Highlights of LLW, MLLW, and TRU(M) Waste Forecast
- No waste is included in the baseline forecast for the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC). The maximum forecast estimate includes 530 m³ of LLW_I.
- The forecast life cycle starts in FY2008 and ends in FY2035.
- All of the waste forecast by this generator is LLW_I.
- The FY2008.0 and FY2007.0 baseline forecasts both assume Hanford will not accept offsite waste.

Comparison to Previous Baseline(s)
- The FY2008.0 and FY2007.0 baseline forecasts both assume Hanford will not accept offsite waste.
Background
The Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) is a national laboratory operated by Stanford University for the U.S. Department of Energy. SLAC research facilities study the effects of electron-positron collisions to better understand the nature of the atomic nucleus and the relationship of subatomic particles. LLW is generated during normal operation of the accelerator in which some electrons may strike beam line components. When electrons strike the pipe and components, radioactive nuclei can be produced in the material. Radioactive waste is generated when activated and/or contaminated components undergo maintenance, repair, and/or replacement. This waste is produced on an irregular basis due to the nature of operations, and as such the production of LLW is not a planned activity.
Forecast Assumptions and Comments
SLAC assumes that radioactive waste generation/disposal will remain consistent with past rates due to the following:
- no scheduled facility closure, and,
- DOE funding supports SLAC waste disposal program at its present capabilities.
Waste Characteristic Data
Because no waste is included in the baseline forecast for SLAC, no waste class data are presented here.
Radionuclide Data
Because no waste is included in the baseline forecast for SLAC, no radionuclide data are presented here.Other Forecast Data
Hazardous Waste
- No hazardous waste has been forecasted by this generator.
