Assessment of Disposal Options for DOE-Managed High-Level Radioactive Waste and Spent Nuclear Fuel
The Assessment of Disposal Options for DOE-Managed High-Level Radioactive Waste and Spent Nuclear Fuel
report assesses the technical options for the safe and permanent
disposal of high-level radioactive waste (HLW) and spent nuclear fuel
(SNF) managed by the Department of Energy. Specifically, it considers
whether DOE-managed HLW and SNF should be disposed of with commercial
SNF and HLW in one geologic repository or whether there are advantages
to developing separate geologic disposal pathways for some DOE-managed
HLW and SNF. The report recommends that the Department begin
implementation of a phased, adaptive, and consent-based strategy with
development of a separate mined repository for some DOE-managed HLW and
cooler DOE-managed SNF.
