Evaluation of Radioactive Source Terms in the System-Integrated Modular Advanced Reactor

  • Published : 1999.02.01

Abstract

A 330 MWt-sized multi-purpose integral-type reactor, SMART is under development in Korea for the use of nuclear energy other than electricity generation. In this study, various radioactive source terms are estimated for SMART. SMART is different from conventional reactor concepts in operation and design. Therefore Specific Calculation method namely recurrence model is used. This model is based on the change rate in the RC radioactivity materials and operational characteristics of SMART Calculation results show tremendously increase of the levels of RC activity because no cleanup of RC and long term operation.
