Abstract

원자력 발전은 상대적으로 저렴한 발전비용으로 우리나라 경제성장의 밑거름이 되었던 에너지원으 로 알려져 있으나 방사성 폐기물 처리에 대해서는 논란이 지속적으로 발생하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 프랑스의 고준위 방폐장인 Cigéo의 설치에 대한 정책 수립과정과 공론화 과정을 살펴보고, 시맨틱네트워크 분석(Semantic Network Analysis)을 통해 프랑스의 고준위 방폐장 건설과정에서 제시되었던 여러 가지 핵심적인 의제들을 파악하였다. 분석결과 연결중심성이 높은 상위 10위의 주제어는 토론사업, 폐기물, 저장, 공공의, 질문, 위험, 시민, 참여, 부지 등이다. 프랑스의 사례를 볼 때 우리나라의 고준위 방폐장 설치단계에서 다양한 정책행위자들의 참여와 토론을 유도하고, 현세대와 미래세대간의 형평성을 고려해야 하는 한편, 사전적으로 관련 법제도를 정비해야 한다는 정책적 시사점을 제시할 수 있다.Nuclear power generation has been the cornerstone of economic growth due to low generation costs in Korea, but the disposal of radioactive waste continues to be controversial. Looking back on the controversy at the time of the establishment of low-level radioactive waste disposal facilities, it is expected that the establishment of high-level radioactive waste disposal facilities will lead to enormous social conflicts, urgently seeking social consensus. In this study, we examined the process of establishing the policy and public debate on the installation of Cigeo, a high-level radioactive waste disposal facility in France. In addition, through SNA (semantic network analysis), we identified several key agenda items which had been presented during the installation process, including debate, business, waste, storage, public, question, danger, citizen, participation, and site. Based on the case of Cigeo, we suggested several policy implications that it is necessary to promote participation and discussion of various policy actors and to consider intergenerational equity as well as preemptive legal action.
