DEVELOPMENT OF A COMPUTER PROGRAM FOR AN ANALYSIS OF THE LOGISTICS AND TRANSPORTATION COSTS OF THE PWR SPENT FUELS IN KOREA

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

It is expected that a substantial amount of spent fuels will be transported from the four nuclear power plant (NPP) sites in

Korea to a hypothetical centralized interim storage facility or a final repository in the near future. The cost for the

transportation is proportional to the amount of spent fuels. In this paper, a cost estimation program is developed based on

the conceptual design of a transportation system and a logistics analysis. Using the developed computer program, named

as CASK, the minimum capacity of a centralized interim storage facility (CISF) and the transportation cost for PWR spent

fuels are calculated. The PWR spent fuels are transported from 4 NPP sites to a final repository (FR) via the CISF. Since

NPP sites and the CISF are located along the coast, a sea-transportation is considered and a road-transportation is considered

between the CISF and the FR. The result shows that the minimum capacity of the interim storage facility is 15,000 MTU.
