Abstract

The purpose of this calculation is to demonstrate that the preclosure performance objectives specified in 10 CFR 63.111(a) and 10 CFR 63.111(b) (Reference 2.2.1) have been met for the proposed design and operations in the geologic repository operations area (GROA) during normal operations and Category 1 event sequences, and following Category 2 event sequences. Category 1 event sequences are those natural and human-induced event sequences that are expected to occur one or more times before permanent closure of the repository. Category 2 event sequences are other event sequences that have at least one chance in 10,000 of occurring before permanent closure of the repository (10 CFR 63.2) (Reference 2.2.1). Event sequences that have less than one chance in 10,000 of occurring before permanent closure of the repository are designated as beyond Category 2 event sequences and are not analyzed for dose consequences.
