PRELIMINARY ESTIMATES OF THE CHARGE FOR SPENT FUEL STORAGE AND DISPOSAL SERVICES

摘要

This report is analytical in nature. It presents results in terms of use-based charges for interim storage and disposal or disposal only services for spent fuel from commercial nuclear reactors. A reference case and sensitivity variations involving nine additional cases are calculated on the basis of a selected reference methodology. Additional cases are given which vary the calculational methodology on the reference case. The methodologies include a levelized charge methodology in which all customers are subject to the same charge regardless of the services received.nThe assumptions in this report are consistent with those announced in the October 1977 spent nuclear fuel policy. The reference case described in the report does not represent a proposed charge or even a most probable charge;it is simply a case upon which a sensitivity analysis was performed to examine the impact of changes in assumptions.
