A Conceptual Design Study for a Spent Fuel Pyroprocessing Facility of a Demonstration Scale

유재형, 홍권표, 이한수

Abstract

A conceptual design study for a pyroprocesing facility, has been carried out in this study, whichis available for the recovery of uranium and transuranic elemental group(TRU), that is, reusable asa nuclear fuel especially in a next generation-type reactor. The scale of this facility has been chosenas 20 kg HM/batch, comparatively small engineering size in order to collect scale-up data for thedesign of a commercial facility as well as to get operational experience. The spent fuel to behandled in this process is as follows : 3.5 % enriched uranium fuel, 35,000MWd/tU and 5-yearcooled. The major items considered in the conceptual study are a building lay-out including varioushot cells, safety management of the process operation in conjunction with material balance control,radiation safety, inert atmosphere control in shielded hot cells, and criticality control of uraniumand TRU products.
