  • To ensure the safety of disposal facilities for radioactive waste, it is essential to quantitatively evaluate the performance of the waste disposal facilities by using safety assessment models. This paper addresses the development of the safety assessment model for the underground silo of Wolseong Low-and Immediate-Level Waste (LILW) disposal facility in Korea. As the simulated result, the nuclides diffused from the waste were kept inside the silo without the leakage of those while the integrity of the concrete is maintained. After the degradation of concrete, radionuclides migrate in the same direction as the groundwater flow by mainly advection mechanism. The release of radionuclides has a positive linear relationship with a half-life in the range of medium half-life. Additionally, the solidified waste form delays and reduces the migration of radionuclides through the interaction between the nuclides and the solidified medium. Herein, the phenomenon of this delay was implemented with the mass transfer coefficient of the flux node at numerical modeling. The solidification effects, which are delaying and reducing the leakage of nuclides, were maintained the integrity of the nuclides. This effect was decreased by increasing the half-life and the mass transfer coefficient of radionuclides.

  • In recent years, the development of radioactive waste containers for nuclear facility decommissioning and dismantling is a critical issue because the Taiwan domestic boiling water reactor nuclear power plant is going to be decommissioned. The main purpose of this research is to design a metal container that meets the structural requirements of related regulations. At first, the shielding analysis was performed by varying dimensions of radioactive waste to determine the storage efficiency of the container. Then, a series of structural analyses for operational and accidental conditions of the container with full load were conducted, such as lifting, stacking, and drop impact conditions. On the other hand, the field drop impact tests were carried out to ensure structural integrity. The present research demonstrates the structural safety of the developed container for decommissioned nuclear facilities in Taiwan.

  • The objective of this study is to analyze the problems of disposal and collection, including administrative management of agricultural PE waste and suggest effective management measurements. Information regarding problems of agricultural PE waste management were collected from field survey of farmers, regional governments and officials. On the national level, the low ratio of collection for optimal treatment of agricultural PE waste is a critical problem. , the negative discharging behavior of farmers, an illegal incineration and landfill of farmers and a lack of education and extension etc. An ambiguity of the management principle to agricultural PE waste, the differences in management among the regional governments, a lack of will of the regional governments and officials to realize SARD and lack of education and extension etc. are some of the problems in administrative management of agricultural PE waste collection. The major suggestions of this study are as follows : (1) to strengthen education and extension, (2) to adopt an improved economic incentive system and strong, lawful regulation simultaneously, (3) to use temporang collection and permanent collection site, and (4) to organize "OTC(Optimal Treatment Conference)" composed of farmers, regional cooperative, PE producers etc. for operating an effective management system.

  • 방사성폐기물이 처분장에 인도 될 때 주요 방사성 핵종의 방사능 농도를 규명 하도록 방사성폐기물 인도 규정에 명시되어 있다. 저준위 방사성폐기물 시료의 경우 측정된 방사능 농도가 최소검출 방사능 농도(MDA: Minimum dectable activity) 이하의 값을 나타낼 경우가 많으며, MDA는 시료의 양, 바탕 값, 계측시간 및 계측효율 등에 따라서 달라지므로 MDA를 낮추기 위하여 가능한 많은 양의 시료를 취할 필요가 있다. 모의 잡고체 시료에 첨가된 요오드의 회수율을 결정하기 위한 방법으로서 모의 시료 중 비 방사성 요오드를 비휘발성 산으로 침출시킨 후 침출액을 직접 증발시키는 방법과 음이온 교환수지를 이용하I-를 흡착하여 분리하는 칼럼용리방법으로 측정하여 회수율을 비교한 결과, 증류법과 칼럼용리방법의 회수율은 각각 $86.5{\pm}0.9%$, $87.3{\pm}2.7%$로 나타났다. 증류법에 의한 모의 방사성 시료 중 $^{129}I$ 요오드의 회수율 및 MDA는 $84.6{\pm}1.6%$, $1.2{\times}10^{-4}Bq/g$로 각각 나타났으며, 분리공정을 단순화하고 많은 양의 시료를 취함으로써, 칼럼용리 방법의 단점을 보완하고 10배 이상 MDA를 낮출 수 있는 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

  • This study analyzes the changes of Gyeongju local society because of setting up low and intermediate level radioactive waste disposal site by using urban dynamics model. Specifically, after examining 'Gyeongju Long-Term Development Plan' announced in 2007, I establish the number of industries, population, gross local product, residents' income, and the long term employment condition as essential change-causing factors in Gyeongju local society based on the Big3 government project, and forecast it by using 'Gyeongju long-Term Development Plan' and all sorts of statistical data. In this stage, I assume 3 scenarios(basic, optimistic, and pessimistic view) to estimate the changes of local society more exquisitely, and scenarios are composed through mediation about variables of a growth rate and an inflow or outflow rate. The result shows that Gyeonaju local society would have growing changes by 2020. The essential change-causing factors are as follows. The case of population is estimated that it starts going down at the level of approximately 270 thousand by 2009, starts going up continuously after 2009, the year of completion of low and intermediate level radioactive waste disposal site, and increases from the level of about 300 thousand as minimum to 340 thousand as maximum in 2020. The estimates of other cases are made that the number of Industries has about 10 thousand increases, gross local product has almost 6 trillion increases, nominal gross national income doubles, as well as residences have approximately 280 thousand increases, and also made that employment condition also improves continuously, and diffusion ratio of house starts going up but the amount of supplies is a little bit insufficient in the long view.

  • 건설산업에서 폐기물 관리는 환경적${\cdot}$경제적 측면에서 중대한 영향을 미침에도 불구하고, 건설폐기물 관련 통계자료에 의하면 국내 건설폐기물 관리 수준이 상대적으로 낮음을 알 수 있다. 이에 따라 본 연구는 건설폐기물 관리의 요체인 건설폐기물 관리 지침을 고찰하여 문제점을 분석하고, 효과적인 폐기물 관리를 유도하는데 적합한 건설폐기물 관리 지침 개선 방향을 제시하고자 한다. 국내 기존 건설폐기물 관리 지침을 분석한 결과, 폐기물 관리의 목적이 총체적으로 법적인 기준을 벗어나지 않도록 관리하는 데 초점이 맞추어져 있음으로 인해 분석 기준인 "계획, 실행 및 운영, 점검 및 시정조치" 측면에서 효과적인 폐기물 관리 지침으로서의 역할을 다하고 있지 않음을 파악하였다. 또한, 문제점 분석 결과를 기반으로 "계획, 실행 및 운영, 점검 및 시정조치" 측면에서 국내 건설폐기물 관리 지침의 개선 방향을 제시하였다.

  • The radionuclide inventory in radioactive waste from nuclear power plants should be determined to secure the safety of final repositories. As an alternative to time-consuming, labor-intensive, and destructive radiochemical analysis, the indirect scaling factor (SF) method has been used to determine the concentrations of difficult-to-measure radionuclides. Despite its long history, the original SF methodology remains almost unchanged and now needs to be improved for advanced SF implementation. Intense public attention and interest have been strongly directed to the reliability of the procedures and data regarding repository safety since the first operation of the low- and intermediate-level radioactive waste disposal facility in Gyeongju, Korea. In this review, statistical methodologies for SF implementation are described and evaluated to achieve reasonable and advanced decision-making. The first part of this review begins with an overview of the current status of the scaling factor method and global experiences, including some specific statistical issues associated with SF implementation. In addition, this review aims to extend the applicability of SF to the characterization of large quantities of waste from the decommissioning of nuclear facilities.
