Technology for Commercial Radioactive Waste Management. Volume 1.

Abstract

This report was prepared in support of the 'Environmental Impact Statement on Management of Commercially Generated Radioactive Wastes', DOE/EIS-0046-D. The scope of this report is limited to technology for management of post-fission wastes produced in the commercial nuclear power light-water reactor (LWR) fuel cycle. Management of spent fuel (as a waste), high-level and other transuranic (TRU) wastes, and gaseous wastes are characterized. Non-transuranic wastes are described but management of these wastes, except for gaseous wastes, is excluded from the scope of this report.
