Abstract

Recently, there have been grave concerns that the anticipated increase in the use of nuclear energy worldwide could result in dissemination of sensitive nuclear technologies. To meet the increase in nuclear energy demand and strengthen the non-proliferation regime simultaneously, the various proposals for 'multilateralization of nuclear fuel cycle' have been widely suggested. Those proposals are expected to have serious impacts on our country, if they has come true. In this paper, therefore, the 12 existing proposals were reviewed and assessed for their potential impacts on our country, in order to help prepare the appropriate measures responding to the international attempt of 'multilateralization of nuclear fuel cycle'.

최근 전 세계적인 원자력 수요 급증으로 민감 기술의 확산에 대한 우려가 커지고 있다. 원자력 수요 증가에 대처하면서 핵비확산체제를 강화하기 위해, 다수의 '핵연료주기 다자화' 방안이 제안되었다.' 핵연료주기 다자화' 방안이 실현될 경우, 우리나라에 영향을 미칠 것으로 예상된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는'핵연료주기 다자화' 움직임에 대해 우리나라의 적절한 대응책 마련에 도움을 주기 위해, 12가지 기존의 '핵연료주기 다자화 방안'을 검토하고, 우리나라에 미칠 잠재적 영향을 평가하였다.
