OSTI ID:6270218

This report describes the technical accomplishments on the commercial nuclear waste management programs under the direction of the Office of Nuclear Waste Isolation (ONWI). The scope of ONWI activities includes providing the technology and facilities for the terminal isolation of nuclear wastes by disposal in mined repositories deep underground in geologic formations. Steps leading to the accomplishement of that purpose include: site exploration, characterization, and recommendation; design, licensing, construction, and operation of a commercial geologic repository; technology development to support these steps. The ONWI program is organized into the following eight tasks: systems; waste package; site; repository; regulatory and institutional; test facilities and excavations; land acquisition; and program management.
