  • Large amounts of liquid radioactive waste or radioactive contaminated water could be produced during the treatment of radiation accidents or during the dismantling and decontamination process of nuclear power plants. Since most of the decontamination agents to date are difficult to recover after adsorption of radioactive isotopes, their use in open environments such as rivers, reservoirs, or oceans is limited. In this study, as a radioactive decontamination agent that can overcome the current limitations when used in an open environment, a paramagnetic core inorganic composite (PMCIC) decomposite agent with high selectivity to cesium ions was developed. PMCore was prepared by synthesizing paramagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles, and inorganic crystals such as metal-ferrocyanide were conjugated to the surface so that PMCore could be selective to cesium ions. The developed PMCIC could be easily recovered from the water by magnetism and could adsorb up to 94 μM of Cs atoms per 1 g of PMCIC.

  • 핵연료 재처리 과정이나 원자력발전소에서 대량으로 발생되는 비교적 반감기가 긴 핵종들(Sr-90, Ru-106, Cb-137, Ce-144)의 화학응집제와 국산점토 광물(montmorillonite)에 의한 제거 효율을 결정하기 위해 본 실험이 수행되었다. Phosphate process는 Ce-144의 제거에 있어서 99.5% 이상의 극히 좋은 효율을 나타냈고, lime-soda process는 Sr-90에 대하여 93%의 높은 제거율을 보였으며, Cs-187에 대해서는 copper-ferrocyanide가 제거율 99%의 매우 적절한 화학 응집제임을 나타냈다. Phosphate나 lime-soda process에서 가장 좋은 제거효율은 PH 11 이상에서 얻어졌다. 그리고 NaCl로 처리된 montmorillonite가 방사성 핵종들은 제거하는데 있어서 natural montmorillonite 보다 향상된 제거 효율을 보여주었다.

  • The nano/micro composites with highly porous surface area have attracted of great interest, particularly the synthesis of porous and thin film sheets of high performance. In this paper, an easy method of cost-effective synthesis of thin film ceramic fiber membranes based on Hydroxyapatite, and activated carbon by turned into studied to be applied within the service-facilitated the transport of radioactive waste such as $^{90}Sr$, $^{137}Cs$ and $^{60}Co$) as activated product of radioisotopes from ETRR-2 research reactor and dissolved in 3M $HNO_3$, across a thin flat-sheet supported liquid membrane (TFSSLM). Radionuclides are transported from alkaline pH values. The presence of sodium salts in the aqueous media improves in $HNO_3$, the lowering of permeability because the initial $HNO_3$ concentration is improved. The study some parameters on the thin sheet ceramic supported liquid membrane. EDTA as stripping phase concentration, time of extraction and temperature were studied. The study of maximum permeability of radioisotopes for all parameters. The pertraction of a radioactive waste solution from nitrate medium were examined at the optimized conditions. Under the optimum experimental 98.6-99.9% of $^{90}Sr$, 79.65-80.3% of $^{137}Cs$ and $^{60}Co$ 45.5-55.5% in 90-110 min with were extracted in 10-30 min, respectively. The process of diffusion in liquid membranes is governed by the chemical diffusion process.

  • 원자력발전소 운영 과정에서 발생되는 폐기물인 폐수지를 원천적으로 저감하기 위해, 새로운 폐수 정화기술을 개발하고 원전 폐수처리시스템에 가상적으로 적용하여 효용성을 평가하고자 하였다. 본 기술의 기본 원리는 폐수에 존재하는 주요 핵종이온들을 생물학적 혹은 화학적 방법을 통해 무기 결정광물로 바꾸는 방식이다. 실험실에서 폐수를 대상으로 회분식실험을 통해 핵종 제거율을 측정한 결과, 생물학적 방법은 24시간 이내에 세슘을 80% 이상 제거하였고, 화학적 방법은 95% 이상 세슘을 선택적으로 제거할 수 있었다. 그리고 원전 폐수에 존재하는 다른 주요 핵종들(Co, Ni, Fe, Cr, Mn, Eu)에 대해서도 초기 99% 이상의 높은 제거율을 보여 주었다. 우리는 APR1400 원자력발전소의 폐수처리시스템 공정에서 역삼투압(R/O)과 유기 이온교환수지 모듈 사이에 가상으로 본 기술 모듈을 설치하였다. 가상의 모듈 설치를 통한 기술적 타당성 평가를 통해, 우리는 폐수의 주요 핵종들이 90% 이상 선택적으로 제거되고 폐수지의 발생량이 대폭 감소된다는 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 이러한 결과가 의미하는 바는 본 기술이 향후 미래에 상용화되었을 경우, 폐수지 관리 비용을 크게 감소시키고 수지 수명도 대폭 연장시킬 수 있어, 결과적으로 월성 방사성폐기물 처분시설의 저장고 포화시점을 최대한 늦출 수 있는 이점이 있다.

  • The Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute (KAERI) is planning the construction of the KIJANG Research Reactor (KJRR) for stable supply of 99Mo. The Fission 99Mo Production Process (FMPP) of KJRR produces solid waste such as spent uranium cake and alumina cake, and liquid waste in the form of intermediate level liquid waste (ILLW) and low level liquid waste (LLLW). This study thus established the operating range and optimum operating conditions for the cementation of ILLW from FMPP. It also evaluated whether cement waste form samples produced under optimum operational conditions satisfy the waste acceptance criteria (WAC) of a disposal facility in Korea (Korea radioactive waste agency, KORAD). Considering economic feasibility and safety, optimum operational conditions were achieved at a w/c ratio of 0.55, and the corresponding salt content was 5.71 wt%. The cement waste form samples prepared under optimum operational conditions were found to satisfy KORAD's WAC when tested for structural stability and leachability. The results indicate that the proposed cementation conditions for the disposal of ILLW from FMMP can be effectively applied to KJRR's disposal facility.
