국문 초록

Deep geological disposal facilities require early regulatory involvement to ensure safety, transparency, and efficiency throughout their long development process. Leading countries, such as Finland, Sweden, France, and the UK, actively engage regulatory bodies from the early stages, following international guidelines set by the IAEA and OECD/NEA. However, in Korea, the current regulatory framework lacks a legal basis for pre-licensing reviews, highlighting the need for institutional reforms and clear agreements between regulators and operators. A phased regulatory approach which covers pre-site selection, site selection, and post-selection stages can enhance project stability and minimize risks. To successfully implement early regulatory involvement, Korea must revise its legal framework, develop strategic roadmaps, and foster transparent communication with stakeholders.
