Abstract

Japan enacted the "Designated Radioactive Waste Final Disposal Act" for the geological disposal of high-level radioactive waste in 2000 and began the site selection process. However, no local government wanted to participate in the siting process. Therefore, in 2015, the Japanese government developed a new site selection process during the literature survey step, and on June 28, 2017 they published a "Nationwide Map of Scientific Features for Geological Disposal" created with the aim of promoting public participation from local governments. This map illustrated the requirements and criteria to be considered in the early or conceptual stages of securing a geological repository and was useful for improving public understanding and exchanging opinions with local governments by analyzing the suitability of different geological disposal sites.

일본에서는 2000년 고준위방사성폐기물의 심층처분을 위한 「특정방사성폐기물의 최종 처분에 관한 법률」을 제정하고 부지선정을 착수하였으나, 부지선정 절차에 참여를 원하는 지자체가 존재하지 않았다. 따라서, 일본 정부는 2015년 문헌조사 단계에 새로운 부지선정을 절차를 개발하고, 지자체의 공모를 촉진하고자 2017년 6월 28일 심층처분을 위한 전국규모 과학적 특성 지도를 발간하였다. 이 지도는 심층처분장 초기 혹은 개념단계에 고려되는 요건 및 기준 등을 제공하고 심층처분을 위한 적합성을 분석함으로써, 공공의 이해도 증진과 지자체와의 의견교환 등을 위해서 유용하게 활용되고 있다.
