Regulation on radioactive waste management and guidelines in the collection, packing, and management of radioactive waste

The Regulation on Radioactive Waste Management was enacted to effectively manage the radioactive waste generated from KAERI, to prevent the workers and neighbors from being exposed to nuclear radiation, and to prevent the environment from being contaminated by those wastes. The wastes are collected at the generating facilities, and then treated or stored at interim storages. The Regulation on Radioactive Waste Management was revised to reflect the amendment of the procedures requested from the generating facilities for management. This is dependent on the introduction of the RAWMIS and the revision of the relevant laws, since the regulation has been enacted and managed as the internal guidelines of the RWTF, instead of canceling the attached tables and guidelines on the collection of wastes within the existing regulation. It is expected to assist the persons in charge of wastes in the management of systematic history and effective statistics by describing the user's manual of the RAWMIS.
