for the year of 2089 represent the scenario where continued operation of 36 units of NPPs is not assumed, and those for the year of 2109 are for the scenario where continued operation of all NPPs except for Kori Unit 1 is taken into account. In addition, the contribution of fission products in the spent nuclear fuel is not included in this table.
