  • It has been continuously generated the requirement for the replacement of the main components such as a steam generator due to the deterioration of the nuclear power plant all around the world. Also, a large amount of radioactive metal was generated during the decommissioning in a short period. It is required to make an accurate measurement of the residual radioactivity for recycling the metal waste for releasing from regulatory control. In planning the measurement procedures, the influence of geometry, self-absorption, density and other relevant factors on the representativeness of the measurements should be considered for the decommissioning metal waste. In this study, the method for measurement procedures, the source term evaluation, the ways to secure representative samples, the measurement device for wide area and the self-absorption correction factors for different density were evaluated. The metal samples for measurement were prepared for securing the simple geometry and representative by melting process. The developed correction method for measuring the radioactivity a variety density of metal waste could improve the reliability of the evaluation results for clearance.

  • 원자로를 이용하여 장수명핵종(long lived nucleus)을 소멸처리하는 과정에서 초우라늄(TRU, transuranium)과 희토류(RE, rare earth) 금속에 포함되어 있는 소량의 핵분열성(fissile) 물질인 우라늄을 제거할 필요가 있다. 본 실험은 LiCl-KCl 용융염계에서 전해제련법(Electrowinning)을 이용하여 용융염욕에 존재하는 우라늄을 제거하기 위하여 필요한 Cd-Li 양전극 물질을 제조하였고, 제조된 금속을 이용하여 우라늄 및 란탄족(Dy, Ce, Y, Nd, Gd) 금속의 환원 특성을 파악하였다.(중략)
