Whether it is technically feasible to complete decommissioning within the allotted 24-month period. DHS 157.13(11)(k)2.2. Whether sufficient waste disposal capacity is available to allow completion of decommissioning within the allotted 24-month period. DHS 157.13(11)(k)3.3. Whether a significant volume reduction in wastes requiring disposal will be achieved by allowing short-lived radionuclides to decay. DHS 157.13(11)(k)4.4.
