A Note on the Design of Waste Management System Using QR Code for Radioactive Waste

Abstract

Due to the effective management of radioactive waste in the Republic of Korea (South Korea) and around the world as well as the introduction of radioactive waste certification programs, an integrated radioactive waste management system has been developed and applied. An integrated radioactive waste management system can improve waste management by providing an automatic identification and waste certification program (WCP) of radioactive waste. In this paper, we propose the development of a methodology that can manage radioactive waste from generation to treatment and a system for tracking radioactive waste using a QR code system with real-time management. A QR code is designed for mobile phones as an Android application and allows users to view, sort, and learn about radioactive waste in real time. This enables the smoother and more systematic management of radioactive waste.
