  1. Importation of Class A WasteTexas Compact CommissionJanuary 16, 2014

  2. Importation of Class A LLW • The Compact Waste Disposal Facility (CWF) has adequate disposal capacity to import Class A LLW • Proposed import of 50,000 ft3 of Class A and 25,000 ft3 of Class B/C approximates volumes being exported. • WCS amendment to expand CWF to 9 million ft3 is administratively complete – over a threefold increase • Decommissioning of VY will remove over 200,000 ft3 from operational waste receipts from 2015 - 2032. • Decommissioning waste is placed in the non-containerized disposal unit and is more capacity efficient. • All of the VY decommissioning waste is included in our estimates.

  3. Types of Waste • Class A LLW may include: • Dry Active Waste (DAW), which include bags, rags and protective clothing which are compactable. • Soil and debris, which have low-dose rates and low activity. • Resins and filters, which typically have high-dose rates. • Large components, which include reactor vessels and steam generators encased in several inches of steel. • Class B/C may include: • Resins and filters • Irradiated Hardware

  11. Waste for Import • WCS can be cost effective and compete in the disposal market for the following Class A LLW: • Resins and filters, which typically have high-dose rates. • Large components, which include reactor vessels and steam generators encased in several inches of steel. • The Class A LLW will supplement the Class B/C volumes already being received. • The Class A LLW is needed to maintain our low disposal pricing for Party State generators.
