a site specific situation. As noted throughout this Section, DOE has attempted to improve<br />

the presentation <strong>of</strong> socioeconomic impacts and institutional issues relating to waste<br />

management.<br />

Draft p. 1.17<br />

Issue<br />

One commenter requested that more detailed information should be provided as to how<br />

the energy needs vary across fuel cycles and geologic media. (34)<br />

Response<br />

This information is presented in Chapter 7.0 and in the support document DOE/ET-0029<br />

(Chapter 2.0).<br />

Draft p. 3.1.116<br />

Issue<br />

Table 3.1.11 purports to give estimates <strong>of</strong> resources needed for construction <strong>of</strong> oper-<br />

ation <strong>of</strong> waste repositories in various geologic formation for different fuel cycle opt-<br />

ions. It also compares effluents for the various options. However, no basis for any <strong>of</strong><br />

the numbers listed is given. The basis for such estimates should be included. (208-NRC)<br />

Response<br />

The sources <strong>of</strong> the information in draft Table 3.1.11 are DOE/ET-0028 and DOE/ET-0029.<br />

Draft p. 3.1.116<br />

Issue<br />

One commenter requested that the values in Table 3.1.11 be denormalized. What is the<br />

daily electrical use, and what percentage <strong>of</strong> the model site is this? (43)<br />

Response<br />

Denormalized values can be found in DOE/ET-0029. The tabulations referred to have<br />

been put in terms <strong>of</strong> a model facility in the final Statement (see Sections 4.7, 5.4,<br />

and 5.8)
