INTERIM STORAGE PARTNERS LLC CHAPTER 4 ENVIRONMENTAL REPORT Page 4-12 Revision 3 4.2.6 Radiological Impacts of Transportation ISP evaluated the radiological impacts associated with the transport of SNF to the proposed CISF site from both operating and decommissioned sites. The evaluation used three sample rail routes to estimate bounding doses for normal (incident-free) transportation and potential accidents for both proposed rail shipments to the CISF, and for those from the CISF to a proposed repository. Dose estimates were computed using RADTRAN 6, a computer code originally developed by Sandia National Laboratories under contract to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. The doses were also calculated for a representative number of barge and heavy haul highway shipments for several decommissioned sites. Barge and heavy haul shipments may be required to move SNF from the decommissioned site to existing rail connections. The heavy haul and barge shipments were evaluated to see what effect they had on a route's overall dose.
The evaluation determined that the radiological impacts for both incident-free transportation and accidents for shipments to and from the CISF were small and well below background doses. It further showed that barge and heavy haul shipments were not major contributors to overall collective dose.
The population, occupational, and accident doses were also found to be consistent with previous studies conducted by the NRC, namely:

Since publication of NUREG-0170, RADTRAN has been updated and used to estimate the risk of radioactive material transportation for environmental impact statements and risk assessments published by NRC, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and other U.S. Federal and state agencies.
The methodology used for ISP's evaluation is similar to those used in NUREG-2125 to address radiological impacts. The population densities were computed using the WebTRAGIS software. The incident-free transportation doses were calculated for populations located within 800 meters (one-half mile) along both sides of the transportation routes using the RADTRAN software. Incident-free doses were calculated using a Transport Index of 14, which is consistent with the maximum dose rate allowed for exclusive use shipments under NRC regulations (10 CFR 71.47 (b) (3)). WebTRAGIS was used in this study to determine the route length and population density along each route segment. Table 4.2-2 lists specific routing parameters used in the evaluation. A more detailed list of parameters can be found in Table 4.1-1 of Attachment 4-1.

INTERIM STORAGE PARTNERS LLC CHAPTER 4 ENVIRONMENTAL REPORT Page 4-14 Revision 3 4.2.6.2 Comparable NRC Analyses The radiological impacts of transporting SNF have been extensively studied for nearly 40 years.
Several Transportation risk studies have been published by NRC during this period of time; the most recent is Spent Nuclear Fuel Risk Transportation, NUREG-2125 (NRC, 2014). This study was preceded by Sprung, J.L., et al., Reexamination of Spent Fuel Shipment Risk Estimates, NUREG/CR-6672 (NRC,2000), which in turn was preceded by the Final Environmental Statement on the Transportation of Radioactive Material by Air and Other Modes, NUREG-0170.(NRC, 1977).
All of the NRCs studies mentioned above have concluded that the risk from radiation emitted from a transportation cask during routine, incident-free transportation is a small fraction of the radiation dose received from the natural background.
NUREG 2125, Spent Fuel Transportation Risk Assessment, that (NRC, 2014) concluded that:
- 1. The collective dose risks from routine transportation are very small. These doses are approximately four to five orders of magnitude less than the collective background radiation dose.
- 2. Radioactive material would not be released in an accident if the fuel is contained in an inner welded canister inside the cask.
- 3. Rail casks without inner welded canisters could release radioactive material, and only then in exceptionally severe accidents.
- 4. If there were an accident during a spent fuel shipment, there is only about one-in-a billion chance that the accident would result in a release of radioactive material.
- 5. If there were a release of radioactive material in a spent fuel shipment accident, the dose to the maximally exposed individual (MEI) would be less than 2 Sv (200 rem) and would not result in an acute lethality.
- 6. The collective dose risks for the two types of extremely severe accidents (accidents involving a release of radioactive material and loss of lead shielding (LOS) accidents) are negligible compared to the risk from a no-release, no-loss of shielding accident.
- 7. The risk of gamma shielding loss from a fire is negligible.
- 8. None of the fire accidents investigated in this study resulted in a release of radioactive material.

INTERIM STORAGE PARTNERS LLC CHAPTER 4 ENVIRONMENTAL REPORT Page 4-15 Revision 3 The NRC has also analyzed the radiological impacts from transporting SNF in several EISs supporting other licensing actions and found the radiological impacts to be small.
In licensing the PFS SNF Storage facility, the NRC analyzed the radiological impacts associated with transporting 40,000 MTUs of SNF from Maine Yankee to Goshute Indian Reservation near Salt Lake City, Utah. The radiological impacts attributable to transportation were not significant and served as a basis for issuance of the Environmental Impact Statement for the Construction and Operation of an Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation on the Reservation for the Skull Valley Band of the Goshute Indians and the Related Transportation Facility in Tooele County, Utah (NRC, 2001).
In addition, the NRC relied upon the analysis done for the PFS facility in its Generic Environmental Impact Statement (NUREG-2157) to support its recent rulemaking titled, Continued Storage of SNF (NRC, 2014a).
The NRC also analyzed the environmental impacts associated with transporting SNF from Maine Yankee to Deaf Smith County, TX, and found that the radiological impacts were not significant (NRC, 2014b, Table 2-6). As described in Section 4.2.7.1, the doses from shipments from Maine Yankee to the CISF were the largest doses calculated for shipments to the CISF and are of the same magnitude as doses from Maine Yankee to Deaf Smith.
4.2.7 Transportation Routes Radiological impacts associated with transporting SNF from 12 decommissioned reactor sites to the CISF were analyzed. ISP also analyzed shipments from the CISF to the proposed repository at Yucca Mountain in Nye County, Nevada.
Since SNF could be required to be transported short distances by heavy haul trucks or barge to a rail transfer facility, ISP analyzed a representative number of shipments to evaluate the dose effect of heavy haul and barge transport. The transportation modes that were analyzed for the shutdown reactor sites are shown in Table 4.2-3. The routes represented in Table 4.2-3 are a representative sample of routes that could be used and are not intended to include all routes that could be used for shipments to the CISF.

The methodology used to calculate population doses is explained in Attachment 4-1. The annual collective doses for the Maine Yankee to the CISF, San Onofre to the CISF, and CISF to Yucca Mountain shipments are shown in Table 4.2-4. The annual dose represents the exposure from shipping 200 casks over a one year period. The annual doses for shipment of 200 and 655 casks per year calculated in NUREG-0170 are shown for comparison.
The total collective dose representing the environmental impact attributable to transporting 200 casks of SNF from Maine Yankee and San Onofre to the CISF are shown in Table 4.25 and Table 4.2-6. The dose for shipping a single cask from the CISF to Yucca Mountain is shown in Table 4.2-7. The difference between Table 4.2-4 and Table 4.25/
Table 4.2-6/Table 4.2-7 are that the doses in the latter tables are broken out by state.
The radiological impacts are 0.0873 person-Sv (8.73 person-rem) for transporting 200 canisters of SNF each year from the Maine Yankee NPP to the CISF. The collective radiation dose for transporting 200 canisters of SNF from SONGS to the CISF each year was estimated at 0.0184 person-Sv (1.84 person-rem). Similarly, the impacts of transporting 200 canisters from the CISF to Yucca Mountain were estimated at 0.0157 person-Sv (1.57 person-rem).

The estimates are based on three casks being transported per shipment. This over estimates the doses from heavy haul as only one cask is moved at a time.

INTERIM STORAGE PARTNERS LLC CHAPTER 4 ENVIRONMENTAL REPORT Page 4-23 Revision 3 to receive 25% greater dose than crews because that have to be in line of sight to the SNF casks and have less shielding.
Doses to inspectors and first responders depend on the distance from the cask, exposure time, and number of inspectors or responders. The exposure scenarios are modelled in RADTRAN as stationary sources (train stops).
4.2.8 Impacts from Transportation Accidents The radiological transportation impacts that could potentially occur during off-normal events were analyzed. Type B transportation casks licensed in accordance with 10 CFR Part 71 are constructed to withstand severe accidents so that most transport accidents would not result in damage to the cask body or seals that would result in a release. The evaluation looked at three types of potential accidents involving the transportation of SNF by rail, accidents involving no release, accidents involving a release and accidents resulting in a loss of shielding. The dose risk was found to be small for all three types of accidents, and is described in more detail in Attachment 4.1. The conclusion that the accident dose risk is small is consistent with previous studies conducted by the NRC.
4.2.8.1 No-Release Accident The first type, which is the most common type of accident and typically comprises more than 99.99% of all accidents involving transportation of SNF, is an accident in which no release of radioactive material occurs. For this type of accident, the transportation cask remains intact, but members of the public along a segment of the transportation route may be exposed externally to radiation similar to exposure during routine transport of SNF. Based on experience with transporters of radioactive materials, when such an accident happens, the vehicle remains in place until either the entire vehicle or the cask can be moved. For modeling purposes, it is assumed that the transportation vehicle and cask remain in place for 10 hours1.157407e-4 days <br />0.00278 hours <br />1.653439e-5 weeks <br />3.805e-6 months <br />.
4.2.8.2 Accident Involving the Release of Radioactive Materials ISP evaluated severe transportation accidents that could result in the release of radioactive materials. In undertaking its evaluation, ISP assumed that the rail cask (MP197) that it modeled in RADTRAN was similar to the NAC-STC rail cask modelled in NUREG-2125. The casks have similar dimensions and are both lead shielded. ISP used the accident probabilities and release Indicated changes are in response to multiple RAIs
INTERIM STORAGE PARTNERS LLC CHAPTER 4 ENVIRONMENTAL REPORT Page 4-24 Revision 3 fractions developed for the NAC-STC cask rail (NUREG-2125, Table E-16) in its RADTRAN analysis of potential releases from the MP197 cask. It is important to note that the probability and release fractions in NUREG-2125 were developed for SNF that is not contained in canisters that are welded shut. This approach is conservative for canisterized fuel because a major conclusion from NUREG-2125 is that no radioactive material would be released in an accident if the SNF is contained in an inner welded canister.
As shown in Section 5.2 of NUREG-2125, the probability of these type accidents is very small.
The average accident rate for freight rail (between 1996 through 2007) was reported to be 1.10E-4 accidents per thousand rail-km (3.1E-3 accidents per thousand railcar miles) based on data from the U.S. Department of Transportations Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Of the accidents that occur, only a small fraction could result in an impact so severe that the cask could release radioactive material. The fraction of accidents that could result in an accidental release was estimated in NUREG-2125 (Table E-16) to range from 1.13E-10 to 5.96E-12. This results in the overall probability of a release from a cask during rail transportation being of the order of 2.0E-17 (1.10E-4 x 1.13E-10).
The radioactive inventory that was used in the accident analysis is shown in Table 4.1-2 of -1. The radionuclides and values are based on a NUHOMS 61BT canister containing sixty-one 7x7 BWR assemblies in the NUHOMS MP197 shipping cask. The SNF has a burnup of 40,000 MWd/MTU, an initial average bundle enrichment of 3.3 weight percent, and is 10 year cooled. The source for this data is Table 4-1, Radionuclide Inventory, in NUHOMS MP197 Transportation Package Safety Analysis Report, Revision 17 (TN Americas, April 2014).
ISP used RADTRAN 6 to calculate the internal and external doses to an MEI for the seven accident scenarios that NUREG-2125 determined could lead to an accidental release from a rail cask. Details on how the calculations were performed are given in Calculation Package WCS01-0506. The MEI doses are shown in Table 4.2-11.

These accidents occur at a very low frequency. The doses to a maximum exposed individual ranged from 3.5E-2 to 7.71E-2 Sv. The conditional dose risk to an individual is on the order of 1E-11. The collective dose risk along the longest shipping route, Maine Yankee to WCS CISF, is on the order of 1E-9 to 1E-10.
4.2.8.3 Loss-of-Shielding (LOS) Accidents ISP evaluated accidents that could result in a loss of lead shielding (LOS). The methodology that ISP used to evaluate the LOS accidents is the same as that used by the NRC in NUREG2125, Appendix E. Two types of accidents that could cause a lead shielded cask to lose part of its shielding were analyzed. The first type of LOS accident is where a cask is involved in an accident where the cask is either in or near a hot pool fire for over three hours. At Indicated changes are in response to multiple RAIs
INTERIM STORAGE PARTNERS LLC CHAPTER 4 ENVIRONMENTAL REPORT Page 4-27 Revision 3 that point the temperature of the lead exceeds its melting point and the lead begins to liquefy.
When the liquid lead cools and solidifies, it occupies the same volume, but the volume available between the inner and outer cask walls is larger because of the buckling of the inner cask wall leaving a gap. The second type of accident involves severe impact where the lead shield slumps. ISP analyzed twelve accident scenarios involving LOS from severe impact.
The results of the analysis are shown in Table 4.2-16 and Table 4.2-17. The first two columns in the table represent the reduction in lead shielding and the conditional accident probability for the accident scenario analyzed. The 12 different impact scenarios represent different cask speeds and orientation during impact. A more detailed description of the accident scenarios evaluated can be found in Section E.3.1 of NUREG 2125. The conditional accident probabilities and lead lost fractions that ISP used are found in Table E-2 for impact accidents and Section E.3.1.2 for fire accidents.
Table 4.2-16 provides the estimated one hour dose to a maximum exposed individual (MEI) at specified distance for each of the LOS accidents evaluated. The dose to the MEI at 5 meters from the cask is estimated to be 8.09E-3 Sv (0.809 rem). While LOS accidents involving a fire result in the highest doses to the MEI, LOS accidents involving a severe impact have an increased probability of occurrence which result in a higher dose risk for impact accidents. The dose risks for the MEI are shown in Table 4.2-17. As an example, the largest dose risk for the MEI for a severe impact scenario is estimated to be 4.21E-13 Sv (4.21E-11 rem) for a distance of 5 meters from the cask.
NUREG-2125 calculates dose and dose risk estimates for the MEI for transportation accidents.
The doses and dose risks calculated above for the MEI are small and of the same order of magnitude as those presented in NUREG-2125 in Tables E-4 and E-5 for impact accidents and Table E-8 for fire accidents.

A nonradiological impact results from a rail accident in which the property damage, injuries, or fatalities are caused by the force of the impact; no release of or exposure to radiological materials occurs as a result of the rail accident. Based on the 2013 accident rate data compiled for freight rail by the Federal Railroad Administration Office of Safety Analysis, the average rate of injury for freight rail was 7.1E-5 per mile (4.4E-5 per km) and the average rate of fatality was 6.0E-6 per mile (3.7E-6 per km).
On the basis of this data, along with the WebTRAGIS computer code route data, the projected number of nonradiological injuries and fatalities for rail transport was calculated for the routes from Maine Yankee and San Onofre to the CISF and from the CISF to Yucca Mountain. The results are given in Table 4.2.18 for a single shipment, annual shipment of 200 casks in 80 shipments, and for the 40 year licensing period (3200 shipments).

The Final Waste Management Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement for Management, Storage and Disposal of Radioactive and Hazardous Waste, DOE/EIS-0200-F (page E-32) developed risk factors to estimate the excess latent mortality from pollution inhalation for rail shipment. The risk factor for rail shipments was 1.3E-7 per km (2.1E-7 per mile). ISP estimated the excess latent mortality based on each shipment to the CISF and later to Yucca Mountain being about 6500 km (4040 miles). This is the combined distance between Maine Yankee and the CISF and the CISF and Yucca Mountain. Assuming 3200 shipments are made during the 40 year licensing period; this would result in a distance traveled of 20.8 million km (12 million miles) and a latent mortality of 2.7. The excess latent mortality for a single shipment would be 8.45E-4.

Page 1 of 22 Explanation of Transportation Analysis Collective and occupational doses were calculated for incident-free shipments between twelve shutdown reactor sites and the WCS Consolidated Interim Storage Facility (CISF) in Andrews County, Texas, and between the CISF and Yucca Mountain using risk factor output from RADTRAN 6 together with routing and population density output from WebTRAGIS. Doses were also calculated for shipments where an accident occurs.
RADTRAN is a computer code that allows the calculation of unit risk factors (URF) for the shipment of one SNF transport cask over one kilometer through a population density of one person per square kilometer. User input parameters are used to define the characteristics of the cask, route and source terms for a shipment. The URF differs for rural, suburban and urban route segments due to differences in environmental shielding. The URF values are output in RADTRAN 6 as values for rural, suburban or urban route segments and have the units of person-rem per kilometer per person-per-square-kilometer.
WebTRAGIS is a computer code that allows determination of route length and state-level population density for rural, suburban, and urban route segments. ISP used the RADTRAN 1 mile (1.6 kilometers) transport corridor width (0.5 miles on each side of the vehicle). To calculate collective dose, the URF calculated by RADTRAN was multiplied by the length of the transport route and the population density from WebTRAGIS for rural, suburban, and urban route segments in an Excel spreadsheet. Collective doses calculated for routes between the twelve sites and the CISF and between Yucca Mountain and the CSIF were all of the same order of magnitude. The bounding collective dose was for the longest transport route, Maine Yankee Nuclear Power Plant to the WCS CISF, at approximately 4.36E-02 person-rem per shipment (8.73 person-rem for an annual shipment of 200 casks).
RADTRAN was also used to calculate occupational dose. Doses to inspectors, rail yard workers, and first responders were determined by inputting appropriate values into transport stops in the RADTRAN code. The main inputs for stops are distance from the source, exposure time, and number of persons exposed. Occupational dose to transport crews and escorts are determined by multiplying the URF for the crews by the route distance and number of persons. Escorts are assumed to have a 25% higher dose than crew because they have to be in line of sight to the SNF and have less shielding. Occupational doses calculated during incident-free shipment for the twelve sites to Yucca Mountain are small and remain bounded by the collective dose for the longest transport route, Maine Yankee Nuclear Power Plant to the WCS CISF.
Accidents with no release resulted in doses that are small, with first responders being the maximally-exposed individual (MEI) receiving an occupational dose of 1.60E-01 rem after 10 hours1.157407e-4 days <br />0.00278 hours <br />1.653439e-5 weeks <br />3.805e-6 months <br /> at 3 meters (see Table 4.2-10 of Section 4.2.7.2). Accidents with loss of shielding (LOS) resulted in a dose to the MEI of 8.1E-3 Sv (0.81 rem) per hour at 5 meters (LOS due to fire), or 7.1E-3 Sv (0.71 rem) per hour at 5 meters (LOS due to impact). Accidents with release result in an occupational dose to the MEI of 7.71 rem after 1 day within 33 meters. LOS Accident doses are included in Table 4.2-16 of Section 4.2.8.3.
For accidents with release, collective doses were also calculated. The internal collective dose was calculated by multiplying the transport accident rate, cask damage conditional probability, route length, population density, plume area of release and the sum of the internal doses (inhalation and re-suspension). The external collective dose was calculated by multiplying the This attachment has been completely replaced in response to multiple RAIs This attachment has been completely replaced in response to multiple RAIs

Release parameters were taken for casks sealed with elastomeric or metal O-rings with uncanisterized SNF, which is a very conservative approach for shipments of canisterized SNF since NUREG-2125 concluded that there would be no release from such casks.
The RADTRAN input parameters used in calculating the URF are shown in Table 4.1-1 with the exception of the radionuclide inventory values used in transportation accident release calculations which are included in Table 4.1-2. As described in Section 4.2.8.2 the radionuclides and values are based on a NUHOMS 61BT canister containing sixty-one 7x7 BWR assemblies in the NUHOMS MP197 shipping cask. The SNF has a burnup of 40,000 MWd/MTU, an initial average bundle enrichment of 3.3 weight percent and is 10 year cooled.
