Besides the plants and processes another major activity in the fuel cycle would be<br />

transportation links for fresh fuel movement, spent fuel movement, powder movement between<br />

the FRP and FFP, and waste movement from the FRP-FFP complex to the repository and disposal<br />

area. Table 6.1.25 presents data resulting from accident analyses <strong>of</strong> the six transportation<br />

steps considered for the two fuel cycles.<br />

Nonradiological Impacts. Nonradiological impacts would result from two factors that are<br />

unique to the transmutation alternative. First, the partitioning process would require addi-<br />

tional facilities at the reprocessing plant and at the MOX fuel fabrication facility.<br />

Second, the nature <strong>of</strong> the wastes that would be generated by transmutation dictates increased<br />

transportation activities.<br />
