Wellbore Flow Treatment Used to Predict Radioactive Brine Releases to the Surface from Future Drilling Penetrations into th Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP), New Mexico, USA

Conference Hadgu, T ; O'Brien, D G ; Stoelzel, D M ; ...

The Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) is the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) mined geologic repository in southeastern New Mexico, USA. This site is designed for the permanent burial of transuranic radioactive waste generated by defense related activities. The waste produces gases when exposed to brine. This gas generation may result in increased pressures over time. Thereforq a future driller that unknowingly penetrates through the site may experience a blowout This paper describes the methodology used to predict the resultant volumes of contaminated brine released to the surface.

Development of scenarios for long-term release of radionuclides from the proposed waste isolation pilot plant in southeastern New Mexico

Conference Bingham, F W ; Barr, G E

As fault-tree analysis had its faults, the WIPP group switched its attention to the construction of event trees and of scenarios from the cut sets of these event trees. The scenarios were grouped into three classes for computer modeling: those that expose waste directly to the biosphere, those that begin with water flow between two aquifers at the site, and those that begin with water flow from only one aquifer. Each of the scenarios can be modeled by one of four general models. The current analyses of the long-term effects of the WIPP repository are derived from these models. Predictedmore »« less

Combining scenarios in a calculation of the overall probability distribution of cumulative releases of radioactivity from the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant, southeastern New Mexico

Technical Report Tierney, M S

The Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP), in southeastern New Mexico, is a research and development facility to demonstrate safe disposal of defense-generated transuranic waste. The US Department of Energy will designate WIPP as a disposal facility if it meets the US Environmental Protection Agency's standard for disposal of such waste; the standard includes a requirement that estimates of cumulative releases of radioactivity to the accessible environment be incorporated in an overall probability distribution. The WIPP Project has chosen an approach to calculation of an overall probability distribution that employs the concept of scenarios for release and transport of radioactivity tomore »« less
