Nuclear power is responsible for a large portion of electricity generation worldwide, and various studies are underway, including the design of permanent deep geological disposal facilities to safely isolate spent nuclear fuel generated as a result. However, through the gradual development of drilling technology, various disposal option concepts are being studied in addition to deep geological disposal, which is considered the safest in the world. So other efforts are also being made to reduce the disposal area and achieve economic feasibility, which requires procedures to appropriately match the waste forms generated from separation process of spent nuclear fuel with disposal option systems according to their characteristics. And safety issue of individual disposal options is performed through comparison of nuclide transport. This study briefly introduces the pre-disposal nuclide management process and waste forms, and also introduces the characteristics of potential disposal options other than deep geological disposal. And environmental conditions and possible pathways for nuclide migration are reviewed to establish transport scenarios for each disposal option. As such, under this comprehensive understanding, this study finally seeks to explore various management methods for high-level radioactive waste to reduce the environmental burden.
