Abstract
Design layouts were developed for a West Valley Demonstration Project SSA with integrated interim storage of high-level radioactive waste canisters, spent fuel, and GTCC wastes from potential closure activities. Overall SSA cost estimates were prepared for the potential use of any of the NRC-licensed dry storage concepts. Using the costs for the concept closest to the average cost of all the concepts, comparisons were made to estimated costs for continued storage in the process building and FRS.
