Consideration of spent fuel pool island as an interim management option of spent nuclear fuel for Kori unit 3 & 4 during decommissioning of Kori site

摘要

An effective decommissioning plan is a key to the safe management of spent nuclear fuel (SNF) and cost optimization during the decommissioning process. The multi-reactor Kori site in the Republic of Korea currently has 5 operating reactors and the oldest of these reactors, Kori 1, has been shut down and is scheduled to be de-commissioned in the near future. This paper evaluates the feasibility of a spent fuel pool island (SFPI) for the Kori site as a part of spent fuel management strategy for decommissioning. The current decommissioning strategy for Kori 1 was reviewed and an overall decommissioning plan for Kori site was developed as a basis for this analysis.
