The sensitivity analysis of doses in terms of the environmental conditions was performed by statistical method in order to make the technical basis for the siting criteria of near surface disposal facility for low level radioactive waste generated from research, industrial and medical facilities. Doses calculated at all assumed pathways in more than 97.5% of calculation cases were able to be reduced below the target dose after control period (0.01 mSv/y) by means of equipping the disposal facility with additional engineered barriers. As a result, we concluded it was possible to safely and rationally design disposal facilities in most of the environmental parameters related to safety assessment. Another sensitivity analysis was done in order to discuss the area of disposal site. Dose at the site boundary were able to be reduce below the target dose during operation (0.05 mSv/y) whenever the distances from these facilities to the site boundary were more than 120 m, respectively.

JAEA will settle on near surface disposal facilities with and without engineered barriers for radioactive wastes. Both of them are so called concrete pit type and trench type, respectively. Technical standards of constructing a disposal facility based on Law for the Regulations of Nuclear Source Material, Nuclear Fuel Material and Reactors have been regulated partly by referring to that of Waste Management and Public Cleansing Law. This means that the concrete pit type and the trench type facility resemble an isolated type and a non leachate controlled type final disposal site, respectively. On the other, we plan to design a disposal facility with a liner system corresponding to a leachate controlled type final disposal site. By current nuclear related regulations, There are no technical standards of constructing the disposal facility with the liner system. So we investigate the function of the liner system in order to design a proper liner system for the trench type disposal facility.
