(d) A $10/kg HM cost for TRU waste storage is common to all options. The remaining cost is for HLW storage.<br />

(e) HLW storage costs for those options may differ from those for the mined geologic option because <strong>of</strong> different<br />

configurations. No difference is assumed here.<br />

(f) Based on additional partitioning facility costs.<br />
