  • This study presents the results of an economic analysis for a comparison of the single layer and double layer alternatives with respect to a HLW-repository. According to a cost analysis undertaken in the Korean case, the single layer option was the most economical alternative. The disposal unit cost was estimated to be 222 EUR/kgU. In order to estimate such a disposal cost, an estimation process was sought after the cost objects, cost drivers and economic indicators were taken into consideration. The disposal cost of spent fuel differs greatly from general product costs in the cost structure. Product costs consist of direct material costs and direct labor and manufacturing overhead costs, whereas the disposal cost is comprised of construction costs, operating costs and closure costs. In addition, the closure cost is required after a certain period of time elapses following the building of a repository.

  • 해체비용 산정은 원자력시설에 대한 해체 설계 및 계획 수립하는 데 중요한 기술이다. 해체비용 산정은 해체활동 단계와 해체시설의 구성요소에 맞게 해체작업을 분류하여 계산을 해야 한다. 본 논문에서는 원자력연구시설 해체비용 산정 기술로 이용하기 위하여 해체비용항목 및 그룹의 구성요소와 해체대상물에 대한 작업시간 계산의 기준이 되는 단위비용 인자 구성요소를 도출함으로써 해체비용 산정에 필요한 기본 구조를 완성하였다. 또한 주요 해체활동 및 작업에 대한 비용 산정 시 구성요소에 대한 고려사항을 살펴보았다. 향후, 이러한 기법을 이용하여 원자력연구시설에 대한 해체비용 산정 및 평가 방법론을 확립하는데 기본 기술로 활용할 예정이다.

  • 2011년 3월 발생한 일본의 후쿠시마 원전 사고는 원전의 안전성 문제를 넘어 경제성까지 논란을 불러일으키고 있으며, 이러한 문제는 원전 확대에 대한 비판적 시각을 전 세계적으로 확대시키고 있다. 따라서 원전이 안전성을 충분히 유지하면서도 타 전원에 비해 경제성이 있다는 것을 입증한다면 현재는 물론 지속가능한 전원으로서의 원전의 역할을 기대할 수 있을 것이다. 후쿠시마 원전사고 이후 국민들이 실제로 느끼는 '사회적 안전성' 정도를 알아보기 위해 안전성 대신 일반국민의 수용성을 지표로 삼아 안전에 대한 비용을 얼마나 지불할 수 있느냐를 알아보기 위해 비용편익분석의 하나인 조건부가치측정법(CVM: contingent valuation method)을 이용하였다. 경제성과 안전성의 trade-off값을 설문조사를 통해 알아본 결과 발전원가 4.75원/kWh 인상효과를 가져왔다. 이를 현재 원전발전단가 39.11 원/kWh에 반영하면 43.86 원/kWh으로 석탄화력 발전원가 67 원/kWh과 비교해 여전히 경쟁력이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 2013년 말 수립예정인 제2차 에너지기본계획[1] 등에 기초자료로 중요한 정책적 시사점을 가져다 줄 것이다.

  • This paper covers an estimation and analysis of generating cost of 350MWe nuclear power plant using a pressurized water reactor on the assumption that such a nuclear power plant would be constructed in Korea in or around 1970. For the evaluation of this generating cost, an extensive study has been conducted based on the current information on operating and costing parameters of light water reactors, particularly those of pressurized water reactors. Based on this study, a total generating cost of 7.29 Mills/Kwh was evaluated by operating the plant at 80% plant factor. For this calculation, a steady state method was introduced. It is considered, therefore, that a total generating cost in the beginning of plant operation would be a little higher than 7.29 Mills/Kwh, which has been calculated in the state of equilibrium.

  • It is the sensitivity and confidentiality of nuclear power plant decommissioning cost that prevent detailed cost information to be released to the public, which causes some limitation to analyze and reuse the costs. This limitation to access cost information means that the lessons learned from preceding cost estimating may not systematically feed back into following cost estimates. As an alternative, decommissioning cost estimation framework is indispensable to reflecting available experience and knowledge for decommission costs. This study provides the cost estimation framework including data flow and structuralization based on engineering and bottom up approach to enhance decommissioning cost estimation.

  • The Dual Unit Optimizer 2000 MWe (DUO2000) is put forward as a new design concept for large power nuclear plants to cope with economic and safety challenges facing the $21^{st}$ century green and sustainable energy industry. DUO2000 is home to two nuclear steam supply systems (NSSSs) of the Optimized Power Reactor 1000 MWe (OPR1000)-like pressurized water reactor (PWR) in single containment so as to double the capacity of the plant. The idea behind DUO may as well be extended to combining any number of NSSSs of PWRs or pressurized heavy water reactors (PHWRs), or even boiling water reactors (BWRs). Once proven in water reactors, the technology may even be expanded to gas cooled, liquid metal cooled, and molten salt cooled reactors. With its in-vessel retention external reactor vessel cooling (IVR-ERVC) as severe accident management strategy, DUO can not only put the single most querulous PWR safety issue to an end, but also pave the way to very promising large power capacity while dispensing with the huge redesigning cost for Generation III+ nuclear systems. Five prototypes are presented for the DUO2000, and their respective advantages and drawbacks are considered. The strengths include, but are not necessarily limited to, reducing the cost of construction by decreasing the number of containment buildings from two to one, minimizing the cost of NSSS and control systems by sharing between the dual units, and lessening the maintenance cost by uniting the NSSS, just to name the few. The latent threats are discussed as well.

  • 본 연구에서는 2030년까지의 전력수요, 전력생산중 원자력발전의 비중, 기존 원전표준화 계획, 국내제작 능력을 반영하여 개량형 경수로와 중수로 (CANDU)에 대한 참조 시나리오를 도출하고 각 참조 시나리오와 핵연료주기 전략별 핵연류주기 비용, 원자력 발전 단가, 우라늄 소요량, 인력 소요량을 계산하였다. 참조 시나리오들에 대한 분석을 한 결과 우라늄 자원활용, 원전안전성, 인력활용 측면이 노형 전략수립의 주요 인자로 작용하며 발전단가는 전략별로 큰 차이가 없는 것으로 나타났다.

  • 고리원자로의 핵연로비 추정을 위한 가격 모델을 수립하고 이를 기초로 MITCOST-II 전자계산 code를 써서 고리 발전소의 전수명에 걸친 핵연료주기비를 계산하였다. 사용후 연료를 재처리 하지 않는다는 간단한 핵주기를 가정하였는데 평균 단위 핵연료비는 7.332 mills/Kwhe으로 추정되었으며 이중 우라늄 원광비와 농축비가 85% 이상을 차지하고 있음을 알아내었다. 또한 원광가격과 농축가격의 변동 및 발전소 가동율의 변화에 따른 영향을 계산했으며 그 결과 핵연료비가 원광가격 변동에 매우 민감하게 변화한다는 사실도 알아내었다. 따라서 경제적으로 전력을 생산하기 위해서는 적기에 염가로 우라늄을 확보할 수 있도록 노력을 기울여 야 한다고 제안하였다.

  • After the Tohoku earthquake and tsunami (Japan, 2011), regulatory efforts to mitigate external hazards have increased both the safety requirements and the total capital cost of nuclear power plants (NPPs). In these circumstances, identifying not only disaster robustness but also cost-effective capacity setting of NPPs has become one of the most important tasks for the nuclear power industry. A few studies have been performed to relocate the seismic capacity of NPPs, yet the effects of multiple hazards have not been accounted for in NPP capacity optimization. The major challenges in extending this problem to the multihazard dimension are (1) the high computational costs for both multihazard risk quantification and system-level optimization and (2) the lack of capital cost databases of NPPs. To resolve these issues, this paper proposes an effective method that identifies the optimal multihazard capacity of NPPs using a multi-objective genetic algorithm and the two-stage direct quantification of fault trees using Monte Carlo simulation method, called the two-stage DQFM. Also, a capacity-based indirect capital cost measure is proposed. Such a proposed method enables NPP to achieve safety and cost-effectiveness against multi-hazard simultaneously within the computationally efficient platform. The proposed multihazard capacity optimization framework is demonstrated and tested with an earthquake-tsunami example.
