@katyhuff

I read over the paper, and I was wondering if we can discuss some issues!

Again, Thank you greatly.

I read over the paper, and I was wondering if we can discuss some issues!

  • The third case, I feel like can cause confusion, maybe only discuss it in the beginning but not have it as one of the cases?

Sure.

  • In the 'Expediency' section, there's a citation 'doe_snf_plan?' that I'm not sure what you're referencing to.

Right. My bad. I meant this: http://www.energy.gov/sites/ prod/files/Strategy%20for%20the%20Management%20and%20Disposal%20of%20Used% 20Nuclear%20Fuel%20and%20High%20Level%20Radioactive%20Waste.pdf

It's now in zotero and a PR is submitted to include it in the bib file. I included it because it's reasonably bounding to note that DOE believes just siting and opening the interim repository will take 8+ (but the way I added it in was sloppy, we should explain the logic better, sorry to leave that unfinished.)

  • For the expediency section, wouldn't the Case 1 save 5 years..? and would it be too much to express that in terms of dollars?

Maybe my sentence structure wasn't clear. Case I is yucca mountain. Case II will take less time than Case I. The time is saved by not having to build a railroad or spent fuel handling infrastructure (and of course, 5 years is a guess, as we discussed before, we'll need to check how long that stuff actually takes to build). The clinton case is the case that saves time (no rail, no handling facilities need to be built) while yucca doesn't. Do you disagree? I would advise against turning it into dollars. The goal is to have a metric with a quantitative unit. Converting it to dollars will necessarily add uncertainty and doesn't have a benefit.

  • What do you think about concluding with a 'weighted calculation' of the metrics? I think it'd be a bit too much but I feel like the paper sort of ends abruptly.

Yes, definitely.

Again, Thank you greatly.
