Site selection and regulatory basis for the Yucca Mountain disposal system for spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste
This paper summarizes the historical events from the identification of the Yucca Mountain site in southern Nevada in 1978 to its selection by the US Congress as the sole site to characterize for a repository for spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste in 1987. Coincident with this selection process and later site characterization, the US spent from 1977 to 2009 establishing long-ter...
متن کاملHazards and scenarios examined for the Yucca Mountain disposal system for spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste
This paper summarizes various hazards identified between 1978 when Yucca Mountain, located in arid southern Nevada, was first proposed as a potential site and 2008 when the license application to construct a repository for spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste was submitted. Although advantages of an arid site are many, hazard identification and scenario development have generally...
متن کاملProgression of performance assessment modeling for the Yucca Mountain disposal system for spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste
This paper summarizes the evolution of consequence modeling for a repository for spent nuclear fuel and highlevel radioactive waste at Yucca Mountain in southern Nevada. The discussion includes four early performance assessments (PAs) conducted between 1982 and 1995 to support selection and to evaluate feasibility and three major PAs conducted between 1998 and 2008 to evaluate viability, recomm...
متن کاملSite characterization of the Yucca Mountain disposal system for spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste
This paper summarizes the investigations conducted to characterize the geologic barrier of the Yucca Mountain disposal system. Site characterization progressed through (1) non-intrusive evaluation and borehole completions to determine stratigraphy for site identification; (2) exploration from the surface through well testing to evaluate the repository feasibility; (3) underground exploration to...
متن کاملIs Yucca Mountain a long-term solution for disposing of US spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste?
On 26 January 2012, the Blue Ribbon Commission on America's Nuclear Future released a report addressing, amongst other matters, options for the managing and disposal of high-level waste and spent fuel. The Blue Ribbon Commission was not chartered as a siting commission. Accordingly, it did not evaluate Yucca Mountain or any other location as a potential site for the storage or disposal of spent...
