Description

The performance of the Nevada Test Site Greater Confinement Disposal (GCD) site was assessed against the Environmental Protection Agency's requirements for disposal of high-level waste, spent fuel and transuranic waste, 40 CFR Part 191. No new data were collected for this assessment. This preliminary assessment indicates that the GCD concept is a viable method of disposing of transuranic wastes. The results are being used to direct future site characterization activities
