Danger Lurks Below: The Threat to Major Water Supplies from U.S. Department of Energy Nuclear Weapons Plants - Executive Summary

Executive summary for comprehensive report Danger Lurks Below: The Threat to Major Water Supplies from US Department of Energy Nuclear Weapons Testing . The bulk of the report lives with the Alliance for Nuclear Accountability Records, archived in the Swathmore College Peace Collection. This report details the serious shortfalls of the DOE\u27s cleanup program and shows how hazardous materials are migrating from nuclear weapons sites, placing the environment, water supply systems and significant numbers of people at risk. ANA, founded in 1987, is a national network of organizations that represents the concerns of communities near US nuclear weapons factories. It develops educational materials and advocates for safe solutions for the cleanup of the DOE nuclear weapons complex. We focus on the 13 largest DOE sites; however, it must be noted that many smaller DOE sites also need cleanup. This research was completed money allocated during Round 2 of the Citizens’ Monitoring and Technical Assessment Fund (MTA Fund). Clark University was named conservator of these works.

DOE Office of Civilian Radioactive Waste Management (OCRWM) system studies digest

The Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Civilian Radioactive Waste Management (OCRWM) has sponsored system studies to support the evaluation of alternative configurations and operations for the Civilian Radioactive Waste Management System (CRWMS) and the development of system requirements and design specifications. These studies are generally directed toward evaluating the impacts of alternatives to the monitored retrievable storage (MRS) and fuel rod consolidation, waste form and characteristics sequences, cask and canister concepts, allocation of waste acceptance rights, and system throughput rates. The objectives of this document are: To present major system issues and related system element issues in a structured manner; to discuss key results of major system studies and explain the basis for certain current system assumptions; to summarize the scope and results of completed system studies that are still relevant at the time this document is published; and to provide the background needed for identifying and prioritizing system issues to be resolved. Consistent with the objectives, the document does not include low-level subsystem studies addressing system element issues that do not interact with overall system issues. The document is expected to be updated as major new system studies are completed and significant new results are available

A Problem of Politics of Technique? Insights from Waste-Management Strategies in Sweden and France

Sweden and France are in many respects in the vanguard of high-level radioactive waste disposal efforts, and they offer sharp contrasts regarding basic strategies and underlying philosophies for waste management. We compare their waste disposal programs for insight into the dilemma of siting and developing a permanent waste repository. We find that technical decisions, as well as the more obvious sociopolitical decisions about repository development, are shaped by deep-seated social and political forces in each nation.
