  • In TSPA of long-term post closure radiological safety on permanent disposal of HLW in Korea, appropriate management of input and output data through QA is necessary. The robust QA system is developed using the T2R3 principles applicable for five major steps in R&D's. The proposed system is implemented in the web-based system so that all participants in TSPA are able to access the system. In addition, the internet based input database for TSPA is developed. Currently data from literature surveys, domestic laboratory and field experiments as well as expert elicitation are applied for TSPA.

  • 고준위폐기물처분장에서 완충재는 공학적방벽의 주요 구성요소 중 하나이다. 본 연구에서는 국 내외의 완충재 요구사항과 성능기준을 분석하고, 우리나라 고준위폐기물처분장에 적합한 완충재 개념 도출을 위한 접근방안을 제시하였다. 완충재의 주요 성능기준 인자항목으로, 수리전도도, 핵종 저지능, 팽윤압, 열전도도, 역학적 특성치(mechanical properties), 유기물함량(organic carbon content), 일라이트화 속도(illitization rate) 등을 고려하였다. 우리나라 고준위폐기물처분장 완충재 물질로서 국산 벤토나이트(Ca-벤토나이트)와 대안재로 MX-80 벤토나이트(Na-벤토나이트)를 제안하였다. 완충재의 기술사양은 Ca-벤토나이트 경우엔 우리나라의 성능기준을, Na-벤토나이트의 경우는 스웨덴의 성능기준을 보수적으로 만족하는 값으로 설정하였다. 완충재의 두께는 전단거동, 핵종 유출, 열전도의 측면에서 평가하여 결정하였으며, 평가결과 완충재의 두께는 0.25 ~ 0.5 m 사이가 적절하였다. 그러나 최종적인 완충재의 두께는 향후 보다 심도 있는 열-수리-역학적 평가와 경제적, 공학적 측면을 고려하여 결정하여야 할 것이다.

  • High level radioactive wastes, such as spent fuels generated from nuclear power plant, will be disposed in a deep geological repository. To maintain the integrity of the disposal canister and to carry out the process effectively, the emplacement process for the canister system in borehole of disposal tunnel should be well defined. In this study, the concept of the disposal canister emplacement process for deep geological disposal was established. To do this, the spent fuel arisings and disposal rate were reviewed. Also, not only design requirements, such canister and disposal depth but also preliminary repository layout concept were reviewed. Based on the requirements and the other bases, the canister emplacement process in the borehole of the disposal tunnel was established. The established concept of the disposal canister emplacement process will be improved continuously with the future studies. And this concept can be effectively used in implementing the reference repository system of our own case.

  • This study presents the results of an economic analysis for a comparison of the single layer and double layer alternatives with respect to a HLW-repository. According to a cost analysis undertaken in the Korean case, the single layer option was the most economical alternative. The disposal unit cost was estimated to be 222 EUR/kgU. In order to estimate such a disposal cost, an estimation process was sought after the cost objects, cost drivers and economic indicators were taken into consideration. The disposal cost of spent fuel differs greatly from general product costs in the cost structure. Product costs consist of direct material costs and direct labor and manufacturing overhead costs, whereas the disposal cost is comprised of construction costs, operating costs and closure costs. In addition, the closure cost is required after a certain period of time elapses following the building of a repository.

  • A Simple Large Model (SLM), which can be used to make thermal calculation for a deep geological repository with finite number of HLW canisters, was developed. In order to develop the SLM, a Simple Basic Model (SBM), which will be a unit of the SLM, was optimized first. The SBM was optimized to achieve the same maximum buffer temperature as that of the Detailed Basic Model (DBM) representing the real geometric aspects of the repository. In contrast to the models with the assumption of infinite number of canisters which cannot consider boundary effect, the SLM can model the real repository with finite number of canisters and thus consider the boundary effect. Thermal results from the SLM can be used to evaluate the reliability of the models, which do not consider boundary effect. This model can also be used to simulate the thermal layout design and to analyze the thermal safety of a deep geological repository as well as an underground laboratory.
