Groundwater flow through the unsaturated and saturated zones at Yucca Mountain has been modeled in support of the groundwater travel time regulations for the Department of Energy`s Yucca Mountain Site Characterization Project. Flow in the unsaturated zone was modeled using two conceptual models to test alternative methods of generating fast flow paths. Groundwater travel times from the potential repository location to the accessible environment range from less than 1,000 years to much more than 10,000 years, depending on the hydraulic properties of the rock units.
