This report was prepared in support of the New Production Reactor (NPR) Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) and provides information necessary to characterize the onsite transportation impacts associated with siting an NPR at the Hanford Site (Hanford). The document presents descriptive information on the transportation network (including highway, rail, and barge transport modes), as well as Hanford traffic statistics. Traffic statistics are presented for calendar year 1988 (CY 1988) as representative of annual traffic statistics for Hanford. This document also presents estimates of the radiological impacts of siting an NPR at Hanford. Radiological impacts are presented in terms of the radiological doses to the population surrounding the site and to maximally exposed individuals from routine (incident-free) transport of radioactive materials as well as the radiological risks to the population and radiological consequences of bounding accidents involving tritium fuel cycle materials. Transportation impact data are presented for three NPR technology options, including light water reactor (LWR), heavy water reactor (HWR), and modular high-temperature gas-cooled reactor (MHTGR) technologies.
