Advanced spent fuel Conditioning Process(ACP) project which is under development for efficient spent fuel management has finished process feasibility study and is preparing type hot cell construction for process experimentaton. Radiation dose evaluation for the radioactive nuclides were preliminarily performed for normal operation and accident case with the basic concept design report, the meteorological data and the recent site specific data. According to the production and release rate of nuclides, dose evaluations for residents around facility were performed. The evaluation result shows a safe margin for regulation limits and SAR(Safety Analysis Report) limit of IMEF(Irradiated Material Examination Facility) where this facility will be constructed.
