DOE/RW-0006, Rev. 11 September 1995 Integrated Data Base Report—1994: U.S. Spent Nuclear Fuel and Radioactive Waste Inventories, Projections, and Characteristics Prepared for U.S. Department of Energy Office of Civilian Radioactive Waste Management Office of Environmental Management Washington, D.C. 20585 Prepared by Oak Ridge National Laboratory Managed by Lockheed Martin Energy Systems, Inc., for the U.S. Department of Energy under contract DE-AC05-84OR21400 ^Y ml I ESI ^ DISTRIBUTION OF THIS DOCUMENT IS UNLIMITED PREFACE The information in this report summarizes the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) data base for inventories, projections, and characteristics of domestic spent nuclear fuel and radioactive waste. This report is updated annually to keep abreast of continual waste inventory and projection changes in both the government and commercial sectors. Baseline information is provided for DOE program planning purposes and to support DOE program decisions. Although the primary purpose of this document is to provide background information for program planning within the DOE community, it has also been found useful by state and local governments, the academic community, and some private citizens. To sustain the objectives of this program in providing accurate and complete data in this field of operation, comments and suggestions to improve the quality and coverage are encouraged. Such comments and any general inquiries should be directed to the U.S. Department of Energy at either of the following: Office of Civilian Radioactive Waste Office of Environmental Management Management Route Symbol EM-332 or 432 Route Symbol RW-44 Trevion II 1000 Independence Avenue, SW Washington, DC 20585-0002 Washington, DC 20585-0001 This report was prepared by the Integrated Data Base Program, which is jointly sponsored by the DOE Office of Civilian Radioactive Waste Management and the DOE Office of Environmental Management.
