Management of plu-thermal spent fuel, 2; Quantity assessment

Nishihara, Kenji  ; Abe, Takumi 

In order to investigate the management of plu-thermal spent fuel, we compared the various cycle quantities of one-time recycling and two-time recycling, assuming long-term storage, direct disposal, and reprocessing of spent nuclear fuel. As a result, it was found that the volume handled in the front-end (U-mining and enrichment process) is less than that in the twice-recycled process, while the volume handled in the once-recycled process is less than that in many other processes, such as the back-end process.
