WHF and RF Thermal Evaluation

WHF and RF Thermal Evaluation

Author(s)
Bechtel SAIC Company, LLC
Publication Date
The purpose of this analysis is to estimate the peak fuel assembly cladding temperature within the transportation casks that will be received in the WHF and RF, and to compare this value with established temperature limits. Thermally limiting scenarios are evaluated for both normal and off-normal operating conditions, with the off-normal condition defined as a loss of active ventilation. A second purpose of this analysis is to identify a specific room in the surface facilities as thermally limiting of all the rooms, with respect to the potentially highest temperatures on the concrete walls.

Abstraction of Drift Seepage

Abstraction of Drift Seepage

Author(s)
Bechtel SAIC Company, LLC
Publication Date

This model report documents the abstraction of drift seepage, conducted to provide seepage relevant parameters and their probability distributions for use in Total System Performance Assessment for License Application (TSPA-LA). Drift seepage refers to the flow of liquid water into waste emplacement drifts.

Evaluation of Waste Stream Receipt Scenarios for Repository Loading

Author(s)
Bechtel SAIC Company, LLC
Publication Date

The purpose of this calculation is to simulate the processing of an incoming waste stream into waste packages, simulating the required aging as applicable, and the emplacement of the waste packages into the Yucca Mountain repository.

JOINT CONVENTION ON THE SAFETY OF SPENT FUEL MANAGEMENT AND ON THE SAFETY OF RADIOACTIVE WASTE MANAGEMENT SECOND NATIONAL REPORT

SED Publication Type

JOINT CONVENTION ON THE SAFETY OF SPENT FUEL MANAGEMENT AND ON THE SAFETY OF RADIOACTIVE WASTE MANAGEMENT SECOND NATIONAL REPORT

Author
National Atomic Energy Commission
Publication Date

This report describes the actions taken in Argentina on the safety of spent fuel management
(SF) and on the safety of radioactive waste management, in order to provide evidence of the
fulfillment of its obligations under the Joint Convention. To facilitate the reading and a better
understanding of this report a summary of those parts of the 1st Report that were considered
necessary have been included.

JOINT CONVENTION ON THE SAFETY OF SPENT FUEL MANAGEMENT AND ON THE SAFETY OF RADIOACTIVE WASTE MANAGEMENT THIRD NATIONAL REPORT

Author
National Atomic Energy Commission
Publication Date

The present National Report describes the actions taken in Argentina on the safety of spent fuel
(SF) management and on the safety of radioactive waste (RW) management, in order to provide
evidence of the fulfilment of the obligations derived from the Joint Convention. To facilitate the
reading and a better understanding, it has been decided to include a summary of those parts of
the two prior National Reports that are considered necessary in order to comply with this
objective.

Drift Scale THM Model

Drift Scale THM Model

Author(s)
Bechtel SAIC Company, LLC
Publication Date

This model report documents the drift scale coupled thermal-hydrological-mechanical (THM) processes model development and presents simulations of the THM behavior in fractured rock close to emplacement drifts. The modeling and analyses are used to evaluate the impact of THM processes on permeability and flow in the near-field of the emplacement drifts.

Thermal Management Flexibility Analysis

Thermal Management Flexibility Analysis

Author(s)
Sandia National Laboratories
Publication Date

The purpose of this report is to demonstrate that postclosure temperature limits can be met, and certain thermal characteristics of the postclosure thermal reference case can be preserved, with alternative thermal loading schemes. The analysis considers certain variations from the base case.waste stream, the predicted postclosure temperatures that develop within the rock mass due to these waste stream variations, and then compares these temperatures to postclosure temperature limits.

Waste Packages and Source Terms for the Commercial 1999 Design Basis Waste Streams

Waste Packages and Source Terms for the Commercial 1999 Design Basis Waste Streams

Author(s)
OCRWM
Publication Date

This calculation is prepared by the Monitored Geologic Repository Waste Package Requirements & Integration Department. The purpose of this calculation is to compile source term and commercial waste stream information for use in the analysis of waste package (WP) designs for commercial fuel. Information presented will consist of the number of WPs, source terms, metric tons of uranium, and the average characteristics of assemblies to be placed in each WP design. The source terms provide thermal output, radiation sources, and radionuclide inventories.
