The simulation tool of spent fuel transportation plan is being developed to support the development of core technology for transporting and storing spent fuel developed by the Korea Radioactive Waste Management Corporation (KRMC). So we extracted the major activities involved in spent fuel transport — such as setting-up a transport volume, infrastructure, processes and systems. And then we analyzed the components and properties of each activity. The impact factors related to spent fuel transport were determined to be maximum loading capacity of the INF ship and interim storage facility location, and it was around these that the preliminary scenario was generated. This will be used as a conceptual data model for the development of a simulation tool for spent fuel transportation plans.
