This paper examines the difference in transportation costs under alternative scenarios pertaining to a nuclear waste management system with and without a monitored retrievable storage (MRS) facility, to include the effect of various MRS packaging functions and locations. The analysis is limited to the impacts of activities related directly to the hauling of high-level radioactive waste (HLW), including the cask capital and maintenance costs of the transportation cask system. Transportation costs are discussed.
