Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:59022
The Nevada Nuclear Waste Storage Investigations (NNWSI) consist of a variety of studies and evaluations in support of the US Nuclear Waste Management Program. The NNWSI are primarily oriented towards developing or improving the technology of nuclear waste storage and disposal and determining whether selected underground rock media on or adjoining the Nevada Test Site (NTS) are technically acceptable for a licensed, permanent, high-level nuclear waste repository. The NNWSI Project for FY 1980 is comprised of eight tasks which are divided into subtasks: weapons test seismic investigations, geologic and hydrologic investigations, media investigations, engineering and technical support, quality assurance, technical review, Climax spent fuel test, and National Waste Terminal Storage Program support.
