        The saturation rates of the spent fuel (SF) wet storage at the Kori Nuclear Power Plant (NPP), Hanbit, and Hanul are 83.3%, 74.2%, and 80.8% as of the fourth quarter of 2021. The storages of Kori NPP and Hanbit NPP are expected to be saturated in 2031, and Hanul is expected to be saturated in 2032. Therefore, the construction of an interim storage facility to store the SF temporarily stored in the NPP was planned, and preparations for the safe transport of the SF are required. In this paper, radiological preliminary assessment using NRC-RADTRAN in the process of sea transport of SF from the wet storage or ISFSI of the Hanbit NPP to the optional interim storage facility was performed. Since domestic SF transport vessels are not currently in operation, the specifications of the UK Pacific Grebe vessel which can carry up to 20 casks were used. The transport cask used the specifications of KORAD-21, a transport container developed in Korea. Because it can carry more SF assemblies than the existing KN-18. In addition, a land transport safety test was conducted in 2020 and a sea transport test is planned. The sea transport route was entered by referring to the transport route of domestic low and intermediate level waste. The accidents rate was calculated using statistics on maritime accidents from 2017 to 2021. The probability accidents along the transportation route were evaluated as 3.152E -10. When transporting to an interim storage facility, the SF expected to be the main transport target was selected as WH 17X17, combustion 45,000 MWD/MTU, and concentration of 4.5%. The source term was calculated and entered according to this data and the release fraction was entered with reference to the DOE report. In the case of normal transport without accident, the individual dose of the crew member and public residents were estimated to be 0.0525% and 0.000492% of the annual limit of 1 mSv/yr for the general public. Under the accident conditions, the annual individual doses of residents were 0.0011%, 0.0023%, 0.0034%, and 0.0046% of the annual limit of 1 mSv/yr when carrying 5, 10, 15, and 20 casks. Currently, the site of the interim storage facility has not been precisely determined, but a preliminary radiation assessment through sea transport resulted in a significantly lower than the limit. Combined scenario sea transport followed by land transport will be carried out in the next stage of study.
