Description

The Korean Reference Disposal System(KRS 1) for the disposal of the high level radioactive waste from nuclear power plants has developed through long term research and development program. The repository with multi barrier system could be developed with a consideration of geological characteristics in Korea, characteristics of spent fuels, and other factors affecting the safety and feasibility of disposal system. A small scale underground research tunnel, KURT, was constructed in a crystalline rock mass for the validation of the Korean reference disposal system in 2006. KURT with total length of 255m will be used for conducting various in situ tests such as heater test, groundwater flow test, migration test, EDZ teat, and deep borehole test
