Melt-dilute treatment technology for aluminum-based spent nuclear fuel (Al-SNF) is being developed at Savannah River Site (SRS) for ultimate disposal of these fuels in the Monitored Geologic Repository (MGR). This alternative for disposition has been selected as the preferred alternative and the U.S. DOE has issued a Record of Decision following the Environmental Impact Statement process. The proposed codisposal repository waste package will be designed to codispose a centrally positioned canister containing the melt-dilute SNF form surrounded by several borosilicate glass logs of defense high-level waste (DHLW). Figure ES.1 illustrates the envisioned emplacement of several waste packages in the geologic repository.
