The amount of the tritium removed from the Wolsong NPPs after the WTRF operation start was simulated through the modeling of the tritium balance between the Wolsong NPPs and the WTRF. Five WTRF operating scenarios were proposed and the profiles of the tritium level depending on these scenarios were obtained from the simulation. It was predicted that about 9x10{sup 17} Bq/yr of tritium would be removed in the beginning of WTRF operation. However the tritium levels in the moderators will be steadily reduced and saturated less than 3x10{sup 11} Bq/kg in 2013, and then about 2x10{sup 17} Bq/yr of tritium will be removed from the Wolsong NPPs by the WTRF operation.
