Human intrusion into the potential repository at Yucca Mountain, Nevada, was modeled in the Total-System Performance Assessment (TSPA-91) recently completed for the Yucca Mountain Site Characterization Project Office of the U.S. Department of Energy. The scenario modeled assumed that the repository would be penetrated at random locations by a number of boreholes drilled using 20th-century rotary drilling techniques. The probabilities of this scenario occurring depend on several factors. For these analyses, it was assumed that there was a probability of 1.0 that people would be drilling at the site for 10,000 yr.
