“…The site-specific Derived Concentration Guidance Level (DCGL) was calculated along the site resident farmer scenario and the building occupancy scenario by using RESRAD and RESRAD-Build codes separately. 11,12) The DCGLs of several radionuclides, detected during the KRR decommissioning, are shown in Table 2. The final status surveys for the surface soils of the KRR site and the building structures were designed following the Multi Agency Radiation Site Survey and Investigation Manual (MARSSIM) and using a combination of fixed measurements and scanning surveys to evaluate survey units related within the applicable release criteria.…”

A decommissioning project for the Korean Research Reactors KRR-1 and KRR-2 was started in 1997 and had been carried out with the goal of completion by the end of 2008. All the facilities were dismantled and the building surfaces decontaminated. The radioactive waste was packed into 200 liter drums and 4 m 3 containers and temporarily stored on site until their final disposal at the national repository facility. Some of the releasable waste was freely released and utilized for non-nuclear industries. The assessment of the residual radioactivity was carried out according to the Multi Agency Radiation Site Survey and Investigation Manual (MARSSIM), and accordingly, the safety of the site release was verified. The site and buildings will be cleared for reuse for non-nuclear purposes after a review of the assessment. In this paper, the final status of the decommissioning of research reactors in Korea including dismantlement processes, waste management, and a final assessment for unrestricted use of the site and buildings as the final goal of the decommissioning project will be described.

“…Operational guidelines (Groups A-G), which correspond to specific PAGs, were derived for 11 potential RDD radionuclides: Am-241, (Yu et al 2001(Yu et al , 2003 were used to derive property release criteria. The concepts and overarching methodology used to derive operational guidelines for RDD-related radionuclides could also be generally applied, with modifications, to radionuclides associated with an IND.…”

“…The outdoor receptor is assumed to be at the center of the contaminated area. The RESRAD-BUILD computer code is used to calculate the external exposure pathway dose (Yu et al 2003). The external pathway dose is corrected for source configuration, receptor distance from the source, and shielding between the source and 1 Pathway numbers correspond to the list of potential exposure pathways given in Section 2.3.…”

“…The RESRAD-BUILD computer code is used to calculate the external dose (Yu et al 2003), which is corrected for source configuration, receptor distance from the source, and shielding between the source and receptor. In accordance with the specific scenarios developed for various groups, different dimensions are used for the commercial/residential buildings.…”

“…in the late response phase, the probabilistic RESRAD code (Yu et al 2000(Yu et al , 2001 was used for soil contamination, and the probabilistic RESRAD-BUILD code (Yu et al 2003) was used for building contamination. The conceptual model developed here is mainly applicable to situations after the direct plume (early) phase is over.…”
