Development of Pyroprocessing Hot Cell Facility Design and Safety Enhancing Technology

Nuclear safety regulations, standards and requirements for development of pyroprocessing facility safety basis document was reviewed and hazard and accident analysis procedure for pyroprocessing facilities was established. Also, the hazard evaluation procedure was developed in this research for pyroprocessing facilities. Potential accident scenarios was developed and some case study was performed. We presented the fundamental requirements for major safety design requirements to be applicable to the Pyro hot cell facility. In addition, based on the 10-tHM scale pyroprocessing facility for the spent fuel treatment, draft P and I diagrams and configurations were presented regarding the requirements and concept of layouts for hot cell facility. And the models of safety evaluation for pyro hot cell facilities are also established and suggested for adaptation of future pyro hot cell facilities. National nuclear safety laws and standards related to spent fuel pyroprocess hot cell facilities were analyzed to survey and establish technical standards of pyroprocess facilities.
