Performance Assessment Methodology for Low-level Radioactive Waste DisposalFacilitites. Recommendations of NRC's Performance Assessment Working Group

摘要

The relationships between the overall 10 CFR Part 61 data and designrequirements, and detailed low-level radioactive waste (LLW) performance assessment needs, are not directly apparent from the existing US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) guidance documents. To address this concern, NRC's Performance Assessment Working Group (PAWG) has prepared this technical report as a means of providing information and recommendations on performance assessment methodology as it relates to the objective concerned with the radiological protection of the general public. This report attempts to share with the agreement states and LLW disposal facility developers, some of the PAWG's experience and insights, as they relate to the use of LLW performance assessments.
