Initial Site-Specific De-Inventory Report for Big Rock Point Report No.: RPT-3014537-002
The main steps of the MUA applied to the routes from the BRP ISFSI are identified in Figure 5-1 and are as follows: 1. Identified the potential modes and routes for transporting the TS125s from the BRP ISFSI site, see Section 3.0. 2. Due to the larger number of potential routes identified in Step 1 from the BRP ISFSI site, a set of screening criteria was developed to reduce the number of routes per mode to a limited group for further evaluation; see Section 3.5 (if this step were not performed then the pairwise evaluations of the routes by metric will be cumbersome due to the number of evaluations that would need to be performed). 3. Identified the general attributes associated with the routes and the activity of shipping the TS125s from the BRP ISFSI site; see Section 5.3.1. 4. For each identified attribute, identified the metrics that describe performance measures, which could contrast one mode and route from another; see Section 5.3.1. 5. Considering the limited list of routes to be evaluated, examined each attribute’s metrics and identified the ones that could tangibly differ between two or more of these modes and routes; see Section 5.3.1. 6. Each team member performed a pairwise comparison between each of the tangible metrics, which was subsequently quantified and resulted in a relative ranking of the metrics based on individual ratings and were also combined to establish a weight for each of the tangible metrics based on an equivalent team rating; see Section 5.3.2 (the individual rankings also provided the basis for the sensitivity analyses). 7. The collective team performed another pairwise comparison between the tangible metrics for each route (to ensure the SMEs’ preferences were incorporated and not diluted by the ratings of other individuals) and the results were quantified and evaluated to establish a relative ranking of each of the routes based on SME ratings; see Section 5.3.3. 8. Finally, sensitivity analyses were performed to examine the sensitivity of the ranking to different weighting of the tangible metrics; this includes evaluating the metric weights at the minimum and maximum values identified by the individual members of the team; see Section 5.3.4. Details of the analyses and the results produced from each of these steps are described in the following portion of this section of the report.
