초록

방사성폐기물 지층 처분을 위한 부지 선정 과정에서 심층 처분장의 안전성을 평가하는데 필요한 입력 자료를 제공하기 위해 부지특성조사를 수행한다. 본 논문에서는 부지특성조사를 선도하여 수행하였던 해외 사례를 분석하고, 국내에서 방사성폐기물 처분을 위해 수행해야 할 부지특성조사 방법을 제안하고자 하였다. IAEA가 고려하는 부지특성조사 방법은 단계별 부지특성조사로 본 논문에서 소개된 해외의 경우도 이 방법을 따르고 있는데, 부지특성조사는 시기별, 조사 항목별로 다수의 지역에서 개략적인 부지의 정보를 도출하는 예비 부지특성조사와 조사 결과 선정된 지역에서 보다 자세한 부지특성자료를 생산하기 위한 상세 부지특성조사로 구분할 수 있다. 특히, 상세 부지특성조사 단계에서는 조사지역에 장심도 시추공을 굴착하여 심부 영역에 대한 지질 특성을 바탕으로, 수리지질, 수리-지화학, 암석역학, 열, 용질이동에 대한 특성을 도출해야 한다. 단계별 부지특성조사를 통해 도출된 부지 고유의 지질환경 특성은 부지특성모델로 구축되어야 하는데, 이를 종합하여 해석해야 비로소 조사지역의 부지특성을 이해하고, 지층 처분에 보다 유리한 부지를 최종 후보지역으로 선정할 수 있는 것이다. 해외 사례를 살펴본 결과, 부지특성조사 단계에 소요되는 시간은 대략 7~8년이 소요될 것으로 예상되나, 이를 계획하고 수행하는 시스템이 뒷받침 되지 않을 경우 보다 지연될 수 있을 것이다.

In the process of site selection for a radioactive waste disposal, site characterization must be carried out to obtain input parameters to assess the safety and feasibility of deep geological repository. In this paper, methodologies of site characterization for radioactive waste disposal in Korea were suggested based on foreign cases of site characterization. The IAEA recommends that site characterization for radioactive waste disposal should be performed through stepwise processes, in which the site characterization period is divided into preliminary and detailed stages, in sequence. This methodology was followed by several foreign countries for their geological disposal programs. General properties related to geological environments were obtained at the preliminary site characterization stage; more detailed site characteristics were investigated during the detailed site characterization stage. The results of investigation of geology, hydro-geology, geochemistry, rock mechanics, solute transport and thermal properties at a site have to be combined and constructed in the form of a site descriptive model. Based on this site descriptive model, the site characteristics can be evaluated to assess suitability of site for radioactive waste disposal. According to foreign site characterization cases, 7 or 8 years are expected to be needed for site characterization; however, the time required may increase if the no proper national strategy is provided.
