Starting with the permanent shutdown of Kori Unit 1, the first waste treatment facility in Korea will be built on the Kori site. In this facility, major process such as decontamination, cutting, radiation measurement and volume reduction of decommissioning waste are performed, and radioactive liquid waste is generated by the waste treatment process and personnel decontamination. The generated liquid waste is finally discharged to the sea through radioactive monitoring system after sufficient treatment to meet the standard radiological effluent control. Whereas the treated liquid waste is additionally diluted through the circulation water discharge conduit and discharged to the sea in the operating nuclear power plants, there is no circulation water in the waste treatment facility. Therefore, a new discharging method for dilution after treatment should be considered. In this paper, the treatment concept and discharge method of radioactive liquid waste system in waste treatment facility are reviewed.
