Title: Risk methodology for geologic disposal of radioactive waste: Final report
Abstract: This report contains risk assessment methodology developed for use in assessing the risk from the disposal of radioactive wastes in deep geologic formations. This methodology consists of techniques for selecting and screening scenarios, models for use in simulating the physical processes and estimating the consequences associated with the occurrence of these scenarios, probabilistic and statistical techniques for use in risk estimates and sensitivity and uncertainty analyses, and a procedure for utilizing these models and techniques to assess compliance with regulatory standards. This methodology is demonstrated by applying it in the analysis of a hypothetical disposal site containing a bedded-salt formation as the host medium for the waste. 68 refs., 24 figs., 14 tabs.
