One-dimensional calculations of neai-field temperatures resulting from waste emplacement in a multiple-layered tuff stratigraphy are presented.Results indicate a marked sensitivity of peak temper atures tu assignment of in-situ fluid pressure, geothermal-heat flux, waste type, and location of waste relative to a specific stratigraphic discontinuity.Under the criterion that allowable initialpower densities are limited by the occurrence of boiling at a distance of 10 m from '.unplaced wsste, allowable power densities are calculated to range up to 150 kW/acre or more, depending upon geotherrnal heat flux and waste type.
