摘要
The effects of waste loading in vitrified high-level nuclear waste (HLW) from the reprocessing of high-burnup spent fuel (56 GWd/tHM) on waste volume reduction (i.e., number of HLW canisters produced) and decay heat generation were investigated to minimize the repository footprint. As the waste loading increases, the number of canisters produced decreases; however, the decay heat and subsequent footprint per canister increase. The best estimate waste loading observed was 23 wt% (including 10 wt% Na2O), wherein the repository footprint minimizes to 60.0 m(2)/tHM. These results are slightly higher than those for standard HLW (55.5 m(2)/tHM). However, upon comparing the repository footprint with electric power generation, the benefit of optimization was that the footprint for high-burnup HLW (131 m(2)/TWh) was 13% smaller than that of standard HLW (151 m(2)/TWh).
