Abstract

This study implemented a packaging and drum generation process for radioactive waste using Matlab/Simulink. The simulation was based on the regulations of field work, and aimed to derive the optimal repackaging method by adjusting the constraints. We analyzed the radioactive waste nuclide concentration, weight, and small package amount as constraints and also analyzed the number of drums for each radioactive level generated according to the scenarios. The radioactive waste repackaging process simulation was designed to analyze cases according to the confidence interval, and the optimization algorithm to reduce the number of radioactive waste drums was analyzed while checking the change in the number of drums according to the repackaging scenario. Simulation analysis can be used for radioactive waste management and analysis, decision-making, and generation prediction, and through systematic management, the safety and economic efficiency of radioactive waste management can be expected.
