Technologies for eco-friendly nuclear reactors and nuclear fuel recycling systems

Technologies for eco-friendly nuclear reactors and nuclear fuel recycling systems

Definition

• Technologies for reusable nuclear recycling system
• Consisting of dry type processing technology using reused fuel and (sodium cooling) supercritical 4th generation technology

Strategy & Goal

• Undertaking market entry strategies in stages
• Promoting fast breeder test reactor after examining business conditions
  • Seeking appropriate approaches through international cooperation
• Promoting revision of related international agreements
  • Recycled fuel should be reused in Korea
  • Demonstrating test sodium cooling supercritical reactor of 4th generation type
    • Establishing general demonstration for system equipment (2016)
    • Acquiring SDA (2020)
    • Constructing sodium cooling supercritical reactor (2028)
  • Commercializing dry type processing technology for recycled fuel
    • Complete simulation facility (10 tons U/year)
    • Complete demonstration test facility of engineering scale (10 tons HM/year)(2016)
    • Constructing and operating the facilities(2025)
