A Method for Selection of Spent Nuclear Fuel (SNF)Transportation Route Considering Socioeconomic Cost based on Contingent Valuation Method (CVM)
Transportation of SNF may cause an additional radiation exposure to human beings. Before the SNF transportation is performed, the route selection is concluded based on the radiological risk estimated with RADTRAN code in existing method generally. It means the existing method for route selection is based only on the radiological health risk. But there are not only the impacts related to the radiological health risk but also the socioeconomic impacts related to the cost. In this study, a new method and its numerical formula for route selection on transporting SNF is proposed based on cost estimation because there are several costs in transporting SNT. The total cost consists of radiological health cost, transportation cost, and socioeconomic cost. Each cost is defined properly to the characteristics of SNF transportation and many coefficients and variables describing the meaning of each cost are obtained or estimated through many surveys. Especially to get the. socioeconomic cost, contingent valuation method(CVM)is used with a questionnaire. The socioeconomic cost estimation is found to be the most important part of the total cost originated from transporting SNF.
