일본의 원자력안전법제의 현황과 과제 = The Current Situation and Problems of Atomic Energy Safety Legislation in Japan

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Japanese government began to review basically the energy policy of the energy plan drawn up in 2010 after Fukushima nuclear accident the Fukushima nuclear disaster in March of 2011. Especially, Japan which had enjoyed a ‘Renaissance of nuclear power’ since its launch of the development of atomic power began to examine the legal reorganization related to the utilization and regulation of atomic power at the top of its agenda as well as the policy of nuclear power such as the development of a safer nuclear reactor and the securement of the safety technology of atomic power plant. The laws to secure the safety of atomic power in Japan include 「the Atomic Energy Act」with the position as the basic law in the legislation system related to atomic power, 「the Reactor Control Act」regulating the nuclear safety regulation professionally, 「Radioactivity Trouble Prevention Act」with the control regulation related to the handling of radioactivity substance, 「the Electric Operator Act」controling the reactor facility in the viewpoint of the electric structure, and 「the Special Measure Act on Nuclear Disaster Step」to provide for and cope with nuclear disaster. The Japanese government reinforced the nuclear regulation by modifying the regulations on the laws drastically after the Fukushima disaster. And after the Fukushima nuclear accident, Japan launched the renovation of the organization on the safety control of nuclear power after it judged that the safety control of atomic power under the previous organization system. The renovation content of the nuclear safety control agency after the Fukushima nuclear accident is largely divided into two parts. First, it is the promotion of the utilization of atomic energy and the separation of control function. For this purpose, the government abolished nuclear safety committee and nuclear safety guard established within the Ministry of Economic Industry, and established the atomic energy control committee and the nuclear regulation office and rendered it to take charge of the nuclear control operation. Second, it is the unification of a nuclear control agency. Japan had equipped itself with a double checking system where each administrative agency took charge of the safety control of atomic energy and the atomic power safety committee decided safety control after the final deliberation. However, the government unified the operation of the nuclear safety regulation distributed in each administrative agency tor the safety of nuclear reactor after the nuclear accident. It is thought that the change of such Japanese nuclear policy and the legislation of safety control will give a great suggestion to Korea. Especially, it is more persuasive as the overall weakness as to the whole atomic power plant becomes controversial recently. However, Considering that the ratio and power generaion cost which the atomic power plant accounts for in Korean power amount, it is our solemn reality that we cannot give up the atomic power generation blindly. Therefore, it is the calling of our generation that we should prepare advanced safety legislation of atomic power, develop the top safety technology, practice international norm strictly and supply atomic energy safely. Further, we shall have to reduce the electric demand by the improvement of energy thrift and energy efficiency, modify self-generation and a storage battery etc., build a new electric system, and study the plan to extend new renewable energy rapidly.
