연합인증

연합인증 가입 기관의 연구자들은 소속기관의 인증정보(ID와 암호)를 이용해 다른 대학, 연구기관, 서비스 공급자의 다양한 온라인 자원과 연구 데이터를 이용할 수 있습니다.

이는 여행자가 자국에서 발행 받은 여권으로 세계 각국을 자유롭게 여행할 수 있는 것과 같습니다.

연합인증으로 이용이 가능한 서비스는 NTIS, DataON, Edison, Kafe, Webinar 등이 있습니다.

한번의 인증절차만으로 연합인증 가입 서비스에 추가 로그인 없이 이용이 가능합니다.

다만, 연합인증을 위해서는 최초 1회만 인증 절차가 필요합니다. (회원이 아닐 경우 회원 가입이 필요합니다.)

연합인증 절차는 다음과 같습니다.

최초이용시에는
ScienceON에 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 로그인 (본인 확인 또는 회원가입) → 서비스 이용

그 이후에는
ScienceON 로그인 → 연합인증 서비스 접속 → 서비스 이용

연합인증을 활용하시면 KISTI가 제공하는 다양한 서비스를 편리하게 이용하실 수 있습니다.

사용 후 핵연료(SNF: spent nuclear fuel) 지하 처분장에서 발생된 가스는 처분장 내에서 자체로 이동성이 클 뿐 아니라, 처분장 내 방사성핵종 거동에도 영향을 줄 수 있다. 지하 처분장 방벽 내에서 가스-핵종 발생 및 거동 기작에 대한 연구와 가스 거동이 처분장의 안전성에 미치는 영향에 대한 연구가 처분장 건설 이전에 충분히 수행되어져야 함에도 불구하고, 처분장 다중 방벽내 가스-핵종 거동에 대한 연구는 국내는 물론 국외에서 조차 매우 초보적인 단계이다. 본 연구에서는 지하 SNF 처분장 내 가스 발생과 거동 특성과 관련된 국내외 선행연구 결과들을 고찰하여, 가스 발생/거동 기작을 처분장의 수리지질학적 진화과정에 따라 분류하여 설명하였다. 처분장 내 가스 발생을 크게 SNF의 핵분열에 의한 방사성 가스 생성, SNF 저장 용기의 부식에 의한 가스 발생, 지하수의 산화-환원 반응에 의한 가스 생성, 미생물 활동과 천연 방벽 내 지화학적 반응에 의한 가스 생성 등 총 5가지 유형으로 구분하여 정리하였다. 처분장 다중 방벽 내 가스 거동과 관련된 선행연구 자료들을 정리하여, 방벽 내 가스 거동 시나리오를 다공성 매체에서 일어나는 거동 형태에 따라, 총 4가지 형태(① visco-capillary 흐름을 포함하는 공극 내 자유상 가스 이동, ② 공극 수 내 용존상 기체로서 이류 및 확산 이동, ③ 체적팽창에 의한 거동(dilatant pathway), ④ 가압파쇄에 의한 인장 절리 흐름 등)로 구분하여 제시하였다. 본 연구를 통해 고찰한 SNF 처분장의 다중 방벽 시스템 내 가스 발생 기작과 거동 특성자료들은, 향 후 지하 SNF 처분장 내 가스-핵종 거동관련 다양한 실험 및 모델링 연구를 계획하고, 국내 건설할 처분장의 안전성을 가스 거동관점에서 평가하는데 유용하게 사용될 것으로 기대한다.
