In support of an environmental assessment of the subseabed concept for nuclear waste disposal, which is being evaluated in the US Department of Energy (DOE) Subseabed Disposal Program (SDP), a preconceptual description has been developed for land and sea transportation systems and for a port facility where the land and sea systems interface. The complete system has a reference capacity for shipping and disposing of the commercial high-level waste (CHLW) generated from reprocessing 3000 MTHM/yr of spent reactor fuel elements (approx. 1950 canisters/yr). Two scenarios are considered: (1) A 1500 MTHM/yr reprocessing plant located in the Southeast US shipping to an East coast port 500 miles away from which the waste is transported to an Atlantic disposal site; and a 1500 MTHM/yr reprocessing plant located in the Northwest US shipping to a West coast port 500 miles away from which the waste is transported to a Pacific disposal site. (2) A 3000 MTHM/yr reprocessing plant located in the Southeast US shipping 50% of the CHLW produced to an East coast port 500 miles away for disposal in the Atlantic and shipping the other 50% to a West coast port 2000 miles away for disposal in the Pacific.
