Dissolved Concentration Limits of Elements with Radioactive Isotopes
Dissolved Concentration Limits of Elements with Radioactive Isotopes
The purpose of this study is to evaluate dissolved concentration limits (also referred to as solubility limits) of elements with radioactive isotopes under probable repository conditions, based on geochemical modeling calculations using geochemical modeling tools, thermodynamic databases, field measurements, and laboratory experiments.
EQ6 calculations for Chemical Degradation of Navy Waste Packages
EQ6 calculations for Chemical Degradation of Navy Waste Packages
The Monitored Geologic Repository Waste Package Operations of the Civilian Radioactive Waste Management System Management & Operating Contractor (CRWMS M&O) performed calculations to provide input for disposal of spent nuclear fuel (SNF) from the Navy (Refs. 1 and , 2). The Navy SNF has been considered for disposal at the potential Yucca Mountain site. For some waste packages, the containment may breach (Ref. 3), allowing the influx of water. Water in the waste package may moderate neutrons, increasing the likelihood of a criticality event within the waste package.

Postclosure Analysis of the Range of Design Thermal Loadings
Postclosure Analysis of the Range of Design Thermal Loadings
This report presents a two-phased approach to develop and analyze a “thermal envelope” to represent the postclosure response of the repository to the anticipated range of repository design thermal loadings. In Phase 1 an estimated limiting waste stream (ELWS) is identified and analyzed to determine the extremes of average and local thermal loading conditions. The coldest thermal loading condition is represented by an emplacement drift loaded exclusively with high-level radioactive waste (HLW) and/or defense spent nuclear fuel (DSNF).
Qualification of Thermodynamic Data for Geochemical Modeling of Mineral–Water Interactions in Dilute Systems
Qualification of Thermodynamic Data for Geochemical Modeling of Mineral–Water Interactions in Dilute Systems
This report is developed from Technical Work Plan for: Thermodynamic Databases for Chemical Modeling (BSC 2006 [DIRS 177885]). The purpose of this analysis report is to update the thermochemical database data0.ymp.R4 (Output DTN: SN0410T0510404.002). Various data have been added, corrected, or corroborated, partly in response to four Condition Reports (CRs): CR 6489, CR 6731, CR 7542, and CR 7756. The most notable changes are a general revision of phosphate data to achieve consistency with the recommendations from the Committee on Data for Science and Technology (CODATA) (Cox. et al.
In-Drift Precipitates/Salts Model
In-Drift Precipitates/Salts Model
This report documents the development and validation of the in-drift precipitates/salts (IDPS) process model. The IDPS process model is a geochemical model designed to predict the postclosure effects of evaporation and deliquescence on the chemical composition of water within the Engineered Barrier System (EBS) in support of the total system performance assessment (TSPA). Application of the model in support of TSPA is documented in Engineered Barrier System: Physical and Chemical Environment (BSC 2005 [DIRS 175083]).
Engineered Barrier System: Physical and Chemical Environment
Engineered Barrier System: Physical and Chemical Environment
The purpose of this model report is to describe the evolution of the physical and chemical environmental conditions within the waste emplacement drifts of the repository, including the drip shield and waste package surfaces. This report documents the development of a new process-level model, the near-field chemistry (NFC) model, and develops two abstraction models.
