Abstract
This paper outlined the status of the development of Korean Reference Disposal (KRS1) system for high-level radioactive wastes. The repository concept was based on the engineering barrier system which KAERI has developed through a long-term research and development program. The design requirements were prepared for the conceptual design of the repository. The amount of PWR and CANDU spent fuels were projected with the current nuclear power plan. The disposal rates of PWR and CANDU spent fuels were analyzed. The reference geologic characteristics including classification of fracture zones were set for the KRS. The disposal concepts and the layout of the repository were described.
