rtion of the LWR Fuel Cycle,” NUREG-0116 (Supp. 1 to WASH-1248); the “ Public Comments and Task Force Responses Regarding the Environmental Survey of the Reprocessing and Waste Management Portions of the LWR Fuel Cycle,” NUREG-0216 (Supp. 2 to WASH-1248); and in the record of the final rulemaking pertaining to Uranium Fuel Cycle Impacts from Spent Fuel Reprocessing and Radioactive Waste Management, Docket RM-50-3 (NRC 1996). The contributions from reprocessing, waste management, and transportation of wastes are maximized for either of the two fuel cycles (uranium only and no recycle). The contribution from transportation excludes transportation of cold fuel to a reactor and of irradiated fuel and radioactive wastes from a reactor, which are considered in Table S-4 of 51.20(g). The contributions from the other steps of the fuel cycle are given in columns A-E of Table S-3A of WASH-1248. (b) The contributions to temporarily committed land from reprocessing are not prorated over 30 years since the complete temporary impact accrues regardless of whether the plant services one reactor for one year or 57 reactors for 30 years. (c) Estimated effluents based upon combustion of equivalent coal for power generation. (d) 1.2% from natural gas use and process.
