Risks in Remediation of Nuclear Waste

Construct lined enclosures for storing nuclear waste on the Hanford Reservation, and transfer the spent nuclear fuel from interim storage facilities at the Hanford Site to the new enclosures for permanent storage that also will be located on the Hanford Reservation

Transport the spent nuclear fuel from the interim storage facilities at the Hanford Site to a permanent deep-underground storage site located in the State of Nevada

This proposal provides for the assessment of the risks associated with each of the alternative approaches to the permanent remediation problem. The proposal also provides for making comparisons of the risks associated with the alternative approaches to permanent remediation to facilitate the decision process for selecting one of the alternatives for implementation of the permanent remediation program.

The spent nuclear fuels stored at the Hanford Site became an issue when many of the 177 storage tanks began leaking. This problem led to the creation of the Spent Nuclear Fuel Project (SNFP). The purpose of the SNFP is

actor and statements of the expected mode measures will vary in form in relation to the risk group of which the risk factor is a part. Maximum levels of tolerance for risk factors and expected mode measures of chemicals or elements identified as risk factors will be stated as follows for the several risk groups proposed for assessment: Maximum levels of tolerance for risk factors associated with human health and animal health will be stated as the maximum level of exposure of a chemical or element that can be tolerated by a human being or by an animal without suffering harm wherein complete recovery cannot be expected within 24 hours in the absence of medical treatment Mode levels of the release for risk factors associated with human health and animal health will be stated as the expected level of release of a chemical or element should a release occur as determined by a Monte Carlo analysis involving 100,000 iterations Maximum levels of tolerance for risk factors associated with ecological integrity will be stated as the maximum level of exposure of a chemical or element that can be tolerated by the physical environment without suffering harm wherein complete restoration cannot be expected to occur within one-year Model levels o
