Through September 30, 1992, the Nuclear Waste Fund had received $5.8 billion in fee payments, earned $1.5 billion in interest, and disbursed $3.4 billion. The book value of investments...

Financing the Canadian Nuclear Fuel Waste Disposal Concept
This paper describes an approach to the financial analysis of the Canadian concept for the disposal of high-level nuclear fuel waste. The work was conducted on behalf of Environment Canada...

Factors Affecting Performance of Vitrified Wasteforms
The acceptability and usefulness of mathematical models for predicting the performance of vitrified wasteforms can be enhanced by their validation using laboratory data generated under...

A Homogeneous Equilibrium Model for Analysis of Spent Fuel Shipping Containers
Transportation of nuclear spent fuel is inevitable over the coming years. However, in order to ensure the safety of such transport, computational models must be established, which are...

Robust-Multibarrier Waste Package Thermal Evaluation
One of the key issues to be addressed in developing a successful permanent radioactive waste storage concept is the thermal effect due to the spent nuclear fuel (SNF). The thermal output...

Managing Nuclear Waste: Social and Economic Impacts
Recent research has focused on perceptions of risk as a dominant source of economic impacts due to siting a high level radioactive waste facility. This article addresses the social and...

Attitudes of the Knowledgeable Toward the Transportation of Spent Fuel
The purpose of the paper is to discuss the recent data analysis of a mail-in survey which investigated the attitudes of people having some knowledge of the nuclear industry. The survey...

The Formation and Economic Impact of Perceptions of Risk Surrounding Nuclear Facilities
This paper summarizes the results of an investigation of factors determining the nature of risk perceptions associated with eleven nuclear facilities and their impact on local economic...

A DAD Example: The Story of the Fourth Nuclear Power Plant in Taiwan
Over the past decade, nuclear power play an important role in help develop Taiwan's internationally recognized economy. The effort for putting the new nuclear power plant onto the grid...

Application of the Global Positioning System to Locating Remote Sites
The location of Near Field (NF) sampling stations, used for the radiological monitoring program portion of the site characterization phase of the Yucca Mountain Project, were determined...

IHLW Conference Paper?Yucca Mountain Site Characterization Project Environmental Protection Program
To ensure that characterization of the Yucca Mountain site is conducted in an environmentally safe and sound manner, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has developed and implemented a...

Project on Contaminations-Radiation-Ecosystems-Health in Russia
We would like to discuss with you a project that we are currently developing, doing research upon and completing. In our report we represent the the following: - a few experimental data...

Ecological Risk Assessment of Proposed Deep Geologic Disposal of High-Level Nuclear Waste in Canada
Using population dynamic models of moose and brook trout, and assuming topographic, hydrographic and other habitat features typical of the Canadian Shield in Ontario, we have estimated...

HWVP Compliance with the Hanford Site Solid Waste Acceptance Criteria
This report describes the Hanford Waste Vitrification project (HWVP), which will be located at the Haford Site. The Hanford Site encompasses a 560-mi²...

Durability Testing of the High-Capacity GA-4/GA-9 Trailer
General Atomics (GA) is under contract to the US Department of Energy (DOE), Idaho Field Office, to develop two legal-weight truck from-reactor spent-fuel shipping casks with trailers....

Tolerance Requirements for Remote Handling at the Hanford Vitrification Project
A new and innovative approach to installation of the many remote nozzles and electrical connectors that must be installed to demanding tolerances has been developed by the architect/engineer...

Yucca Mountain Site Characterization Project Exploratory Studies Facilities Construction Status
This paper discusses the progress to date on the construction planning and development of the Yucca Mountain Site Characterization Project (YMP) Exploratory Studies Facilities (ESF). The...

Project Control?The Next Generation
The Yucca Mountain Site Characterization Project (YMP) is the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) second largest Major System Acquisition Project. We have developed an integrated planning...
