Special Analysis for the Disposal of the Idaho National Laboratory Regulated Asbestos Waste Stream at the Area 5 Radioactive Waste Management Site, Nevada National Security Site, Nye County, Nevada

This special analysis (SA) evaluates whether the Idaho National Laboratory (INL) Regulated Asbestos waste stream is suitable for disposal by shallow land burial at the Area 5 Radioactive Waste Management Site on the Nevada National Security Site (NNSS). The INL Regulated Asbestos waste stream consists of asbestos and asbestos-contaminated debris. The INL Regulated Asbestos waste stream requires an SA to resolve whether it is acceptable to dispose of tritium ( 3 H) at activity concentrations exceeding the NNSS Waste Acceptance Criteria Action Level.

Special Analysis for the Disposal of the Idaho National Laboratory Unirradiated Light Water Breeder Reactor UO 2 /ThO 2 and UO 2 /ZrO 2 Rods and Pellets Waste Stream at the Area 5 Radioactive Waste Management Site, Nevada National Security Site, Nye County, Nevada

This special analysis (SA) evaluates whether the Idaho National Laboratory (INL) Unirradiated Light Water Breeder Reactor (LWBR) UO 2 /ThO 2 and UO 2 /ZrO 2 Rods and Pellets waste stream is suitable for disposal by shallow land burial at the Area 5 Radioactive Waste Management Site on the Nevada National Security Site (NNSS). The INL Unirradiated LWBR Rods and Pellets waste stream consists of unirradiated uranium-233 ( 233 U) fuel rods. The INL Unirradiated LWBR Rods and Pellets waste stream requires an SA to resolve whether it is acceptable to dispose of 233 U, 232 U, 234 U, thorium-229 ( 229 Th), and 230 Th at activity concentrations exceeding their NNSS Waste Acceptance Criteria Action Levels.

Special Analysis for the Disposal of the Idaho National Laboratory Contact Handled Sealed Sources Waste Stream at the Area 5 Radioactive Waste Management Site, Nevada National Security Site, Nye County, Nevada

This special analysis (SA) evaluates whether the Idaho National Laboratory (INL) Contact Handled Sealed Sources waste stream is suitable for disposal by shallow land burial at the Area 5 Radioactive Waste Management Site (RWMS) on the Nevada National Security Site (NNSS). The INL Contact Handled Sealed Sources waste stream consists of sealed radioactive sources. The INL Contact Handled Sealed Sources waste stream requires an SA to determine whether the Area 5 RWMS can accept radium-226 ( 226 Ra), tritium ( 3 H), and europium-152 ( 152 Eu) at activity concentrations exceeding the NNSS Waste Acceptance Criteria Action Levels and whether to accept four long-lived radionuclides (curium-247 [ 247 Cm], 250 Cm, californium-249 [ 249 Cf], 251 Cf) without action levels.

Siting study for a consolidated waste capability at Los Alamos National Laboratory

Decision analysis was used to rank alternative sites for a new Consolidated Waste Capability (CWC) to replace current hazardous solid waste operations (hazardous/chemical, mixed lowlevel, transuranic, and low-level waste) at Los Alamos National Laboratory's TA-54 Area G. An original list of 21 site alternatives was pre-screened to ten sites that were assessed using the analytical hierarchy process with five top-level criteria and fifteen sub-criteria. Three passes of the analysis were required to assess different site scenarios: 1) a fully consolidated CWC with both transfer/storage and LL W disposal in one location (45 acre minimum), 2) CWC transfer/storage only (12 acre minimum), and 3) LLW disposal only (33 acre minimum). The top site choice for all three options is TA-63/52/46; the second choice is TA-18/36. TA-54 East, Zone 4 also deserves consideration as a LLW disposal site.
