Abstract
Secondary radioactive wastes will be generated during the normal operation of the Yucca Mountain Nuclear Waste Repository. The sources, quantities, and characteristics of these site-generated radioactive wastes are estimated, and available waste treatment and disposal technologies are evaluated. Technical and economic comparisons are performed for 10 waste treatment options. Recommendations are given for the preferred waste treatment and disposal options based on these comparisons of the various alternatives. 42 refs., 38 figs., 23 tabs.
