Abstract

In recent years, concern about the decommissioning of nuclear power plants has been growing according to the nuclear power plants aging. Although site reuse is one of the most important issues in doing decommissioning of nuclear power plants in view of the internal affairs, there is currently no specific standard of the site release criteria for site reuse in the Republic of Korea. In this study, we analyzed the international safety standards for the site release(IAEA's Safety Guide No. WS-G-5.1) and the present domestic condition. Also, we studied the site release criteria and real life examples about advanced countries such as United states and Europe, which already have experience of decommissioning or site release. As a results of the study, we suggested proper standards and future consideration to establish site release criteria. This will be used for preliminary data for establishing the domestic site release criteria after the decommissioning of nuclear power plants.

세계적으로 수명을 다한 원자력발전소들이 증가하면서 노후화 된 원전의 해체에 대한 관심도 커져가고 있다. 특히 국토가 좁고 자원이 부족한 국내의 경우 원전을 해체하는데 있어 부지 재이용 문제는 하나의 중요한 사안이지만, 아직까지 부지 재이용을 위한 구체적인 법적 부지해제기준이 마련되어 있지 않다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 부지해제를 위한 IAEA의 국제적 안전기준(Safety Guide No. WS-G-5.1) 및 국내 관련기준, 미국 유럽 등 선진국들의 부지해제 사례들을 분석하였으며, 이를 바탕으로 적절한 선량기준 및 국내 부지해제 기준 수립 시 고려해야하는 사항들을 제언하였다. 이는 원전 해체 후 부지 재이용을 위한 국내 부지해제 기준 수립을 위한 기초자료로 활용될 것으로 판단된다.
