The biosphere has important function in the safety assessment of a radioactive waste disposal facility. A biosphere model in the safety assessment needs various input data that contain significantly inherent uncertainties. This paper reviews the effects of the input data on the radiological impact assessment from main radionuclides such as ¹⁴C and ⁹⁹Tc in the biosphere model. In addition, it is confirmed that the safety criteria is met, when the conservative input data for the intake rate, soil to plant concentration ratio, and distribution coefficients of the radionuclides are applied and probabilistic analysis are conducted in the biosphere model. Nevertheless, it is required to generate site-specific input data for the confidence building and reduce excessive conservatism in the biosphere model.

Risk-based security impact evaluation may be affected by various factors according to numerous combinations of explosive devices, cutting devices, impact vehicles, and specific attack location to consider. Presently, in planning and design phases, designers are still often uncertain of their responsibility, lack of information and training of security. Therefore, designers are still failing to exploit the potential to reduce threats on site. In this study, the concept of security impact assessment is introduced in order to derive the performing design for safety in design phase. For this purpose, a framework for security impact assessment model using risk-based approach for bridge structures is suggested. The suggested model includes of information survey, classification of terror threats, and quantitative estimation of severity and occurrence.

본 연구는 오염부지의 불포화대 내 오염물질의 농도가 지하수면에 유입되는 경로에서 토양유출수 농도의 변화를 연구하였다. 침투율의 범위를 통계적으로 분석하는 방식의 연구방법으로 위해성평가 대상 오염물질 13종을 대상으로 지하수 유입농도 감소의 경향성을 살펴보았다. 벤젠, 에틸벤젠, 톨루엔, 크실렌의 경우에는 낮은 토양분배계수값과 생분해로 인해서 시간이 지날수록 낮은 지하수 유입농도를 보이는 것으로 파악하였다. 생분해지수 및 침투율의 불확실성을 통계적으로 표현한 결과, 상대농도에서는 불확실성이 그다지 크게 나타나지 않았기 때문에 그 경향을 계산된 토양유출수 평균값으로 나타낼 수 있었다. 중금속의 경우는 지연계수가 상대적으로 크기 때문에 오염원에서의 토양유출수 농도가 수십년 동안에도 감소하지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 청주 지역 현장 부지의 연간 침투율을 계산하여 현장특이적 침투율값으로 활용할 경우, 계산된 오염물질의 토양 유출수 농도를 시계열로 표현하여 국내 평균 침투율에 의한 상대농도 대표값과 비교하였다. 마지막으로 파이썬(Python) 프로그래밍 언어로 구성한 코드를 부록에 수록하여 타 연구자들이 오염원 고갈에 의한 용존 농도 감소를 계산하는데 활용할 수 있도록 하였다.

본 연구에서는 내분비계 장애물질의 영향 및 생태계 건강성의 스크리닝 평가를 위해 미꾸리를 지표종으로 선정하여 대조지점(RA)과 농업지점(AS)에서 biomarker 4가지 항목과 bioindicator 4가지 항목을 포함하여 총 8가지 항목의 생물지표를 분석하였다. 생태계 건강성 평가를 위한 생물지표의 분석 결과 독성 화학물질의 영향을 나타내는 ethoxyresorufin-O-deethylase(EROD), acetylcholinesterase(AChE) 및 DNA damage 등의 생화학적 생물지표는 대조지점(RA)에 비해 유의한 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 반면, 내분비계 장애물질의 영향을 반영하는 vitellogenin(VTG)는 농업지점(AS)에서 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았고, 개체수준의 생물지표(condition factor (CF), hepato-somatic index (HSI), gonado-somatic index (GSI)) 또한 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 따라서 농업지점(AS)의 생태계 건강성은 내분비계 장애물질에 의한 영향은 미비한 것으로 판단되었으나, 농약, 중금속 등과 같은 독성을 보이는 화학물질이나 농업 지역의 특수성에 따른 서식지 환경 조건에 의해 일부 영향을 받은 것으로 사료되었다. 본 연구는 생화학적 생물지표와 개체수준의 생물지표를 이용한 스크리닝 평가로서 농업지역에 대한 종합적인 생태계 건강성 평가를 위해서는 생물지표 적용 항목을 확대하고, 개체군이나 군집 수준의 분석이 추가적으로 적용 되어야 하며 수생태계 내의 추정 오염물질에 대한 분석이 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

In order to analyze the impact of fine dust generated from a construction waste intermediate processing site on the surrounding areas, diverse types of samples were collected from inside the site and surrounding areas. The impact analysis results of samples are as follows. (1) Compared to the air quality management standards by the Ministry of Environment, the concentration of fine dust within the site was 30 to 46% for PM10 and 14 to 42% for PM2.5, which was not much different from the general air quality level. (2) It was found that PM10 within the site may have a partial effect on the air quality, but when the blocking facilities in the site, wheel washing facilities at vehicle entry and exit route, and sprinkler during working were maintained, the impact on the nearby area was not high. (3) In the case of PM2.5, its concentration was influenced more by the exhaust fumes from work vehicles than fine dust generated during construction waste processing. Since the PM2.5 concentrations in the site and surrounding area were not much different from the general air quality, there was little correlation with the work impact of construction waste intermediate processing sites. (4) Pb, an indicator of heavy metal components, was within 50ng/m³ in all three sites, which was 10% of the domestic management standard and equivalent to the general air quality level. The complaints from residents in nearby areas were filed using indicators based on visual and experiential information in their daily lives, so even if the survey results of environmental impact by the construction intermediate waste processing site are lower than the standard, nearby residents can feel it better than such numerical information. Therefore, specific activities to reduce find dusts should be continuously continued.

The correlations between Large Early Release Frequency (LERF) and Early Fatality need to be investigated for risk-informed application and regulation. In Regulatory Guide (RG) -1.174, while there are decision-making criteria using the measures of Core Damage Frequency (CDF) and LERF, there are no specific criteria on LERF. Since there are both huge uncertainties and large costs needed in off-site consequence calculation, a LERF assessment methodology needs to be developed, and its correlation factor needs to be identified, for risk-informed decision-making. A new method for estimating off-site consequence has been presented and performed for assessing health effects caused by radioisotopes released from severe accidents of nuclear power plants in this study. The MACCS2 code is used for validating the source term quantitatively regarding health effects, depending on the release characteristics of radioisotopes during severe accidents. This study developed a method for identifying correlations between LERF and Early Fatality and validates the results of the model using the MACCS2 code. The results of this study may contribute to defining LERF and finding a measure for risk-informed regulations and risk-informed decision-making.

Seismic fragility analysis, a part of seismic probabilistic risk assessment (SPRA), is commonly used to establish the relationship between a representative property of earthquakes and the failure probability of a structure, component, or system. Current guidelines on the SPRA of nuclear power plants (NPPs) used worldwide mainly reflect the earthquake characteristics of the western United States. However, different earthquake characteristics may have a significant impact on the seismic fragility of a structure. Given the concern, this study aimed to investigate the effects of earthquake characteristics on the seismic fragility of concrete containments housing the OPR-1000 reactor. Earthquake time histories were created from 30 ground motions (including those of the 2016 Gyeongju earthquake) by spectral matching to the site-specific response spectrum of Hanbit nuclear power plants in South Korea. Fragility curves of the containment structure were determined under the linear response history analysis using a lumped-mass stick model and 30 ground motions, and were compared in terms of earthquake characteristics. The results showed that the median capacity and high confidence of low probability of failure (HCLPF) tended to highly depend on the sustained maximum acceleration (SMA), and increase when using the time histories which have lower SMA compared with the others.
