Technical Report · Thu Oct 01 04:00:00 EDT 1987

OSTI ID:7179540

This Interim Design Review Findings Report contains the results of the review, the Design Review Board (DRB) conclusions and recommended future actions, the technical checklist, and required supporting documentation. Brief descriptions of the major issues raised during the 60% design review are: a definite need for greater ICWG participation and active direction in the design process; approval and issuance of the ESF Vulnerability Study; inclusion of an alternative to concrete blocks in the design of the preliminary liner in salt; development of achievable excavation specifications and criteria to be used during shaft sinking; development of ground support plan that is flexible to the needs of the testing requirements; decision to either retain or eliminate shaft liner ''D'' in the lower salt section of the shafts and decision to either retain or eliminate mechanical cooling of the ESF underground ventilation air.
