放射性廃棄物工学Ｅ (Management of Spent Fuel and Radioactive Waste)

原子力の持続的な利用のためには，発生する多様な放射性廃棄物を処理・処分して行く必要がある．本講義では，放射性廃棄物の管理の基本的考え方から，その分類，保管，処理，処分方法を網羅的に教える．特に，使用済み燃料の再処理によって発生する高レベル放射性廃棄物については，ガラス固化や地層処分などの技術的側面に加えて，処分場の立地の社会的な受容性も説明する．また，原子力施設の廃止措置と廃棄物処分の関係や廃棄物のインベントリ評価に不可欠な核種分析についても講義を行う．

For sustainable use of nuclear power, it is mandatory to properly manage various radioacrtive wastes generated on it. In this lecture, students will systematically study foundations of radioactive waste management, including classification, storage, treatment and disposal of wastes. In particular, societal aspects of high-level radioactive wastes management will be focused in addition to its technological aspects such as vitrification and geological disposal. In addition, the close relationship between decommissioning and waste disposal as well as radionuclide analyses necessary for the evaluation of inventories of a given waste are also taught,
