The management before disposal of spent nuclear fuel is an essential process for safe management. It is important to determine the amount of nuclide inventory in order to ensure the integrity of spent nuclear fuel, as radiation generated from the nuclides is generated along with residual heat in the spent nuclear fuel. Based on the data on the characteristics of spent nuclear fuel generated in Korea, the correlation equation between burnup and enrichment was derived by referring to overseas cases (Sweden). Source term analysis was performed using the SCALE ORIGEN ARP code by securing the burnup history of nuclear fuel. Calculation was performed by inputting the combustion history of the fuel WH14×14 and WH17×17 as a reference for CE16×16 spent fuel. Through this study, the relationship was identified using the burnup, enrichment, and cooling time factors that influence the characteristics of spent nuclear fuel. In addition, the total source and spectrum data from neutrons and gamma sources were used to find out the characteristics of fuel.
