  • A laboratory investigation of the behavior of radioactive metals under the various waste combustion atmospheres was conducted to predict the parameters that influence their partitioning behavior during waste incineration. Neodymium, samarium, cerium, gadolinium, cesium and cobalt were used as non-radioactive surrogate metals that are representative of uranium, plutonium, americium, curium, radioactive cesium, and radioactive cobalt, respectively. Except for cesium, all of the investigated surrogate metal compounds converted into each of their stable oxides at medium temperatures from 400 to 90$0^{\circ}C$, under oxygen- deficient and oxygen-sufficient atmospheres (0.001-atm and 0.21-atm $O_2$). At high temperatures above 1,40$0^{\circ}C$, cerium, neodymium and samarium in the form of their oxides started to vaporize but the vaporization rates were very slow up to 150$0^{\circ}C$ . Inorganic chlorine (NaCl) as well as organic chlorine (PVC) did not impact the volatility of investigated Nd$_2$O$_3$, CoO and Cs$_2$O. The results of laboratory investigations suggested that the combustion chamber operating parameters affecting the entrainment of particulate and filtration equipment operating parameters affecting particle collection efficiency be the governing parameters of alpha radionuclides partitioning during waste incineration.

  • 대한민국 첫 상업원전인 고리1호기는 40년간의 성공적인 운전을 끝내고 2017년 6월 18일 영구정지 되었다. 고리1호기는 본격적인 해체에 앞서 터빈건물에 폐기물처리시설 건설을 계획하고 있다. 각종 방사성폐기물은 폐기물처리시설에서 제염, 해체, 절단, 용융되어 자체처분 되거나 방사성폐기물 처분장으로 보내 진다. 해체폐기물 중 대형금속방사성폐기물은 주로 1차 계통측 기기들로 높은 방사능을 띄고 있어 해체활동 중 작업자의 피폭관리가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 대형금속방사성폐기물 중 크기가 가장 크고 형상이 복잡한 증기발생기를 선정하여 RESRAD-RECYCLE 코드를 이용하여 작업자 피폭선량을 평가하고 저감화 방안을 수립 하고자 한다.

  • In recent years, the metal industry has become increasingly aware of an unwanted component in metal scrap-radioactive material. Worldwide, there have 38 instances where radioactive sources were unintentionally smelted in the course of recycling metal scrap. In some cases contaminated metal consumer products were distributed internationally. U.S. mill that have smelted a radioactive source face costs resulting from decontamination, waste disposal, and lost profits that range from 7 to 23 million U.S. dollars for each case. Despite radiation monitoring system does not provide 100% protection, POSCO has developed the system for the first time in the steel industry of KOREA.
