Economic Analysis of Spent Fuel Dry and Aqueous Reprocessing Facilities
Nuclear fuel cycle is an important factor affecting the economic evaluation of nuclear power and a key issue to promote the development of nuclear energy.As an important part of the trailing portion of nuclear fuel cycle,the economic cost of spent fuel reprocessing will affect the overall nuclear fuel cycle cost.In order to provide a more accurate reference for the analysis of nuclear fuel cycle cost,especially the trailing portion of it,in this paper,the economic data of foreign dry and aqueous reprocessing facilities were investigated.Combined with the economic research of fast reactor spent fuel reprocessing facilities,the dry and aqueous reprocessing costs of thermal reactor and fast reactor spent fuel were analyzed,and the reprocessing cost data of facilities were given.
