Reference nuclear waste descriptions for a geologic repository at Yucca Mountain, Nevada

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:59601

This report describes the reference wastes to be used as a basis for the conceptual design of a geologic repository being considered for location in the tuff formations at Yucca Mountain, in Nye County, Nevada. Waste characteristics and production rates are taken from a DOE guidance document (OGR/B-2) entitled "Generic Requirements for a Mined Geologic Disposal System;" this information is recast as waste receival and emplacement schedules to be used in the design of repository facilities and equipment and as input to the timetable for underground development. 1 fig., 2 tabs.
