Anderson, W J

Technical information in the form of waste package design guidelines for a repository in basalt are needed to support the National Waste Terminal Storage (NWTS) waste package design effort. The guidelines are based on results of the BWIP repository design, site characterization and waste package studies. Discussions of factors to be considered in waste package design approaches are provided, along with preferred and undesirable approaches identified during BWIP studies. 9 refs., 6 figs., 1 tab.
