Conceptual waste package interim performance specifications for waste forms for geologic isolation in salt repositories

Technical Report · Wed Jun 01 00:00:00 EDT 1983

OSTI ID:6375767

The interim performance specifications and data requirements presented are applicable to all types of radioactive wastes prepared for disposal in salt geologic repositories. In this document, an interim numerical value is provided for only one waste-form parameter - the waste-form release rate. This is the key waste-form parameter affecting waste isolation, and is defined here for spent fuel, defense high-level waste (HLW), and commercial HLW. The waste-form performance specifications and data requirements respond to the waste package performance criteria. Subject areas treated include: containment and controlled release, operational period safety, criticality control, identification, and waste-package performance testing requirements. This document was generated for use in the development of conceptual waste-package designs in salt. It will be revised as additional data, analyses, and regulatory requirements become available.
