This report describes conceptual designs for a DGR facility in either crystalline or sedimentary rock. For costing purposes, it is assumed that the facility will receive 5.5 million used CANDU fuel bundles over a 46-year period. The report describes the required facilities and infrastructure needed to safely receive, package, and emplace the used nuclear fuel in the underground repository. At the end of emplacement activities and following a period of extended monitoring the DGR facility will be decommissioned and closed. All underground rooms, tunnels and the three shafts will be permanently sealed.
