Davis, J D

This report presents the methodology to complete an assessment of post-closure performance under disruption scenario conditions for a proposed repository for high-level nuclear waste at the Hanford Site, Washington State. The methodology consists of defensible techniques for identifying and screening disruption scenarios, and for then assessing the assessment. The results of the disruption scenario analysis and the nominal-case performance assessment are combined to comprehensively determine system performance for evaluation of compliance with post-closure performance criteria. 49 refs., 24 figs., 1 tab.
