OSTI ID:6632922

A newly formed NAS/NRC Panel reviews the Swedish KBS-3 Plan for the final storage of spent nuclear fuel, considers new supporting information developed by KBS since it published its 1978 KBS-2 Plan, and concludes that there is reasonable assurance that a waste repository built according to the plan will not permit an unacceptable rate of radionuclide escape. Principal review emphasis is placed upon geological repository features of the storage system--particularly on overall canister and repository design and on the calculations and supporting data related to waste form dissolution and to radio nuclide migration from the point of emplacement through the surrounding geosphere.
