Two decommissioning projects are carried out at the KAERI (Korean Atomic Energy Research Institute), one for the Korea research reactors, KRR-1 and KRR-2, and another for the uranium conversion plant (UCP). The concept of the management of the wastes from the decommissioning sites was reviewed with a relation of the decommissioning strategies, technologies for the treatment and the decontamination, and the characteristics of waste. All the liquid waste generated from KRR-1 and KRR-2 decommissioning site is evaporated by a solar evaporation facility and all the liquid waste from the UCP is treated together with lagoon sludge waste. The solid wastes from the decommissioning sites are categorized into three groups; not contaminated, restricted releasable and radioactive waste. The not-contaminated waste will be reused and/or disposed at an industrial disposal site, and the releasable waste is stored for the future disposal at the KAERI. The radioactive waste is packed in containers, and will be stored at the decommissioning sites till they are sent to a national repository site. The reduction of the radioactive solid waste is one of the strategies for the decommissioning projects and could be achieved by the repeated decontamination. By the achievement of the minimization strategy, the amount of radioactive waste was reduced and the disposal cost will be reduced, but the cost for manpower, for direct materials and for administration was increased.

Mussel, Mytilus galloprovincialis, was transplanted reciprocally between contaminated site (St. STP) and relatively less contaminated site (St. UB) in Onsan Bay, Korea in order to estimate heavy metal accumulation and release. Transplanted and indigenous mussels were collected 8 times over 108 days deployment at both sites and analyzed for Cd, Cu, Pb and Zn using ICP/MS. Cu and Zn concentration did not show any significant differences between transplanted and indigenous mussels throughout the experiment period, although dissolved Cu and Zn concentrations in seawater were significantly higher at contaminated site. Pb accumulated rapidly, while Cd did not show any accumulation in the mussels transplanted from St. UB to St. STP. These accumulation patterns might reflect the variation of dissolved metal concentration; dissolved Pb concentration was significantly higher in St. STP than St. UB, while dissolved Cd concentration was similar between both sites throughout this experiment. Release of Cd and Pb in the mussels transplanted from St. STP to St. UB was not significant during the transplantation period. The levels and variation of Pb and Cd concentrations in mussels transplanted from St. STP to St. UB were similar to those in the indigenous mussels at St. STP throughout the period. Therefore, Cd and Pb accumulated in indigenous mussels may indicate the integrated metals throughout their lives, not responding to the present status of seawater because the release of accumulated metals in mussels occurs very slowly when the seawater metal levels are lowered. On the other hand, since the transplanted mussels can respond immediately to the levels of metals in seawater, it may be suggested that the present status of heavy metals in seawater can be only acquired from the metal levels of mussels transplanted from clean environments.

The ability to measure groundwater contaminant flux is increasingly being recognized as crucial in order to prioritize contaminated site cleanups, estimate the efficiency of remediation technologies, measure rates of natural attenuation, and apply proper source terms to model groundwater contaminant transport. Recently, a number of methods have been developed and subsequently applied to measure contaminant mass flux in groundwater in the field. Flux measurement methods can be categorized as either point methods or integral methods. As the name suggests, point methods measure flux at a specific point or points in the subsurface. To increase confidence in the accuracy of the measurement, it is necessary to increase the number of points (and therefore, the cost) of the sampling network. Integral methods avoid this disadvantage by using pumping wells to interrogate large volumes of the subsurface. Unfortunately, integral methods are expensive because they require that large volumes of contaminated water be extracted and managed. Recent work has investigated the development of an integral method that does not require extraction of contaminated water from the subsurface. We begin with a review of the significance and importance of measuring groundwater contaminant mass flux. We then review groundwater contaminant flux measurement methods that are either currently in use or under development. Finally, we conclude with a qualitative comparison of the various flux measurement methods.

본 연구에서는 유류오염 지역인 유류보급 군부대 일대의 지하수에 대한 수질 측정 및 분석, 추적자시험, 지하수유형분석 등 수리지질학적 특성을 통하여 오염부지에서 나타나는 자연저감의 효과를 파악하였다. 또한 이 결과를 반영하여 최종적으로 거리별 자연 저감율 및 발현된 생분해능 등을 평가하였다. 거리에 따른 자연저감율을 평가한 결과, 선형기울기($K/V_x$)는 -0.0248로 계산되었으며 산정된 체적저감율은 $1.7{\times}10^{-3}/day$로 나타났다. 연구지역의 발현된 BTEX 총 생분해능은 9.1~10.0 mg/L의 범위(평균 9.7 mg/L)에 있으며 탈질화 과정이 약 63.6%로 가장 큰 영향을 주는 redox 과정임을 확인하였다. 본 유류오염지역의 지하수 BTEX 오염농도 평균 1.326 mg/L임을 고려할 때 생분해능은 충분할 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구에서는 유류로 오염된 현장 주유소를 대상으로 토양증기추출 공정 적용시 연속추출과 간헐추출 운전의 효율성을 검토하였다. 공기주입 후 압력을 측정한 결과 동일 조건에서도 공기주입정 헤드(head) 압력이 상이하게 나타나 실험부지내 토양이 매우 불균일하다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 간헐식은 1시간 가동 후 3시간 정지시켰으며, 연속식은 50분 가동 후 10분 휴지하는 것을 연속추출한 것으로 가정하였다. 송풍기의 용량은 $1m^3/min$이었다. 추출모드의 영향실험은 오염농도가 심한 두 지점을 선정하여 실시하였으며, 48시간 동안 온라인 모니터링으로 측정한 TPHgas 농도를 적산하여 비교한 결과 1시간 가동 후 3시간 휴지한 간헐추출모드가 연속추출모드보다 높게 나타났다. 일반적으로 토양증기추출 공정이 장기간 가동된다는 점을 고려한다면 오염가스 휘발량, 전력비용, 그리고 시설의 감가상각비 등에서 볼 때 간헐추출모드로 운전하는 것이 연속추출모드 보다 더 유리할 것으로 판단된다.

This present was carried out to evaluate the adaptability of stabilization method which was used industrial byproducts as the stabilization agency in the abandoned mine site. In order to investigate stabilization effect on As-contaminated soils treated by industrial by-products, batch tests and column tests were carried out with As-contaminated soils collected from farmland around the abandoned mine site. ZVI(zero valent iron) and SRS(steel refining slag) was shown a good treatment effect. After the column test, sequential extraction test and simple bioavailability extraction test(SBET) were carried out to analysis of the soil, and scanning electron micrograph(SEM) analysis was carried out to compare the morphology and structure of ZVI and SRS before and after reacting with arsenic in the soil. As a result, ZVI and SRS were shown 93%, 62% reduction of As concentration respectively by comparison with untreated soils. Therefore, if ZVI and SRS are used as treatment materials in As-contaminated soils, it is expected that the As leaching from soils is reduced effectively.

The Greater Sudbury Region has been known as one of the most ecologically disturbed areas in Canada for the past century. Plant adaptation to environmental stressors often results in modifications in gene expression at the transcriptional level. The main objective of the present study was to compare the expression of genes associated with nickel resistance in Acer rubrum and Populus tremuloides growing in areas contaminated and uncontaminated with metals. Primers targeting Nramps4, Nas 3, At2G, MRP4 and alpha-tubulin genes were used to amplify cDNA of both species. The expression of the At2G gene, was $2{\times}$ and $9{\times}$ higher in P. tremuloides than in A. rubrum for St. Charles (uncontaminated site) and Kelly Lake (metal contaminated site), respectively. There was a much smaller difference between the two species for the Nramps 4 gene as its expression was $2.5{\times}$ and $3{\times}$ higher in P. tremuloides compared to A. rubrum from St. Charles and Kelly Lake, respectively. The same trend was observed for the MRP4 gene whose expression was $2{\times}$ and $14{\times}$ higher in P. tremuloides than in A. rubrum from St. Charles and Kelly Lake, respectively. For the Nas 3 gene, the expression was similar in both sites. This gene was upregulated $11{\times}$ and $10{\times}$ in P. tremuloides compared to A. rubrum in samples from St. Charles and Kelly Lake, respectively. In general, no significant difference was observed between the metal contaminated and uncontaminated sites for gene expression. In depth analysis revealed that AT2G and MRP4 genes were significantly down regulated in A. rubrum from the metal contaminated sites compared to those from uncontaminated areas, but environmental factors driving this differential gene expression couldn't be established.

본 연구지역은 피혁 제조공정에서 발생된 고형폐기물, 처리용수 및 유류 저장용기 등이 매립되어 있는 지역이다. 피혁폐기물 매립으로 발생된 침출수에 의한 오염영역을 파악하기 위하여 토양·지하수 오염도 조사 및 전기비저항탐사를 수행하였다. 토양오염 분석 결과 TPH와 아연 항목에서 토양오염 우려기준을 초과하였으며, 침출수 및 지하수의 경우 6가 크롬 항목이 지하수 정화기준을 초과하는 것으로 파악되었다. 전기비저항탐사는 토양·지하수 오염특성 및 확산경로를 파악하기 위하여 쌍극자배열법으로 전극간격이 5 m인 총 10개의 측선을 설정하였다. 토양·지하수 오염도 조사의 결과와 저비저항이상대가 비교적 잘 일치하였다. 따라서 본 연구지역과 같이 폐기물 매립에 따른 불규칙한 지층분포와 토양·지하수가 복합적으로 오염된 지역에서 전기비저항탐사를 병행하면 오염원에 의한 수직?수평적인 확산경로, 오염영역 및 향후 오염 예상지역에 대한 모니터링을 계획하는데 있어서 유용한 조사기법으로 사용될 수 있을 것이다.
