OSTI ID:5613354

This report describes the technical accomplishments during the period from January through March 1983, on the commercial nuclear waste management programs under the direction of the US Department of Energy (DOE), National Waste Terminal Storage Program Office (NPO), Office of Nuclear Waste Isolation (ONWI). The scope of the National Waste Terminal Storage (NWTS) repository development effort includes comprehensive geologic exploration, technology development, equipment testing, and model verification activities, as well as the design, licensing, construction, operation, and decommissioning activities required to provide geologic repositories and spent fuel handling and packaging facilities. The ONWI program is organized into eight tasks, each one being a level-two element of the ONWI Contract Work Breakdown Structure (CWBS). These tasks are: systems, waste package, site, repository, regulatory and institutional, test facilities and excavations, land, and program management. This quarterly report reviews progress in each of these tasks.
