Abstract

The vast volumes of data that are generated during site characterization and associated research for the disposal of high-level radioactive waste require effective data management to properly chronicle and archive this information. The Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Management Company, SKB, established the SICADA database for site selection, evaluation, analysis, and modeling. The German Federal Company for Radioactive Waste Disposal, BGE, established ArbeitsDB, a database and document management system, and the ELO data system to manage data collected according to the Repository Site Selection Act. The U.K. Nuclear Waste Services established the Data Management System to manage any research and survey data pertaining to nuclear waste storage and disposal. The U.S. Department of Energy and Office of Civilian Radioactive Waste Management established the Technical Data Management System for data management and subsequent licensing procedures during site characterization surveys. The presented cases undertaken by these national agencies highlight the importance of data quality management and the scalability of data utilization to ensure effective data management. Korea should also pursue the establishment of both a data management concept for radioactive waste disposal that considers data quality management and scalability from a long-term perspective and an associated data management system.

고준위방사성폐기물 처분을 위한 다양한 조사와 연구를 진행하는 과정에서 막대한 양의 자료가 생산되며 이를 관리하기 위한 자료 관리가 필요하다. 스웨덴의 SKB는 SICADA를 구축하여 부지선정, 평가, 해석, 분석 및 모델링에 활용할 수 있게 하였고, 독일의 BGE는 부지선정법에 따라 자료를 관리하기 위해 데이터베이스 및 문서 관리시스템 ArbeitsDB와 자료시스템 ELO를 구축하였다. 영국의 NWS는 DMS를 구축하여 연구, 조사 자료를 관리할 수 있도록 하였다. 미국의 DOE와 OCRWM은 부지특성화 조사를 진행하면서 자료 관리 및 이후의 인허가 절차를 위하여 TDMS를 구축하였다. 해외사례 조사, 분석을 통해 자료의 품질관리와 자료 활용의 확장성이 자료 관리에 있어 중요한 부분임을 확인할 수 있다. 향후 우리나라도 장기적인 관점에서 자료의 품질관리와 확장성을 고려한 자료 관리 개념을 확립하고 그에 맞춘 자료 관리 시스템 및 체계를 구축해야 할 것이다.
