NNWSI repository worker radiation exposure. Volume I. Spent fuel and high-level waste operations in a geologic repository in tuff
The Nevada Nuclear Waste Storage Investigations project has as one of its principal objectives the conceptual design of the buildings and facilities that will be required for a commercially generated radioactive waste repository. This report has been prepared for use by the repository designers in the conceptual design of the high-level (Volume I) and transuranic (Volume II) waste-handling facilities and equipment. This report contains a listing of repository operations tasks and the anticipated worker radiation exposure. All annual exposures are below the 5 rem permissible dose equivalent limit with seven worker positions exceeding the design objective of 1 rem. These worker exposures will be reduced by performing tasks remotely.
