The country / region specific share of boiling water reactor (BWR) and pressurized water reactor (PWR) is taken into account as well as the country / region specific nuclear fuel supply chain. The inventory is partly based on primary industry data, partly on secondary literature data. Radioactive waste refurbishment, if any, is modeled. Radioactive waste disposal is not modeled since there is globally no permanent disposal site in operation.922The data set represents the average national or region specific electricity production based on nuclear energy. Main technologies of electricity generation are considered according to the national or region specific situation.Foreground system:
The model comprises the production of electricity from a mix of pressure water (PWR) and boiling water (BWR) reactors. The power plants are parameterized and the mix is country specific. Furthermore the model includes the infrastructure of the power plant as well as the end-of-life of the auxiliary buildings, e.g. cooling tower. The model is structured considering the main phases of the fuel cycle. In that perspective, the following main steps are considered:
a) Mining - extraction of the uranium from the mine using the processes of open pit mining and/or underground mining and/or in situ leach mining;
b) Milling - extraction of the uranium from the rock and production of a highly concentrated uranium oxide - "yellow cake";
c) Conversion - conversion of the "yellow cake" into uranium hexafluoride through dry process or wet process;
d) Enrichment - increase of the proportion of isotopes U235 in the uranium hexafluoride through one of the technologies: diffusion or centrifuge;
e) Fuel fabrication / production of the fuel assemblies that will be used in the reactors;
f) Use of the uranium in reactor; as mentioned, two types of reactor are represented: pressure and boiling water reactors.
g) End of life of the spent fuel; after using the uranium in the rector, there are different possibilities for the uranium end-of-life: no reprocessing (direct storage); reprocessing according to UK technology; reprocessing according to FR technology;
h) End-of-life of the LLW/MLW generated; according to the type of wastes, these are directly disposed or have a treatment (typically incineration, fusion and/or vitrification).
Background system:
Electricity: Electricity is modelled according to the individual country-specific situations. The country-specific modelling is achieved on multiple levels. Firstly, individual energy carrier specific power plants and plants for renewable energy sources are modelled according to the current national electricity grid mix. Modelling the electricity consumption mix includes transmission / distribution losses and the own use by energy producers (own consumption of power plants and "other" own consumption e.g. due to pumped storage hydro power etc.), as well as imported electricity. Secondly, the national emission and efficiency standards of the power plants are modelled as well as the share of electricity plants and combined heat and power plants (CHP). Thirdly, the country-specific energy carrier supply (share of imports and / or domestic supply) including the country-specific energy carrier properties (e.g. element and energy content) are accounted for. Fourthly, the exploration, mining/production, processing and transport processes of the energy carrier supply chains are modelled according to the specific situation of each electricity producing country. The different production and processing techniques (emissions and efficiencies) in the different energy producing countries are considered, e.g. different crude oil production technologies or different flaring rates at the oil platforms.
Thermal energy, process steam: The thermal energy and process steam supply is modelled according to the individual country-specific situation with regard to emission standards and considered energy carriers. The thermal energy and process steam are produced at heat plants. Efficiencies for thermal energy production are by definition 100% in relation to the corresponding energy carrier input. For process steam the efficiency ranges from 85%, 90% to 95%. The energy carriers used for the generation of thermal energy and process steam are modelled according to the specific import situation (see electricity above).
Transports: All relevant and known transport processes are included. Ocean-going and inland ship transport as well as rail, truck and pipeline transport of bulk commodities are considered.
Energy carriers: The energy carriers are modelled according to the specific supply situation (see electricity above).
Refinery products: Diesel fuel, gasoline, technical gases, fuel oils, lubricants and residues such as bitumen are modelled with a parameterised country-specific refinery model. The refinery model represents the current national standard in refining techniques (e.g. emission level, internal energy consumption, etc.) as well as the individual country-specific product output spectrum, which can be quite different from country to country. The supply of crude oil is modelled, again, according to the country-specific situation with the respective properties of the resources.Nuclear fuel supply (data set not included in documentation) (data set not included in documentation) (data set not included in documentation)Supply of 1 kWh medium voltage (1kV - 60kV) electricity to final consumers.Energy_Electricity_from_Nuclear_Power.JPGLCI resultAttributionalNoneNot applicableNoneAll data used in the calculation of the LCI results refer to net calorific value.NoneGaBi Modelling PrinciplesGaBi Water Modelling PrinciplesGaBi Agriculture Model DocumentationGaBi Land Use Change Model DocumentationGaBi Energy Modelling PrinciplesGaBi Refinery Modelling PrinciplesCut-off rules for each unit process: Coverage of at least 95% of mass and energy of the input and output flows, and 98% of their environmental relevance (according to expert judgment).NoneThe data sources for the complete product system are sufficiently consistent: The key emissions e.g. radioactive substances and the amount of radioactive waste by category of the nuclear power plant are based on measured operating data taken from national statistics. A detailed nuclear power plant models is used to calculate the environmental footprint. The data on the nuclear fuel supply chain are based on statistics with country / region-specific transport distances and energy carrier composition, as well as industry and literature data on the inventory of exploration, production and processing. Infrastructure data are from literature. LCI modelling is fully consistent.NoneEnergy carrier specific power plants are modelled according to the national / regional conversion technology.

The documentation includes all relevant information in view of the data quality and scope of the application of the respective LCI result / data set. The dataset represents the state-of-the-art in view of the referenced functional unit.thinkstepIABP-GaBiIBP-GaBiOverall quality according to different validation schemes
GaBi = 1,8 interpreted into "good overall quality" in the GaBi quality validation scheme
ILCD = 1,9 interpreted into "basic overall quality" in the ILCD quality validation scheme
PEF = 1,8 interpreted into "very good overall quality" in the PEF quality validation schemeThe dataset and systems, which are provided with our software and databases for public use into a broad user community, are constantly used, compared, benchmarked, screened, reviewed and results published in various external, professional and third party LCA applications in industry, academia and politics. So user feedback via the online GaBi forum or direct via user information is a standard routine in the maintenance and update process and leads to stable quality and constant control and improvement of data, if knowledge or technology improves or industrial process chains develop or change.GaBi user forumGaBi bug forumGaBi user communityGaBi conformity systemFully compliantFully compliantFully compliantFully compliantFully compliantNot definedUNEP SETAC Life Cycle InitiativeNot definedNot definedNot definedNot definedNot definedNot definedILCD Data Network - Entry-levelNot definedFully compliantFully compliantNot definedFully compliantNot definedthinkstepThis background LCI data set can be used for any types of LCA studies.thinkstep2018-02-01T00:00:00.000ILCD format 1.1thinkstepNo official approval by producer or operator2018-02-01T00:00:00.00000.00.001Data set finalised; entirely publishedGaBi databasesthinksteptrueOtherGaBi (source code, database including extension modules and single data sets, documentation) remains property of thinkstep AG. thinkstep AG delivers GaBi licenses comprising data storage medium and manual as ordered by the customer.
