The second-stage near surface disposal facility for low and very low level radioactive waste's permanent disposal is to be built. During the institutional control period, the inadvertent intrusion of the general public is limited. But after the institutional control period, the access to the general public is not restricted. Therefore human who has purpose of residence and resource exploration can intrude the disposal facility. In this case, radioactive effects to the intruder should be limited within regulatory dose limits. This study conducted the safety assessment of human intrusion on the second-stage surface disposal facility through drilling and post drilling scenario. Results of drilling and post drilling scenario were satisfied with regulatory dose limits. The result showed that post-drilling scenario was more significant than drilling scenario. According to the human intrusion time and behavior after the closure of the facility, dominant radionuclide contributing to the intruder was different. Sensitivity analyses on the parameters about the human behavior were also satisfied with regulatory dose limits. Especially, manual redistribution factor was the most sensitive parameter on exposure dose. A loading plan of spent filter waste and dry active waste was more effective than a loading plan of spent filter waste and other wastes for the radiological point of view. These results can be expected to provide both robustness and defense in depth for the development of safety case further.

우리나라 중 저준위 방사성폐기물의 처분시설개발을 위해 Safety Case 종합프로그램을 구축하였다. Safety Case 종합프로그램은 단계별 처분시설 종합개발을 위한 안전성판단과 계획수립을 목적으로 IAEA 등 국제기준을 참고하여 국내 환경에 적합하도록 구축하였다. 처분시설 종합안전성 확보체계는 최적화전략, 강건성전략, 논증가능성전략 및 심층방어전략에 따라 안전목표와 안전원칙을 만족하도록 구성하였다. 처분시설의 안전성은 평가기반의 품질에 따라 불확실성 저감을 위한 단계별 안전성평가와 안전성 수준의 확인 및 의사결정판단을 위한 다양한 신뢰성증진을 통해서 확보하도록 하였다.

A safety assessment is carried out for the near-surface radioactive waste disposal in the reference engineered vault facility. The analysis is mainly divided into two parts. One deals with the release and transport of radionuclide in the vault and unsaturated zone. The other deals with the transport of radionuclide in the saturated zone and radiological impacts to a human group under well drinking water scenario. The parameters for source-term, geosphere and biosphere models are mainly obtained from the site specific data. The results show that the annual effective doses are dominated by long lived, mobile radionuclides and their associated daughters. And it is found that the total effective dose for drinking water is far below the general criteria of regulatory limit for radioactive waste disposal facility.

처분시설의 개발과정에서 안전성평가 문서관리는 체계적인 품질활동이 수반되어야 하며, 본 논문에서는 중 저준위 방사성폐기물 처분시설의 건설단계에 보완된 부지특성, 지하수특성, 최종설계내용 및 모니터링 입력데이터를 포함하여 Safety Case를 위한 안전성평가 입력데이터 품질보증체계를 설명하였다. 현장/실험결과데이터, 실제 설계데이터 및 적치계획, 콘크리트 물성데이터, 지하수, 기상, 지진에 대한 현장 모니터링데이터, 생태계데이터 및 핵종재고량데이터를 입력데이터 결정원칙에 따라 선별하고 안전성평가에 적용할 수 있는 데이터 관리체계를 확보하였다. 이는 향후 처분시설 안전성평가의 데이터 불확실성 저감 및 안전성 증진에 기여할 것으로 판단된다.

개정예정인 중${\cdot}$저준위 방사성폐기물 처분시설 인도규정에서는 방사성폐기물 처분을 위해 폐기물 발생자가 방사성폐기물의 처분요건 적합성을 입증하도록 권고하고 있다. 이에 따르면 중${\cdot}$저준위 방사성폐기물의 처분을 위해서는 폐기물의 핵종농도, 물리화학적 특성 및 그 건전성 등이 확보 되어야하며 폐기물 발생자는 이러한 정보를 처분사업자에게 전달하도록 규정되어 있다. 또한 처분 사업자는 처분시설의 안전성 평가를 통해 부지특성을 고려한 방사성폐기물 인수기준(Site Specific Waste Acceptance Criteria, SWAC)을 규정하며, 발생자는 이 기준에 따라 중${\cdot}$저준위 방사성폐기물을 관리, 처리, 인도하도록 규정되어 있다. 상기 규정과 기준을 준수하기위해 폐기물 발생자는 처분대상이 되는 폐기물을 처분시설로 운반하기 이전에 처분적합성을 사전에 입증하여야 하며 이를 위하여 관련 제도 및 절차인 방사성폐기물인증프로그램을 개발하여야 한다. 본 연구에서는 원자력 선진국들에서 시행하고 있는 방사성폐기물인증프로그램에 대한 심층 분석을 통해 국내 원전에 적용 가능한 인증프로그램 초안을 개발하였고, 그 적용성을 검증하기 위하여 현재 울진 1, 2 발전소에서 시범 적용하고 있다. 앞으로 시범적용 결과분석을 통해 국내 여건에 부합하는 방사성폐기물인증프로그램을 개발하고자 한다.

Evaluating the effectiveness of the radiation protection measures deployed at the Centralized Radioactive Waste Management Facility in Ghana is pivotal to guaranteeing the safety of personnel, public and the environment, thus the need for this study. Radiagem^TM 2000 was used in measuring the dose rate of the facility whilst the personal radiation exposure of the personnel from 2011 to 2022 was measured from the thermoluminescent dosimeter badges using Harshaw 6600 Plus Automated TLD Reader. The decay store containing scrap metals from dismantled disused sealed radioactive sources (DSRS), and low-level wastes measured the highest dose rate of 1.06 ± 0.92 µSv·h^-1. The range of the mean annual average personnel dose equivalent is 0.41-2.07 mSv. The annual effective doses are below the ICRP limit of 20 mSv. From the multivariate principal component analysis biplot, all the personal dose equivalent formed a cluster, and the cluster is mostly influenced by the radiological data from the outer wall surface of the facility where no DSRS are stored. The personal dose equivalents are not primarily due to the radiation exposures of staff during operations with DSRS at the facility but can be attributed to environmental radiation, thus the current radiation protection measures at the Facility can be deemed as effective.

The pool $(3m{\times}6m{\times}10m{\times}$ in Irradiated Materials Examination Facility is generally used to transport irradiated materials between a moving cask and hot-cell. During the operation in the pool such as loading/unloading the cask, holding specimen and bucket elevation, water maybe contaminated by radioactive or contaminated impurities from irradiated materials. Then, it must be purified and filtered continuously to keep lower radioactivity than that of regulation prescribed by RCA Korea Activity in a part of radioactive contamination control. This paper described radioactive contamination distribution of water as transported materials, which is related to effective operation of purification and filtration system.

Radioactive waste generated from nuclear power plant decommissioning shall be strictly managed so that radioactive materials above the allowable limit are not leaked into the environment. Radioactive wastes shall be classified and treated for management based on characteristics such as the type of waste, physicochemical properties, nuclide concentration and radioactivity. Waste characterization report shall be prepared and submitted to the disposal facility operator to ensure that the treated waste is suitable for disposal. The disposal facility operator shall review the waste Characterization report and visit the nuclear power plant decommissioning site to ensure that the wastes are processed step by step according to the plan. The waste Characterization report may be used as input data to evaluate disposal facility safety. Domestic and foreign data are collected and reviewed to confirm the entire processes from waste generation to delivery. This paper proposes the method to prepare the waste Characterization report which contains data and information on waste characteristics, treatment facilities & method and packaging method & container.
