Abstract

There are two methods to be applied in the management of spent fuels of nuclear power plants. Spent fuel can be reprocessed or disposed of in geological formations. However, since the geological disposal has not been realized yet, spent fuels are stored for a long time. In this study, a storage facility model has been developed for spent fuels of a nuclear power plant containing four VVER-1200 units and life cycle cost analysis of the facility has been performed for two storage scenarios. In the first part of the study, the amount of spent fuel to be discharged from the plant during its operational life is determined. Then, a storage facility model is developed for the storage of estimated spent fuel inventory and basic characteristics of the facility such as storage cask type, material, storage area is determined. Finally, life cycle cost analysis of the facility is performed for two storage scenarios by using “net present value” and “levelised unit cost” methods.

Özet

Nükleer güç santrallerinin kullanılmış yakıtlarının yönetiminde izlenebilecek iki yöntem mevcuttur. Kullanılmış yakıt yeniden işlenebilir veya jeolojik yapılarda bertaraf edilebilir. Ancak, günümüzde jeolojik bertaraf henüz gerçekleştirilemediği için kullanılmış yakıtlar uzun süreli depolanmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, dört adet VVER-1200 tipi reaktör ünitesi içeren bir nükleer güç santralinin işletilmesi sırasında oluşacak kullanılmış yakıtlar için depolama tesisi modeli geliştirilmiş ve iki farklı depolama senaryosunun uygulanması durumunda tesisin yaşam döngüsü maliyeti analiz edilmiştir. Çalışmanın ilk bölümünde, işletme ömrü boyunca santralden çıkarılacak kullanılmış yakıt miktarı belirlenmiştir. Daha sonra, hesaplanan kullanılmış yakıt envanterinin depolanması için bir depolama tesisi modeli geliştirilmiş ve depolama varilinin tipi, malzemesi, depolama alanı büyüklüğü gibi tesisin temel özellikleri belirlenmiştir. Son olarak, iki farklı depolama senaryosunun uygulanması durumunda “net şimdiki değer” ve “seviyelendirilmiş birim maliyet” yöntemleri kullanılarak tesis için yaşam döngüsü maliyet analizi yapılmıştır.
