20% of this, and further assuming that waste disposal should cost not more than 
20% of the reprocessing, we can calculate that the cost of waste disposal should 
be approximately 0.32 mils per kwh of electricity. If the reactor-power plant 
combination operates at 25% thermal efficiency, 4 kwh of heat must be produced 
per kwh of electricity. Thus heat must be produced for 2 mils/kwh; the 
waste disposal cost should be approximately 0.08 mils /kwh of heat. To produce 
1 kwh of heat 4-2 x 107° em SP!) were ee Se Assuming that the process 
produces 2 gals of waste per gram of ys? burned, then the cost of waste disposal 
should not exceed $1.00 per gallon. This figure may be representative for 
wastes from a non-salted solvent extraction process. For a salted process, or 
one where the fuel provides large quantities of dead salts, wastes may be 
produced at the rate of 5 gal/gn ys? burned, which would decrease the allowable 
cost to $0.40 per gallon. If wastes contain 400 curies per gallon the per curie 
cost would be 0.25 cents and 0.10 cents per curie.
