초록

영구정지 후 해체가 계획된 고리 1호기 원자력발전소는 해체 과정에서 다양한 종류의 방사성폐기물이 대량으로 발생할 것으로 예상되고 있다. 이 중 가장 많은 발생량을 차지할 것으로 예상되는 콘크리트 방사성폐기물에 대하여 기존 폐기물의 처분 현황 및 법적 제한사항등을 분석하여 적절하고 효율적인 처분방법을 마련하는 것은 중요한 사안일 것으로 판단된다. 콘크리트 방사성폐기물은 다양한 준위의 폐기물들이며, 이 중 규제해제 준위에 해당되어 자체처분이 가능한 폐기물은 바이오실드 콘크리트이다. 본 논문에서는 방사화 평가 결과를 바탕으로 자체처분이 가능한 폐기물을 자체처분 평가 코드인 RESRAD 코드 프로그램을 이용하여 자체처분 안전성 평가를 수행하였다. 대상 폐기물의 자체처분 시나리오를 선정하고 자체처분시 개인별 피폭선량을 계산하여 국내 원자력안전법에서 규정하는 자체처분 기준 제한치의 만족 여부를 판단하였다. 평가 결과, 전체적으로 상당히 낮은 결과 값을 보이며 기준 제한치를 만족하는 결과를 나타내었다. 이러한 자체처분 안전성 평가 결과를 바탕으로 규제해제 대상으로서 자체처분 가능한 바이오실드 콘크리트 폐기물에 대한 적절한 처분방법을 제시하였다.

The Kori-Unit 1 nuclear power plant, which is scheduled for decommissioning after permanent shutdown, is expected to generate a large amount of various types of radioactive waste during decommissioning process. For concrete radioactive waste, which is expected to occupy the most amount, it is important to analyze the current waste disposal status and legal limitations and to prepare an appropriate and efficient disposal method. Concrete radioactive waste is waste of various levels, of which the clearance level is bioshield concrete. In this paper, clearance radioactive waste safety evaluation was performed using the RESRAD code, which is a safety evaluation code, based on the activation evaluation results for the wastes with the clearance level. The clearance scenario of the target radioactive waste was selected and the individual's exposure dose was calculated at the time of clearance to determine whether the clearance criteria limit prescribed by the Nuclear Safety Act was satisfied. As a result of the evaluation, the results showed significantly lower results and satisfied the criteria value. Based on the results of this clearance safety assessment, the appropriate disposal method for bioshield concrete, which are the clearance wastes of subject of deregulation, was suggested.
