Abstract

With the rapid development of nuclear power and the accelerated progress of decommissioning and treatment of corresponding nuclear facilities, it is inevitable to build a large number of nuclear fuel cycle facilities, so as to complete the production of nuclear fuel elements required by nuclear power plants and the recovery and treatment of spent fuel and corresponding three wastes (wastewater, waste gas and solid waste) generated by nuclear power plants. According to the nuclear power medium and long term development plan (2005–2020), China’s nuclear power industry follows the path of closed nuclear fuel cycle [1]. Based on this, this paper makes a preliminary analysis and demonstration of the rationality of the reactor closed nuclear fuel cycle.
