본 연구는 한국의 외국인 근로자 정책 변화에 따라 형성·변화된 직업 목적 한국어 학습자군의 특성을 정책적 맥락 속에서 구조적으로 분석하 고, 그에 따라 한국어교육이 정책 내에서 어떠한 위상을 갖는지를 고찰 하는 데 목적이 있다. 최근 한국은 단기 비전문 인력 중심의 고용에서 숙련 인력의 장기 체류 및 정주를 유도하는 정책으로 전환하고 있으며, 고용허가제 개편, 숙련기능 점수제 확대, 지역특화형 비자 제도 도입 등 이 이러한 흐름을 보여준다. 이러한 정책 변화는 체류 자격, 산업군, 언 어 요구 수준 등에서 한국 내 한국어 학습자군의 구조를 변화시키며, 이 에 따라 한국어교육이 제도 안에서 갖는 의미와 기능도 변화하고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 외국인 근로자 정책 변화가 직업 목적 한국어 학습자의 구성에 어떠한 영향을 미쳐 왔는지를 고찰하고, 현 시점에서 한국어교육 이 한국 내 직업 목적 한국어 학습자를 정책과 연계하여 어떻게 정의하 고 대응할 것인지 각 시기의 정책을 한국어교육적 관점에서 살펴보고 분 석하였다. 이를 통해 직업 목적 한국어교육에 정책이 미치는 영향을 명 확히 하고, 정책과 연계하여 향후 교육적 실천이 나아가야 할 기반을 마 련하는 데 시사점을 제공하고자 하였다.

Wolsong Unit 1, a domestic heavy water reactor nuclear power plant, was permanently shut down in December 2019. Accordingly, Wolsong Unit 1 plans to prepare a Final Decommissioning Plan (FDP), submit it to the government by 2024, receive approval for decommissioning, and begin full-scale decommissioning. One of the important tasks in the decommissioning of Wolsong Unit 1 is to determine the decommissioning strategy. It is necessary to decide on a decommissioning strategy considering various factors and variables, secure the technical background, and justify it. The selection of a decommissioning strategy is best achieved through the use of formal decisionmaking assistance techniques, such as considerations related to influencing factors. It is very important to understand the basic decommissioning strategy alternatives and whether sufficient consideration has been given to situations where only a single unit is permanently shut down in a multi-unit site like Wolsong Unit 1, while the remaining units are in normal operation. As a process for selecting a decommissioning strategy, first, all considerations that could potentially affect decommissioning presented in the KINS Decommissioning Safety Review Guidelines were synthesized, influencing factors to be used in the decision-making process were determined, and the concept was defined. In order to select the most appropriate decommissioning strategy by considering various evaluation attributes of possible decommissioning alternatives (immediate dismantling and delayed dismantling), the Wolsong Unit 1 decommissioning strategy was evaluated by reflecting the AHP decision-making technique.

As an initial part of Kori-1 & Wolsung-1 Unit decommissioning planning, a characterization plan is developed to define the nature, extent and location of contaminants, determine sampling locations and protocols, determine quality assurance objectives for characterization, and define documentation requirements. The actual characterization of a facility is an iterative process that involves initial sampling according to the characterization plan, field management (such as labeling, packaging, storing, and transport) of the samples, laboratory analysis, conformance to the data quality objectives (DQOs), and then identifying any additional sampling required, refining the DQOs, and modifying the characterization plan accordingly. The final product of the facility characterization is a document that describes the type, amount, and location of contaminants that will require consideration and removal during the decommissioning operations sufficient to prepare a decommissioning plan. In this study, implementing a characterization plan, developed in accordance with this standard, will result in obtaining or deriving the above information.

Kori Nuclear Power Plant Unit 1, which began operating in 1978, is Korea’s oldest commercial nuclear reactor. The reactor was permanently shut down in June 2017, and now the decommissioning process has begun. The decommissioning process will generate a significant amount of waste that requires appropriate management to minimize the impact on the environment and human health. And the waste routing, i.e. the activities and logistics for managing the material generated, is a key point in a decommissioning project. It determines the routes from the material inventory to the envisaged material end states. In this study, we review on several factors for the selection of the waste routes in a decommissioning project. In terms of sustainability, the ‘waste hierarchy’ should be applied to routing materials from nuclear facilities. According to the waste hierarchy, the preferred end state is reuse or recycling of the waste as material or, more preferably, the avoidance of waste generation. In addition, treatments (such as decontamination and thermal treatment) that can reduce the volumes requiring disposal as radioactive waste should be considered. Another important parameter is the need to secure availability and capacity of waste routes. Short-term bottlenecks or any delay in the removal of the waste from the site often has an impact on other site activities. If possible, at least two alternative waste routes should be identified for the main categories of waste and kept available throughout the decommissioning project. All routes should be direct to the material end state if possible, but it is more important that waste is removed from the site so that other site operations are not impeded.
