Technical requirements for qualification of A potential nuclear waste repository site in basalt
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:5267279
A site identification study has been conducted to identify and categorize a number of candidate sites that appear to be suitable for the location of a repository for radioactive waste on the Hanford Site. Three objectives were defined as a basis for the selection of guidelines for screening. These were: (1) maximize public health and safety; (2) minimize adverse environmental and socioeconomic impact; and (3) minimize system costs. For each objective, appropriate considerations were identified; a guideline for which would be the delineation of progressively smaller siting areas and sites that may be suitable for locating a repository. This document is designed to be used as the reference framework for guiding the qualification of identified sites in lieu of formal NRC-issued criteria. As such, it will serve as a framework for guiding our research and development effort. A site will be considered qualified when, having been characterized in detail, it is demonstrated to meet these requirements and thus can be offered for formal licensing by the NRC.
