        In 2017, a decision was made to permanently shut down Kori Unit 1, and preparations began to be made for its decontamination and decommissioning. The dismantling of the biological shields concrete, reactor vessel (RV), and reactor vessel internals (RVI) is crucial to the nuclear decommissioning process. These components were radiologically activated by the neutron activation reaction occurring in the reactor during its operational period. Because of the radioactivity of the RV and RVI of Kori Unit 1, remotely controlled systems were developed for cutting within the cavity to reduce radiation exposure. Specialized equipment was developed for underwater cutting operations. This paper focuses on modeling related to RVI operations using the MAVRIC code and the dose calculation for a diver entering the cavity. The upper and lower parts of the RVI are classified as low-level radioactive waste, while the sides that came into contact with the fuel are classified as intermediate-level radioactive waste. Therefore, the modeling presented in this paper only considers the RVI sides because the upper and lower parts have a minimal impact on the radiation exposure. These research findings are anticipated to contribute to enhancing the efficiency and safety of nuclear reactor decommissioning operations.

        In 2017, the permanent shutdown of Kori Unit 1 was decided, marking the initiation of preparations for the decontamination and decommissioning of Kori Unit 1. The dismantling of radiologically contaminated equipment and concrete structures such as the Reactor Vessel (RV), Reactor Vessel Internals (RVI), and the Bio shield is crucial in the nuclear decommissioning process. These components became radiologically contaminated due to nuclear fission reactions occurring in the reactor during its operational period. The RVI dismantling at Spain’s Jose Cabrera Nuclear Power Plant involved the use of mechanical saws and disk cutters to divide it into approximately 430 pieces, taking 16 months to complete. Germany’s Stade Nuclear Power Plant employed mechanical circular saws to segment their RVI into about 170 pieces, which took 30 months to accomplish. Meanwhile, the RVI at Germany’s Wurgassen Nuclear Power Plant was subdivided into approximately 1,200 pieces using a combination of mechanical saws and abrasive water jets, requiring 61 months for completion. Due to the radioactivity in Kori Unit 1’s Reactor Vessel (RV) and Reactor Vessel Internals (RVI), remote-controlled systems were developed for cutting within the cavity to reduce radiation exposure. Specialized equipment was developed for underwater cutting operations. This paper focuses on modeling related to RVI operations using the MAVRIC code. The upper and lower parts of the RVI are classified as low-level radioactive waste, while the sides of the RVI that come into contact with fuel are classified as intermediate-level radioactive waste. Therefore, the modeling presented in this paper only considers the RVI sides since the upper and lower parts have a minimal impact on radiation exposure. Accurate calculations were performed through geometric modeling and radiation dose modeling. These research findings are anticipated to contribute to enhancing the efficiency and safety of nuclear reactor decommissioning operations
