Summary: | With conversion of nuclear development strategy from “proper development” to “positive development” in China, the future nuclear power scale and the amount of the spent nuclear fuels will be enormous, the construction of spent nuclear fuel reprocessing plant will be necessary to meet the sustainable development requirement. Because of the huge investment and high environmental sensitivity, the site selection of spent nuclear fuel reprocessing plant has always been the focus of controversy. This article summarizes the site selection considerations from the technical feasibility, safety reliability, environmental compatibility and economic rationality for further discussion about the scientific site selection of spent nuclear fuel reprocessing plant in China. |
