Abstract
The decommissioning of nuclear facilities produces various types of radiologically contaminated waste. In addition, dismantlement activities, including cutting, packing, and clean-up at the facility site, result in secondary radioactive waste such as filters, resin, plastic, and clothing. Determining of the radionuclide content of this waste is an important step for the determination of a suitable management strategy including classification and disposal. In this work, we radiochemically characterized the radionuclide activities of filters used during the decommissioning of Korea Research Reactors (KRRs) 1 and 2. The results indicate that the filter samples contained mainly 3 H (500–3,600 Bq·g −1 ), 14 C (7.5–29 Bq·g −1 ), 55 Fe (1.1– 7.1 Bq·g −1 ), 59 Ni (0.60–1.0 Bq·g −1 ), 60 Co (0.74–70 Bq·g −1 ), 63 Ni (0.60–94 Bq·g −1 ), 90 Sr (0.25–5.0 Bq·g −1 ), 137 Cs (0.64–8.7 Bq·g −1 ), and 152 Eu (0.19–2.9
