A description of a radwaste terminal storage facility is presented. Unreprocessed spent fuel assemblies and low-level transuranic wastes will be received, processed, and emplaced in terminal storage inside a salt dome in a facility similar to this. A description of the functions, performance, design requirements, physical characteristics, and operation of the facility are reported in part of this volume. Part 2 describes the radwaste handling facility and building requirements; part 3 describes the underground systems; operational and support systems are described in part 4. The utility and service systems (electricity, steam, water, fire protection, compressed air, communications, equipment fueling, and wastewater management) are described in part 5. Surface facilities include the waste handling building, site support facilities, utilities and support facilities, transportation facilities, and holding ponds. These are described in part 6.
