DOSE CALCULATIONS<br />

concerns transportation <strong>of</strong> spent fuel, it would be better to examine the WASH-1238 analysis<br />

<strong>of</strong> exposures caused by transport <strong>of</strong> spent fuel which can be found on pages 40-42. (208-NRC)<br />

Response<br />

The intent is to illustrate that the approach used was conservative and to illustrate<br />

the magnitude <strong>of</strong> doses incurred.<br />

Draft p. N.9<br />

Issue<br />

Last paragraph: The accident postulated here results in 37 rem to the total body.<br />

Table 3.1.224, shows the results <strong>of</strong> the worst-design basis accident, which for SHLW--severe<br />

impact and fire is 7 rem. (208-NRC)<br />

Response<br />

This is a typographical error in draft Table 3.1.88. The dose should be 37. See<br />

Table 7.1.1-5 in DOE/ET-0029.<br />

Draft pp. N.13, 16, 21<br />

Issue<br />

On pages N.13, N.16 and N.21, reference is made to page N.4 and a discussion on dose<br />

to truckers. The reference on page N.13 indicated the discussion on page N.4 explains the<br />

overestimate <strong>of</strong> the dose and the reference on page N.16 indicates the dose discussed on<br />

page N.4 are based on experience. These references are misleading since the discussion on<br />

page N.4 satisfies neither <strong>of</strong> these descriptions. Is the reference intended to apply to<br />

WASH-1238 which is the basis for the truckers dose given on page N.4? (208-NRC)<br />

Response<br />

Yes. See the response to comment above referring to p. N.4.<br />

Draft p. N.13<br />

Issue<br />

"Doses to the maximum individual...and population dose are comparable." This statement<br />

does not make sense, since there is a 10,000 times difference between.the maximum individual<br />

dose and population dose in Table N.12. This should be clarified in the final EIS.<br />
