Abstract

This technical report suggested parameters of wide range geological investigation and procedure to select the site of HLW underground disposal system. By concerning about the national geology and social environment, the report proposed stages to investigate candidate site of deep underground disposal site. Based on concept of geological investigation, the report suggested geological investigation stages and parameters of each investigation stage. The report separated detail geological aspects from proposed investigation stages and investigation items of each aspect were drawn. Finally, each geological parameter of items was suggested. According to this process, the process and the geological parameters, which were necessary to investigate candidate site of HLW system, were readjusted and investigation methods were listed to secure the data of each parameter. The proposed geological survey items and parameters are considered to be different from those of other countries by concerning the geological characteristics of our country.
