ANALYSIS OF DOSE RATES AROUND THE SLOVENIAN SILO-TYPE LILW REPOSITORY USING ADVANTG [PDF]

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2021
The ADVANTG code was used to analyze dose rates from the proposed Slovenian silo-type low and intermediate level waste (LILW) repository. Detailed calculations of dose rates are challenging as gamma-sources are located in thick concrete containers and ...

A review of the features, events, and processes and scenario development for Korean risk assessment of a deep geological repository for high-level radioactive waste

Nuclear Engineering and Technology, 2023
Currently, various research institutes in Korea are conducting research to develop a safety case for deep geological repository for high-level radioactive waste (HLW). In the past, low and intermediate-level waste (LILW) was approved by a regulatory body

Sorption Behavior of Radionuclides on Engineered and Natural Barriers and Prediction of Sorption Distribution Coefficients Using Support Vector Regression

International Journal of Energy Research, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023
A low‐ and intermediate‐level radioactive waste repository contains various types of radionuclides and organic complexing agents. Their chemical interaction within the repository can lead to the formation of radionuclide‐ligand complexes, influencing the limited retention behaviors of radionuclides.

Preliminary Study on Risk Identification and Assessment Framework for Fusion Radioactive Waste Management

Science and Technology of Nuclear Installations, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022
Fusion reactors are expected to be safer, more environmentally friendly, and to have a lower nuclear proliferation risk, compared with other nuclear energy systems. However, it is widely recognized that a large amount of radioactive materials will be produced by a fusion reactor. Therefore, it is important to fully understand the overall radiation risk

Economic Viability of Metallic Sodium‐Cooled Fast Reactor Fuel in Korea

Science and Technology of Nuclear Installations, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013
This paper evaluates whether SFR metallic nuclear fuel can be economical. To make this determination, the cost of SFCF (SFR fuel cycle facilities) was estimated, and the break‐even point of the manufacturing cost of SFR metallic nuclear fuel for direct disposal option was then calculated. As a result of the cost estimation, the levelized unit cost (LUC)
