioning of a nuclear power plant generates large amounts of radioactive waste, which is of several types. Radioactive concrete powder is classified as low-level waste, which can be disposed of in a landfill. However, its safe disposal in a landfill requires that it be immobilized by solidification using cement. Herein, a safety assessment on the disposal of solidified radioactive concrete powder waste in a conceptual landfill site is performed using RESRAD. Furthermore, sensitivity analyses of certain selected input parameters are conducted to investigate their impact on exposure doses. The exposure doses are estimated, and the relative impact of each pathway on them during the disposal of this waste is assessed. The results of this study can be used to obtain information for designing a landfill site for the safe disposal of low-level radioactive waste generated from the decommissioning of a nuclear power plant.

Untill to-day the disposal of municipal refuse in Korea is entirely depending on dumping the refuse into concave land except a few case that bring about the secondary pollution by generating insects, offensive odour and the dust blow which cause adverse effects to dwelling community in the vicinity. It is widely recognized since Korea is ready to be advanced nation must be carried out the proper way of refuse disposal as meet with the environmental standard and ready to accept by general public. Refuse disposal that is practiced by world wide is known as sanitary landfill although it bears some what the expensive construction and operation costs rather than the plain dumping. The following statement is the construction of sanitary landfill in brief. When one takes a look at the Unites States which has huge territory normaly carry out the refuse disposal by anaerobic improved landfill method while the country has limitted land is experimenting various types of landfill which bring about the earier reuse of completed landfill site and minimise the secondary pollution. The author of this article consider out of several landfill methods the semi aerobic landfill will be widely applied in Korea in coming day, the following article will elaborate little more about the semi aerobic method.

In the past, MSW (Municipal Solid Waste) disposal was typically done by recycling, incineration, or landfilling. In South Korea prior to the late 1950's, land burial was usually accomplished by disposal in an open dump. Currently, with increasing concerns and environmental recognition, MSW disposal and landfilling is more restricted. MSW landfill facilities have been developed with certain design and construction specifications. However, these methods have a space for improvement. MSW landfill facilities follow a step wise approach of design, construction, operation and closure management after use in agreement with established environmental and sanitary standards. This study intends to give a technical guidance for installation and consideration of newly established MSW landfill facilities, and also provide an establishment and regular inspection of MSW landfill facilities.

Although landfill has been heavily relied upon as a final hazardous waste disposal method in Korea, the legal and technical problems associated with the landfill severely hinder proper disposal of hazardous wastes. The single largest legal problem is simply that, in spite of the recent amendments, the law regulating the hazardous waste landfill is yet in its primitive stage that even the lawful landfill sites cannot be regarded safe. The technical problems include improper selection of landfill sites, poor design and construction of landfill facilities, and lack of QA/AC and post-closure cares. These technical problems stem from inexperience and lack of resources. For the reduction of the potential danger from the improper landfills of hazardous wastes, it is an immediate need to further refine the law and to resolve the technical problems.

The objective of this study is to investigate the amount of disposal, the composition of solid wastes and environmental pollution (leachate, ground water) in a solid waste landfill. The results were as follows. 1. The amount of daily disposal in Taejon City is appoximately 1.5kg/c.d with the heat capacities of 2850 - 4200 kcal/kg. 2. The existing leackage treatment plant must be improved, because it has many problems. 3. It is desirable that urban solid wastes should be treated by sanitary landfill, incineration or compost.

Municipal solid waste landfills are unpredictable bioreactors which in cases of mishandling and bad supervision presents numerous risks. The key to municipal waste landfills is to approach them from the point of prevention of the possible consequences, which means using methods of organized waste disposal, and also utilizing landfill gas, as an unavoidable consequence with disposal of municipal solid waste with a high share of biodegradable organic matter. This paper presents an overview about problems of solid municipal waste management, type and composition of waste, and an overview of waste management condition. Further, the problem of landfill and landfill gasses is described with the calculation models of landfill production, as well as the use of the SWM GHG Calculator and LandGEM software on a specific example of gas production for the central zone at Sarajevo landfill "Smiljevici". Main focus of this thesis is the analysis of potentials of greenhouse gas emission reduction measures from the waste management. Overview of the best available techniques in waste management is presented as well as the methodology used for calculations. Scenarios of greenhouse gas emission reduction in waste management were defined so that emissions were calculated using the appropriate model. In the final section of the paper, its description of the problem of collection and utilization the landfill gas at the sanitary landfill "Smiljevici", and implementation of the system for landfill gas collection and solution suggestion for the gasification and exploitation of gas. Energy, environmental and economic benefits can be accomplished by utilizing municipal solid waste as fuel in industry and energy and moreover by utilizing energy generation from landfill gas, which this thesis emphasizes.

The stabilization and reclamation of old disposal sites is becoming more important as significant numbers of disposal sites are closed and abandoned. This technical paper covers an overview of the key issues and methodologies for stabilizing and constructing facilities on old landfills. The slide portion of this presentation also include photographs showing actual construction activities. The key issues that are prevalent in remediating and closing old landfills are : correcting the stormwater flow, leachate breakout, constructing cover caps, controlling landfill gas migration and odors, cleanup groundwater and stabilizing side slopes. Some key techniques for constructing facilities on old landfills include： use of piling, installation of active landfill gas systems, providing LFG barriers under buildings, using utilidors and flexible utility interfaces and designing for site settlement. This Paper provides proven conceptual methods for solving these problems.

세계적으로 폐기물의 발생량이 급증하여 매립지의 숫자가 급증하고 있으나 사용이 완료된 매립지의 처리에 많은 어려움이 있다. 특히, 도시 폐기물 매립지는 인구밀집 지역과의 근접성, 부지개발에 따른 경제적 가치의 급등 등의 이유로 활용 가능한 새로운 건설부지로서 많은 관심이 집중되고 있다. 그러나, 폐기물 매립지반 위에 구조물을 축조할 경우, 특별한 안정처리 및 보강처리를 하지 않은 경우, 지반침하, 구조물에 대한 지지력 확보 등에 문제점이 발생될 수 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 폐기물 매립지반위에 구조물을 축조할 경우, 지오그리드 및 지오셀의 보강 효과를 규명하고자 반복평판재하시험을 수행하여 주요 영향인자인 지지력증가비, 지반계수, 스프링상수, 탄성회복율 등을 평가하였다.

The quantity of waste has been increased due to the increase in population and consumption after industrialization. Accordingly it caused the urban environmental problems, the lack of landfill and the pollution around the landfill. Thus, it is necessary to research the adequate alternative in the long-term. In case of Japan, areas and quantities of landfills at sea are more great than those of landfills in land. And investigating our condition, landfills of the metropolitan area in land are to be fully filled with wastes up to 2020 and be closed. In this research, construction of landfill sites at sea is suggested as the alternative waste disposal method and it is suggested that in our country, the suitable landfill sites of the metropolitan area are the regions around Jangbong-do Island and Muei-do Island. It is expected that the best way to transport wastes is to transport through Kyungin canal from the middle collection center to the lower Han River. Rough cost for construction of landfill at sea, if it is used for 50 years, is expected to be 2 trillion won and total time to construct the landfill is expected to be 10 years. Many studies concerning to this research proposal are to be performed so that construction of landfills familiar to environment are to be accomplished.
