Fuel Cost Analysis of CANDU-PHWR Wolsung Nuclear Power Plant Unit 1

CANDU-PHWR형 원자로인 월성 1호기의 Zircaloy-4 피복 핵연료 설계치를 중심으로 Segel method에 의하며 FACOM 230 OS$_2$/VS 콤퓨터 시스템을 사용하여 핵연료비를 계산하였다. 아울러 핵연료 제조공장의 수덩, 가동을, 곧장시설 낑산규모 증대, 건설지 및 운전비기 변동, 이자율의 변화, 원광가격의 물가상승을, 기술개발인자 등이 핵연료비 계산에 미치는 효과에 패한 민감도를 분석하였다.

Being based on the Segal method, calculation was carried out for the natural uranium nuclear fuel cost with Zircaloy-4 cladding having design Parameters of Wolsung Nuclear Power Plant, CANDU-PHWR (Unit 1) , currently under construction in Korea aiming at its completion in 1982. An attempt was also made for tile sensitivity analysis of each fuel component; j. e., depreciation of fuel manufacturing plant caused by its life time, its load factor, production scale expansion of plant facilities, variations of construction and operating costs of fuel manufacturing plant, fluctuation of interest rates, extent of uranium ore price increases and effect of learning factor.
