Software for Applicon Graphics System Support of the NNWSI Area-to-Location Screening Activity

摘要

A comprehensive system study has been performed to screen the Nevada Research and Development Area (NRDA) of the Nevada Test Site (NTS) and nearby areas for relatively favorable locations of about 10 square miles for the permanent disposal of radioactive waste in a mined repository. The purpose of this screening was to use information available during the summer of 1981 to identify such locations. The results of this screening will allow more informed decisions by the Department of Energy's Nevada Nuclear Waste Storage Investigations Project as to where future repository exploration could be concentrated to optimize the chances that the locations chosen for characterization would qualify as a licensed repository site. The methods used for, and the results of, this study are described by S. Sinnock and J. Fernandez in their report, Summary and Conclusions of the NNWSI Area-to-Location Screening Activity (NVO-247). This report is intended to describe the computer support developed for the screening activity and, as such, should not be treated as a stand-alone document, but as a supplement to the above summary report. This report complements two other supplemental reports dealing with 16 physical data bases for screening and the objectives of the screening methodology. Together, these four reports fully describe the screening activity of the Nevada Nuclear Waste Storage Investigations Project. (ERA citation 09:019786)
