Content:
2.1 Principally from milling—included tailings liquor and returned to ground—no effluents; therefore, no effect on environment. Ra-226 .0034 From UF 6 production. Th-230 .0015 Th-234 .01 From fuel fabrication plants—concentration 10 percent of 10 CFR 20 for total processing 26 annual fuel requirements for model LWR. Fission and activation products 5.9 × 10 −6 Solids (buried on site): Other than high level (shallow) 11,300 9,100 Ci comes from low level reactor wastes and 1,500 Ci comes from reactor decontamination and decommissioning—buried at land burial facilities. 600 Ci comes from mills—included in tailings returned to ground. Approximately 60 Ci comes from conversion and spent fuel storage. No significant effluent to the environment. TRU and HLW (deep) 1.1 × 10 7 Buried at Federal Repository. Effluents—thermal (billions of British thermal units) 4,063 <5 percent of model 1,000 MWe LWR. Transportation (person-rem): Exposure of workers and general public 2.5 Occupational exposure (person-rem) 22.6 From reprocessing and waste management. 1 In some cases where no entry appears it is clear from the background documents that the matter was addressed and that, in effect, the Table should be read as if a specific zero entry had been made. However, there are other areas that are not addressed at all in the Table. Table S-3 does not include health effects from the effluents described in the Table, or estimates of releases of Radon-222 from the uranium fuel cycle or estimates of Technetium-99 released from waste management or reprocessing activities. These issues may be the subject of litigation in the individual licensing proceedings. Data supporting this table are given in the “Environmental Survey of the Uranium Fuel Cycle,” WASH-1248, April 1974; the “Environmental Survey of the Reprocessing and Waste Management Portion of the LWR Fuel Cycle,” NUREG-0116 (Supp.1 to WASH-1248); the “Public Comments and Task Force Responses Regarding the
