(a) Subsystems costs include the cost <strong>of</strong> waste treatment, packaging, all transportation,<br />

interim storage and final disposal. Research and development costs and the discount<br />

rate effect <strong>of</strong> timing <strong>of</strong> the costs are not included in the figures shown here, but are<br />

included in the system power cost estimates in Chapter 7.<br />

(b) Costs may be expressed in $/GWe-yr by multiplying by 38,000 kg HM/GWe-yr.<br />

(c) Includes $52/kg HM for geologic disposal.<br />

(d) Includes $47/kg HM for geologic disposal.<br />
