This document describes the identification, evaluation, and selection of models required to assess the effects of radionuclide releases from low-level waste facilities. The document also demonstrates how these models can be integrated into a performance assessment methodology for use by the NRC in evaluating license applications for disposal of low-level waste. 85 refs., 9 figs., 8 tabs.
