The U.S.Department of Energy (DOE) is preparing to requiest the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to certify compliance with the radioactive waste disposal standards found in 40 CFR Part 191 for the WASTE Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP). The DOE will also need to demonstrate compliance with a number of other State and Federal standards and, in particular, the Land Disposal Restrictions of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), 40 CFR Part 268. Demonstrating compliance with these regulatons requires an assessment of the long-term performance of the WIPP disposal system. Re-evaluation and extension of past scenario development for the WIPP forms an integral part of the ongoing performance assessment (PA) process.
