초록

The conceptual design of the spent nuclear fuel (SNF) disposal system is significantin that it must maintain the safety for a very long period in consideration of geologicalcharacteristics. A buffer, one of the important components of the SNF disposal system, minimizesthe inflow of groundwater and relieves the shock caused by a mechanical factor. In order toconstruct an optimal disposal system, as decay heat of SNF causes temperature variation inthe buffer that affects the mechanical performance of the system, it is substantial to estimateaccurately the temperature variation. Therefore, in this study, the disposal environment requiredfor thermal evaluation of buffer was established by reflecting domestic conditions. Usingthis setting value, the thermal evaluation of buffer was performed according to the distancebetween disposal pits and the change of overpack material in the disposal cask. As a result of theevaluation, it was confirmed that most of the cases had satisfied the criteria of thermal safety, butsome of the cases had not.

Abstract

The conceptual design of the spent nuclear fuel (SNF) disposal system is significantin that it must maintain the safety for a very long period in consideration of geologicalcharacteristics. A buffer, one of the important components of the SNF disposal system, minimizesthe inflow of groundwater and relieves the shock caused by a mechanical factor. In order toconstruct an optimal disposal system, as decay heat of SNF causes temperature variation inthe buffer that affects the mechanical performance of the system, it is substantial to estimateaccurately the temperature variation. Therefore, in this study, the disposal environment requiredfor thermal evaluation of buffer was established by reflecting domestic conditions. Usingthis setting value, the thermal evaluation of buffer was performed according to the distancebetween disposal pits and the change of overpack material in the disposal cask. As a result of theevaluation, it was confirmed that most of the cases had satisfied the criteria of thermal safety, butsome of the cases had not.
