【 摘 要 】

In February 1997, the U.S. Department of Energy, Nevada Operations Office issued the Mitigation Action Plan which addressed potential impacts described in the ''Final Environmental Impact Statement for the Nevada Test Site and Off-Site Locations in the State of Nevada'' (DOE/EIS 0243). The U.S. Department of Energy, Nevada Operations Office committed to several actions, including the preparation of an annual report, which summarizes waste shipments to and from the Nevada Test Site (NTS) Radioactive Waste Management Sites (RWMSs) at Area 3 and Area 5. This document satisfies requirements with regard to low-level radioactive waste (LLW) and mixed low-level radioactive waste (MLLW) transported to or from the NTS during fiscal year (FY) 2005. In addition, this document provides shipment, volume, and route information on transuranic (TRU) waste shipped from the NTS to the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) in Carlsbad, New Mexico. This outbound shipping campaign commenced in FY 2004. This report has been prepared in accordance with the specifications contained in Section 4.1.1 (Commitments) of the ''NTS Environmental Impact Statement, Mitigation Action Plan'' (February 1997). Tabular summaries are provided which include the following data: (1) Sources of and carriers for LLW and MLLW shipments to or from the NTS; (2) Number and external volume of LLW and MLLW shipments; (3) Identification of highway routes used by carriers; and (4) Incident/accident data applicable to LLW and MLLW shipments.
