| dc.description.abstract | As a result of renewable energy inefficiently in our country, and to environmental protection and economic growth, the nuclear energy is a clean energy alternative for us. And it is widely known that nuclear power generation is carbon-free energy, which is an important alternative to arrive the Kyoto Protocol target. About nuclear power generation system, the back end division is relative lack of public trust. In the present, Taiwan still never set up in low-radiation waste disposal sites. And there are issues of storage capacity about the spend nuclear fuel in nuclear power plants. The purpose of this study is to solve the radioactive waste management problems of the back end division of nuclear power generation system.
In this study, I hope to describe the facts objectively by using secondary research method to collect information and documentation of different channels. I also interview with experts by letters and participate in the forum, which will obtain more complete evidence for this study.
From this research, if United States is willing to loose the AIT-TECRO Agreement of Civil Nuclear Cooperation and EXPORT AND IMPORT OF NUCLEAR EQUIPMENT AND
MATERIAL, it would be the first step for Taiwan’’s nuclear energy development. In addition, we could infer that as long as some countries are willing to provide the services of uranium enrichment and fuel recycling and we would seek regional cooperation of Japan to deal with spend nuclear fuel. On the other hand, we could sign a cooperation agreement of nuclear fuel cycle with AREVA of long-standing cooperation. Now we should be as soon as possible replace nuclear power equipment at this stage, which can be used for process nuclear fuel recycling and burning out all high-level radioactive waste. Regarding the management of radioactive waste, we not only have to continue to minimize the amount of the waste, but also to enhance information transparency to seek consensus with local civic and build waste disposal sites in the future. Furthermore, as locating in the Circum-Pacific seismic belt, Taiwan is not a suitable place for high-level radioactive disposal facilities in the long run. Therefore, seeking the tansnational energy cycle cooperation with the Global Nuclear Energy Partnership (GNEP) program is necessary. These activities contribute to assist non-proliferation of nuclear weapons, and also solve the accumulated problem of high-level radioactive waste at the same time.
