大学,医療,研究所等でのRIの利用や施設の解体からRI廃棄物が発生しているが、未だ最終的な埋設処分には至っていない。このため、原子力機構では、原子力機構をはじめとして、研究機関,大学,医療機関から発生するRI廃棄物も含めた低レベル放射性廃棄物(研究施設等廃棄物)の埋設事業の実施主体として活動を進めている。本報では、埋設事業の早期開始に向けて、廃棄物発生者の方々のご理解とご協力を頂くため、研究施設等廃棄物の現状及び埋設処分への取り組み状況について紹介する。

RI waste is generated from the use of RI in universities, medical care, and research institutes, and from the dismantling of facilities, but it has not yet been finally disposed of for burial. Therefore, JAEA has been acting as an implementing agency for the disposal project of low-level radioactive wastes (wastes from research facilities, etc.), including RI wastes generated from research institutes, universities, and medical institutions, including JAEA. In order to obtain the understanding and cooperation of waste generators toward the early commencement of the disposal project, this report introduces the current status of the disposal of RI waste and the efforts being made for its burial.
