Full System Chemical Decontamination Concept for Kori Unit 1 Decommissioning

  • Doo Ho Lee ; Hyuk Chul Kwon ; Deok Ki Kim
Abstract

Kori Unit 1, the first PWR (Pressurized Water Reactor) plant in Korea, began its commercial operation in 1978 and will permanently shut down on June 18, 2017. After moving the spent fuels to SFP (Spent Fuel Pool) system, Kori Unit 1 will perform a full system chemical decontamination to reduce radiation levels inside the various plant systems. This paper will describe the operation concept of the full system chemical decontamination for Kori Unit 1 based on experiences overseas.
