Prototype license application safety analysis report: Earth-mounded concrete bunker: Volume 1, Safety analysis report
The Low-Level Radioactive Waste Policy Amendment Act of 1985 (Ref. 1) requires the US Department of Energy (DOE) to provide technical assistance to the compact regions, host states and nonmember states as determined by the Secretary of Energy. Technical assistance has been defined to include alternative technologies for low-level radioactive waste (LLRW) disposal. Alternative technologies refer to concepts for the disposal of LLRW other than the traditional shallow land burial (SLB) type. Because of wide public interest in alternative technologies, we performed a study of the Earth Mounded Concrete Bunker (EMCB) concept for a LLRW disposal facility. The EMCB disposal concept is of great public interest because it represents an engineered alternative LLRW disposal method to SLB currently in use. This engineered disposal method is being practiced at Centre de la Manche, France, and is the chosen technology for the next planned disposal facility in France. The EMCB technology was developed in response to the French experience with traditional SLB. 86 refs., 21 figs., 69 tabs.
