Scenario development for the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant Compliance Certification Application
Demonstrating compliance with the applicable regulations for the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) requires an assessment of the Iong-term performance of the disposal system. Scenario development is one starting point of this assessment, and generates inqui~ about the present state and fiture evolution of the disposal system. Scenario development consists of four tasks: (i) identi&ing and clas...
متن کاملThe 1996 performance assessment for the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant
The following topics related to radionuclide and colloid transport in the Culebra Dolomite in the 1996 performance assessment for the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) are presented: (i) mathematical description of models; (ii) uncertainty and sensitivity analysis results arising from subjective (i.e. epistemic) uncertainty for individual releases; and (iii) construction of complementary cumul...
متن کاملWaste Isolation Pilot Plant Disposal Room Model
This paper describes development of the conceptual and mathematical models for the part of the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) repository performance assessment that is concerned with what happens to the waste over long times after the repository is decommissioned. These models, collectively referred to as the "The Disposal Room Model," describe the repository closure process during which de...

متن کاملOverview of Performance Assessment for the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant
The Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) has been developed by the U.S. Department of Energy for the geologic (deep underground) disposal of transuranic waste. Compliance with the containment requirements is demonstrated by means of performance assessment (PA). The term PA signifies an analysis that 1) identifies the features, processes and events (FEPs) that might affect the disposal system; 2) ...
