Cost-benefit assessment methodology for seismic design of high-level waste repository facilities

Conference ·
OSTI ID:137494

This paper summarizes a methodology for performing a cost-benefit assessment of the seismic design of the surface facilities associated with the prospective high-level waste repository at Yucca Mountain, NV. The methodology described will develop the costs and benefits of varying design levels for vibratory ground motion and surface fault displacements for structures, components, and equipment in the repository facilities. 2 refs., 1 fig.
