TSPA 1991: An initial total-system performance assessment for Yucca Mountain; Yucca Mountain Site Characterization Project

“…Since the SCP was published, the DOE has carried out interim exercises (e.g., Barnard andFewell et al, 1992) of its ability to assess the performance of a repository system. These exercises have had several different purposes: for example, to help guide the planning for site characterization, to help with the design of the exploratory-studies facility, and to develop the capability for making assessments.…”
