RD&D Programme 2007: Programme for research, development, and demonstration of methods for the management and disposal of nuclear waste
RD&D Programme 2007 presents SKB’s plans for research, development and demonstration during<br/>the period 2008–2013. The plans for the first three-year period are for natural reasons more detailed<br/>than those for the next one.
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.

Response of the UK Government and the Department of the Environment, Northern Ireland to the Committee on Radioactive Waste management (CoRWM) Report on 'Geological Disposal of Higher Activity Radioactive Wastes'
Response of the UK Government and the Department of the Environment, Northern Ireland to the Committee on Radioactive Waste management (CoRWM) Report on 'Geological Disposal of Higher Activity Radioactive Wastes'
The primary task of the Committee on Radioactive Waste Management (CoRWM) is to provide independent scrutiny of the Government’s and Nuclear Decommissioning Authority’s proposal, plans and programmes to deliver geological disposal, together with robust interim storage, as the long-term<br/>management option for the UK’s higher activity wastes. In June 2007 the Scottish Executive announced a policy of near-surface, near-site long-term storage rather than geological disposal.
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.

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.

Spent Fuel Storage Requirements 1991-2040
Spent Fuel Storage Requirements 1991-2040
Historical inventories of spent fuel are combined with U.S Department of Energy (DOE) projections of future discharges from commercial nuclear reactors in the United States to provide estimates of spent fuel storage requirements over the next 50 years, through the year 2040. The needs for storage capacity beyond that presently available in the pools are estimated. These estimates incorporate the maximum capacities within current-and planned in-pool storage facilities and any planned transshipments of fuel to ther reactors or, facilities.
WHITE PAPER Regarding OPPOSITION TO THE HIGH-LEVEL NUCLEAR WASTE STORAGE FACILITY Proposed By PRIVATE FUEL STORAGE On The SKULL VALLEY BAND OF GOSHUTE INDIAN RESERVATION SKULL VALLEY, UTAH
WHITE PAPER Regarding OPPOSITION TO THE HIGH-LEVEL NUCLEAR WASTE STORAGE FACILITY Proposed By PRIVATE FUEL STORAGE On The SKULL VALLEY BAND OF GOSHUTE INDIAN RESERVATION SKULL VALLEY, UTAH
There are no nuclear power plants in Utah. Despite that, Utah is targeted to be the site of the largest facility ever licensed for storage of spent nuclear fuel rods (high-level nuclear waste) from nuclear power plants. This proposed site would store up to 40,000 metric tons of spent nuclear fuel. The storage of this amount of waste in one location is equivalent to all the commercial spent nuclear fuel rods in the United States. The Federal government has responsibility for permanently storing this high-level nuclear waste, but after 18 years, it has missed the deadline.

Civilian Nuclear Spent Fuel Temporary Storage Options
Civilian Nuclear Spent Fuel Temporary Storage Options
The Department of Energy (DOE) is studying a site at Yucca Mountain, Nevada, for a permanent underground repository for highly radioactive spent fuel from nuclear reactors, but delays have pushed back the facility’s opening date to 2010 at the earliest. In the meantime, spent fuel is accumulating at U.S. nuclear plant sites at the rate of about 2,000 metric tons per year. Major options for managing those growing quantities of nuclear spent fuel include continued storage at reactors, construction of a DOE interim storage site near Yucca Mountain, and licensing of private storage facilities.
Site selection - Siting of the Final Repository for Spent Nuclear Fuel
Site selection - Siting of the Final Repository for Spent Nuclear Fuel
SKB has selected Forsmark as the site for the final repository for spent nuclear fuel. The site selection<br/>is the end result of an extensive siting process that began in the early 1990s. The strategy and<br/>plan for the work was based on experience from investigations and development work over a period<br/>of more than ten years prior to then.<br/>This document describes the siting work and SKB’s choice of site for the final repository.

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Yucca Mountain Site Characterization Project Office (YMPO) assigned Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC), the Technical and Management Support Services (T&MSS) contractor to the YMPO, the task of conducting an Early Site Suitability Evaluation (ESSE) of the Yucca Mountain site as a potential site for a high-level radioactive waste repository.

Revising America's Nuclear Waste Policy
With the first 100 days of the Obama Administration behind us, the Institute for 21st Century Energy presents this nuclear waste policy document that recounts the history of the country’s nuclear waste policy, discusses the mechanics of the issue, and offers specific recommendations to the Obama Administration and the U.S. Congress.

Understanding the Choices The Future Management of Canada’s Used Nuclear Fuel
Understanding the Choices is the NWMO’s second discussion document, an important milestone in a three-year study (2002-2005) designed to recommend to the Government of Canada an approach to managing Canada’s used nuclear fuel for the long term. The report begins with an examination of the values and priorities of Canadians, and how the NWMO has used this understanding to build a framework to assess and compare management approaches.
