Environmental radiation monitoring around the nuclear facilities nuclear material and technology control nuclear emergency preparedness operation of chemical wastewater treatment facility

In order to investigate and evaluate the radiation environment around the nuclear facilities, the radioactivity analysis of 1359 samples and environment radiation real-time measurements at 10 sites were performed. The four times per year off-site dose assessment were performed and the first and second half environment radiation monitoring reports were submitted. Also we participated in the IAEA ALMERA activity and domestic and overseas radioactivity analysis. KAERI safeguards is to implement obligations based on the Agreement and Additional Protocol between ROK and IAEA for the Application of Safeguards, Bilateral Agreements between ROK and USA, Canada, Australia, Japan, and Domestic Nuclear Safety Law. For the IAEA Safeguards, KAERI should submit annual report for extended declaration, DIQs for nuclear facilities, accounting reports on nuclear material and advanced notifications. According to the information, KAERI should be inspected by IAEA and NSSC. Also, KAERI should provide annual reports based on the Bilateral Agreements. HANARO emergency planning zone(EPZ) was reestablished around the radius 1.5km of HANARO reactor because the EPZ base radius was expanded in the related Act. Emergency plan was updated 4 times to reflect the operation experience and request from regulatory body, etc. The training program was developed and applied every year, the exercise scenario was developed and implemented 27 times in 3 years We will comprehensively manage general environmental affairs, fulfill legal obligations, support stable research activities, and purify the environment around the nuclear research complex. Moreover we contribute to the positive image of nuclear energy as well as environmental preservation
