Nevada Nuclear Waste Storage Investigations. Radionuclide migration in tuff and granite: peer review documentation
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:59031
This document is a compilation of review comments on the tuff and granite radionuclide migration investigations. These investigations are being managed by the Nevada Nuclear Waste Storage Investigations (NNWSI). The principal NNWSI participants conducting the investigations in tuff are the Los Alamos National Laboratory, Sandia National Laboratories, and Argonne National Laboratory, and for granite, the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. These investigations will determine radionuclide migration/retardation in tuffaceous and granitic rocks in situ. The NNWSI are a part of the National Waste Terminal Storage (NWTS) Program of the US Department of Energy (DOE). The NNWSI are in the process of developing or improving the technology for high-level nuclear waste handling, containment, and isolation, and determining whether potentially suitable rock units on or adjoining the Nevada Test Site (NTS) are technically acceptable for a licensed, permanent nuclear waste repository. The review comments compiled in this document are the result of a peer review meeting conducted on August 18-19, 1980, at the DOE/NV building in Las Vegas, Nevada, The list of peer reviewers and the agenda for the review precede the review comments. The correspondence transmitting the reviews are presented in chronological order. The later review commentaries are those of the NNWSI Technical Project Officers representing the Los Alamos National Laboratory and the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. The final summary review commentary is that of the NNWSI Technical Overview Contractor, Sandia National Laboratories.
