“…If the TRUPACT system were government owned, the lease cost would be in the range of $480-$640/day assuming the same annual usage, and an FCR range of 15 to 20%. Approximate round trip times determined by Daling and Engel (1983) were used. An estimated unit cost of $773/m 3 was used for WIPP operations.…”

“…Rail carriers have no provisions to supply an armed escort service. They have indicated, however, that they will supply a car or caboose for escorts to C.3 ride in at the cost of a coach-class passenger ticket, or approximately $0.09 per mile per escort (Daling 1983). The wages and living expenses for the escorts must also be added to this charge.…”

This study assesses the benefits and costs of fractionating the cesium and strontium (Cs/Sr) components in commercial high-level waste (HLW) to a separate waste stream for the purpose of reducing geologic repository thermal stresses in the region of the HLW.System costs are developed for a broad range of conditions comparing the Cs/Sr fractionation concept with disposal of 10-year-old vitrified HLW and vitrified HLW aged to achieve (through decay) the same heat output as the fractionated high-level waste (FHLW). All comparisons are based on a 50,000 metric ton equivalent (MTE) system. The FHLW and the Cs/Sr waste are both disposed of as vitrified waste but emplaced in separate areas of a basalt repository. The FHLW is emplaced in high-integrity packages at relatively high waste loading but low heat loading, while the Cs/Sr waste is emplaced in minimum-integrity packages at relatively high heat loading in a separate region of the repository. System cost comparisons are based on minimum cost combinations of canister diameter, waste concentration, and canister spacing in a basalt repository. The effects on both long-and near-term safety considerations are also addressed.The major conclusion is that the Cs/Sr fractionation concept offers the prospect of a substantial total system cost advantage for HLW disposal if reduced HLW package temperatures in a basalt repository are desired. However, there is no cost advantage if currently designated maximum design temperatures are acceptable. Aging the HLW for 50 to 100 years can accomplish similar results at equivalent or lower costs.iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
