| description | This paper describes the development of a discrete event simulation model using the FlexSim software to support planning for soil remediation at Korean nuclear power plants that are undergoing decommissioning. Soil remediation may be required if site characterization shows that there has been radioactive contamination of soil from plant operations or the decommissioning process. The simulation model was developed using a dry soil separation and soil washing process. Preliminary soil data from the Kori 1 nuclear power plant was used in the model. It was shown that a batch process such as soil washing can be effectively modeled as a discrete event process. Efficient allocation of resources and efficient waste management including volume and classification reduction can be achieved by use of the model for planning the soil remediation process. Cost will be an important criterion in the choice of suitable technologies for soil remediation but is not included in this conceptual model. |
