Deep Borehole Disposal Remediation Costs for Off-Normal Outcomes

Hardin, Ernest H.; Finger, John T.; Cochran, John R.

This memo describes rough-order-of-magnitude (ROM) cost estimates for a set of off-normal (accident) scenarios, as defined for two waste package emplacement method options for deep borehole disposal: drill-string and wireline. It summarizes the different scenarios and the assumptions made for each, with respect to fishing, decontamination, remediation, etc.
