United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (U.S. NRC) specifies regulations on obtaining licenses and describes the technical position on the average waste concentration, also known as Concentration Averaging and Encapsulation Branch Technical Position (CA BTP); CA BTP helps classify blendable waste and discrete items and address concentration averaging. The technical position details are reviewed and compared in a real environment in Korea. A few cases of concentration averaging based on the application of CA BTP to domestic radioactive waste are presented, and the feasibility of the application is assessed. The radioactive waste considered herein does not satisfy the Disposal Concentration Limit (DCL) of the second-phase disposal facility while applying the preliminary classification. However, if CA BTP is applied when the radioactive waste is mixed with other radioactive waste items in a large and heavy container, it can be disposed of at the second-phase disposal facility in Gyeongju Repository. To apply the CA BTP of the U.S. NRC, it is necessary to investigate the safety assessment conditions of the US and Korea.

To produce a level-3 monthly composite image from daily level-2 Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor (SeaWiFS) chlorophyll-a concentration data set in the East Sea, we applied four average methods such as the simple average method, the geometric mean method, the maximum likelihood average method, and the weighted averaging method. Prior to performing each averaging method, we classified all pixels into normal pixels and abnormal speckles with anomalously high chlorophyll-a concentrations to eliminate speckles from the following procedure for composite methods. As a result, all composite maps did not contain the erratic effect of speckles. The geometric mean method tended to underestimate chlorophyll-a concentration values all the time as compared with other methods. The weighted averaging method was quite similar to the simple average method, however, it had a tendency to be overestimated at high-value range of chlorophyll-a concentration. Maximum likelihood method was almost similar to the simple average method by demonstrating small variance and high correlation (r=0.9962) of the differences between the two. However, it still had the disadvantage that it was very sensitive in the presence of speckles within a bin. The geometric mean was most significantly deviated from the remaining methods regardless of the magnitude of chlorophyll-a concentration values. Its bias error tended to be large when the standard deviation within a bin increased with less uniformity. It was more biased when data uniformity became small. All the methods exhibited large errors as chlorophyll-a concentration values dominantly scatter in terms of time and space. This study emphasizes the importance of the speckle removal process and proper selection of average methods to reduce composite errors for diverse scientific applications of satellite-derived chlorophyll-a concentration data.

우리나라를 포함한 많은 국가들에서 향후 원전 해체로 저준위폐기물이 대량으로 발생할 전망이다. 본 논문에서는 미국의 저준위방사성폐기물 처분 관련 규제 기준을 분석하고, 특히 원자력발전소의 운영 및 해체를 포함하는 전주기에서 발생하는 폐기물의 처분 옵션을 확장하는 방안으로 사용되고 있는 저준위방사성폐기물의 블랜딩에 대해 검토하였다. 2007년 미국 NRC는 미국 저준위폐기물 관리 프로그램에 대한 전략분석 결과, 방사선위험도와 성능평가에 기반한 새로운 저준위폐기물 관리 규제의 필요성을 제기하였는데, 특히 방사성핵종 농도가 다른 폐기물의 블랜딩을 처분에 대한 옵션을 다양화할 수 있는 안전한 방안으로 제시하였다. NRC는 블랜딩을 처분에 적합하도록 방사성핵종의 농도가 다른 저준위폐기물을 비교적 균일하게 혼합(mixing)하는 것으로 정의하였다. 2015년 2월 농도 평균과 포장에 대한 NRC BTP의 개정판으로 공표된 블랜딩에 대한 구체적인 기술요건을 분석하였고 국내 해체폐기물에 대한 적용 방안도 예시하였다. 대량으로 발생할 해체폐기물에 대해 블랜딩과 농도평균을 적용하면 처분 효율성을 향상시킬 수 있다. 바이오쉴드 콘크리트에 대한 농도평균 적용에 대해 예시하였다.

The sensitivity analysis is a method to quantify to what extent the output of a model changes with the values of input parameters. This will lead to increase model accuracy through measurement validation. Three line source air quality models, HIWAY 2, PAL, and CALINE 3 were selected for this study. The input parameters analysed included wind speed, wind direction, stability, emission rate, mixing height, receptor distance, initial dispersion coefficient, surface roughness, and averaging time. It turned out that PAL model generally showed higher concentration than other two models, and that between CALINE 3 and HIWAY 2, CALINE 3 showed higher concentration than HIWAY 2 model near the line sources, but beyond a certain downwind distances HIWAY 2 model showed higher concentration. The modesl were very sensitive to wind speed especially in the range of 0 $\sim$ 1 m/s and to wind direction near the parallel wind to streets. In case of emission rate, the output concentration was directly proportional to these input parameters. And the sensitivity of the input parameters such as stability, mixing height, initial dispersion coefficient, surface roughness, and averaging time were not very significant.

The effects of different averaging operators and atmospheric stability on the turbulent fluxes are investigated using the vertical velocity, air temperature, carbon dioxide concentration, and absolute humidity data measured at 10 Hz by a 3-dimensional sonic anemometer and an open-path $CO_2/H_2O$ infrared gas analyzer installed at a height of 18.5 m on the rooftop of the Jungnang KT building located at a typical residential area in Seoul, Korea. For this purpose, 7 different averaging operators including block average, linear regression, and moving averages during 100 s, 300 s, 600 s, 900 s, and 1800 s are considered and the data quality control procedure such as physical limit check and spike removal is also applied. It is found that as the averaging interval becomes shorter, turbulent fluxes computed by the moving average become smaller and the ratios of turbulent fluxes computed by the 100 s moving average to the fluxes by the 1800 s moving average under unstable stability are smaller than those under neutral stability. The turbulent fluxes computed by the linear regression are 85~92% of those computed by the 1800 s moving average and nearly the same as those computed by 900 s moving average, implying that the adequate selection of an averaging operator and its interval will be very important to estimate more accurate turbulent fluxes at urban area.

The major purpose of this study is to delineate and assess the regional $SO_2$ levels in Seoul. This study is based on 1988 year-round data from 20 air quality continuous monitoring stations in Seoul. Statistical analyses were attempted, statistical parameters such as average concentration, standard deviation, maximum concentration, minimum concentration and monthly highest concentration were included in the analyses. In addition, Larsen's averaging time analysis was evaluated in terms of 24-hr concentration. The $SO_2$ levels in 1988 were that most stations except Daechidong, Sinlimdong, Jamsil 2, Bangidong violate the long-term standard (annual average 0.05 ppm) and the percentage of number of days within a year in which the 24-hr average concentration observed exceeds short-term standard (0.15 ppm) are; 37% at Deungchondong, 30% at Sinseoldong, mor than 20% at Ssangmundong, Myunmogdong and Oryudong.

The aspects of the occurence frequency of $SO_2$ concentration were studied with the observed data in Seoul and the scheme that is capable of estimating not only highest concentration for a variety of averaging times but also concentrations for arbitary occurrence frequency with long term arithmatic mean and geometric standard deviation data, was evaluated. The results of the statistical analysis show that the occurrence frequency is almost log normal except a few cases, and 3rd highest values of daily mean concentration were about 4.2 $\sim$ 5.2 times higher than annual arithmatic mean. The evaluation with the observed hourly concentration shows that the scheme fairly well estimate the short concentration of arbitary occurrence frequence and it can be used for air quality management and environmental impact assessment.
