The Administration is fully committed to ensuring that long-term storage obligations for nuclear waste are met. The President has made clear that Yucca Mountain is not an option for waste storage. The Blue Ribbon Commission on America's Nuclear Future, led by Congressman Lee Hamilton and General Brent Scowcroft, will conduct a comprehensive review of policies for managing the back end of the nuclear fuel cycle, and will provide recommendations for developing a safe, long-term solution to managing the Nation's used nuclear fuel and nuclear waste. On March 3, 2010, the Department of Energy filed a motion with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to withdraw the license application for a high-level nuclear waste repository at Yucca Mountain with prejudice. The President's fiscal year 2011 budget request eliminates funding for the Office of Civilian Radioactive Waste Management. The Office of Nuclear Energy will lead used fuel activities previously performed by OCRWM. This section contains mostly archival documents.

Low-Level Radioactive Waste Fact Sheets: An Introductio? RER-00
A series of fact sheets on various aspects of low level waste handling, storage and disposal produced by the Ohio State University.
http://ohioline.osu.edu/rer-fact/

Extractions: Low-level radioactive waste has been generated for decades in Ohio and other states by nuclear power plants, industry, hospitals, universities, research institutions, and government facilities. According to federal law, each state is responsible for disposing of commercial low-level radioactive waste generated within its borders. States may form groups, called compacts, to share that responsibility. Ohio is part of the Midwest Compact; the other members are Indiana, Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, and Wisconsin. Every twenty years, the responsibility for hosting the Midwest Compact's low-level waste disposal facility will rotate among the member states. As the largest generator of this waste, Ohio was chosen as the first host state. Ohio's citizens and elected officials are now faced with making decisions about low-level radioactive waste. Radioactive waste is a topic few people have had an opportunity to study in detail. But accurate information is necessary if Ohioans are to make sound decisions about dealing with low-level waste. Radiation Education Resources for Ohio is a set of fact sheets written by a team at The Ohio State University (OSU) to provide Ohio's citizens with information on low-level radioactive waste. The fact sheets are designed to present accurate, research-based information that will help Ohio's citizens and their elected officials to participate confidently and competently in discussions and decisions related to low-level waste.

Tracking A Legacy Of Waste In The West Siberian Basin
Russian scientists began discharging liquid radioactive waste to rivers and reservoirs and injecting waste into the groundwater some 50 years ago. Scientists are working on remediation strategies at the three Russian sites.
http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/1998/12/981204131112.htm

Extractions: Share Blog Cite Print Email Bookmark ScienceDaily (Dec. 7, 1998) See Also: Reference Fifty years ago, Russian scientists began discharging this liquid radioactive waste into nearby rivers and open reservoirs. About a decade later, they also began injecting radioactive waste into what they believed were very slow moving fields of groundwater in the West Siberian Basin, located in central Russia. The practice of discharging into open reservoirs continued until the early 1990s. Over time, Russian scientists discovered waste had migrated in the aquifer underlying one reprocessing site to a nearby stream and could threaten the drinking water of residents. After the models are developed, Pacific Northwest scientists will estimate how the contaminants have moved over time and estimate their future path. The models will help improve understanding of how radioactive wastes react with the rocks as they are transported by groundwater. The findings are expected to influence remediation strategies at the three Russian sites. Since 1992, Pacific Northwest scientists have modeled the hydrogeology of the West Siberian Basin and of Mayak using data from groundwater studies provided by Russia. West Siberia is the largest basin and region of low relief on earth. Next, it is proposed that the scientists will model the Tomsk site and, possibly, Krasnoyarsk.

The Sub-Seabed Solution - 96.10
Article in the Atlantic Monthly about long term storage of radioactive waste beneath the ocean floor.
http://www.theatlantic.com/issues/96oct/seabed/seabed.htm

Extractions: I N 1976 a giant coring device mounted to a ship plunged repeatedly into the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, three miles below the surface, bringing up 100-foot-long tubes of mud and clay with the consistency of peanut butter. The primeval muck told a tale of geologic serenity. Sediment records from the cores indicate that the region roughly 600 miles north of Hawaii and spanning an area four times the size of Texas has been tranquil for 65 million years, unperturbed by volcanic activity or by shifting of the earth's tectonic plates. Charles Hollister, a geologist and senior scientist at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, saw even more when he gazed at the thick dark ooze. He saw what might prove to be the perfect place to sequester our high-level nuclear waste the most potent and intensely radioactive by-products of military or civilian enterprise.
