Abstract
The role of nuclear power in future sustainable energy supply gets an increasing focus in several studies in the world. Various roadmap exercises have been undertaken to look essentially to the technical solutions for nuclear energy to fulfill such a role. This study describes the analysis of different nuclear power development scenarios, in terms of nuclear fuel cycle aspects such as natural uranium and enrichment requirements, spent fuel arising, etc.
Calculations are done using the Nuclear Fuel Cycle Simulation System that has been developed by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). Nuclear Fuel Cycle Simulation System is a scenario based computer model for the estimation of fuel cycle service requirements. The model uses simplified approaches to calculate the fuel cycle requirements. These simplified approaches make the code capable to estimate the long term fuel cycle service requirements for both open and closed cycle fuel cycle strategy. Nuclear Fuel Cycle Simulation System takes strategy parameters, fuel parameters, control parameters as input and gives main front- end and back-end fuel cycle service requirements and spent fuel and plutonium arisings. Results of the calculations for the different nuclear power development scenarios and conclusions regarding the impact of the different fuel cycle options are presented in this paper.
