Total System Model Version 6.0 Validation Report

This validation report supports the issuance of the Total System Model (TSM) Version 6.0 (Bechtel SAIC, LLC (BSC) 2007a) that is described in the TSM User Manual (UM) (BSC 2007b) and the TSM Pre-Processor (TSMPP) UM (BSC 2007c), and other supporting documentation in References BSC 2007d, BSC 2007e, 2007f, and 2007g. This report assumes the reader has detailed, working knowledge of the TSM functions and Civilian Radioactive Waste Management System (CRWMS) operations.
The validation for TSM V5.0 that also included the validation for the use of SimCAD™ Version 7.1 is in Reference BSC 2007h. The validation method used for TSM V6.0 was considerably different than that used for TSM V5.0 so this validation report cannot be viewed as an update or a change to the TSM V5.0 validation report.
The modifications to prepare TSM V6.0 began with TSM V5.0 and the simulation file name was modified to V6.0A1 in April 2007. Revisions and refinements continued as discussed in this report culminating in V6.0F7 in October 2007. V6.0F7 was then designated and issued as TSM V6.0. Version numbers and letters were changed at the discretion of the TSM developers depending on the depth and extent of the change as in previous modifications and code development.
There were various checks of TSM elements such as the TSM Report Generators (RG) and transportation module as development progressed. These validations are documented in References BSC 2007i and BSC 2007j.
This validation was performed in accordance with AP-ENG-006, Total System Model (TSM)- Changes to Configuration Items and Base Case.
