AN INTEGRATED SAFETY ASSESSMENT SYSTEM FOR NEAR-SURFACE DISPOSAL OF LOW- AND INTERMEDIATE-LEVEL RADIOACTIVE WASTE IN KOREA

摘要

An integrated safety assessment system to be used for evaluation of near-surface disposal concept has been developed within the framework of safety assessment methodology taken for low- and intermediate-level radioactive waste disposal in Korea. It is to provide an evaluation of the safety of the disposal system in a clear, comprehensive and well-documented manner, and to integrate the results into a defensible package showing reasonable assurance of compliance with regulatory requirements for licensing application. This system is made up of two key components, a system-level safety assessment code and an input database/quality assurance module for safety assessment, which both are interfaced with each other.
