Abstract

The updated Hanford Site Composite Analysis (CA) (DOE/RL-2019-52, Composite Analysis for Low-Level Waste Disposal in the Hanford Site Central Plateau (FY 2020)) provides an all-pathways dose projection to a hypothetical future member of the public from all planned low-level radioactive waste disposal facilities and potential contributions from all other projected end-state sources of radioactive material left at the Hanford Site following site closure. Its primary purpose is to support the decision-making process of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) under DOE O 435.1-1, Radioactive Waste Management, related to managing low-level waste disposal facilities at the Hanford Site. A key aspect of conducting a CA is selecting the radionuclides to be analyzed. This document describes the selection process for radionuclides to be included in the quantitative analysis.
