Podojil, Adam ; Jelínek, Emil (advisor) ; Kozlovcev, Petr (referee)
The thesis describes the different types of radioactive wastes (RAW), it present classification used in Czech Republic (classification of RAW isn't unified but vary according to the needs of the region for which is created. Trend of recent years in RAW disposal aimed at building a deep repositories in suitable geological formations. So it is in Czech Republic where it is planned to build repository in granitic rocks similar to the Swedish model KBS-3V/KBS-3H. This model is based on multi-barrier system which serves to maintain radionuclides outside the environment for at least 100,000 years. The system consist of engineered barriers (waste form, storage overpack, bentonite and cement) and natural barriers (rock environment in the vicinity of deep depository (near field, far field)). Study of interactions of various barriers is an important factor in the development of appropriate forms of final storage. The interactions at interface bentonite-corrosion products of container and cement- bentonite are important in terms of functionality barriers over time. In the long run, there are many changes in the properties of the individual interacting barriers. At the interface bentonite-steel shell of the container when progressing corrosion occurs to the formation of secondary minerals (magnetite, siderite,...

Population's Awareness in Issues Associated with Nuclear Waste Repository
HÁKOVÁ, Veronika
The diploma thesis was elaborated on the topic of public awareness on issues related to the nuclear waste repository. The issue of nuclear waste management is currently being updated and increasingly discussed. Especially in connection with the search for a new site for the construction of a deep repository of nuclear waste and spent nuclear fuel. The aim of the thesis was to determine the level of knowledge of the population in the field of nuclear waste, its management, knowledge of the current nuclear waste repositories and the intended deep repository of nuclear waste and spent nuclear fuel and, last but not least, of ionizing radiation. The other task was to compare the level of knowledge of the inhabitants living in one of the sites of the intended underground repository (the Čihadlo site) and the inhabitants living outside this site. The following hypotheses have been established: "The level of knowledge on issues related to the repository for nuclear waste and spent nuclear fuel will be statistically significantly higher for residents living in the Čihadlo site than for those living outside that site" and "Knowledge on issues related to the nuclear waste repository and of spent nuclear fuel will reach at least 70% in both groups." A questionnaire survey was conducted to achieve the objectives set and verify the hypotheses. The results were evaluated using descriptive and mathematical statistics. The questionnaire consisted of 20 questions and 100 respondents from each site. The hypothesis has been confirmed that the level of knowledge of the inhabitants living in the Čihadlo site is statistically significantly higher. Knowledge on issues related to the repository for nuclear waste and spent nuclear fuel reached at least 70% for all respondents only on some issues. In the diploma thesis, there was a picture of the level of knowledge of the inhabitants about nuclear waste, its handling and storage of nuclear waste. The results obtained could be used as one of the bases in the site selection process for building a deep repository.

Hazards at Work in Temelín NPP Radiation Controlled Area.
KRČMÁŘ, Martin
During activities in controlled area of Nuclear Power Plant Temelín it is necessary to take certain measures with regard to the risks associated with ionizing radiation. These are primarily the requirements for protective equipment for individuals or workgroups. Principles and methods of storage material and technology, both at the workplace and outside. Necessary unavoidable introduction and salvaging objects across the boundary of the controlled area, whether it is tools or parts of the technology to be repaired or revised. At the workplace, there is a diverse waste that needs to be temporarily stored, sorted, and then passed to the workers involved in the disposal of this waste. The aim of this bachelor theses was to analyse existing methods and techniques used in operations in controlled areas, to check the reliability and adequacy of existing measures and procedures. Based on the performed analysis to propose measures to improve conditions for work in controlled area. Based on the study of expert resources and relevant legislation the theoretical part was developed. In the practical part, an analysis of several model activities that come into consideration in the controlled area of the Nuclear Power Plant Temelín was performed. Various changes were combined at the model activities with respect to both the workplace environment (source of ionizing radiation, surface contamination etc.) and various types of work (grinding, cutting, welding etc.). Also, methods of waste management, transports of technology or tools across the boundary of the controlled area were not omitted. Based on the analysis, it is possible to state that there were no serious deficiencies or reserves found in the measures used to prevent the risks related to the activities in the controlled area. The measures are not only fully functional, but the quality is at a high level. Also, we can not miss continuous effort of radiation control personnel to search for reserves and improvement, mainly due to acquired knowledge and experience in operation of the nuclear energetic device.

Ušáková, Diana ; Matějíček, Luboš (advisor) ; Přibil, Rudolf (referee)
The impacts of nuclear power are now very important component of the impact assessment of the energy industry on the environment. The first nuclear power plant, which was built in the former Czechoslovakia is nuclear power plant called Jaslovské Bohunice, which is located in the western part of the Slovak Republic. Environmental load, but compared with thermal power plants is much lower, since the nuclear power plant produces smaller amounts of emissions and greenhouse gases such as thermal power plant. The concentration of radioactive substances in the ambient atmosphere and hydrosphere is much lower than permissible limits. Dispersion of harmful radioactive substances, however, implemented a broad area. Bohunice nuclear power plant is equipped with a special system for processing radioactive waste and the management of it, which is a major advantage in the use of these technologies. The survey population around Jaslovské Bohunice concerned people of various ages who were mostly university education. The public, which the operation of a nuclear power plant directly relates to the earlier welcomed the development of nuclear energy in Slovak as the forced outage. The questionnaire revealed that much of the population does not have the necessary data regarding the management of radioactive waste. The...
