Technical Report · Fri Jan 01 04:00:00 EST 1982

OSTI ID:6569249

This report describes the technical accomplishments during the period from April through June 1982 on the commercial nuclear waste management programs under the direction of the Office of Nuclear Waste Isolation (ONWI). This office has lead responsibilities in the National Waste Terminal Storage program structure for oversight and for development of the general technology, and for geologic exploration of non-DOE land. A project management group, ONWI directs and evaluates studies, research, and development performed by subcontractors on repository sites and designs. The scope of ONWI activities includes providing the technology and facilities for the terminal isolation of these wastes by disposal in mined repositories deep underground in stable geologic formations. The ONWI program is organized into eight tasks: Systems; Waste Package; Site; Repository; Regulatory and Institutional; Test Facilities and Excavations; Land Acquisition; and Program Management. The accomplishments in each of these tasks are reported.
