Title: Characteristics of spent fuel, high-level waste, and other radioactive wastes which may require long-term isolation

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/7151365· OSTI ID:7151365

The purpose of this report, and the information contained in the associated computerized data bases, is to establish the DOE/OCRWM reference characteristics of the radioactive waste materials that may be accepted by DOE for emplacement in the mined geologic disposal system as developed under the Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982. This report provides relevant technical data for use by DOE and its supporting contractors and is not intended to be a policy document. This document is backed up by five PC-compatible data bases, written in a user-oriented, menu-driven format, which were developed for this purpose.
