Optimization of spent nuclear fuels per canister to improve the disposal efficiency of a deep geological repository in Korea

Jongtae Jeong et al.

Summary: In this study, a computer program called ACom was developed to combine spent nuclear fuels (SNFs) stored in canisters and ensure an even distribution of decay heat per canister. The results confirmed that ACom can achieve an even distribution of decay heat in disposal scenarios for SNF deep geological repositories (DGRs), with a lower maximum decay heat compared to estimated canisters using a reference SNF. This research conclusion is significant for improving the disposal efficiency of DGRs.
