III. Recent issues in the ROK spent fuel
management (cont)
  • The National Energy Committee (NEC), chaired by
    the ROK president, established in November 2006,
    will examine plans for the spent fuel management.
    The Radwaste Management Division of MOCIE will
    support the NEC for the work of the spent fuel
    management. MOCIE appears has not shown much
    interest in recycling spent fuel.
  • On the other hand, MOST has recently shown much
    interest in recycling spent fuel, especially in
    pyroprocessing. I think the operation of Rokkasho
    reprocessing plants and GNEP influenced in
    strengthening the MOSTs stance on the recycling
    policy.

IV. Concluding remarks
  • The ROK should prepare an alternative to acquire
    additional storage capacity its spent fuel as
    pools of NPPs sites are running out of their
    storage capacities roughly within a decade.
  • The newly established National Energy Committee
    will evaluate alternatives and make policy
    decisions for the long-term spent fuel management
    in the ROK.
