  • This research project is a program promoted to seek diversification of domestic radioactive waste analysis institutions, and seeks public development, win-win cooperation, and cooperation between the entrusted institution and the entrusted institution. Accordingly, the entrusted institution established a standard analysis procedure for establishing a quality control system for radioactivity analysis, establishing a radiation control zone, obtaining KOLAS accreditation, and performing proficiency tests, which are the performance ranges requested by the entrusted institution, and intersecting the radioactive isotope waste generated at the actual site. Verification was performed to confirm the analysis quality. In addition, facilities and equipment for radioactivity analysis were supplemented and expanded, and the basic technology foundation and technical skills were secured through securing professional technicians and education/training. It is judged that the entrusted institution will contribute to securing radiation safety through the smooth execution of treatment, disposal, and transportation through value creation and analysis of radioactive waste generated by radioactive isotope-using institutions (research institutes, hospitals, industries, etc.) by succeeding in this research project do.

  • Korea Radioactive Waste Agency (KORAD) began to operate the low and intermediate level radioactive waste disposal facility in Gyeongju and to transport the radioactive waste containing radioactive isotopes from Daejeon to the disposal facility for the first time at 2015. For this radioactive waste transportation, in this study, radiological impact assessment is carried out for workers and public. The dose rate to workers and public during the transportation is estimated with consideration of the transportation scenarios and is compared with the Korean regulatory limit. The sensitivity analysis is carried out by considering both the variation of release ratios of the radioactive isotopes from the waste and the variation of the distances between the radioactive waste drum and worker during loading and unloading of radioactive waste. As for all the transportation scenarios, radiological impacts for workers and public have met the regulatory limits.
