Development of abstraction/testing activities for TSPA-VA or how PA,site,and design came to consensus without coming to blows

摘要

The Viability Assessment (VA) for the potential repository system includes four major components: three components are related to repository and waste package design,plan and cost to complete a license application,and an estimate of costs to construct the repository.The fourth component is "a total-system performance assessment based on the design concept and scientific data and analysis available by September 30,1998,describing the probable behavior of the repository in the Yucca Mountain geological setting relative to the overall system performance standards."
