Analysis of Vertical Velocities from BARGEN Continuous GPS Data at Yucca Mountain, Southern Nevada

We present vertical velocity results for the continuous GPS network located in the region of Yucca Mountain, southern Nevada. Based on local and regional tectonics, we hypothesize that vertical velocities at Yucca Mountain are likely to be very small. Data from the network, from May 1999 to January 2003, was processed using the GIPSY-OASIS II software, with ambiguities resolved on a line-by-lin...

Parallel computing simulation of fluid flow in the unsaturated zone of Yucca Mountain, Nevada.

This paper presents the application of parallel computing techniques to large-scale modeling of fluid flow in the unsaturated zone (UZ) at Yucca Mountain, Nevada. In this study, parallel computing techniques, as implemented into the TOUGH2 code, are applied in large-scale numerical simulations on a distributed-memory parallel computer. The modeling study has been conducted using an over-1-milli...

Simulation of Two-phase Carbon-14 Transport at Yucca Mountain, Nevada

In support of Pacific Northwest Laboratory's (PNL) preliminary total system performance assessment of the proposed high-level nuclear-waste repository at Yucca Mountain, transport of carbon-14 (Cl4) in the unsaturated zone was numerically modeled with the Multiphase Subsurface Transport Simulator (MSTS). Total system performance assessments are being conducted to estimate potential cumulative r...

Subject: Time Span for Compliance of the Proposed High-level Waste Repository at Yucca Mountain, Nevada

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has received the attached report from its Advisory Committee on Nuclear Waste. The report, in the form of a letter, provides comments on establishing a time span for compliance of the proposed high-level waste repository at Yucca Mountain, Nevada, with regulatory standards. The purpose of this letter is to communicate the Advisory Committee on Nuclear Waste's (...
