Rcommended waste handling operations and equipment

Recommended waste handling operations and equipment were developed for the National Waste Terminal Storage geologic repositories. Detailed reviews of the conceptual designs for repositories in bedded and dome salt formations were performed to establish and characterize the waste flow paths through the repositories; identify the systems, subsystems, and components of the flow paths; and identify waste handling system similarities and differences. The results of this study are recommended operations and equipment for canistered and low-level waste handling systems. These results may be used as design bases and criteria for future repository design activities. Numerous advantages over existing designs have resulted from this study.
