In order to make a contribution to the clearance level decision work of the research facility which handle radioisotope (RI), fuel and so on, the amount of waste from decommissioning the facility was investigated. The investigation were the estimation of the amount of decommissioning waste and the evaluation of the amount of clearance level waste for four facilities which are Fuel Monitorring Facility (FMF), Alpha-Gamma Facility (AGF), Materials Monitoring Facility (MMF), and Waste Dismantling Facility (WDF). The result of estimation and valuation are as follows. (1)The amount of the decommissioning waste for FMF is about 71500 tons. (Concrete is about 67500 tons, metal is about 3,600 tons, and others is about 300 tons.) (2)The amount of the decommissioning waste for AGF is about 14200 tons. (Concrete is about 13300 tons, metal is about 600 tons, and others is about 200 tons.) (3)The amount of the decommissioning waste for MMF is about 18000 tons. (Concrete is about 17100 tons, metal is about 700 tons, and others is about 100 tons.) (4)The amount of the decommissioning waste for WDF is about 28600 tons. (Concrete is about 27900 tons, metal is about 700 tons, and others is about 20 tons.) (5)All concrete waste and over 70% of metal waste is included the clearance level or non-radioactive waste. (6)By excluding a waste under the clearance level from a disassembly waste, the radioactive waste for the decommissioning the facility can be drastically reduced.
