Geoscience technical support for nuclear waste geologic repositories
The Geoscience Technical Support activities in the Geologic Repository Project (GRP) at LBL covered a range of reports and reviews in FY89, particularly reviews of Study Plans of the Yucca Mountain site and their associated Comment Resolution Workshops. LBL sought to be responsive and active in meeting DOE`s need for geoscience technical support for nuclear waste repositories. In addition, in consultation with DOE/HQ, the authors investigated and presented DOE with well-considered scientific inputs to program directions and new areas of needed work. This included the development of a white paper and proposed work plan on preclosure monitoring and performance confirmation that grew out of a request made by DOE to LBL to consider such studies for a repository in the unsaturated zone. This year also saw the beginning of a quality assurance program for GRP.
