In mid-1992, the Yucca Mountain Site Characterization Project (YMP) initiated a performance based `Q` List development effort. This effort is intended to evolve a `Q` List based upon the quantitative technical characteristics of the engineered and natural features of the prospective Mined Geologic Disposal System (MGDS). The resulting `Q` List determinations will replace the existing list which was formulated on a very conservative basis because of the conceptual nature of the initial MGDS designs. The evolved, performance based `Q` List will enable the selection of the optimum set of controls to be employed during execution of activities associated with natural and engineered items comprising the MGDS.
