FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT Waste Isolation Pilot Plant Volume 2 of 2
This document provides environmental input for certain decisions in the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) program for managing the transuranic radio-active waste generated in the national defense program. This final environ-mental impact statement was preceded by a draft statement published by the DOE in April 1979. Large quantities of radioactive waste have resulted from the production of nuclear weapons and the operation of military reactors in national defense programs. This waste includes both high-level waste (HLW) and transuranic (TRU) waste.

TECHNICAL STATUS OF THE RADIOACTIVE WASTE REPOSITORY - A DEMONSTRATION PROJECT FOR SOLID RADIOACTIVE WASTE DISPOSAL
This report reviews the work that has been done to establish the suitability of bedded salt formations for the containment of radioactive solid wastes and describes the nature of the additional investigations that are either under way or are scheduled to be carried out. It is believed that this work constitutes a valid technical justification for proceeding with the present plans to establish a demonstration repository at Lyons, Kansas.

Technical Basis Report For Surface Characteristics, Preclosure Hydrology, And Erosion
Technical Basis Report For Surface Characteristics, Preclosure Hydrology, And Erosion
This study presents a synthesis of information and interpretations relevant to surficial processes at the Yucca Mountain Site. The report is part of the technical basis which will be used to evaluate the suitability of Yucca Mountain, Nevada, as a site for a mined geologic repository for the permanent disposal of high-level radioactive waste and spent nuclear fuel. It provides a description of the surface characteristics, preclosure hydrology, and erosion at the Yucca Mountain Site. This report will provide the technical basis to evaluate three technical guidelines from the U.S.

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.

The MRS Task Force: Economic and Non-Economic Incentives for Local Public Acceptance of a Proposed Nuclear Waste Packaging and Storage Facility
A joint Oak Ridge - Roane County citizen task force (TF) evaluated the<br/>Department of Energy's (DOE) proposal to site a Monitored Retrievable Storage<br/>facility in Tennessee in terms of environmental, transportation and socioeconomic<br/>impacts. The case study examines how the TF used mitigation, compensation and<br/>incentives (economic and non-economic) to address the problem of distrust of DOE<br/>and to change the net local impact balance from negative to positive.
Evaluation of Potential Economic Impacts of 40 CFR Part 197: Public Health and Environmental Radiation Protection Standards for Yucca Mountain, Nevada
Evaluation of Potential Economic Impacts of 40 CFR Part 197: Public Health and Environmental Radiation Protection Standards for Yucca Mountain, Nevada
The information presented in this EIA has demonstrated that the design of a repository for disposal of radioactive wastes at Yucca Mountain has evolved without having been affected by the EPA standards. The standards have been demonstrated to have no impact on repository program costs, and nominal performance for the current repository design would result in no radiation doses for more than 10,000 years. Additionally, the difference between a 25 mrem/yr dose standard and a 15 mrem/yr standard is insignificant to program costs and performance evaluations.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT Waste Isolation Pilot Plant
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT Waste Isolation Pilot Plant
