Waste management in Jeju Province, Korea, has recently emerged as an urgent problem. The increasing waste discharge requires more landfills but, since it is an island, the available land is restricted. Accordingly, an efficient waste management urgently requires environmentally sustainable policies. In this article, the waste discharge characteristics (such as the amount of waste, its composition, etc.) of Jeju Province have been compared with those in the rest of Korea. The current industrial waste management of two cities on the Island, Jeju City and Seogwipo City, has been also analyzed to suggest policies for an efficient management. The local government's endeavor to enhance environmental awareness of the community has been known to reduce the private cost of policy compliance, and have individuals recognize the results of their policy compliance. Policies to achieve the above are then proposed.

CANDU 사용후핵연료는 핵분열성 핵종의 농도가 비교적 낮아 장기적인 관리 방법으로서 재활용보다는 직접 처분을 고려하고 있으나 처분 부지 확보가 어려워 중간저장 정책이 단기적으로 고려되고 있다. 이와 관련하여 중간저장시설의 운영기간과 최적의 처분 착수시기에 대한 검토가 필요하다. 처분시점의 결정 요인으로는 크게 안전성, 경제성, 수용성을 설정하였다. 안전성은 크게 붕괴열과 핵비확산성 측면에서, 경제성은 각 시설의 관리비용 측면에서, 수용성은 회수성 개념 및 세대 간 책임 윤리 측면으로 나누어 검토하였다. 본 논문에서는 처분시점 결정 요인 분석 결과를 바탕으로 3가지 대안을 비교하고 최적 안을 제시하였다. 중요한 핵심 내용으로는 기술적 측면과 안전성 측면에서는 처분 시점이 빠를수록 좋다는 것과, 최적 CANDU 사용후핵연료 처분시점으로서 2041년 경을 제안하였다.

Pavements porous concrete is a noble structure design in the urban management development generally enabling water to be permeated within its structure. It has also capable in the same time to cater dynamic loading. During the technology development, the quality and quantity of waste materials have led to a waste disposal crisis. Using recycled materials (secondary) instead of virgin ones (primary) have reduced landfill pressure and extraction demanding. This study has reviewed the waste materials (Recycled crushed glass (RCG), Steel slag, Steel fiber, Tires, Plastics, Recycled asphalt) used in the pavement porous concretes and report their respective mechanical, durability and permeability functions. Waste material usage in the partial cement replacement will cause the concrete production cost to be reduced; also, the concretes' mechanical features have slightly affected to eliminate the disposal waste materials defects and to use cement in Portland cement (PC) production. While the cement has been replaced by different industrial wastes, the compressive strength, flexural strength, split tensile strength and different PC permeability mixes have depended on the waste materials' type applied in PC production.

의료용 사이클로트론 해체시 많은 양의 저준위 방사성 폐기물을 발생시키며 이에 따른 큰 해체 비용을 야기한다. 이에 국외에서는 동위원소 생산시설 도입시 해체 자금에 관한 계획을 제출할 것을 권고하고 있다. 해체 자금 계획 수립을 위해서는 해체 비용을 해체 활동과 시설의 구성 요소에 맞게 합리적으로 계산되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 2012년 12월 수행된 국내 서울대학교병원 사이클로트론(TR-13) 해체 사례를 통하여 폐기 시나리오일 때의 방사성 폐기물 처리 비용을 분석하고 해체 비용 산정시 필요한 고려사항에 대해 살펴보고 향후 해체 자금 계획 수립에 필요한 사항을 도출하고자 하였다.

사용후핵연료를 포함하는 고준위 방사성폐기물을 지질학적 조건이 안정적인 지하 3~5 km의 심도에 처분할 수 있다면 다음과 같은 많은 장점이 있는 것으로 평가되고 있다. 즉, (1)암반 수리전도도가 매우 낮아 지하수가 생태계까지 도달하는데 속도가 현저히 감소되며, (2)상부층 두께로 인하여 생태계와의 이격거리 확보에 유리하고, (3)지하수가 환원상태이므로 핵종의 용해도가 매우 낮을 뿐만 아니라 (4)오랜 연령의 지하수에서는 핵종이 흡착된 콜로이드 생성과 이동이 극히 제한된다는 점이다. 이와 관련하여 심부시추공 처분(Deep Borehole Disposal) 연구는 심층 처분(Deep Geological Disposal) 시스템에 대한 이상적인 처분 대안기술로서 꾸준하게 진행되어 왔다. 본 논문에서는 최근 심부 시추기술이 비약적으로 발전됨에 따라 의미있게 연구가 진행되고 있는 심부시추공 처분시스템을 국내 적용하기 위한 초기 단계로서 해외의 심부시추공 처분시스템 기술개발 사례를 분석하였다. 이를 통하여 심부시추공 처분에 대한 일반적인 개념과 심부시추공 처분시스템 개념을 도출한 연구사례를 국가별로 정리하였다. 이들 분석결과는 향후 심부시추공 처분기술의 국내 적용을 위한 입력자료로서 유용하게 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

For the past 50 years, graphite has been widely used as a moderator, reflector and fuel matrix in different kinds of gas-cooled reactors. Resulting in approximately 250,000 metric tons of irradiated graphite waste. One of the most significant long-lived radioisotope from graphite reactors is carbon-14 ($^{14}C$) with a half-life of 5730 years, this makes it a huge concern for deep geologic disposal of nuclear graphite (NG). Considering the lifecycle of NG a number of waste management options have been developed, mainly focused on the achievement the radiological requirements for disposal. The existing approaches for recycling depend on the cost to be economically viable. In this new study, an affordable process to remove $^{14}C$ has been proposed using samples taken from the Nuclear Power Plant in Latina (Italy) which have been used to investigate the capability of organic and inorganic solvents in removing $^{14}C$ from exfoliated nuclear graphite, with the aim to design a practicable approach to obtain graphite for recycling or/and safety disposed as L& LLW.

With domestic construction projects becoming bigger, more specialized and more advanced, the construction industry is striving to improve quality and quantity, and is diversifying functions and shapes. Nevertheless, the process of a construction project causes problems when we estimate construction price, because the cost breakdown structures are different in each step. The primary aim of this study was to estimate building life cycle cost using the Delphi method. The cost breakdown structure for life cycle cost was classified into planning, design, construction, maintenance and waste disposal, and each detailed classification was determined by estimating life cycle cost. Moreover, the developed cost breakdown structure is verified by consulting with experts to secure objectivity and validity.

Solid waste management (SWM) is one of the poorly rendered services in developing countries - limited resources, increasing population, rapid urbanization and application of outdated systems leads to inefficiency. Lack of proper planning and inadequate data regarding solid waste generation and collection compound the SWM problem. Decision makers need to formulate solutions that consider multiple goals and strategies. Given the large number of available options for SWM and the inter-relationships among these options, identifying SWM strategies that satisfy economic or environmental objectives is a complex task. The paper develops a mathematical model for a municipal Integrated SWM system, taking into account waste generation rates, composition, transportation modes, processing techniques, revenues from waste processing, simulating waste management as closely as possible. The constraints include those linking waste flows and mass balance, processing plants capacity, landfill capacity, transport vehicle capacity and number of trips. The linear programming model integrating different functional elements was solved by LINGO optimization software and various possible waste management options were considered during analysis. The model thus serves as decision support tool to evaluate various waste management alternatives and obtain the least-cost combination of technologies for handling, treatment and disposal of solid waste.

The main objective of this study was to evaluate the effects on shape and size, compressive strength, water absorption and heavy metals leaching with various weight mixing ratios in waste ash brick products using waste recycling MSWI(Municipal Solid Waste Incinerator) bottom ash, steel slag and waste building material. The manufacturing processes for the waste ash brick consist of screening, mixing, conveyor transmission, compaction.forming, and curing steps of raw materials. The weight mixing ratios of steel slag around bottom ash were adjusted within the ranges of 10% to 30%. The reported results show that the width and thickness of the manufactured waste ash brick could be satisfied with $90{\pm}2mm\;and\;57{\pm}2mm$, respectively which are K.S. standards of products qualities. And in case of length, only 20-Ba50Ss30, 20-Ba60Wb20 and 20-Ba50Wb30 for the mixing ratios could be satisfied with $190{\pm}2mm$ that is K.S. standards of products quality. The compressive strength and water absorption for 20-Ba50Ss30 and 20-Ba70Wb10 were over $8N/mm^2$ and below 15% respectively that are K.S. standards of manufactured waste ash brick. The results of tests for the heavy metals leaching in the all manufactured waste ash bricks are also passed to the wastes management regulations. The cost analysis of 20-Ba50Ss30 is evaluated. The manufacturing cost is evaluated 34.3 won/brick with 8 hours and 20tons of raw material per day. Incinerators with problems in bottom ash disposal can therefore derive significant benefits from the application of waste ash brick production.
