Thanks for the writeup! I am confused why the the revenue per gallon for grouting the offgas effluent is $40-45 but the supplemental LAW would be $100/gallon. Are these streams being treated the same way? What's the reason for the difference?
Answering my own question. According to the VIC writeup author its a more complicated process and it needs storage. "PESI charges $100 p/gallon for this waste stream rather than $45 bc they perform more complicated leaching & cleaning processes since the waste carries a greater concentration of radioactive elements. They also store it at a 3rd party site." The storage cost results in a lower incremental margin of 65%.
