NUCLEAR WASTE FUND

OVERVIEW

NUCLEAR WASTE FUND

The success of the Office of Civilian Radioactive Waste Management (OCRWM) Program is critical for the United States to manage and permanentlydispose of spent nuclear fuel and high-level nuclear waste and to reestablish confidence in the nuclear energy option. The program must conformto all applicable environmental and safety standards and, in fact, implement national policy on the safe management and disposal of spent nuclearfuel and high-level radioactive waste. Projections for electric power production reflect that, absent any new orders, nuclear-generatedelectricity will cease to be a contributor by the year 2040. The financial community and the nuclear utility ndustry view successfulimplementation of this program as the cornerstone of a viable, continuing United States nuclear energy option. For these reasons, it isessential that the Administration and the Congress demonstrate Federal resolve to move forward aggressively with the Civilian Radioactive WasteManagement Program.

The Nuclear Waste Policy Act of 1982 (NWPA), as amended, authorizes the Department of Energy (DOE) to site, construct, and operate a geologicrepository for the disposal of spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste; to site, construct, and operate one Monitored RetrievableStorage (MRS) facility; and to provide for the safe transportation of spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste in casks certified bythe Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and In accordance with regulations promulgated by the U.S. Department of Transportation. The NWPA asamended, directs the DOE to characterize the Yucca Mountain candidate site in Nevada to assess whether or not it is suitable for a geologicrepository. To ensure the safe management and disposal of waste, the program must execute all activities related to radiological safety and wasteisolation in accordance with an NRC-accepted quality assurance program.

OCRWM ts FY 1993 Congressional budget request seeks to achieve balance among the major Program components -- the Yucca Mountain SiteCharacterization Project and the MRS Project, along with the supporting transportation system. However, while building on the momentum generatedby the initiation, In July 1991, of new surface-based testing at Yucca Mountain, the request recognizes that the Program continues to facepotential political obstacles with respect to the scientific investigations at that site, and that the Nuclear Waste Negotiator has not yetidentified a volunteer host for an MRS facility.

GEOLOGIC REPOSITORY: A critical prerequisite to new scientific investigations at Yucca Mountain is receipt of the necessary eironmentalpermits from the State of Nevada. Substantial progress has been made in this regard since the FY 1992 Congressional budget submisssion. On June12, 1991 and July 17, 1991, respectively, the State of Nevada issued two envirorwental permits -- an air quality permit and an undergroundinjection permit. Following receipt of these two permits from the State of Nevada, OCRWM was able to resume surface-disturbing work at YuccaMountain for the first time since 1986. Further, on September 13, 1991, the State of Nevada issued a one-year temporary water appropriationpermit for Well H-1. Under this permit, OCRWM is able to obtain water although it is from a well which is 45 miles from the Yucca Mountainsite. Unless the State fails to renew the temporary water permit, OCRWM now has in hand all the environmental permits necessary to carry out allplanned work In FY 1992 and FY 1993 at the site.

The State Engineer has recently completed hearings regarding the issuance of a permanent water permit, and a decision Is expected by the end ofJanuary 1992. As site characterization progresses, OCRWM will need additional permits. Therefore, to preclude further delays by Nevada in thepermitting process, or prolonged legal battles with the State over future permit applications, the Administration included a legislativeinitiative as part of the proposed National Energy Strategy Act (S.570 and H.R. 1301), which would remand permitting authority from the State ofNevada to the Federal Government and waive any requirements for permits under State, local, or tribal law. In May 1991, Senators Johnston andWallop introduced S. 1138, a free-standing bill, which is virtually identical to Sections 511 & 512 of S.570 and H.R. 1301. This bill wasreported out of committee on June 12, 1991, by a vote of 14 to 5. The House Energy and Commerce Committee is also considering legislation similarto S. 1138 as part of an omnibus energy bill.

Overview - NUCLEAR WASTE FUND (Cont'd)

MONITORED RETRIEVABLE STORAGE: This activity supports the siting, design, construction, Licensing through the NRC, and operation of a facilityto perform spent fuel receipt, handling, and storage, as necessary, prior to permanent emplacement in a geologic repository. The Office of theNuclear Waste Negotiator is making significant progress in seeking a volunteer host for an MRS facility. The Department fully supports itseffort and the continuation of this process. In support of the Nuclear Waste Negotiator, OCRUH recently awarded two phase-I MRS feasibilityassessment grants, one to the Mescalero Apache Indian Tribe, and the other to Grant County, North Dakota. Since then, 5 additional phase-I grantapplications have been received, and others are expected by the end of the second quarter, FY 1992. These awards may be followed by phase-lIgrant applications in FY 1992. The phase-II grants will be used by potential hosts to support negotiations with the Nuclear Waste Negotiator,possibly Leading to a siting agreement for Congressional approval. If the current statutory linkages between the 4RS and repository schedulesare modified, the MRS facility will provide the Federal nucLear waste management system with the capability for earlier acceptance of spentnuclear fuel than would be possible at a repository.

TRANSPORTATION: The purpose of this activity is to ensure that a safe, environmentally acceptable, and cost-effective transportation system is inplace to transport spent fuel to a waste management facility; provide for the design, development, certification, and testing of necessarytransportation equipment and services; identify and resolve institutional issues; and provide for the operational aspects of the shipment ofspent fuel and high-level wastes to storage and/or final disposal facilities.

SYSTEMS and COMPLIANCE: This activity encompasses the former Systems Integration activity, with the addition of regulatory complianceactivities. It serves to ensure that waste management components are integrated into a single waste management system.

PROGRAM MANAGEMENT and TECHNICAL SUPPORT: This activity includes Federal salaries, benefits, travel, and administrative and technical supportfor the overall civilian radioactive waste management program.

In carrying out all of OCRWM's activities, emphasis is being placed on the implementation of a comprehensive quality assurance program. Thequality assurance program will provide OCRUM the assurances that activities are conducted in a manner to appropriately address those issuesrelative to public health and safety and the protection of the environment, and meet NRC licensing requirements.

KEY ACTIVITY SUMMARY

NUCLEAR WASTE FUND

1. Preface: First Repository

With passage of the Nuclear Waste Policy Amendents Act (PAA) in December 1987, the tuff candidate repository site at Yucca Mountain, Nevada,was selected for detailed nvestigation to determine site suitability.

A critical prerequisite to new scientific investigations at the Yucca Mountain candidate site is receipt of the necessary environmental permitsfrom the State of Nevada. n June 12. 1991 and July 17. 1991. respectively, the State of Nevada issued two of the three pending permits -- an airquality permit and an underground Injection control permit. with these permits in hand, OCRWM began limited new surface-based testing activitiesat the candidate site on July 8, 1991. using water trucked in from California for dust suppression. Subsequently, on September 13, 1991, theState issued a temporary (one-year) water appropriation permit. The State Engineer recently completed hearings on issuance of a permenent waterpermit, with a decision expected by the end of January 1992. Barring non-renewal of the temporary water permit, OCRUM now has in hand a(t theenvirormental permits required to carry out all planned work in FY 1992 and FY 1993 at the site.

The scientific investigation of the Yucca Mountain candidate site Involves a program of surface-based tests, including the collection andanalysis of geologic, hydrologic, geochemical, and climatological data; environmental and socioeconomic evaluation: the construction of anunderground test facility, and the conduct of the in-situ test program within the facility; nstitutional interactions with the State of Nevadaand affected local governments; payents-equal-to-taxes to the State of Nevada and appropriate local jurisdictions; financial assistance forinvestigation and mitigation and oversight by the State of Nevada; implementation of the Benefits Agreements program as required; extensiveinteractions with the NRC and with the Presidentially-appointed Nuclear aste Technical Review Board; and project management activities,including a rigorous quality assurance program to ensure that all aspects of the work are conducted effectively and efficiently. If the YuccaMountain candidate site Is found suitable and is designated as the repository site, the site investigation program wilt culminate in subsissionof a license application to the NRC to construct a high-level nuclear waste repository. In addition to the site-specific work to be mplemented,geoscientific analysis, risk assessments, Material Characterization Center tasks related to spent fuel and high-level waste forms, developmentand analysis of performance assessment models, defense high-level waste design and performance studies, and participation n and reviews ofselected foreign waste management activities, will be conducted.

During FY 1992, OCRWM will maintain the momentum generated by the start of new surface-based testing at Yucca Mountain in July 1991, byconducting as uch drilling as possible as soon as possible to optimize early site suitability evaluation and hydrologic considerations.Concurrently, during FY 1992, OCRUM will pursue early issue closure to the maximum extent possible and focus on putting the necessary performanceassessment toots in place.

In FY 1993, OCRWM plans to conduct the following activities at the Yucca Mountain candidate site:

o A trenching program wilt begin; a saturated zone drilling program and a systematic drilling program wilt be initiated for site suitabilityevaluation; data collection on calcite-silica studies and Midway Valley studies wilt continue.

o Title II design for Exploratory Studies Facility (ESF) first access buildings and surface facilities wilt be completed; Title II design for ESFfirst and second access portals will be initiated and completed; site preparation and surface facilities construction at first access will begin;Title II design for the first access ramp will be initiated; Title II design for second access site preparation, buildings and surface facilitieswill be initiated and completed.

o The Yucca Mountain Field Operations Center will be staffed for the continued expansion of surface-based testing and start of ESF construction;

235

long-lead procurement for electrical power tines and material upgrades will start; Area 25 infrastructure improvements will continue.

o Enhancement of the project-level Planning and Control System (PACS) will continue; implementation of participant-level cost/schedule controlsystems will be completed; expansion of the program-wide area network, to include the field operations center, wilt continue; and the qualityassurance program will keep pace with the accelerated project activities.

o To meet the overall project goal to submit a repository license application to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission in 2001. as currentlyscheduled, a more aggressive funding profile will be required for the outyears

3. Narrative:

(a) The Nuclear Waste Policy Amendments Act of 1987, Title V Public Law 100-203,selected the tuff site at Yucca Mountain, Nevada for detailed characterization toevaluate site suitability for the construction of the nation's first high-levelwaste repository.

Z61

The Exploratory Studies Facility will consist of two 25-foot inside diameter slopingramps to the Topopah Spring Level (TSL), with side ramps 18 feet inside diametercontinuing down to the Calico Hills Level (CHL), constructed by tunnel boringmachines (TBM). When completed, the ramps will be capable of transporting personneland materials to the test and potential repository horizons. The undergroundlateral drifts will include service and core test areas and exploratory drifts whichwill allow for a wide range of in-situ geologic, geochemical, geomechanical,hydrologic, and thermal tests in the geologic horizon.

(b) The primary objective of this project is to collect and analyze data to be used indetermining the suitability of the Yucca Mountain candidate site for theconstruction of a potential high-level radioactive waste repository. Construction,as defined in the Exploratory Studies Facility Design Requirements Document, will:(1) provide access to selected underground tuff horizons and surrounding strata inan unsaturated zone and perform in-situ testing in the selected horizons at theYucca Mountain candidate site, and (2) provide the ability to safely and effectivelyacquire the necessary data for design of a potential repository, performanceassessment, and license application.

The Exploratory Studies (ES) program will contribute to the scientificinvestigations through extensive in-situ testing. This testing will assess thegeologic characteristics and characteristic variables; assess the hydrologicproperties to aid in evaluation of the isolation capability of the candidate tuffhorizon; and determine that the stability of openings can be maintained throughoutthe operational life of the potential repository without adversely affectingisolation capability or retrievability. At the conclusion of the ES program, andthrough the use of data obtained in other Yucca Mountain site investigationactivities, data will be available to assess the suitability of the tuff on the sitefor use as a nuclear waste repository.

(c) The budget authority level requested for FY 1993 will provide for equipmentprocurements; start and completion of the north area site preparation activitiesand the construction of the north area portal; installation of the primary surfaceutilities and communications for the north area; completion of the north area TitleII. design for the buildings and surface facilities and start of south area Title IIdesign for the buildings and surface facilities; and start of Title II design forthe north and south area ramp excavations.

NUCLEAR WASTE FUND

1. Preface: Monitored Retrievable Storage

Monitored Retrievable Storage

This activity supports the siting, design, construction, licensing through the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), and operation of a facilityto perform spent nuclear fuel receipt, handling and storage, as necessary, prior to emplacement in a geologic repository. In order to ensurethat all aspects of the work are conducted effectively and efficiently and that NRC regulatory requirements for licensing are met, acomprehensive quality assurance program will be implemented and maintained. The MRS facility will provide the Federal Waste Management Systemwith the capability to start spent fuel acceptance. In accordance with the National Energy Strategy (NES), the Office of Civilian RadioactiveWaste Management (OCRWM) is seeking legislation to secure modification of the Nuclear Waste Policy Amendments Act (NWPAA) linkages between theMRS and the repository schedules. The MRS budget request is based on the assumption that the facility is de-linked from the repository schedulethrough enactment by the Congress of the legislative initiative or through a negotiated agreement with a host State or Indian Tribe that issubsequently approved by Congress.

Engineering Development

The Engineering Development portion of the MRS activity was grouped with the Transportation activity in FY 1991-92. This activity develops anddemonstrates crosscutting technologies required by OCRWM. These technologies include: 1) a process to consolidate spent nuclear fuel assemblieson a production line basis; 2) development of alternative dry storage technologies; 3) development of technologies for automated remote handlingof spent nuclear fuel; 4) development of technologies and processes to comply with international nuclear material safeguards requirements, and 5)development of processes and equipment to be used in the decontamination and decommissioning of OCRUM facilities. OCRWH believes that continuedsupport of existing engineering development activities is beneficial; however, upon completion of these activities, the engineering developmentprogram is expected to be phased out. The removal of spent fuel from West Valley, NY, to the MRS and the immediate removal of the non-fuelcomponents from the INEL TAN Hot Shop pool will significantly reduce long-term storage costs. The Engineering Development budget request is basedon the assumption that the spent fuel will be removed from West Valley, however; options for long-term storage at West Valley will be studied.The non-fuel components from the INEL TAN Hot Shop pool will be removed to dry storage at INEL. Phase IV, a hot demonstration of the prototypicalconsolidation development program (PCDP), if approved, will be delayed until 1994.

NUCLEAR WASTE FUND

1. Preface: Transportation, Systems Integration, and Engineering Development

Transportation

The purpose of this activity is to develop a safe, environmentally acceptable, and cost-effective system for the transport of spent nuclear fuelin time to support the start of operation at an MRS facility, utilizing the private sector to the fullest extent possible; provide for thedesign, development, certification, and testing of necessary transportation equipment and services required for operation; identify and resolveinstitutional issues; develop analytical processes and transportation information data bases to support overall program requirements (e.g.Environmental Assessment and Environmental Impact Statement support, risk assessment, interface information, cost information, etc.); and providefor the operational aspects of the shipment of spent fuel and high-level wastes to storage nd/or final disposal facilities.

Waste Acceptance

This activity consists of: 1) primary technical interface with nuclear utilities to ensure communication with the owners and generators of spentnuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste; 2) necessary support to manage the Standard Disposal Contract, including fees and terms ofpayment; 3) verification of on-going and one-time fees paid into the Nuclear Waste Fund (F); 4) management of the WF fee adequacy analysis 5)development and management of the contract/MOU fee structures and methodologies for West Valley and Defense Waste; 6) management of spent fueldata collection, validation and dissemination, management of the spent fuel acceptance process with owners and generators of spent fuel; and 7)preparation of the Annual Capacity Report and the Annual Acceptance Priority Ranking Report.

Systems Integration

This activity is part of the Systems and Compliance key activity summary In the FY 1993 budget. It Is shown here only for continuity with the FY1991 and FY 1992 budget structure. The objective of the Systems Integration activity is to ensure that the various components of the wastemanagement system are integrated into a single system that is safe, efficient, reliable, cost-effective, and on schedule. The approach toaccomplishing this objective is to: identify and baseline technical requirements of the total system; maintain current descriptions of thesystem, its components, and interfaces that meet requirements; enhance communication among parties responsible for individual system componentsand functions; develop and maintain a capability to fully assess alternative concepts; conduct system studies and recommend improvements; andsupport development of equipment and processes having the potential to improve the system.

Engineering Development

This activity is part of the MRS key activity summary in the FY 1993 budget. It is shown here only for continuity with the FY 1991 and FY 1992budget structure. The Engineering Development activity develops and demonstrates crosscutting technologies required by the Office of CivilianRadioactive Waste Management (OCRWM), such as a process to consolidate spent nuclear fuel assemblies on a production line basis, adequate to meetthe annual throughput requirements and facility development schedules of a MRS facility or a geologic repository and the development ofalternative dry storage technologies for spent nuclear fuel. This includes demonstration of the equipment through the consolidation of actualspent fuel assemblies. Technologies to implement automated remote handling techniques in the OCRWM Program, technologies and processes requiredto allow OCRWM to comply with international nuclear material safeguards requirements, and processes and equipment to be used in thedecontamination and decommissioning of OCRWM facilities and equipment will be developed as part of this activity.

DEPARTMENT Of ENERGYFY 1993 CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET REQUEST



NUCLEAR WASTE FUND

1. Preface: Systems and Compliance

This Key Activity Sumary encompasses the former Systems Integration activity with the addition of regulatory compliance activities. Itsobjectives are to ensure that: 1) the various components of the waste management system are integrated into a single system that is safe,efficient, reliable, cost-effective, and in compliance with all applicable regulatory guidelines; and 2) the activities leading to the finalwaste management system are conducted in accordance with the regulatory guidance provided by the governing authorities. The approach toaccomplishing these objectives is to: identify and baseline technical requirements of the total system; maintain current descriptions of thesystem, its components, and interfaces that meet requirements; enhance conmunication among parties responsible for individual system componentsand functions; develop and maintain a capability to fully assess alternative concepts; conduct systems studies and recoimend improvements;support development of equipment and processes having the potential to improve the system; conduct regulatory complance reviews; support theNuclear Waste Technical Review Board; and continue interactions with NRC concerning licensing issues. These activities are critical to thesuccess of the overall program schedule as they directly impact the NRC licensing process for both the repository and the MRS.

In FY 1993, Systems and Compliance activities will focus on the repository and MRS program elements, with emphasis on work necessary to supportYucca Mountain surface-based testing, early issue resolution, and development of the requisite performance assessment toots, as well as MRSdesign and MRS/repository integration into the overall waste management system.
