Abstract |
The purpose of this Report is to assess whether U.S. Department of Energy (DOE or theDepartment) disposal facilities have sufficient volumetric and radiological capacity toaccommodate the low-level waste (LLW) and mixed low-level waste (MLLW) that theDepartment expects to dispose at these facilities. This Report is the third capacity assessmentprepared by DOE and provides an update of the previous revision, The Current and PlannedLow-Level Waste Disposal Capacity Report, Revision 1, issued on September 18, 1998.1 TheDepartment expects information on disposal facility characteristics and projected waste volumesand radiological content will change over time, and DOE plans to prepare future updates of thisreport as appropriate. |
