Keywords:Nuclear Fuel Cycle, Radioactive Waste, NFCSS, Fuel Cycle Mass Balance

The NFCSS (Nuclear Fuel Cycle Simulation System), which is used in this research to evaluate the material balance of nuclear fuel cycle, simulates the material flow at each process from fuel fabrication to reprocessing in the IAEA web platform. In this research, a user-friendly Excel program is developed to assess the environmental load of radioactive wastes for reprocessing, separation, and disposal options of spent nuclear fuel. It also aims to add the functions for the back-end of nuclear fuel cycle to the NFCSS.
