To develop site characterization technologies for a radioactive waste disposal research in KAERI, the geological and hydrogeological investigations have been carried out since 1997. In 2006, the KURT (KAERI Underground Research Tunnel) was constructed to study a solute migration, a microbiology and an engineered barrier system as well as deeply to understand geological environments in in-situ condition. This study is performed as one of the site characterization works around KURT. Several investigations such as a lineament analysis, a borehole/tunnel survey, a geophyscial survey and logging in borehole, were used to construct the geological model. As a result, the geological model is constructed, which includes the lithological model and geo-structural model in this study. Moreover, from the results of the in-situ hydraulic tests, the hydrogeological properties of elements in geological model were evaluated.

The KURT (KAERI Underground Research Tunnel) is a research tunnel which is located in KAERI (Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute) site. At KURT, researches on engineering and natural barrier system, which are the most important components for geological disposal system for high level radioactive waste, have been conducted. In this study, we synthesized the site characteristics obtained by various types of site investigation to introduce the geological model for KURT site, and induced the 3-D hydrogeological model for KURT site from the geological model. From the geological investigation at the surface and boreholes, four geological elements such as subsurface weathered zone, upper fractured rock, lower fractured rock and fracture zones were determined for the geological model. In addition, the geometries of these geological elements were also analyzed for the geological model to be three-dimensional. The results from 3-D geological model were used to construct the hydro-geological model for KURT site, which is one of the input data for groundwater flow modeling and safety assessment.

본 연구는 농경활동이 활발한 만경강 하천부지에서 지하수의 수리지질 및 수리지화학적 특성을 고찰하고 B과 Sr 동위원소를 이용하여 지하수 수질 변화에 영향을 미치는 요인을 알아보고자 하였다. 연구 결과 만경강 하천부지는 지표로부터 실트질 모래층, 자갈모래층, 풍화대로 크게 3등분되며 투수성은 모래자갈층에서 가장 좋고 그 다음으로 풍화대, 실트질 모래층 순이었다. 화학성분 검층과 ${\delta}^{11}B,\;^{87}Sr/^{86}Sr$ 동위원소 분석결과 지하수 조성은 해수와 농업 활동에 의한 영향을 크게 받는 것으로 나타났다. 화학성분 검층 결과 해수 영향은 하천과 도로제방 사이 중간정도 까지인 것으로 사료되었으며 ${\delta}^{11}B$ 분석 결과 자갈모래층과 풍화대 지하수는 해수의 영향을 받는 것이 확인되었다. 본 연구지역 지하수는 지층 특성에 의한 영향으로 천층지하수는 토지이용에 따른 농업활동의 영향을 받으며 지표하 10m 이하의 지하수는 해수의 영향을 받는 것으로 사료되었다.

Nuclear power plants (NPPs) consider possible external events, including natural hazards, during the design phase to ensure safe operation. However, in recent years, due to the increasing probability of natural hazards exceeding the design, a careful review of extreme natural hazards and unforeseen external events during the design phase has become necessary. In this study, the objective was to screen potential extreme natural hazards at NPP sites in Korea. Initially, we investigated and analyzed the characteristics of NPP sites and the events caused by external hazards. Furthermore, we analyzed existing literature and research data to establish screening procedures and criteria that suit the actual conditions of domestic NPPs. Based on these criteria and data, we conducted qualitative screening for each NPP site and identified potential extreme natural hazards through quantitative screening and walkdown. As a result of the screening, in addition to internal flooding caused by heavy rain, wind pressure and extreme air pressure caused by extreme winds were screened as potential extreme natural hazards common to all sites. Additionally, at the Kori site, storm surge was selected as the most significant potential extreme natural hazard.

To provide regulatory standards and technical guides that are likely to be required for the Fault Monitoring System (FMS), soon to be installed and operated at the Shin-Wolsong NPP #1, 2 site, technical trend analysis was performed for currently operating geodetic and/or earthquake monitoring systems and activities worldwide, resulting in the identification of several items of concern regarding the design, installation, and operation of FMS at Korean sites. The items are as follows: 1) characterization of site-specific properties (including local noise), 2) selection of measuring instruments/design of appropriate sensitivity for the tectonic behavior of the target, 3) data/electricity backup system, 4) cross-checking and/or cross-referencing system to enhance data quality and credibility, 5) transparent data operation and open-to-the-public policy, and 6) long-term operation in a stable environment.

Due to the topographical characteristics of Busan, which has many mountainous areas, there is a shortage of available land, and even the Gyeongbu Line railroad crosses the city center, hindering the disconnection of living areas and urban development. Accordingly, the need for multi-dimensional development has been raised to secure land, and recently, interest has been increasing in connecting cities divided by the undergroundization of the Gyeongbu Line railway and making efficient use of land. In this study, the development type was analyzed through the case of multi-dimensional development of land, and the development direction for each three-dimensional development type was set based on the results of the multi-dimensional development of four areas (Sasang Station, Gupo Station, Gaya Station, and Busanjin Station). In addition, reflecting the regional characteristics of the target area and the ongoing urban regeneration project, we will propose a design plan for horizontal and vertical space utilization of the railway site through multi-dimensional development through the efficient land use.

Regulatory agency and licensee are preparing for the site restoration of Kori unit 1, the first commercial NPP in Korea, scheduled for 2031. Developing regulatory guidelines and strategies is essential for effective restoration work. Unfortunately, Korea does not have experience of site restoration of commercial NPPs. Therefore, it is important to review cases from experienced countries to establish a strategy and regulatory standards. The U.S. has had numerous soil remediation experiences using RESRAD and MARSSIM. However, formalized evaluation methodologies for subsurface soil have not yet been established in MARSSIM. This survey focused on subsurface soil remediation by reviewing the five decommissioned NPPs under regulation of the US NRC. Overall process of remediating a contaminated subsurface soil and groundwater was reviewed to identify considerations and lessons that could be applicable in Korea. In addition, an applied methodology for evaluation of contaminated subsurface soil and related major issues between regulatory agency and licensees were reviewed in detail to support establishment of remediation strategy for Kori unit 1.
