Inadvertent intrusion by exploratory drilling is a credible disruptive event that could lead to a release of radioactivity to the accessible environment from the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) site in southeastern New Mexico. Since all credible disruptive events and processes must be considered in determining compliance with US EPA standards for disposal of high-level and transuranic wastes, preliminary assessments of the performance of the WIPP system have necessarily examined the consequences and probabilities of scenarios that involve intrusion by exploratory drilling during a 10,000-yr period following site closure.
