Preclosure radiological calculations to support salt site evaluations. Revision 1

The purpose of this report is to provide data, methods, and results of preclosure radiological calculations to support salt site evaluations on the basis of the US Department of Energy (DOE) final siting guidelines (10 CFR Part 960). The data and methods portion is of sufficient detail to enable a reader to derive the values used and reported here. The results are presented for easy comparison with pertinent radiological regulations. The regulations applicable to this discussion are found in 10 CFR Part 60, which defers to 10 CFR Part 20, and in 40 CFR Part 191. The regulations cover both offsite radionuclide concentrations and doses. The comparisons required by the DOE guidelines include 10 CFR Part 20 concentrations and 40 CFR Part 191 doses. To lend further insight into the radiological impacts of the presence of a high-level nuclear waste repository at a specific location, analyses of population doses and accident doses have been included. All concentrations and doses are found to be well below applicable standards
