Preliminary comparison with 40 CFR Part 191, Subpart B for the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant. Volume 2: Probability and consequence modeling
This second volume documents the probability and consequence modeling done by the Performance Assessment Division of Sandia National Laboratories for the 1991 preliminary performance assessment (PA) of the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP). The volume provides an overview of the PA calculations; discusses the mechanics of the probability modeling and construction of the complementary cumulative distribution functions (CCDFs); discusses the generic computational models and the applied (or site-specific) models used in consequence analysis and the results that these models predict for both undisturbed conditions (base case) and disturbed conditions (in which one or more hypothetical boreholes intrude the repository during the 10,000-year regulatory period); and tabulates the calculational results used to construct the CCDFs reported in Volume 1. 87 figs., 18 tabs.
