Nuclear spent fuel and waste management activities are called the back end of the nuclear fuel cycle. To reduce or eliminate the toxicity of spent nuclear fuel and to dispose the left-over of nuclear fuel are the most important problems in the back end of the nuclear fuel cycle. It is hard to manage used spent nuclear fuel because of a lot of heat and radioactivity. Here some more research is needed about this. Intermediate storage is better than the landfill just in case. Fortunately, Korea secured disposing area in Kyongju. However, this is only for the importing of low and middle-level spent nuclear fuel. Therefore, to secure of disposing area of the high-level spent nuclear fuel is the important homework of Korea. Even we take what kind of method among landfill and intermediate storage, it is most important to secure the grounds. The main nuclear managing countries except Sweden and Finland are hard to obtain the consent of the local population about disposing area of the high-level spent nuclear fuel. In order to get the disposing area of the high-level spent nuclear fuel, we have to do complex scientific research and take proceedings to secure the concent of the people and residents. We should start from the root to the purpose. In this respect, France legislation have a massive implication for us. The Bataille Act(1971) has set the destination for the study of nuclear science, The Management Programming Act(2006) proceeds this at the country level and The Public Transparency Act (TSN) enhanced the disclosure of information via the marshal agency(HCTISN) and regional information committee(CLI). Considering these France legislation, we should more systematically deal with issues of the late nuclear fuel cycle.
