Yucca Mountain, Nevada, located on the border of the Nevada Test Site in Nye County, is under consideration as a prospective commercial nuclear waste repository for spent nuclear fuel and other high-level radioactive waste. This paper studies the effect that diurnal and seasonal temperature cycles and barometric pressure perturbations have on near-surface flow and transport conditions at Yucca Mountain, both without and with the repository in place. The potential near-surface temperature increase as a direct result of an emplaced repository is also examined.
