自然起源の放射性核種であるウラン及びその子孫核種によって汚染されたもの、いわゆる「ウラン廃棄物」の取扱いについては、近年原子力規制委員会等において自然科学や安全工学等の知見に基づき集中的な審議が行われ、令和3(2021)年3月現在、一定の方針が示されている。一方、筆者らは、将来世代に相当の負担をもたらし得るウラン廃棄物の処分にあたっては、これまで行われてきたような理工学的視点の検討だけでなく、人文・社会科学的視点からの考察が必要であると考え、関連する分野の専門家を交えた議論を進めてきた。本報では、そうした考えをもたらした背景や今後予定している議論の方向性等について紹介する。

Regarding the handling of uranium bearing waste, which is contaminated with uranium, which is a naturally occurring radionuclide, and its descendant nuclides, in recent years, the Japan Nuclear Regulatory Commission, etc. have been carefully and actively deliberated based on the knowledge of natural science and safety engineering. It was carried out, and as of March 2021, a certain policy has been shown. On the other hand, when disposing of uranium waste, which may cause dose exposure to future generations, the authors consider not only the science and engineering perspectives that have been conducted so far, but also the humanities and social science perspectives. We have been discussing with experts in related fields, thinking that it is necessary. In this report, we will introduce the background that brought about such an idea and the direction of future discussions.
