Exploratory shaft location documentation report
The purpose of this report is to describe and document the process that involved locating, relocating, and designing the exploratory shafts for site characterization at the Yucca Mountain site. In a broad sense, the contents of the report have been developed to reflect several topics including the guidance provided by DOE-HQ to the NNWSI Project; the interaction between DOE-HQ and the NNWSI Project during the course of reaching major milestone decisions; the process and considerations that formed the basis for locating, relocating, and designing the ES(s), the review of those considerations, and the associated interface with quality assurance (QA); the interactions among DOE-HQ, the NNWSI Project, and the NRC that had impact on the location, function, and design of the ES and the exploratory shaft facility (ESF); and the impact of the course of events in the NWTS Program on the activities of the NNWSI Project since its inception in FY 1977.
