Abstract

Since a seismic exceeding design load can result in exposing radioactive material during disposal process of radioactive wastes, the repository should be designed with enough seismic margin. In this paper, a seismic fragility analysis was performed to evaluate the seismic capacity of surface facility structures. According to the analysis results, since inspection & store facility and radioactive waste facility have a rectangle geometry, the seismic capacity was differently presented about 23%~43% according to the axis of structures. The HCLPF capacity of inspection & store facility and radioactive waste facility was 0.52g and 0.93g, respectively. And it was observed that seismic capacity of radioactive waste facility was similar to that of a containment for nuclear power plants.

방사성폐기물의 처리과정에서 발생한 설계하중 이상의 지진은 방사성 물질을 외부로 노출시킬 수 있으므로 방사성폐기물 처분장은 설계시 지진에 대하여 충분한 여유도를 가지도록 설계되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 방폐장의 지상구조물에 대한 지진성능을 평가하기 위하여 지진 취약도 분석을 수행하였다. 지진 취약도 평가에 의하면, 해석모델로 선정된 인수저장 시설과 방사성폐기물 건물은 장방형의 구조물로써 구조물의 축에 따라 지진 성능이 약 23%~43% 다르게 나타났다. 최소 손상수준을 기준으로 할 경우 인수저장시설과 방사성폐기물 건물의 HCLPF성능은 각각 0.52g와 0.93g로 나타났으며, 방사성폐기물 건물은 원전의 격납건물과 유사한 지진성능을 보였다.
