Anderson, W J

The responsibility for waste package conceptual designs for all geologic media has been assigned to Westinghouse-Advanced Energy Systems Division (W-AESD) by the National Waste Terminal Storage (NWTS) Waste Package Program Office. The responsibility for insuring that the waste package designs are compatible with each candidate repository medium lies with the respective site project office. For the Basalt Waste Isolation Project (BWIP), this responsibility has been assigned to the Waste Package Department. Studies are being conducted within the Waste Package Department for which focus on the development of data and information needed to define the design requirements for waste packages to be emplaced in a repository constructed in the basalt. Functional and performance requirements are defined, along with environmental conditions and materials properties used for design.
