Recommended new criteria for the selection of nuclear waste repository sites in Columbia River basalt and U.S. Gulf Coast domed salt
Recommended new criteria for the selection of nuclear waste repository sites in Columbia River basalt and U.S. Gulf Coast domed salt
Screening criteria and specifications are recommended to aid in the evaluation of sites proposed for nuclear waste disposal in basalt and domed salt. The recommended new criteria proposed in this report are intended to supplement existing repository-related criteria for nuclear waste disposal. The existing criteria are contained in 10 CFR 60 sections which define siting criteria of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), and ONWI 33(2) which defines siting criteria of the Office of Nuclear Waste Isolation (ONWI) for the Department of Energy.

Recommendations on the Proposed Monitored Retrievable Storage Facility
The Clinch River MRS Task Force was appointed in July 1985 by the Roane County Executive and the Oak Ridge City Council to evaluate the Monitored Retrievable Storage (MRS) facility proposed by the Department of Energy to be constructed in the Roane County portion of Oak Ridge. After several months of study, numerous public meetings, site visits to relevant facilities, and careful evaluation of the integrated MRS concept, it is the considered opinion of the Task Force that the facility could be safely build and operated in Roane County/Oak Ridge.
Program Plan for the Development of the Bedded Salt Pilot Plant
Program Plan for the Development of the Bedded Salt Pilot Plant
A program leading to the establishment in FY I983 of a pilot plant for storing radioactive wastes in bedded salt is described. The program consists of laboratory and field investigations of factors affecting the suitability of a specific site in southeastern New Mexico; of more generally applicable problems associated with geohydrology and rock mechanics; and of considerations bearing on the operational safety of a pilot plant repository. Tasks concerned with the engineering development and design of the facility are also included.
OWL CREEK ENERGY PROJECT: A SOLUTION TO THE SPENT FUEL TEMPORARY STORAGE ISSUE
OWL CREEK ENERGY PROJECT: A SOLUTION TO THE SPENT FUEL TEMPORARY STORAGE ISSUE
In mid-1997, a Wyoming-led group of companies announced plans to develop a private interim spent fuel storage project in Wyoming to be known as the Owl Creek Energy Project. The idea for the Wyoming project had been developed under the earlier 1990s Nuclear Waste Negotiator Program. During that earlier activity, the project would have been a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) project.
Regional Summary and Recommended Study Areas for the Texas Panhandle Portion of the Permian Basin
Regional Summary and Recommended Study Areas for the Texas Panhandle Portion of the Permian Basin
This report summarizes the regional geologic and environmental characterizations that have been completed for the Permian region of study, and describes the procedure used to identify study areas for the next phase of investigation. The factors evaluated in the Permian region fall into three broad areas: health and safety, environmental and socioeconomic, and engineering and economic considerations.
INITIAL SCREENING FOR SITING A DEEP GEOLOGICAL REPOSITORY FOR CANADA'S USED NUCLEAR FUEL - City of Elliot Lake
INITIAL SCREENING FOR SITING A DEEP GEOLOGICAL REPOSITORY FOR CANADA'S USED NUCLEAR FUEL - City of Elliot Lake
On March 12, 2012, the City of Elliot Lake expressed interest in learning more about the Nuclear Waste Management Organization (NWMO) site selection process to find an informed and willing community to host a deep geological repository for Canada’s used nuclear fuel (NWMO, 2010). This report summarizes the findings of an initial screening, conducted by Geofirma Engineering Ltd., to evaluate the potential suitability of the City of Elliot Lake against five screening criteria using readilyavailable information.

REVIEW OF POTENTIAL HOST ROCKS FOR RADIOACTIVE WASTE DISPOSAL IN THE SOUTHEASTERN UNITED STATES
REVIEW OF POTENTIAL HOST ROCKS FOR RADIOACTIVE WASTE DISPOSAL IN THE SOUTHEASTERN UNITED STATES
The geology of the southeastern United States was studied to recommend areas that should be considered for field exploration in order to select a site for a radioactive waste repository. The region studied included the Piedmont Province, the Triassic Hasins, and the Atlantic Coastal Plain in Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia. This study was -entirely a review of literature and existing knowledge from a geotechnical point of view and was performed by subcontractors whose individual reports are listed in the bibliography. No field work was involved.

This report summarizes the findings of an initial screening, conducted by Geofirma Engineering Ltd., to evaluate the potential suitability of the Town of Spanish against five screening criteria using readily available information.
A Multiattribute Utility Analysis of Sites Nominated for Characterization for the First Radioactive-Waste Repository: A Decision Aiding Methodology
A Multiattribute Utility Analysis of Sites Nominated for Characterization for the First Radioactive-Waste Repository: A Decision Aiding Methodology
In December 1984, the Department of Energy (DOE) published draft environmental assessments (EAs) to support the proposed<br/> nomination of five sites and the recommendation of three sites for characterization for the first radioactive-waste repository. A chapter common to all the draft EAs<br/>(Chapter 7) presented rankings of the five sites against the postclosure and the preclosure technical siting guidelines.

Private Fuel Storage Facility Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation
In accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR Part 72, Private Fuel Storage L.L.C. hereby applies for a specific license to receive, transfer and possess power reactor spent fuel and other radioactive material associated with spent fuel storage in an independent spent fuel storage installation (ISFSI) to be constructed and operated on the Skull Valley Indian Reservation in Tooele County, Utah. The license is requested for the storage of spent fuel discharged from licensed U.S. nuclear power reactors in dry storage systems designed by Holtec, International and Sierra Nuclear Corporation.
REVIEW OF POTENTIAL HOST ROCKS FOR RADIOACTIVE WASTE DISPOSAL IN THE PIEDMONT PROVINCE OF GEORGIA
REVIEW OF POTENTIAL HOST ROCKS FOR RADIOACTIVE WASTE DISPOSAL IN THE PIEDMONT PROVINCE OF GEORGIA
The disposal of radioactive waste in the proper geologic environment offers a high potential for isolating the waste from man's environment for the period of time required for the waste to decay to innocuous levels. As part of the National Waste Terminal Storage Program, the Savannah River Laboratory has responsibility for studies related to the storage of waste in the geologic environment in the Southeast.

Nuclear Waste Management and Environmental Mediation: An Exploratory Analysis
Nuclear Waste Management and Environmental Mediation: An Exploratory Analysis
The purpose of this paper is to explore the possible application of environmental conflict mediation techniques to the siting of a nuclear waste repository. Since much has been written about the issues in nuclear waste management ~n other contexts (see particularly Bishop, et al., 1978; Abrams, 1979; Hewlett, 1978; Interagency Review Group, 1979; Schilling & Nealey, 1979) our focus will be to describe and analyze the major characteristics of a range of techniques that can broadly be called environmental mediation.
Radioactive Wastes: Publc Attitudes toward Disposal Facilities
Radioactive Wastes: Publc Attitudes toward Disposal Facilities
Although some observers have concluded that the technology required to assure safe disposal of nuclear wastes is currently available, others have expressed concern about the stability of the institutions that might be required to maintain the isolation of nuclear wastes. Questions about institutional stability and other factors associated with nuclear power and nuclear waste have been the subject of some study in public opinion research.
