7 IAEA Nuclear Energy Series: NW-T-1.18 Contents of IAEA document of SF Method 1. Scaling factor basis Basic philosophy (Empirical method based on similarity production & behavior) Basis of evaluation (Log-normal distribution & Correlation) 2. Scaling factor method application Application principle (steps of basic application manner) Summary of application practices in selected member states 3.

8 ISO 21238: 2007 Chapter 5. Methodology Calculating Method Calculating method of Scaling factor Actual distribution (Ni-63/Co-60) There are two recommended manners for calculating Scaling factor. A. Geometrical mean - Based on linear relationship of DTM nuclide and key nuclide - Based on the log normal distribution B. Linear regression of logarithm Actual scatter diagram (Ni-63/Co-60) - Based on non-linear relationship of DTM nuclide and key nuclide - Based on log normal regression.
9 IAEA Document: NW-T-1.18 Actual Practices of Selection of Calculation Method of SF Scaling factor calculation method for determining the radioactive concentrations of DTM nuclides in waste packages, most countries, as shown in following Table, are determining or planning to apply the Geometrical mean or Logarithmic regression. Calculation Method Share of application Geometrical mean (log mean) Around 50 % Linear regression of logarithms Around 40 % Arithmetical mean Around 10 %
10 ISO 21238: 2007 Chapter 5. Methodology Classification methodology Classification of wastes Setting appropriate SF required consideration of classification based on following conditions. - Reactor component materials (--> CP nuclides) - Fuel stability (--> FP nuclides and α emitters) - Volatile property (--> C-14) etc. Integration of wastes It is possible to integrate to many country s data under consideration of above classification.
11 IAEA Document: NW-T-1.18 Classification methodology by influence factor CP Nuclide (Ni-63/Co-60) (Component Material) FP Nuclide(Alpha/Cs-137) (Fuel stability) C-14 in BWR (C-14/Co-60) (Volatile property) Sampling should be carried out in consideration of following factors: - Plant type (BWR and PWR, difference in reactor component material ) - Fuel stability group (Fuel is stable, Slight fuel failure, Large fuel failure ) - Waste stream (Example: The case of C-14 in BWR )
12 ISO 21238: 2007 Integration and Classification by the Type of Waste for CP Nuclide Similarity in the CP Nuclides There is no appreciable difference - in the ratio of DMT nuclides and Key nuclide between type of waste in the same type of plants. - between the physicochemical behavior in each CP Nuclide. Key Nuclide Appropriate waste classification for SF evaluation Co Unified SFs can be established irrespective of the type of waste. 2. However, if classification is needed for the purpose of more detail estimation, classifying is not restricted.

20 ISO DIS16966: Outline of Range Estimation Methods Image of Evaluation Conversion Coefficient method Concentration of Evaluated nuclide(bq/t) Correlation method DTM nuclide(bq/t) Averaging Method Calculation value Represented Value Represented Value Outline of Evaluation method Target waste There is close relation between Key index, such as burnup (normally fuel is controlled by burnup) and the concentration of DTM nuclide in activated component. The concentration of DTM nuclide is able to evaluate as conversion coefficient by activation calculations considered the range of actual reactor condition (e.g. element, neutron, irradiation condition). Channel box, Control rod, Burnable poison, etc. There are specific relations among simultaneously generated nuclides in the same part (that is, neutron, elemental composition, irradiation time are same) of activated component. The ratio of DTM nuclide and Key nuclide are able to calculate by activation calculations considered the range of actual reactor irradiation condition. Waste Type A Elemental composition and irradiation condition are almost same in fixed equipment. The difference of nuclide's concentrations is generated by the difference of neutron condition. The concentrations in the reactor component or parts of reactor are calculated by activation calculations considered the range of actual reactor condition and position of equipments. Graphite block, Core shroud, Pressure vessel, etc. Waste Type B 19
