Abstract
Considering the current status of Korean high-level radioactive waste (HLW) storage and the fact that siting process for the disposal of HLW usually takes a long time, it is urgent to secure relevant techniques as well as to construct fundamental database that is applicable to the siting process. The siting process is normally conducted in stages, and evaluating parameters with respect to rock mechanics are utilized in all stages. Also, considering Korean geological environments, a comprehensive database on the parameters needs to be constructed, reflecting the characteristics of candidate sites according to the rock type and regional features. In this technical note, a fundamental database on intact rock properties, as one of the evaluating parameters, is provided. Various laboratory test results were compiled and several descriptive statistics were analyzed and classified according to rock type, strength, and region. The database can be utilized in the siting process as well as in various engineering projects as a broad reference.
