In order to start decommissioning domestic nuclear facilities, the Final Decommissioning Plan (FDP) must be prepared and approved by the regulatory agency. The contents of domestic FDP consist of 12 chapters, and there is the decommissioning feasibility design that should be described in Chapter 5 as contents to be considered from the construction stage of nuclear facilities. The design of decommissioning feasibility for nuclear facilities seems to be largely divided into three items. In summary, there ae minimization of contaminations to facilities and the environment, easy of dismantling, and minimization of the radioactive waste generation. In addition, the design characteristics to which the ALARA principle is applied in terms of optimizing the exposure dose of workers and residents may also correspond to the decommissioning feasibility design. The design characteristics for decommissioning feasibility during the period leading up to the design, operation, and decommissioning of nuclear facilities can be listed as the main points as follows. Minimization of facility contamination will include contents related to the leakage of systems and components, minimization of effluents to the environment will involve gaseous and liquid effluents from systems and components to the environment, easy of dismantling will involves history and inspection records during operation, and minimization of radioactive waste generation can be the contents related to the radioactive waste management plans. The design characteristics of facilities and equipment to meet the ALARA principles can be listed as follows. It means taking into account the benefits and costs of the design improvement plan, and the elimination of unnecessary radiation exposure can be maintained at the exposure dose ALARA, which is in line with the decommissioning feasibility design. Among the requirements of licensing documents for decommissioning domestic nuclear facilities is the decommissioning feasibility design. This item relates to the design characteristics for decommissioning considered in the construction stage of the facility and should present the effectiveness of measures for them until operation and decommissioning. In this study, the regulatory requirements presented in the construction and operation stage and the contents presented in the U.S. case were reviewed, and it is hoped that it will be used as reference for the preparation of FDP.

This study aimed to empirically investigate the applicability of ecosystem-based TAC (Total Allowable Catch) fisheries management targeting the large purse seine fishery where multi-species are regulated by TAC. Using a linear programming, the optimal fishing effort and the catch amount by species which maximize fishing profits were analyzed under the constraint condition of catch limits by species. Analytical results showed that an application of TAC on only chub mackerel would have negative impacts on fish stocks such as hairtail and jack mackerel by increasing the level of fishing effort to achieve its allocated catch limit. However, under the constraint condition of catch limits of all species, it was shown that optimal catches of all species were achieved within their catch limits. It implies the importance of ecosystem-based management considering biological and technical interactions of species those were excluded in the traditional single species fisheries management.
