As a result of evaluating the level of tritium emitted from the nuclear power plant in the environment and the human body, it was confirmed that tritium was detected in the environmental media and human urine samples to be investigated. It was found that the tritium was clearly detected. After the operation of the Tritium Removal Facility (TRF), which was operated for the purpose of removing tritium from the Wolsong nuclear power plant, the tritium emission showed a decreasing trend, and the tritium level in the environmental media also showed a tendency to decrease accordingly. However, for precise evaluation, it was necessary to select and investigate points by distance, season, and wind direction from the nuclear power plant, but it also showed characteristics that did not reflect this. As the cycle, etc., implemented the previous environmental monitoring program as it is, there was also a limitations in not being able to reflect the changing environment. Therefore, it is necessary to review and supplement the environmental monitoring investigation plan and results so far, and by applying the supplemented investigation plan to secure valid and reliable investigation results, it is judged that it will be an appropriate measure for environmental conservation and human protection in the vicinity of the nuclear power plant.
