The bulk of the analysis in the report will consider only the reference bundles; however the bounding bundles will be used to show the range in fuel activity and radiotoxicity in Section 3. [...] As such, CCME (2021a, 2021b, 2021c, and 2021d) are the primary references and constitute the suite of guidelines offered by the CCME (i.e., Water Quality Guidelines for the Protection of Aquatic Life, Water Quality Guidelines for the Protection of Agriculture, Soil Quality Guidelines for the Protection of Environmental and Human Health, and Sediment Quality Guidelines for the Protection of Aquatic. [...] FUEL ACTIVITY AND RADIOTOXICITY In this section of the report the fuel activity and radiotoxicity are presented considering the full suite of radionuclides present in the fuel for Heckman and Edward (2020). [...] One of the most important factors in postclosure safety assessments is the mobility of a species in the engineered barrier system and the geosphere. [...] The notes in Table 5 identifies the type of radionuclide (actinide, fission product, activated light element), if the radionuclide is a member of a decay chain, and if the radionuclide has a significant contribution to the inventory in the bundle from the zircaloy cladding (>5% of the total bundle inventory).
