OSTI ID:60514
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has proposed a Rule (10CFR60) which specifies criteria for disposal of high-level radioactive wastes (HLW) in geologic repositories. The Sandia National Laboratories (SNLA) was funded by the NRC to provide information that NRC could use: to evaluate the rationale for the technical requirements in the Rule, to respond to public comments on the proposed Rule, and to analyze the benefits of alternative criteria for the final Rule. Detailed analyses of the three numerical criteria pertaining to a containment period, a controlled release rate, and a pre-waste emplacement ground-water travel time have been reported in Volume I. A panel of experts was formed to address and debate the issues relating to the requirements contained in the proposed Rule. A set of questions, prepared by the NRC, was posed to the panel as a whole and a number of panel meetings were held to address those questions in a general manner. In addition, each non-SNLA panel member was assigned one (or more) specific topic(s) according to his area of expertise for a more detailed investigation. This document, Volume II, is a compilation of topical contractor reports submitted by the various panel members. The topical reports that deal with the numerical criteria (Appendices I, J, and K) also contain discussions on the interpretation, achievability, and assessment of compliance with respect to the criterion being investigated. Many of the recommendations contained in Volume I are based on these topical reports.
