The Kori Unit 1 nuclear power plant, which is planned to be dismantled after permanent shutdown, is expected to generate a large amount of various types of radioactive waste during the dismantling process. For the disposal of Very-low-level waste, which is expected to account for the largest amount of generation, the Korea Radioactive waste Agency (KORAD) is in the process of detailed design to build a 3-phase landfill disposal facility in Gyeongju. In addition, a large container is being developed to efficiently dispose of metal and concrete waste, which are mainly generated as Very low-level waste of decommissioning. In this study, based on the design characteristics of the 3-phase landfill disposal facility and the large container under development, radiation exposure dose evaluation was performed considering the normal and accident scenarios of radiation workers during operation. The direct exposure dose evaluation of workers during normal operation was performed using the MCNP computer program, and the internal and external exposure dose evaluation due to damage to the decommissioning waste package during a drop accident was performed based on the evaluation method of ICRP. For the assumed scenario, the exposure dose of worker was calculated to determine whether the exposure dose standards in the domestic nuclear safety act were satisfied. As a result of the evaluation, it was confirmed that the result was quite low, and the result that satisfied the standard limit was confirmed, and the radiational disposal suitability for the 3-phase landfill disposal facility of the large container for dismantled radioactive waste, which is currently under development, was confirmed.

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.

This paper described a method for analyzing the structural performance of a metal container used for disposing radioactive waste generated during the decommissioning of a nuclear power plant, and numerical analysis results of a method for reinforcing the container. The containers to be analyzed were those that can be used in near-surface and landfill disposal facilities scheduled to be operated at the Gyeongju radioactive waste disposal facility. Structural reinforcement of the container was performed by lattice reinforcement, column reinforcement, and bottom plate reinforcement. Accordingly, a total of 14 reinforcement cases were modeled. The external force causing damage to the container was set equivalent to the impact of a 9-m fall, accounting for the height of the vault at the near-surface disposal facility. The reinforcement methods with a high contribution to the structural performance of the container were concluded to be lattice and column reinforcements.

국내 3단계 매립형 처분시설은 2018년도 한국원자력환경공단의 중·저준위 방폐물관리시행계획에 의하면 주로 원전 해체 현장에서 발생하는 극저준위방폐물을 수용하기 위해 2019년 4월부터 2026년 2월까지 총 104,000드럼(2개 트렌치)을 수용하기 위해 건설이 계획 중이다(총 2,246억원 투입). 이후 총 5개 트렌치에 260,000드럼이 총 34,076 ㎡의 면적에 단계적으로 수용되며 따라서 현재 한국원자력환경공단은 관련 인수기준을 마련 중에 있다. 극저준위방폐물 처분시설 인수기준의 경우 프랑스, 스페인 등이 전용 처분시설을 운영하면서 자국의 인수기준을 합리적으로 잘 준용하고 있으나 본 논문에서는 해체방폐물의 처분에 가장 경험이 많은 미국의 처분시설을 고려하여 국내 매립형 처분시설에 우선적으로 반영되어야 할 사항이 있는지 분석하였고 이를 통하여 경주내 3단계 매립형 처분시설의 인수기준 마련에 도움이 되고자 하였다.

This study is to investigate the present condition of waste disposal establishment and to analysis problems which could be produced at location selection formalities of waste disposal establishment. It proposed building methods of waste disposal establishment to lead spontaneous participation of local resident according to case analysis of waste disposal establishment. There are research results; i) Opposition of inhabitants was the majority of reason at the business abandonment or delay of waste disposal establishment. Therefore agreement formation course with local inhabitants is most important position. ii) Many estimate have been needed for waste disposal establishment, but support estimate of government was 30-50% that is really low compare with other environmental establishment. So that it need to increase of government estimate. iii) Location collection is carried out based on law and final collected location must be executed without delay of relation business as soon as possible. iv) Standard of location collection has to divide into small, middle and large size and to apply with same rule according to divided location. v) It must be change public subscription before and location selection after and maintain continuance of information offer to local inhabitants and offered information. vi) after building of waste disposal establishment for solving distrust of waste disposal establishment. It must be planed and carried on useful support countermeasure to local inhabitants in actuality.

Most of the solid waste has been land-filed as an ultimate disposal method in Korea, with might induce many environmental problems by generating odor, particulates and leachate. The landfill site should be considered as a kind of pleasant facility to neighboring residents. Currently, for a landfill site, while the environmental law requires to perform the EIA before the planning. EIA has been performed after the selection of the landfill-site. That might be controversal to the purpose of doing EIA. In this study, the weakness of the EIA for the landfill-site was analysed and was suggested for comprehensive EIA in Korea as well.

처분덮개는 중.저준위 방사성폐기물 천층처분시설의 성능 유지에 중요한 역할을 하므로 여러가지 시험과 장기관측을 통한 처분덮개의 성능실증 연구는 시설의 안전성 확보에 불가결한 요소이다. 처분덮개의 기본적인 성능요건으로는 불투수성, 건전성, 열화에의 저항력 및 유지보수의 용이성 등을 고려할 수 있다. 이러한 성능요건을 단일층으로는 충족하기 어려운 점을 고려하여 HELP(Hydrologic Evaluation of Landfill Performance) 코드를 사용한 물수지 평가를 통해 상부 보호층, 중간 배수층 및 하부 저투수층 등으로 구성된 다층덮개 개념을 도출하였다. 처분덮개 내에서의 수분이동특성을 규명하기 위해 TDR(Time Domain Reflectometry)과 Tensiometer를 사용하여 각각 함수비와 matric potential의 변화를 3$\times$3$\times$3.3m 크기의 6개 시험고에서 장기관측 할 수 있도록 설계하였다.

본 연구에서는 원전연료 가공시설에서 발생한 콘크리트 폐기물을 자체처분 하기 위란 국내 규제요건을 검토하였고, 매립 및 재활용에 따른 작업자 및 일반인의 방사선학적 위해도를 평가하기 위해 RESRAD Ver. 6.3, RESRAD BUILD Ver. 3.3 전산코드를 사용하여 피폭선량을 평가하였다. 피폭선량 평가 결과에 따라 유도된 처분제한치는 콘크리트 폐기물 매립의 경우 0.1071Bq/g (3.5% 농축우라늄), 재활용의 경우 $0.05515Bq/cm^2$(5% 농축우라늄)이었다. 또한, 자체처분대상 콘크리트 폐기물의 제염 후 잔류방사능을 조사한 결과, 표면오염도는 전체평균이 $0.01Bq/cm^2$(알파방출체), 콘크리트 폐기물 표면에서 채취한 시료의 방사성핵종 분석결과 $^{238}U$은 0.0297Bq/g, $^{235}U$의 농축도는 2w/o 이하였고, 인위적 오염으로 예상되는 $^{238}U$의 농도는 0.0089Bq/g 이었다. 따라서, 자체처분 대상 콘크리트 폐기물의 매립 및 재활용시 일반인 및 작업자에게 미치는 방사선학적 위해도는 원자력관계법령에서 정하는 처분제한치(개인선량 $10{\mu}Sv/yr$, 집단선량 $1man{\cdot}Sv/yr$) 이하임을 확인하였다.

Since the Framework Act on Resource Circulation was enacted in 2018, the government should establish a National Resource Circulation Master Plan every 10 years, which defines mid- to long-term policy goals and directions on the efficient use of resources, prevention of waste generation and recycling of waste. In addition, we must set mid- to long-term and stepwise targets for the final disposal rate, recycling rate (based on sorted recyclable materials and recycled products), and energy recovery rate of wastes, and relevant measures should be taken to achieve these targets. However, the current industrial waste (IW) statistics have limitations in setting these targets because the final disposal rate and recycling rate are calculated as the ratio of the recycling facility input to the IW generation. In this study, the material flow from the collection stage to the final disposal of industrial waste was analyzed based on the generation of 2016, and the actual recycling amount, actual incineration amount, final disposal amount and their rates were calculated. The effect on the recycling, incineration and final disposal rates was examined by changing the treatment method of nonhazardous wastes from the factory and construction and demolition wastes, which were put in landfills in 2016. In addition, the variation of the waste treatment charge was investigated according to the change of treatment methods. The results of this study are expected to be effectively used to establish the National Resource Circulation Master Plan and industrial waste management policy in the future in South Korea.
