The methods used to perform the analyses in the environmental impact statement have been refined in the time since the environmental assessment was prepared. This occurred partly because of the larger number of naval spent nuclear fuel assemblies analyzed and the wider scope of sites and methods of storage to be evaluated, and partly because additional time was available to implement the refinements. In addition to refinements in the methods for performing the calculations, some minor changes in the calculational models were made in order to establish a high degree of consistency with the analytical methods used for the other …

DOE acknowledges its responsibility to safely manage spent nuclear fuel (SNF). The Secretary of Energy has publicly affirmed that current DOE policy and practice emphasize safety and environmental considerations above other program goals. DOE is formally committed to protecting the safety and health of its workers, the public, and the environment. Furthermore, DOE intends to design, construct and operate facilities in a safe manner, relying on lessons learned from the last 40 years of SNF management. DOE is working to rectify and eliminate any adverse environmental impacts from past programs.

Per U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's guidance, each contaminant was categorized as carcinogenic or noncarcinogenic. Exposures to contaminants were then evaluated for potential health effects. The method used was dependent on whether the exposure was to the public or to a worker and whether the contaminant was classified as a carcinogen or a noncarcinogen. Health effects were reported separately and were not summed where distinctly different types of effects were reported for chemical exposures (that is, carcinogenic and noncarcinogenic).
