WHB/WTB SPACE PROGRAM ANALYSIS FOR SITE RECOMMENDATION
The purpose of this analysis is to identify and evaluate the functional space and spatial relationship requirements for the two main nuclear buildings, the Waste Handling Building (WHB) and the Waste Treatment Building (WTB), which are part of the Repository Surface Facilities. This analysis is consistent with the Development Plan for ''WHB/WTB Space Program Analysis for Site Recommendation'' (CRWMS M&O 2000r), which concentrates on the primary, primary support, facility support, and miscellaneous building support areas located in the WHB and WTB. The development plan was completed in accordance with AP-2.134, ''Technical Product Development Planning''. The objective and scope of this analysis is to develop a set of spatial parameters (e.g., square footage, room heights, etc.) and layout requirements (e.g., adjacency and access/circulation requirements, etc.) from which preliminary building floor plans are developed and presented as figures. The resulting figures will provide information to support the Site Recommendation and the total system life cycle cost. This analysis uses the Viability Assessment (VA) ''Surface Nuclear Facilities Space Program Analysis'' (SPA) (CRWMS M&O 1997c) as the baseline reference document and further develops the functional requirements based on Project-directed changes, including incorporation of a new design basis waste stream and the applicable elements of Enhanced Design Alternative (EDA)-II, as identified in the ''License Application Design Selection Report'' (CRWMS M&O 1999e), which followed the initial SPA (baseline). The impacts of the EDA-II were almost entirely to the WHB. To meet the EDA-II thermal requirements, hotter fuel would be handled, therefore requiring a fuel-blending pool to be added to the WHB in order to age the hotter he1 at the repository and provide for commercial spent nuclear fuel (CSNF) blending. In addition to EDA-II recommendations, the waste stream was modified, including the elimination of approximately 300 multi-purpose canisters from the CSNF schedule. The bases for the Monitored Geologic Repository (MGR) surface design changes, as a result of the waste stream changes, are defined in ''Calculations from Surface Facilities Operations in Support of the Revision to the Waste Quantity, Mix, and Throughput Study'' (CRWMS M&O 2000c, Section 2.4). This effort resulted in a reduction in the number of canister transfer lines from 2 to 1. In addition, as indicated in ''WITNESS Model Input for Thermal Blending of Commercial Spent Nuclear Fuel Assemblies'' (CRWMS M&O 19991), the quantity of dual-purpose canisters (DPCs) assumed to be shipped to the repository has been reduced by about 37 percent. This change resulted in a reduction of the number of Assembly Transfer System (ATS) lines in the WHB from 3 to 2. In summary, this analysis is intended to provide a preliminary level of design showing room square footages and heights associated with the WHB and WTB. These spatial dimensions are anticipated to increase or decrease as the design progresses.
