Engineering feasibility studies for candidate salt domes: National Waste Terminal Storage Repository No. 1, Special Study No. 5. Technical report. [Surface and underground facilities]
Prior designs have been completed for National Waste Terminal Storage Repositories, based upon generic sites with representative characteristics. This study examines the engineering feasibility of constructing and operating such a repository in each of seven candidate domed salt sites. The engineering feasibility assessment is based upon existing repository designs and site-specific geotechnical and environmental data. A standarized surface and underground facilities arrangement was used for each site. Facility features are intended to be compatible with the characteristics specific to each site but not necessarily the optimum. Cost estimates are developed for each site. Recommended future programs are described to obtain additional data required to adequately characterize each site.
