“…Differential thermal contraction and deforma tion between the 304L SS wall and hot glass dur ing cooling produces a complicated stress distri bution in the canister wall (Baxter, 1983, Slate et al, 1981. The time/temperature history and ac cumulated residual stress pattern may cause sen sitization (carbide precipitation) in the SS and cre ate conditions leading to stress corrosion cracking susceptibility after emplacement Slate et al, 1981).…”

“…Calculations and data on fire test stresses (Ross and Mendel, 1979) and reports on drop tests of SF canisters (Kurasch, 1980;Slate et al, 1981) indicate that reference designs for SF canisters and pour canister overpacks could meet requirements for these tests. Plastic deformations occurring during drop tests of pour canisters will be superimposed onto deformations that take place in pouring operations.…”

“…Structural analysis is underway to simulate the normal, test, and unexpected environmental con ditions that will bo imposed on canisters. Drop tests (Ross and Mendel, 1979;Slate et al, 1981;Kurasch, 1980) and overheat tests (Ross and Mendel, 1979) have been conducted on these types of canisters by several organizations. Based on these results, NNWSI canister designs are ex pected to survive such tests.…”

LAWRENCE LIVERMORE NATIONAL LABORATORY Executive tUnder the direction of the Office of Civilian Radioactive Waste Management, the Department of Energy's (DOE) Nevada Nuclear Waste Storage Investigations (NNWSI) project is evaluating a candidate repository site at Yucca Mountain, Ne vada, for permanent disposal of high level nuclear waste. The Lawrence Livermore National Labora tory (LLNL), a participant in the NNWSI project, is developing waste package designs to meet NRC requirements. Included are designs for the refer ence waste form configurations of: (1) spent fuel (SF), which consists of both consolidated and un consolidated spent fuel rods from pressurizedwater-reactor (PWR) and boiling-water-reactor (BWR) assemblies, (2) commercial high level waste (CHLW), as a borosilicate glass containing commercial spent fuel reprocessing wastes, and (3) West Valley/defense high level waste (WV/ DHIW) immobilized in borosilicate glass. Refer ence and alternative package designs have been developed for each waste form for both vertical and horizontal emplacement configurations. All designs are for emplacement in a tuff repository located above the water table (in the vadose zone).Conceptual designs and analyses for waste packages in tuff below the water table were devel oped for the Office of Nuclear Waste Isolation Summary (ONWI) by Westinghouse Electric Corporation in 1981 -82 (Westinghouse, 1983. The candidate hori zon was changed by NNWSI to the vadose zone in late 1982 (Vieth, 1982;Dudley and Erdal, 1982). LLNL has made changes in and additions to the conceptual designs to reflect this change in the re pository location. Analyses have been performed to determine conformance of the selected design ensemble to NRC design requirements in the cur rently understood repository environment. Fig ure 1 shows the reference conceptual designs. The selected designs (Gregg and O'Neal, 1983) include reference and alternative designs that vary in com plexity, performance, and cost.From this ensemble, one set of designs (for SF, CHLW, and WV/DHIW) will be chosen which is expected to meet Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)/Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requirements when analyzed with accura...
