The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is preparing to begin work on a facility that is a unique underground structure. We are proposing a mined facility under Yucca Mountain, Nevada, that is unorthodox due to its role in predicting what will occur at the site over the course of 10,000 years. The Yucca Mountain facility will be a first-of-its-kind construction project designed for utting edge subsurface geologic investigations. This paper describes testing programs and other preliminary measures needed for the development of the Yucca Mountain facility.
