In constant prices model the costs interimstorage the spent nuclear fuel of theBelarusian NPP on the territory of theRussian Federation with processing andreturn to the Republic of Belarus for disposalof cesium-strontium waste fractions afterrecycling, without the long-livedradionuclides are estimated at 0.241 cents perkWh of electricity generated by Belarus NPP.

In constant prices model the cost of long -term storage of spent nuclear fuel of theBelarusian NPP in the territory of theRepublic of Belarus for a period of 60 yearswith subsequent recycling in the RussianFederation, return and disposal of RW in theRepublic of Belarus, equal to 0.320 cents perkWh of generated electricity.

Under the assumption of cost discounting, the mosteconomically advantageous scenario is the long-term storage of spent nuclear fuel on the territory ofthe Republic of Belarus for a period of 60 yearswith subsequent recycling in the RussianFederation, return and disposal of RW in theRepublic of Belarus at a total reduced cost of 0.133cents per kWh.The reason is to assign the main costs in thescenario for 60 − 100 years ahead, which, taking intoaccount the discount in the given values, reducesthem several times.

When making assumptions about the prevailingescalation of costs from an economic point of viewthe most preferred scenario, as in constant prices, isthe scenario of interim storage the spent nuclearfuel of the Belarusian NPP on the territory of theRussian Federation with recycling and return to theRepublic of Belarus for near surface disposal ofshort-lived relative fraction waste the cost 0,642cents per kWh fractionation and return only thefraction of waste containing short-livedradionuclides, and 0.885 cents per kWh if thespecified option is rejected.

STRATEGY
for Management of Spent Nuclear
Fuel of the Republican Unitary
Enterprise “Belarusian Nuclear
Power Plant” was approved
by Government 22 August 2019
![Page 20: Department of Nuclear Power Ministry of Energy on... · 2019-11-18 · Under the assumption of cost discounting, the most economically advantageous scenario is the long-term storage](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042001/5e6da010f183a55244125669/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

The priority option for SF management of the
Belarusian NPP is currently SF recycling in
the Russian Federation with the return to the
Republic of Belarus of waste included in the
glass-like matrix containing radionuclides of
cesium-strontium (short-lived) fraction, with
the exception of long-lived radionuclides.
![Page 21: Department of Nuclear Power Ministry of Energy on... · 2019-11-18 · Under the assumption of cost discounting, the most economically advantageous scenario is the long-term storage](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042001/5e6da010f183a55244125669/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
21
Transportation of SF of the Belarusian NPP
will be carried out by rail, which includes up
to 8 special platforms with transport and
packaging containers (TUK).
In the stationary mode of the fuel cycle,
42 fuel assemblies are discharged per reactor
per year.
18 fuel assemblies with SF are placed in the
available transport container intended for
transportation of SF of WWER-1200.
![Page 22: Department of Nuclear Power Ministry of Energy on... · 2019-11-18 · Under the assumption of cost discounting, the most economically advantageous scenario is the long-term storage](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042001/5e6da010f183a55244125669/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
22
Optimization of transport and technological
operations associated with the preparation and
subsequent shipment of SF of the Belarusian NPP
for recycling requires a storage area at the NPP
with a capacity of 8-16 dual-purpose
(transportation and storage) containers that are
technologically compatible with the SF
management system in accordance with the NPP
project.

23
- development and conclusion of an
intergovernmental agreement between the Russian
Federation and the Republic of Belarus on
cooperation in handling SF of the Belarusian NPP
- inclusion in the intergovernmental agreement of the
principles of necessity of justification of readiness
(technical, economic, public) of the Russian
Federation for reception of SF, and the Republic of
Belarus for reception of products of its processing,
and also radiation equivalence of the returned fissile
materials and RW after recycling

24
- conclusion of a long-term framework contract for
the management of spent nuclear fuel of the
Belarusian NPP between the Belarusian and
Russian authorities
- development of long-term financing mechanisms for
the management of SF of the Belarusian NPP and
products thereof
- construction at the Belarusian nuclear power plant
the accumulation area with the possibility of
extension for the construction of the intermediate
(long-term) storage of spent nuclear fuel
