Marty,

    Our (SAIC) rerort was completed in1982, and submitted to DOE/NVOO, where

it died.

Citation for this report is:



Cohen, JJ, "A Review of Information Related to Required Isolation Periods

for High-Level Radioactive Waste", SAI/PL-82-23, Science Applications, Inc.

report to US Dept. of Energy (Contract No. De-AC05-810R-20837) December,

1982



A review of this work was later presented at the Waste Management '89

meeting in Tucson. This citation is:



Cohen, JJ, G.R. Daer, C.F. Smith, D.K. Vogt, and S.W. Woolfolk, " An

Assessment of Issues Related  to Determination of Time Periods for Isolation

of High-Level Waste"

Waste Management '89, U. of Arizona, (March, 1989)

note: this paper cites several of the other sudies I refered to



    During the study, we were able to identify several naturally-occuring

mineral formations in the state of Nevada (arsenic, selenium, etc.) that

posed a far more serious threat to health and environment than the Yucca

Mtn. reporitory would. We wanted to pursue study along these lines, but DOE

determined that such information would be irrelevant.           Jerry
