Estimating the cost of disposal for Canada's nuclear fuel waste / by Y. Ates. : CC2-11627E-PDF

"Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd (AECL) issued an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) on the Concept for Disposal of Canada's Nuclear Fuel Waste (AECL 1994). The EIS is supported by nine primary reference documents. One of these primary reference documents, The Disposal of Canada's Nuclear Fuel Waste: Engineering for a Disposal Facility (Simmons and Baumgartner 1994 ), includes the cost estimate for a reference conceptual engineering design of a disposal facility. Simmons and Baumgartner drew information from a series of the conceptual-level engineering design studies, primarily from the Used-Fuel Disposal Centre - A Reference Concept (AECL CANDU et al. 1992), which included a cost estimate. The objective of this document is to summarize the basis of the cost estimates of AECL CANDU et al. (1992) and Simmons and Baumgartner (1994) by describing the relevant engineering studies performed, major assumptions made, methods used, and by explaining the overall scope of the cost estimates"--p.
