Draft Section 3.7 Issue 379 ALTERNATIVE DISPOSAL CONCEPTS This concept would provide a high degree of isolation (our terminology - make man's intrusion unlikely). However, the litany of unresolved technical and political problems make it clear this concept cannot possibly be considered for an early repository. Further- more its cost would likely rule it out for even much later consideration. (154) If the 1% heat load criterion is reasonable (draft p. 3.7.8) then it should be stated and the high area (7%) demand would rule out the Antarctic approach. This report requires better perspective to be useful. A clear statement should be made to rule out this alternative. (124) The 10-30 years of extra lead time required for ice sheet disposal, as compared to other disposal options, will delay implementation of a publicly acceptable nuclear waste management system...(Section 3.7.5.4) should be highlighted, because it makes this option extremely unattractive to comparison to others whose technology is more developed. (124) Response Section 6.2 of the final Statement presents a comparison of the attributes of alternative concepts and the mined repository. This comparison employs the use of standards for judgment to evaluate the concepts for the purpose of identifying preferred concepts. In general, concepts that have significant technical and environmental performance uncertainties are lower in preference than the better defined concepts. The ice sheet concept is, therefore, one of the lesser preferred concepts. Draft Section 3.7 Issue The section treats rather severe transportation problems in a rather causal manner and without appraisal of non-radiological hazards. A more thorough and complete treatment of transportation, including accident and non-radiological hazards, should be provided. (58) Under Section 3.7.1.5, the risks, hazards, and impacts of transporting HLW over ice in polar climates should be presented. (208-NRC) The quality of the reasoning contained in the DEIS might be called into question by the apparently serious consideration of rather bizarre and untested methods of transport and emplacement of the waste in the Antarctic ice-sheet. The horrendous logistics problems of the Antarctic repository are discussed at length with no apparent consideration of the need for recognition and quantification of non-radiological hazards. (58)
Response 380 ALTERNATIVE DISPOSAL CONCEPTS It is acknowledged that the safe transportation of wastes to and over the Antarctic ice would pose formidable engineering design and operations problems. It is believed, however, that the uncertainties of the ice emplacement medium itself and the Antarctic environment should receive greater attention for this Statement. There is no intent to minimize the other important issues such as those presented by the commenters. See Section 6.2 of the final Statement for comparative discussion of transportation characteristics for the alternatives and the mined repository. In addition, Section 4.5 of the Predisposal Systems Chapter discusses transportation alternatives (including sea transport) in a more detailed and thorough manner than in the draft Statement. Quantitative and qualitative assessment of impacts were presented when- ever possible using the most recent data available. Draft p. 3.7.3 Issue It is not clear why the example heat criterion is a factor of 20,000 less than that used for salt. (154) Response The criterion referred to was presented only for the purpose of providing a frame of reference regarding how heat load criteria might affect the land area required for disposal. The first sentence of the referenced paragraph of the draft Statement stated that additional study would be required to determine the heat load criteria for waste emplacement in the ice sheets. Draft p. 3.7.3 Issue It is proposed that aircraft be utilized to ferry waste canisters to emplacement sites. This is judged to be a poor choice in that risks of severe air transportation accidents are much higher than for ground transportation modes. (124) Response Section 6.1.5.2 of the final Statement notes that over-ice transport of casks via land vehicles is the preferred alternative (as opposed to aircraft).
