Draft Geologic Disposal Requirements Basis for STAD Specification
- Sandia National Lab. (SNL-NM), Albuquerque, NM (United States)
This document provides supporting technical rationale in draft form as input for: STAD Performance Specification Requirements Rationale (planned to be issued as FCRD-NFST-2015- 000106). The supporting rationale addresses those parts of the storage, transportation and disposal (STAD) canister performance specification that pertain to geologic disposal. These parts include service lifetime, repository thermal performance, postclosure criticality, and materials selection. Each draft performance specification is presented, and those pertaining to geologic disposal are elaborated with brief sections labeled Rationale. More detail is provided in appendices that address: long-term performance of borated stainless steel, use of borated stainless steel in existing designs, recommendations for additional corrosion studies, stress corrosion cracking of canister shell materials, and a generic postclosure safety case for STAD canisters.
