Information base for waste repository design. Volume 7: Executive summary
Abstract
Studies in support of design performance criteria for radioactive waste repositories were performed to develop information bases concerning shaft and borehole sealing, equipment performance requirements, waste/rock interactions, mine structural features, decommissioning performance, and excavation technology requirements. Results are summarized under four headings: factors that are currently adequate, technology needing further development, critical information needs, and prudent repository operating procedures. Design option studies that are needed and the interactions between repository design and overall waste management strategy are also discussed.
