AbstractAbstract
[en] Domestic radioactive waste is generated by nuclear power plants, the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute and KEPCO Nuclear Fuel Company. These nuclear energy agencies have their own waste tracking system. To track waste more efficiently, it is necessary to build an integrated tracking system from the viewpoint of the final disposer. As for the korea Atomic Energy Research Institute, the decommissioning waste due to the decommissioning of research reactors No. 1 and 2, and the low and intermediate-level radioactive waste, generated by the operation of the High Flux Advanced Neutron Application Reactor(HANARO), account for the most. The solid waste from each facility and laboratory is sorted and collected according to radiation levels and the contents. For starters, according to the contents, the waste is divided into combustible, noncombustible compressible and non-compressible waste. The combustible waste, generated by the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute, is treated according to the low and intermediate-level radioactive waste delivery regulation of the Nuclear Safety and Security Commission and the acceptance criteria of the disposal facility. KEPCO Nuclear Fuel Company is making the nuclear fuel used in nuclear power plants. Radioactive waste is generated in the nuclear fuel manufacturing process, and it is classified into 8 types of waste according to the solid waste management procedure. Most of the radioactive waste, generated while KEPCO Nuclear Fuel Company processes the light-water reactor and heavy-water reactor nuclear fuel, is classified as low and intermediate-level radioactive waste. The radioactive liquid waste, generated in the radiation controlled area in nuclear fuel processing facilities, is divided into low-concentration liquid waste and high-concentration liquid waste. The miscellaneous solids, generated in the Hanbit NPP of Korea Hydro and Nuclear Power Co., Ltd., are classified in consideration of the physical properties, density and amount of the waste, and substances subject to restricted disposal. This paper investigated information on the structure, functions and maintenance of the systems implemented and operated by individual countries and IAEA, and the types of managed data, and analyzed the detailed configuration of the system and the characteristics of DBMS (Data Base Management System), and discovered during the analysis process the information on the waste management in each country or institution. This paper investigated the classification standards and treatment methods according to the characteristics of the radioactive substances handled by each agency. These classification and treatment methods can be applied to the database when the radioactive waste tracking system is implemented in the future. Also, this paper analyzed the radioactive waste tracking system of each country. Most overseas waste tracking systems are configured based on the ORACLE DBMS. The ORACLE DBMS is highly secure, and can manage large-scale databases. Also, Germany's ReVK and US IWTS are using the Bar-Code system that can track and manage all waste data, generated during decommissioning or transportation, in real time, and the real-time tracking system of web-based US CID can simply create and output reports quickly. If the advantages of overseas waste tracking systems are added to the domestic integrated waste tracking system, more efficient and safer management of radioactive waste will be possible
