In the absence of a federal geologic repository or consolidated, interim storage in the United States, commercial spent fuel will remain stranded at some 75 sites across the country. Currently, these include 18 “orphaned sites” where spent fuel has been left at decommissioned reactor sites.

Publication Date

With the termination of the Yucca Mountain project, which was proposed to be our nation’s first repository for the disposal of military and civilian spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste, the future of nuclear waste management and disposal in this country became increasingly uncertain. Interim storage has been advocated by many as a temporary solution while a permanent solution is studied for potentially several more decades to come.

Environmental Risk Characterization Work Plan Yankee Nuclear Power Station Rowe, Massachusetts

Author(s)
Gradient Corporation
Publication Date
This document presents a work plan for performing an environmental risk assessment to support the environmental site closure underway at the Yankee Nuclear Power Station (YNPS). A work plan for the human health risk assessment was submitted as a separate document (Gradient, 2006). The YNPS is located in the town of Rowe, situated in northwestern Massachusetts along the Deerfield River adjacent to Sherman Dam (Figure 1-1).

Monitored Retrievable Storage Facility Conceptual Design Report

Monitored Retrievable Storage Facility Conceptual Design Report

Author(s)
TRW Environmental Safety Systems, Inc.
Publication Date
This conceptual design report presents results of the monitored retrievable storage facility (MRS) conceptual design effort. Six design concepts were investigated for handling and storing spent nuclear fuel assemblies at the MRS and are presented in this report. All six of these design concepts satisfy program requirements and provide safe and efficient methods to handle and store spent nuclear fuel. This conceptual design is an important step towards furthering the civilian radioactive waste management system program.
