National Technical Reports Library

The National Technical Information Service acquires, indexes, abstracts, and archives the largest collection of U.S. government-sponsored technical reports in existence. The NTRL offers online, free and open access to these authenticated government technical reports. Technical reports and documents in its repository may be available online for free either from the issuing federal agency, the U.S. Government Publishing Office’s Federal Digital System website, or through search engines.

DUPIC facility engineering -A study on the direct use of spent PWR fuel in CANDU reactors-.

DE95612927

Publication Date	1993
Personal Author	Park, H. S.; Lee, J. S.; Kim, H. D.; Song, K. C.; Choi, J. W.
Page Count	276
Abstract	The applicability of KAERI facilities (PIEF for disassembly) cutting of spent PWR fuel and post irradiation examination of DUPIC fuel, IMEF for DUPIC fuel fabrication, KMRR for irradiation of DUPIC fuel and RWTF for radwaste treatment and storage, which would be usable for performing the Phase II of DUPIC 'Experimental Verification' was reviewed from the standpoint of system engineering. The engineering parameters for refurbishments of IMEF M6 cell to be applied for DUPIC fuel fabrication are also reviewed and some transportation casks to move samples and specimens between the facilities were reviewed. The reference fuel was established from the characteristics of spent PWR fuel out of nuclear power plant. Based on the balance of fuel, the balance of fuel material was evaluated qualitatively between DUPIC and once-through cycle, and the preliminary economic analysis between two cycles was performed. The spent fuel arising and the environmental safety were also evaluated. Cooperative actions for the Phase II of DUPIC being implemented on a tripartite frame between Korea-Canada-U.S.A and a brief survey on the prospectives of applying the DUPIC fuel cycle concept on global level were touched upon.
