The activity generating the emissions is nuclear fuel factory construction. The Reference Product is nuclear fuel factory. This is an immobile infrastructure, representing the construction of a nuclear fuel factory. The lifetime is assumed to be 30 years. In the modelled fuel factory, mixed oxide fuel assemblies (MOX, mixture of uranium oxide from depleted uranium from enrichment and plutonium oxide from reprocessed plutonium) are used together with fresh uranium fuel assemblies in light water reactors (LWRs). The associated infrastructure demand factor is 3.7E-8 plant per kgU in fuel assembly.The process includes land use of the factory, energy (electricity and diesel) consumption durion construction, building material (concrete, steel, copper, aluminium, chrome, manganese, nickel, cast iron, zinc, and wood) and decommission. The Reference Product amount is 1. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary transforming activity. Please refer to the ecoinvent documentation for full details: https://ecoquery.ecoinvent.org/3.12/cutoff/dataset/2778/documentation
