The effect of ADS introduction: An estimation of the nuclear plant capacities introduced in<br />

future will be depend on a requirement from CO 2<br />

reduction scenario decided in the COP3 conference<br />

at Kyoto and limitation of uranium resources. Here, based on these conditions in Japan, the nuclear<br />

plant capacities are decided as maximum 140 GWe as shown in Figure 3. The mass flows of MA and<br />

iodine are investigated in a future symbiosis system for transmutation consisting of UO 2<br />

/MOX-LWRs,<br />

FBRs and ADSs. The accumulations of MA and iodine become about 150 and 20 tons in 2040 and<br />

900 and 200 tons in 2200, respectively, as shown in Figure 4. When the ADS will be introduced from<br />

2040, the system inventories of MA with Pu and iodine in the ADS cycle will become about 250 and<br />

50 tons during a time period of 2200. The mass for Pu, MA and iodine are balanced by introducing<br />

22 units of ADS until 2160.<br />
