System performance, assessment

A second major public concern is over nuclear wastes. Most experts believe that it is possible to dispose of these in a manner that poses little threat to the environment and human health, given the small volume of the spent fuel, the decay with time of the radionuclides, and the potential effectiveness of engineered and natural barriers. The success that is likely to be achieved is examined through Total System Performance Assessments (TSPA) (see, e.g, OCWRM, 1998). [Pg.80]

Total System Performance Assessment - the Yucca Mountain... [Pg.21]

The performance of a geological repository for nuclear waste is influenced by many processes. Determination of whether the total system will comply with regulatory requirements necessitates consideration of all components of the systems and the effects of linking all the components together. This linkage is important because it allows each component to be viewed in the context of the behavior of the entire system. Hence, the concept and methodology of Total System Performance Assessment (TSPA) is widely used in nuclear waste disposal (Figure 2.2). [Pg.21]
