Nuclear fuel factory (nuclear fuel factory construction)

Emissions generated by the activity within the product supply chain as described in ecoinvent v3.10. This is an immobile infrastructure representing the construction of a nuclear fuel factory. The lifetime is assumed to be 30 years. In the modelled fuel factory mixed oxide fuel assemblies (MOX mixture of uranium oxide from depleted uranium from enrichment and plutonium oxide from reprocessed plutonium) are used together with fresh uranium fuel assemblies in light water reactors (LWRs). The associated infrastructure demand factor is 3.7E-8 plant per kgU in fuel assembly.The process includes land use of the factory energy (electricity and diesel) consumption durion construction building material (concrete steel copper aluminium chrome manganese nickel cast iron zinc and wood) and decommission. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary transforming activity. The reference product amount is 1.
