Abstract

The release of a site and building from regulatory control is the final stage of the decommissioning process. The MARSSIM (Multi-Agency Radiation Survey and Site Investigation Manual) provides overall framework for conducting data collection for a final status survey to demonstrate compliance with site closure requirements. The KAERI carried out establishing a final status survey by using the guidance provided in the MARSSIM for of a site and building of the Korea Research Reactor. The release criteria for a site and building were set up based on these results of the site specific release levels which were calculated by using RESRAD and RESRAD-Build codes. The survey design for a site and building was classified by using the survey dataset and potential contamination. The number of samples in each survey unit was calculated by through a statistical test using the collected data from a scoping and characterization survey. The results of the final status survey were satisfied the release criteria based on an evaluation of the measured data.

해체의 최종단계는 대상 부지 및 건물을 규제로부터 제외하는 것이다. MARSSIM은 부지를 개방하기 위한 최종현황조사를 수행함에 있어 요구되는 자료의 수집 등의 다양한 요건을 만족키기 위한 총괄적인 지침을 제공한다. 연구로 해체 후 부지 및 건물의 최종현황조사를 위해 MARSSIM에서 제시하고 있는 방법을 적용하였다. 연구로 부지의 특성을 반영한 개방기준을 도출하기 위해 RESRAD 및 RESRAD-Build 전산코드를 이용하여 부지 및 건물에 대해서 계산하였다. 부지 및 건물의 조사설계(Survey Design)를 위해서 잠재적 오염도 및 측정 결과를 활용하여 조사구역을 구분하였고, 개략조사 및 특성조사를 통해 수집된 다양한 결과에 기초하여 통계학적 검사를 통해 조사구역 별로 요구되는 시료의 수를 산정하게 된다. 측정된 결과에 기초하여 연구로 최종 개방기준에 만족하는 것으로 평가되었다.
