DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/837087· OSTI ID:837087

The purpose of this analysis is to identify conceptual design options for the emplacement ventilation system, specifically within the emplacement drifts. The designs are based on the Enhanced Design Alternative (EDA) II concept developed during the license application design selection exercise as described in the ''License Application Design Selection Report'' (CRWMS M&O 1999a) and in the emplacement drift ''Ventilation Model'' (CRWMS M&O 2000c). The scope of this analysis, as outlined in the development plan (CRWMS M&O 2000a), includes the following tasks: (1) Description of the air flow path in the emplacement drifts. (2) Examination of the exhaust options for air exiting the emplacement drifts. (3) Examination of the air control options in the emplacement drifts. (4) Discussion of following system components and structures: emplacement isolation doors, portable shadow shield and exhaust main partition. The objective of this analysis is to support site recommendation through input to the system description documents. Off-normal conditions are not discussed in this analysis.
