(1976)<br />

The December 1978 Conceptual Design Report is an updated estimate <strong>of</strong> the venture guid-<br />

ance appraisal on which the Savannah River report was based, and includes additional costs<br />

for independent service facilities. The estimates in the present Statement are based on<br />

the DOE/ET-0028 report.<br />

The table below presents a summary comparison <strong>of</strong> costs in DOE-3547 and DOE/ET-0028.<br />

Draft Appendix N<br />

Issue<br />

One commenter stated that bases for cost estimates for transportation <strong>of</strong> spent fuel<br />

and waste should be referenced in the final document. (113-EPA)<br />

Response<br />

DOE agrees. Section 3.2.8.4 <strong>of</strong> the final Statement summarizes the cost methodology<br />

for transportation and notes that additional detail can be found in DOE/ET-0028, Volume 4.<br />

The predisposal cost section in the final Statement (Section 4.9) also notes that addi-<br />

tional detail on predisposal facility costs can be found in DOE/ET-0028, Volumes 2, 3 and 4.
