A.2 RADIOACTIVE INVENTORY TABLES<br />

A.30<br />

The radioactivity inventory tables (A.2.la through A.2.9b) differ from similar tables<br />

in Chapter 7 by showing the inventory <strong>of</strong> each major radionuclide as a function <strong>of</strong> time.<br />

These tables appear in sets <strong>of</strong> two tables; one table shows the inventory <strong>of</strong> fission and<br />

activation products and the other table shows the inventory <strong>of</strong> actinides. Tables are pro-<br />

vided only for the different growth cases in the once-through cycle since repository opening<br />

dates have no effect on the inventory after the year 2070. Two tables are shown for the<br />

Reprocessing Case 3. This case has two different reprocessing startup dates and inventories<br />

are a function <strong>of</strong> reprocessing startup time, since that controls the amount <strong>of</strong> fuel that is<br />

recycled, which affects the quantities <strong>of</strong> plutonium and other actinides in the wastes.
