(a) Nominal values, assuming uniform distribution <strong>of</strong> waste radionuclides among the canisters.<br />

(b) Estimated data for the year 1990. Treated waste volumes (assuming a waste form having a 25% loading <strong>of</strong> waste oxides)<br />

and radionuclide contents supplied by J. L. Crandall and W. R. Cornman <strong>of</strong> the High-Level <strong>Waste</strong> Lead Office at Savannah<br />

River. Canister requirements based on 0.6-m-diameter x 3-m-long canisters, 80% full <strong>of</strong> treated waste. Heat outputs<br />

based on the contained radionuclides.<br />

(c) Data from this Statement for the reprocessing <strong>of</strong> spent fuel containing 2.4 x 105 MTHM (Case 3) and radioactivity at<br />

6.5 years after reactor discharge. Canister requirement dictated by the heat output allowed by the disposal system.<br />
