- W2187208452 abstract "The Nevada Test Site (NTS) has been identified in recent, national U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) reports as playing a key role in the future disposal of low-level radioactive waste (LLW) originating from waste management, site remediation, and other programs of the DOE Complex. The potential volumes and characteristics of these wastes -- as well as their proposed shipment to the NTS -- are of particular interest and concern to stakeholders in Nevada and in potential, shipment-corridor states. As part of the independent, Nevada Risk Assessment/Management Program (NRAMP), human health risk assessments are being developed with regard to NTS disposal areas and the proposed shipments of LLW to the NTS. In support of this work, good estimations of the volumes and characteristics of the wastes, and of the anticipated number of shipments to the NTS from generator sites, are needed. This paper describes historic disposal statistics and current estimations of projected shipments of LLW to the NTS from identified generator sites, including estimated shipment volumes, the characteristics of key, projected waste streams, and current uncertainties that impact the reliability of the data. HISTORIC PERSPECTIVE ON DISPOSAL OF LLW AT THE NTS The Nevada Test Site (NTS) is the location of two Radioactive Waste Management Sites (RWMSs). The Area 3 RWMS encompasses an area of approximately 128 acres of land located in south central Yucca Flat, and utilizes subsidence craters that resulted from historic underground nuclear tests. Area 3 is currently used for the disposal of containerized bulk and packaged low-level waste from on-site and off-site DOE generators. The Area 5 RWMS is located approximately 15 miles north of the Area 3 RWMS on a dedicated 732 acre site on Frenchman Flat. Approximately 92 acres are currently being used for storage and disposal. The disposal facility currently consists of 21 landfill cells (pits and trenches) and 13 Greater Confinement Disposal (GCD) boreholes. Historically, more than 3 million cubic meters of DOE LLW, with a total radioactivity exceeding 12.5 million curies, was disposed by shallow land disposal at DOE sites during the period 1943 1996. Six DOE sites (Hanford, Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory, Los Alamos National Laboratory, NTS, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and the Savannah River Site) accepted and disposed of more than 80 % of this total volume. The volumes disposed by these six sites accounted for more than 99 % of the total cumulative radioactivity of the LLW disposed, dominated by Hanford (38 %) and the NTS (35 %). Historically, all the major DOE disposal sites have experienced significant fluctuations in the annual volumes and radioactivity of LLW accepted for disposal. However, from 1943 through 1996, all of these sites have experienced steady increases in both the accumulated volumes and" @default.
