• My Demonstration Model for Near-Surface Disposal of Low-Level Radioactive Waste
• My metric system reference page

  Old IAEA document(s):

• Safety Series No. 58: Concepts and Examples of Safety Analyses for Radioactive Waste Repositories in Continental Geologic Formations, (PDF format, <6 MB)
• Safety Series No. 68: Performance Assessment for Underground Radioactive Waste Disposal Systems, (PDF format, <2 MB)

Here are some Department of Emergy publications:

• DOE/EM-0319 Linking Legacies, Connecting the Cold War Nuclear Weapons Production Processes to Their Environmental Consequences, (PDF format, 27 MB)
• The 3-volume Disposal Working Group Performance Evaluation is a comparison of the performance of DOE radioactive waste sites across the complex, commissioned by the National Governor's Association in 1994 (DOE/ID-10521 and SAND96-0721):
  • Vol. 1, Executive Summary (PDF format, 3 MB)
  • Vol. 2, Technical Basis (PDF format, 14 MB)
  • Vol. 3, Site Evaluations (PDF format, 54 MB)

Here are some EPA documents useful in dose assessment:

• FGR 11, aka Federal Guidance Report 11, or Eckerman et al. (1988) for inhalation, ingestion, and submersion
• FGR 12, aka Federal Guidance Report 12, or Eckerman and Ryman (1993) for external irradiation

These CFR files are worthwhile, because the GPO access site breaks them up into separate chapters. Here, I have reassembled them for your convenience:

• 10 CFR 20, all in one file (PDF format)
• 10 CFR 60, all in one file (PDF format)
• 10 CFR 61, all in one file (PDF format)
• 40 CFR 191, all in one file (PDF format)
• 40 CFR 192, all in one file (PDF format)

  And of course, documents from NRC: Not all NUREG documents are available from NRC's reading room, such as the following:

• NUREG-0782 Draft EIS on 10 CFR 61, vol.1, vol.2, vol.3, and vol.4 (vol. 1-3 are text selectable, but vol. 4 is not)
• NUREG-0945 Final EIS on 10 CFR 61, vol.1, vol.2, and vol.3 (vol. 3 is missing page D-85)
• NUREG-1199 Format and Content Guide for LLW Disposal License Application, rev.1 and rev.2.
• NUREG-1200 Standard Review Plan for LLW Disposal License Application, rev.3.
