The US Dept. of Energy (DOE) is developing plans for the characterization of its candidate repository sites in salt, basalt, and tuff. These plans must be founded on detailed and integrated strategies that outline the data to be acquired, the analytic and numerical models to be developed, and the designs to be completed in order to determine if a repository can be shown to be suitable at each of the candidate sites. The strategies developed for site characterization must initially account for all performance requirements imposed on the disposal system. These requirements are substantially reflected within the standards of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA; 40CFR191) and the implementing regulations of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC; 10CFR60). The strategies, in combination with the available geoscience and engineering information, must then establish the manner in which performance is to be allocated to subparts of the disposal system.
