Volcano Code: A Module for Simulation of Magmatic Scenario Model Description and User Guide. Iterative Performance Assessment Phase 2

摘要

The objective of the VOLCANO software is to provide computational algorithms for estimating consequences due to magmatic events in the TPA simulations. The code simulates a limited set of magma scenarios in the Yucca Mountain region around the potential repository and assesses the consequences of volcanic events on the radioactive wastes stored in the repository. Specifically, the VOLCANO simulation will determine the number of waste packages failed by the magmatic events and the amount of radionuclide releases to air during volcanic eruptive events and also the amount for aqueous release. The results from the VOLCANO simulations are then used by other TPA CM to calculate aqueous and gaseous radionuclide source terms, human individual or population dose, and the total amount of radioactivity release to air.
