본 논문은 GIS를 이용하여 원자력 발전소 건설을 위한 최적의 부지 선택 방안을 연구한 것이다. 근래 고도 경제 성장에 따라 전력 사용량이 날로 증가되고 있으며 이에 따라 발전소의 추가 건설이 시급한 실정이다. 그러나 발전소 건설에 필요한 적지가 희소한 실정이며 정부의 국토이용 계획, 각종 개발 제한 사항에 의해 갈수록 제약을 받게 되어 부지 선정에 많은 어려움이 예상된다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 원자력 발전소 입지선정 절차를 근간으로하여 부지평가에 영향을 주리라 예상되는 지질, 골재원, 수송조건, 부지표고, 용수원, 해상조건, 접안조건 및 주변환경, 인구 분포 등의 부지평가 요소들을 중심으로 하고, GIS를 이용한 부지평가 항목의 분석을 통하여 원자력 발전소 부지의 최적 후보지를 결정하는 개념적 방안을 제시하였다.

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.

2011년 3월 일본 후쿠시마에서 대지진과 쓰나미로 인하여 대규모의 경제적 피해와 생명에 위협을 준 원전사고가 발생하였다. 이처럼 국가주요시설인 원전부지의 사고위험은 다양한 원인으로 인해 늘 위협받고 있으며, 최근 기후변화로 인하여 단시간의 지역적인 집중호우와 예상치 못한 폭우가 빈번하게 발생하고 있는 상황에서 극한홍수로 인한 사고 또한 중요한 원인으로 인식되고 있다. 하지만 우리나라에서는 원전부지에 대하여 PMP 등의 이상강우 조건 하에서 수공학적 안정도 평가와 국가 주요시설물 부지의 침수해석기법의 개발은 아직까지 전무한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 원전부지 내에 영향을 미치는 극한강우를 다양한 기법으로 산정하여 가장 큰 피해를 미치는 극한강우 사상을 도출하였다. 도출한 극한강우를 유역유출분석을 통해 실제 원전부지 내로의 유입 경계조건으로 고려하여 2차원 침수해석을 실시하였다. 2차원 침수해석을 위해 원전부지 내 주요시설물, 도로, 하수관망 및 구조물 등을 반영하여 지형자료를 구축하였으며, 유출분석을 통해 유입되는 극한홍수량 외에 원전부지 내로 내리는 직접 강우도 함께 고려하였다. 그 결과를 통해 원전부지 내 침수심 및 유속 분포 등의 침수정보를 제공할 수 있는 침수위험도를 작성하였다. 본 연구를 통해 원전부지 내의 극한강우 산정 및 그로인한 침수위험도 작성으로 원전부지의 방재대책 수립시 기초자료로써 제공될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Site selection processes for high-level radioactive waste disposal facilities in different countries differ in terms of local geology and degree of public engagement. There seem to be three alternative processes for site selection: (1) selection with community consent after government choice; (2) selection with continuous community engagement after exclusion of unsuitable areas based on existing survey data; or (3) site selection where communities have expressed a willingness to participate. The Yucca Mountain site in Nevada, USA, was selected as the final disposal site by process (1) through six stages, but its development was suspended owing to opposition from the local governor and environmental groups. In Sweden, Switzerland, and Germany, process (2) is used and sites are selected through three stages. Sweden and Switzerland have completed site selection, and Germany is currently engaged in the process. The UK adopted process (3) with six stages, although the process has been suspended owing to poor community participation. In Korea, temporary storage facilities for spent nuclear fuel will reach saturation from 2030, so site selection must be promoted through various laws and systems, with continuous communication with local communities based on transparent and scientifically undertaken procedures.

Increased investment in environment-friendly transport vehicles has led to rapid transit of railway tracks, double track program, linear improvements in railway lines, and moving railroad routes into the suburbs. They resulted in fast increase of railway yards. However, as the railroad yards being neglected, urban fine sites have been degraded. Local governments kept seeking ways to utilize the railway yards. In addition, Ministry of land, infrastructure and transport enacted "Guidelines for utilization of railway yards". The Guidelines categorized the railway yards into three types; conservation, utilized, and other sites in order to make efficient use of them. The railway yards have been converted and used for parks, rail bike trails, bike paths, and solar projects. It seems that studies are needed on diverse use of the yards and on post evaluation. This study investigated current uses of railway yards, domestic and foreign, and analyzed for the pertinent conditions on natural and cultural landscape, educational value, location and accessibility, potential for recreational area, and development opportunities. In this study, I proposed a quantitative evaluation method, and to find way to diversify the use of railway yards.

The aim of this study was to suggest site-specific reuse alternatives for closed unsanitary landfills (CULs) scattered in Gyeongbuk Province. The CULs were classified with the factors affecting the site reuse alternative to provide basic data for systematic site reuse. Statistical analysis showed that the site area was the main factor in site classification among the site area, distance to road, and distance to the village. The results proposed a site-specific guide flow to the reuse of the CULs.

In recent years, concern about the decommissioning of nuclear power plants has been growing according to the nuclear power plants aging. Although site reuse is one of the most important issues in doing decommissioning of nuclear power plants in view of the internal affairs, there is currently no specific standard of the site release criteria for site reuse in the Republic of Korea. In this study, we analyzed the international safety standards for the site release(IAEA's Safety Guide No. WS-G-5.1) and the present domestic condition. Also, we studied the site release criteria and real life examples about advanced countries such as United states and Europe, which already have experience of decommissioning or site release. As a results of the study, we suggested proper standards and future consideration to establish site release criteria. This will be used for preliminary data for establishing the domestic site release criteria after the decommissioning of nuclear power plants.

The decommission of nuclear legacy sites, which have been contaminated by previous activities such as uranium mining & milling as well as nuclear tests, has started to gain global attention. Within the Korean peninsula, Republic of Korea(ROK)has had experience in dismantling research reactors. For the Democratic People's Republic of Korea(DPRK), the possibility of nuclear activities being implemented and operations records being managed without consideration of the latest nuclear safety regulations are high. Hence, the chances of DPRK's sites remaining as nuclear legacy is also high. This study investigates approaches and considerations that needs to be taken in account in the event of a nuclear legacy site occurrence, reviewing its international cases for the solution of the legacy sites. The regulation, process of optimization, and stakeholder engagement for a nuclear legacy site should be considered in such an event. Developing legacy site response plans can be used to prevent future legacy site occurrences.

Current earthquake alert notification for immediate post-earthquake procedures for the critical facilities is exclusively dependent on the ground-motion intensity measures observed at the seismic station located within the site. This practice is prune to false notification due to a noise and problems of missing and poor quality records of the seismic station. The credibility of the earthquake alert notification can be enhanced by utilizing the multiple transformed records of the nearby seismic stations at other sites interconnected to the same earthquake monitoring system by a network. The time-domain transformation of the site-response between the seismic stations is implemented by convoluting the nearby records with a pair of forward and inverse FIR filters designed for the site response relative to a seismic basement. The transformed records from the nearby seismic stations can be used to estimate the ground-motion intensity measures missing at the site or to evaluate the data quality along with other various possible applications in the area of geoscience and earthquake engineering.

The purpose of site monitoring and investigation is to offer the basic data for performance assessment and design of low- and intermediate-level radioactive waste(LILW) disposal facility by monitoring variations of main site properties continually in the stage of pre-operation, operation and post-closure. Main contents of site monitoring are as follows. In the stage of pre-operation, suitability evaluation for disposal facility and monitoring for constructing and operating disposal facility are performed. In the operation period, monitoring is performed including surroundings to research the influence to environment with operating disposal facility and operate safely and efficiently. In the post-closure period, monitoring about major site properties is performed to prevent the effect of radioactive waste from disposal facility and to secure long-term safety.
