  • 고리 1호기 및 2호기 원자로의 발전단가에 대한 해석을 시도했다. 해석의 편의상 발전단가를 우선 건설, 운전 및 관리, 운전자금 및 핵연로 등에 관련된 비용성분으로 나누고, 이 중 첫 세성분에 대한 cost는 POWERCO-50 계산코오드를, 그리고 핵연료 비는 MITCOST-II를 써서 계산했다. 중요한 계산결과로서는 다른 세가지 핵연료 주기에 대한 고리 2획의 핵연료 주기비, 고리 1호 및 2호기의 발전단가 및 발전단가계산에 사용된 코스트 자료의 변화에 따른 발전단가의 민감도 등이다. 제래식 화력발전단가와 비교함으로써 원자력발전이 보다 경제적으로 유리하다는 사실을 알아내었지만 고리 2 호기의 건설비가 다른 PWR 발전에 비해 다소 고가임을 지적했다. 때문에 원자력발전을 유리하게 하기 위해서는 장차 도입될 원자력발전로의 경우 고리 2호기와 같은 turnkey 계약이 지양되어야 함을 지적했다. 또한 발전단가가 발전소 가동율의 변화에 따라 민감하게 변동한다는 사실로부터 발전소를 최대한 가동시킬 수 있도록 노력이 경주되어야 한다고 결론을 내렸다.

  • Recently, the estimation of the social cost of energy sources has been emphasized as various novel energy options become feasible in addition to conventional ones. In particular, the social cost of introducing measures to protect power-distribution systems from power-source instability and the cost of accident-risk response for various power sources must be investigated. To account for these risk factors, an integrated societal risk assessment framework, based on power-uncertainty analysis and accident-consequence analysis, is proposed. In this study, we applied the proposed framework to nuclear power plants, solar photovoltaic systems, and wind-turbine generators. The required capacity of gas-turbine power plants to be used as backup power facilities to compensate for fluctuations in the power output from the main power source was estimated based on the performance indicators of each power source. The average individual health risk per terawatt-hours (TWh) of electricity produced by each power source was quantitatively estimated by assessing accident frequency and the consequences of specific accident scenarios based on the probabilistic risk assessment methodology. This study is expected to provide insight into integrated societal risk analysis, and can be used to estimate the social cost of various power sources.

  • This paper presents the quantitative analysis results of research on the burnup effect on the nuclear fuel cycle cost of BeO-$UO_2$ fuel. As a result of this analysis, if the burnup is 60 MWD/kg, which is the limit under South Korean regulations, the nuclear fuel cycle cost is 4.47 mills/kWh at 4.8wt% of Be content for the BeO-$UO_2$ fuel. It is, however, reduced to 3.70 mills/kWh at 5.4wt% of Be content if the burnup is 75MWD/kg. Therefore, it seems very advantageous, in terms of the economic aspect, to develop BeO-$UO_2$ fuel, which does not have any technical problem with its safety and is a high burnup & long life cycle nuclear fuel.

  • 본 연구는 우리나라 발전 부문의 원자력과 신재생에너지 발전의 온실가스 감축효과를 추정하고, 원자력 발전의 사고위험에 따른 외부비용을 포함한 발전 비용을 고려하여 두 발전원의 온실가스 감축비용의 효율성을 비교하였다. 모형의 추정결과, 원자력 및 신재생에너지 발전 1% 증가는 각각 0.744%와 0.127%의 CO2 배출량을 감축시키는 것으로 분석되었다. 이는 CO2 배출량을 1% 감축시키기 위해서는 원자력 발전은 1.344%, 신재생에너지 발전은 7.874% 증가시켜야 함을 의미한다. 추정된 계수와 원자력 발전의 외부비용 포함 발전비용을 사용하여 1%의 CO2 배출량 감축을 위한 총 비용을 도출한 결과, 전체 발전량이 1MWh로 가정할 때 CO2 배출량 1%를 감축시키기 위한 원자력 발전비용은 외부비용에 따라 0.72~1.49달러로 계산되었으며, 신재생에너지 발전비용은 6.49달러로 나타났다. 이를 2020년 우리나라 총 화석연료 발전량(352,706GWh)을 기준으로 계산할 경우, 원자력 발전은 2.54억~5.26억 달러, 신재생에너지 발전은 22.89억 달러로 신재생에너지 발전이 원자력 발전보다 4.35~9.01배의 비용이 더 소요되는 것으로 분석되었다. 따라서 발전 부문의 온실가스 감축을 위해서는 원자력 발전이 신재생에너지 발전에 비해 높은 비용 효율성을 가지는 것을 알 수 있었다.

  • 연구로 및 원자력 시설 해체작업 수행 시 고려해야 할 여러 가지 비용인자를 고찰하기 위하여 OECD 국가 및 원자력 선진국의 연구용 원자로 및 원자력 시설 해체비용에 대한 추정 결과의 영향 인자를 중심으로 분석하였다. 여러 가지 해체 비용을 유발하는 범주에서 원자력 시설 철거활동과 폐기물 처리 활동이 가장 많은 비용이 발생하는 것으로 예상되고 있고, 노동인력비용, 재료비 기타 비용 중에서 노동 인력 투입에 대한 비용이 가장 많이 차지한 것으로 나타났다. 해체비용에 영향을 미치는 주요 변수로는 Work difficulty, Regional labor cost 차이, Peripheral cost, Disposal/final burial costs으로 조사되었다.

  • 원자력연구시설에 대한 해체비용 산정은 해체계획 수립하는 데 중요한 작업이다. 해체비용 산정은 해체활동 단계와 해체 시설의 구설요소에 맞게 해체작업을 분류하여 계산을 해야 한다. 본 논문에서는 원자력연구시렁 해체비용 산정을 위하여 해체작업 활동을 분류하고 비용자료의 기준이 되는 비용항목을 계층적으로 세분화하여 구성하는 방법과 작업지연을 유발하는 비용영향 요인인 작업 난이도 인자에 대한 산출방법을 마련하였다. 이렇게 함으로써 해체활동 단계 및 작업에 대한 비용 항목별 분류 및 산정이 가능할 뿐만 아니라 원자력연구시설 해체비용 산정 방법론 및 프로그램을 개발하는데 활용할 예정이다.

  • It can be obtained from hydrocarbon and water, specially production of hydrogen from natural gas is most commercial and economical process among the hydrogen production methods, and has been used widely. However, conventional hydrogen production methods are dependent on fossil fuel such as natural gas and coal, and it may be faced with problems such as exhaustion of fossil fuels, production of greenhouse gas and increase of feedstock price. Thermochemical hydrogen production by nuclear energy has potential to efficiently produce large quantities of hydrogen without producing greenhouse gases. However, nuclear hydrogen must be economical comparing with conventional hydrogen production method. Therefore, hydrogen production cost was analyzed and estimated for nuclear hydrogen as well as conventional hydrogen production such as natural gas reforming and coal gasification in various range.

  • The specific purpose of this study is to develop the numerical guide for the cost-benefit analysis of ORE ($/person-Sv reduction) to meet the criterion of ALARA in the design stage of the KNGR. In deriving the guide, the risk factor which is defined by the risk to unit collective radiation exposure dose (deaths/person-Sv) and the monetary value of human life ($/death) are required. The risk factor has been estimated from various clinical data accumulated for a number of years and continuously modified. And the monetary value of human life is usually quantified using the human capital approach. In this study, the risk to radiation exposure perceived by a group of people is investigated through an extensive poll survey conducted among university students in order to modify the existing risk factor for radiation exposure. And in evaluating the monetary value of human life, the QOL factor is introduced in order to incorporate the degree of public welfare or quality of life. As a result of study, a value within the range of 151, 000~172, 000 dollars per person-Sv reduction is recommended as the appropriate interim numerical guide for cost-benefit analysis of ORE to meet the criterion of ALARA in the design stage of the KNGR. A poll survey was also conducted in order to see whether the public acceptance cost of nuclear power should be incorporated in developing the guide, and the result of study shooed that such a cost does not need to be considered.

  • As a preliminary study of cost estimates for nuclear hydrogen systems, the hydrogen production costs of the nuclear energy sources benchmarking GT-MHR are estimated in the necessary input data on a Korean specific basis. G4-ECONS developed by EMWG of GIF in 2008 was appropriately modified to calculate the cost for hydrogen production of SI process with VHTR as a thermal energy source rather than the LUEC. The estimated costs presented in this paper show that hydrogen production by the VHTR could be competitive with current techniques of hydrogen production from fossil fuels if $CO_2$ capture and sequestration is required. Nuclear production of hydrogen would allow large-scale production of hydrogen at economic prices while avoiding the release of $CO_2$. Nuclear production of hydrogen could thus become the enabling technology for the hydrogen economy. The major factors that would affect the cost of hydrogen were also discussed.

  • Most decision makers in the electricity industry plan their electric power expansion program by considering only a least cost operation, even when circumstances change with differing complexities. It is necessary, however, to analyze a long-term power expansion plan from various points of view, such as environmental friendliness, benefit of a carbon reduction, and system reliability, as well as least cost operation. The objective and approach of this study is to analyze the proper role of nuclear power in a long-term expansion plan by comparing different scenarios in terms of the system cost changes, $CO_2$ emission reduction, and system reliability in relation to the Business-As-Usual (BAU). The conclusion of this paper makes it clear that the Korean government cannot but expand the nationwide nuclear power program, because an increased energy demand is inevitable and other energy resources will not provide an adequate solution from an economic and sustainability point of view. The results of this analysis will help the Korean government in its long-term resource planning of what kinds of role each electric resource can play in terms of a triangular dilemma involving economics, environmental friendliness, and a stable supply of electricity.
