AbstractAbstract
[en] In this first revision, several integrated scenarios of the NPP Krsko dismantling and waste management were developed and analyzed in order to estimate the decommissioning program (DP) costs and to propose an appropriate funding plan. Most dismantling technologies and cost estimates were derived from the original decommissioning plan adopted in 1996. The LILW disposal cost estimates, however, rely on the tunnel type facility design which was developed in Slovenia a few years ago, whereas the SF repository design for this DP was adapted from the Swedish deep disposal concept. The starting assumptions for this DP were that the LILW repository would be licensed by 2013, the NPP would be permanently shut down in 2023, and the SF repository would become available in 2030. The boundary conditions also specified that DP should first re-evaluate the SID strategy from the original plan (Strategy Immediate Dismantling with immediate SF disposal, but also with a long period of on-site decay storage for the activated components, so that it actually terminates only after 96 years), and then modify it to achieve truly prompt decommissioning in which all planned activities should be completed within about 15 years after the NPP shut-down. In addition, the option of SF export to a third country should be introduced in all DP scenarios, as a realistic alternative to SF disposal into the local repository (in Slovenia or in Croatia). And finally, dry storage of SF for some 30 years before disposal or export, in an independent installation on unspecified location, should be evaluated within the DP sensitivity analysis. After a thorough analysis of the original SID strategy, it became clear that substantial modifications would be necessary in order to meet the boundary conditions while complying with the specified design and technologies of the assumed LILW and SF disposal facilities. Therefore, a systematic procedure for development and financial evaluation of feasible scenarios was adopted. The procedure relies on an integrated scenario timetable, in which decisive DP activities are charted side by side, together with the schedule of their annual expenses which will be used as input for the subsequent discounting and cash flow calculations. This finally led to three groups of scenarios consistent with the boundary conditions: (1) SID-96 scenarios (the required re-evaluation of the original SID strategy); (2) SID-15 scenarios in which all DP activities would be completed in 15 years or less; and (3) SID scenarios with dry storage of SF. The cash flow calculations demonstrated that the SF dry storage scenarios have the lowest discounted costs. Also, they provide the greatest confidence in timely realization of the SF disposal or export plans. In addition to a pair of 30-year dry storage scenarios (with the SF disposal or export), an option of 45-year SF storage was also introduced. Actually, the SID-30 and SID-45 scenarios can be viewed only as limiting cases of an entire range of the intermediate SF dry storage options. Therefore, the decision on the DP funding can reasonably be based upon the SID-45 cost estimates, possibly rounded upwards to an amount which would encompass some of the shorter variants too.(author)
