Abstract

In Korea, multi-barrier system of Finnish-type concept (KBS-3) is the preferred option for the management of high-level radioactive waste. Thus, it need to establish the requirement and preference for rock type of site around deep geological repository, systematically. In Sweden, requirements and preferenc of rock is formulated by safety case and build up the ration to conduct the site evaluation with the aim of advancing public acceptance. This paper provides a technical basis for establishing site selection requirements and preference for rock property of a deep geological repository.

국내에서 고준위방사성폐기물 관리 대안으로 핀란드식 다중방벽시스템 개념(KBS-3)을 우선 고려하고 있다. 따라서 심층처분시설 부지를 암석에 대한 체계적인 안전 요건 및 선호 사항 마련이 요구된다. 스웨덴은 종합 안전성 입증체계 하에서 요건과 선호 사항을 공식화하고 부지평가 위한 과학적인 근거를 마련하여 부지선정에 대한 대국민 신뢰도를 제고하였다. 본 연구결과는 향후 부지선정과 관련된 암석의 요건 및 선호 사항 마련에 기술적 기반자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.
