Nuclear waste management
The Nuclear Waste Management Group`s primary mission is to manage projects sponsored by the DOE Office of Civilian Radioactive Waste Management (OCRWM) through the Nevada Nuclear Waste Storage Investigations, Salt Repository Project, Repository Technology Program and Basalt Waste Isolation Program offices. The technical activities are carried out jointly with other groups in the Earth Sciences Department, with other divisions and departments at LLNL, and with contractors. The OCRWM program at LLNL comprises three major activities plus support to the DOE in additional areas. These activities are the design and evaluation of a waste package for a tuff repository; the improvement, use and maintenance of the geochemical code, EQ 3/6; and the Spent Fuel Test - Climax. This paper describes activities in waste package research and development, geochemical modeling, the Spent Fuel Test-Climax, and Canadian cooperative technology. A list of recent publications is given. 32 references.
