RADIOACTIVE WASTE ISOLATION IN SALT: SPECIAL ADVISORY REPORT ON THE STATUS OF THE OFFICE OF NUCLEAR WASTE ISOLATION'S PLANS FOR REPOSITORY PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT
RADIOACTIVE WASTE ISOLATION IN SALT: SPECIAL ADVISORY REPORT ON THE STATUS OF THE OFFICE OF NUCLEAR WASTE ISOLATION'S PLANS FOR REPOSITORY PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT
Repository performance assessment is analysis that identifies events and processes that might affect a repository system for isolation of radioactive waste, examines their effects on barriers to waste migration, and estimates the probabilities of their occurrence and their consequences. In 1983 Battelle Memorial Institute's Office of Nuclear Waste Isolation (ONWI) prepared two plans — one for performance assessment for a waste repository in salt and one for verification and validation of performance assessment technology. At the request of the U.S.

LESSONS LEARNED FROM YUCCA MOUNTAIN: HOW TO IMPROVE THE PROCESS IN THE UNITED STATES FOR DEVELOPING FACILITIES FOR GEOLOGIC DISPOSAL OF USED NUCLEAR REACTOR FUEL AND HIGH-LEVEL RADIOACTIVE WASTE
LESSONS LEARNED FROM YUCCA MOUNTAIN: HOW TO IMPROVE THE PROCESS IN THE UNITED STATES FOR DEVELOPING FACILITIES FOR GEOLOGIC DISPOSAL OF USED NUCLEAR REACTOR FUEL AND HIGH-LEVEL RADIOACTIVE WASTE
This white paper offers some suggestions about how to improve the process in the United States for developing facilities for geologic disposal of used nuclear reactor fuel and high-level radioactive waste. These suggestions look toward the future, and build on what I believe are the lessons that should be learned from the troubled Yucca Mountain repository project.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT Waste Isolation Pilot Plant
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT Waste Isolation Pilot Plant
The purpose of this document is to provide a summary of the environmental impact statement for the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) project. The Draft Environmental Impact Statement for the WIPP was published by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) in April 1979. This document was reviewed and commented on by members of the general public, private organizations, and governmental agencies. The Final Environmental Impact Statement was subsequently published in October, 1980.
Survey of National Programs for Managing High-Level Radioactive Waste and Spent Nuclear Fuel
Survey of National Programs for Managing High-Level Radioactive Waste and Spent Nuclear Fuel
The creation of high-activity, long-lived radioactive waste is an inevitable consequence of generating electricity in nuclear power plants. It also is an inevitable consequence of engaging in a set of activities associated with national defense, ranging from propelling nuclear submarines to producing the fissionable materials needed to construct nuclear weapons. Early in the nuclear era, the very-longterm management and the ultimate disposition of those wastes was not a high priority.

10 CFR Part 960 - General Guidelines for the Recommendation of Sites for Nuclear Waste Repositories
The Department of Energy, Office of Civilian Radioactive Waste Management, today proposes to amend its General Guidelines for the Recommendation of Sites for Nuclear Waste Repositories. The DOE is proposing these amendments to clarify and focus the Guidelines to be used in evaluating the suitability of the Yucca Mountain site in Nevada for development as a repository.

Development of Site Suitability Criteria for the High Level Waste Repository for Lawrence Livermore Laboratories
This report presents the results of our mining, geological<br/>and geotechnical studies provided in support of the development<br/>of site suitability criteria for the high level waste<br/>repository. This work was performed in accordance with our<br/>unsolicited proposal to LLL dated January 1977 and authorized<br/>by the University Purchase Order 6115603.
Report of Early Site Suitability Evaluation of the Potential Repository Site at Yucca Mountain, Nevada
Report of Early Site Suitability Evaluation of the Potential Repository Site at Yucca Mountain, Nevada
This study evaluated the technical suitability of Yucca Mountain, Nevada, as a potential site for a mined geologic repository for the permanent disposal of radioactive waste. The evaluation was conducted primarily to determine early in the site characterization program if there are any features or conditions at the site that indicate it is unsuitable for repository development. A secondary purpose was to determine the status of<br/>knowledge in the major technical areas that affect the suitability of the site.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Salt deposits are considered to be most attractive for this purpose because of their wide distribution and great abundance; they are easily mined, have good thermal properties, and are free of circulating groundwater.

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.
