Abstraction of Drift Seepage

Abstraction of Drift Seepage

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.

WHF and RF Thermal Evaluation

WHF and RF Thermal Evaluation
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.
