Salt Repository Project. Technical progress report for the quarter, 1 April-30 June 1984

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6136045

This report describes the technical accomplishments during the period from April through June 1984, on the commercial nuclear waste management programs under the direction of the US Department of Energy (DOE), Salt Repository Project Office (SRPO), Office of Nuclear Waste Isolation (ONWI). ONWI's activities within the Salt Repository Project include comprehensive geologic exploration, technology development, equipment testing, and model verification activities, as well as work which supports the design, licensing, construction, operation, and decommissioning activities required to provide geologic repositories and spent fuel handling and packaging facilities. Work in other geologic media (basalt, tuff, and crystalline media such as granite) is carried on by other Office of Civilian Radioactive Waste Management (OCRWM) components. Additionally, development of the technology, methodology, and facilities for interim spent fuel storage, waste treatment, and waste transportation, which are interfacing activities with the terminal isolation activity in the national waste management program, is being carried out in other OCRWM efforts.
