Low-level radioactive waste site selection and site characterization handbooks

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6574612

Two resource documents have been developed to provide technical assistance to states and compact regions in selecting and characterizing sites for disposal of low-level radioactive wastes (LLW). The Site Selection Handbook provides basic information on the components of a comprehensive site selection program. It also serves as the basis for a two-day workshop on site selection. The Site Characterization Handbook is a reference document for developing and managing a comprehensive site characterization program which will support a license application for a LLW disposal facility.
