SUMMARY

The concept of DUPIC(Direct Use of Spent PWR Fuel in CANDU reactors) is a

dry processing technology to manufacture CANDU fuel from spent PWR fuel

material. The DUPIG fuel development team in KAERI has been being carried out

experimental verification program of the second phase investigation based on

feasibility study, which was conducted in 1993. Real spent PWR fuel will be used in

the experiment from the end of this year and about 200 kg-U of spent PWR fuel is

supposed to be used by 2006.

During DUPIC fabrication process starting with the decladding of spent PWR

fuel material, powder is made through repeated oxidation and reduction processes.

Using this powder, green pellets, sintered pellet, fuel rod and fuel bundles are to be

manufactured. During the process, various forms of nuclear material such as rod cut,

powder, green pellet, sintered pellet, scrap, fuel rod, fuel bundle, sample and

radioactive waste, etc. will be involved.

Because the nuclear material is highly active, all the experiment must be done in

hot cell by remote handling. In addition, movement and management of nuclear

material between facilities or in a facility should be controlled rigorously by domestic

and international laws. Since this process contains powder handling of highly

radioactive spent fuel, prevention of dust contamination and safety control should be

kept in mind. As this experiment use various existed facilities, it is prerequisite to

move nuclear material such as rod cut, sample, DUPIC fuel for irradiation and

radioactive waste, etc. among facilities. Therefore, it is important to be ready for this

movement thoroughly.

This report describes facilities necessary for manufacturing experiment of DUPIC

fuel, manufacturing process and equipment. Nuclear material flows among facilities,

in PIEF and IMEF, for irradiation test, for post examination of DUPIC fuel, for

quality control, for chemical analysis and for treatment of radioactive waste have

been analyzed in details. This may be helpful for DUPIC project participants and

facility engineers working in related facilities to understand overall flow for nuclear

material and radioactive waste. Also, this report may be able to contribute to

understand nuclear material flow from the view point of nuclear material safeguard

and to prove transparency and safety of nuclear material measurement.

Abstract

This report describes facilities necessary for manufacturing

experiment of DUPIC fuel, manufacturing process and

equipment. Nuclear material flows among facilities, in PIEF

and IMEF, for irradiation test, for post examination of

DUPIC fuel, for quality control, for chemical analysis and for

treatment of radioactive waste have been analyzed in details.

This may be helpful for DUPIC project participants and

facility engineers working in related facilities to understand

overall flow for nuclear material and radioactive waste.
