Category Technical Advisory
Client KEPCO E & C
Contractor Saman
Period November 07, 2007 ~ December 31, 2009
Project Information
    • Location
      Bonggil-ri, Yangbuk-myeon, Gyeongju-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do, Korea (nearby Wolsong Nuclear Power Plant)   

      

    • Description
      First applied silo type for a rock cavern for radioactive waste disposal in Asia     

      

        • Technical Issues
          • Selection of feasible designs and construction methods for the silo type cavern (dome shaped) in predicted worst ground conditions considering excavation sequences and reinforcement methods
          • Preliminary design with the worst scenario, i.e. a feasibility study to check whether construction is possible (to help the decision-making)
