Description

Korea Hydro and Nuclear Power Co., Ltd. (KHNP) developed new IP-2 packages to transport Low- and Intermediate-Level radioactive Waste (LILW) steel drums from nuclear power plants to a disposal facility in accordance with IAEA and Korean transport regulations of radioactive material. Radiation shielding evaluation of the packages was carried out to demonstrate compliance with the regulatory requirements for IP-2 packages of radioactive material. Dose rate limits of LILW drums contained in the packages were determined
