The waste handling building (WHB) at the Yucca Mountain repository is a reinforced concrete structure with massive shear walls whose thicknesses are established by shielding requirements. The probabilities of seismic damage to the WHB are calculated in this paper. To determine these probabilities, seismic hazard curves for the site and fragility curves for the building were developed and combined.
