Alternatives for managing wastes from the LWR cycle. [Back end of fuel cycle]
Abstract
Five statements can be made concerning information contained in the alternatives document: (1) There are alternative technologies for each step in the management of radioactive wastes from the back end of the LWR fuel cycle. (2) For each waste management step there are technologies that are either commercialized today or available for commercial use. (3) There are backup technologies under development. (4) There is a technical base for using geologic isolation as the method for final disposition of the wastes. (5) The technical base for geologic isolation of the wastes can be put into practice with an aggressive, comprehensive program on provisional geologic storage. 20 fig. (DLC)
