Abstract

In this study, life cycle assessment(LCA) for the nuclear power generation system and the thermal power generation system, which make a great distribution of the electric power supply in Korea, has been carried out to compare the environmental impact between two power generation systems. In system boundary of this study, the stage of construction, operation and demolition & disposal were included. For life cycle impact assessment(LCIA), three cases were considered; the single environmental impact for the $CO_2$ emissions, the 8 major global environmental impact, and the major global environmental impact categories including radioactive impact. As the results, it was found that the nuclear power generation system is environmentally superior to the thermal power generation system as 10,000 times in the evaluation for the $CO_2$ emissions, 90 times in the evaluation for the 8 major environmental impact categories, and 40 times in the evaluation for the environmental impact categories including radioactive impact.

본 연구에서는 국내 전력공급을 양분하는 원자력발전시스템과 화력발전시스템사이에 대하여 LCA를 수행하여 환경영향을 비교 평가하였다. 연구범위로서 두 발전시스템의 건설, 운영, 해체 및 폐기처분단계를 포함하였으며, 환경영향은 Life Cycle Impact Assessment(LCIA) 방법론을 이용하여 단일 환경영향으로 $CO_2$ 배출량을 평가하고, 영향 범주를 확대하여 8대 지구 환경영향 및 방사능 영향을 포함한 환경영향에 대하여 평가를 수행하였다. 평가 결과, 원자력발전시스템이 화력발전시스템보다 $CO_2$ 배출량 평가에서는 10,000배, 8대 환경영향범주에 대한 평가에서는 90배, 방사능을 고려한 환경영향 평가결과에서는 40배의 환경적 우위를 나타내어 환경영향범주 확대와 방사능 포함여부에 따라 원자력발전의 친환경성이 크게 달라짐을 알 수 있었다.
