the major HHT to rail transfer and the barge to rail transfer scenarios. As shown in this figure, the HHT to rail scenario appears to be the least complicated approach, with the minimum number of times a loaded TS125 cask is handled, whereas the barge scenario appears to be more complicated, with additional handling activities. The result of the assessment of the transportation routes is a listing of multiple viable routes with various attributes, both pro and con, that would require evaluation to identify the optimal and/or favored route to perform the shipment of the SNF and GTCC LLW from the BRP site. An MUA was selected as the means to assess the various routes and modes and identify a ranking of these routes. Due to the large number of routes and associated modes initially identified, performing the MUA would be burdensome, so initial screening criteria were established to allow for less attractive routes to be screened from further consideration based on attributes associated with a particular mode of transport (i.e., screening is performed only between routes associated with a particular mode of transport). These screening criteria were applied in Section 3.0 to reduce the number of identified routes to a manageable number of seven. After the participating entities were identified in Section 4.0, these seven routes and modes were evaluated using the MUA to identify a ranking of the routes for shipping the SNF and GTCC LLW from the BRP site to the hypothetical destination of GCUS by Class I rail in Section 5.0. Figure 1-2 provides an overview of the routes evaluated. Based on the results from the MUA, a concept of operations and recommended budget and spending plan are detailed for the highest ranked shipment route in Sections 6.0 and 7.0, respectively. This assessment also includes information on a security plan and procedures in Section 8.0 and an emergency response and preparedness plan for the prospective shipments in Section 9.0. Finally, Section 10.0 identifies the recommended next steps for the process of initiating the removal of the SNF and GTCC LLW from the BRP site.
