l 2 1 PROCEEDINGS '() ~2 3 DR. GARRICK: (1:0C p.m.] Good afternoon. The meeting will 4 .now come to order. 5 This is a continuation of the second day of the 6 111th meeting of the Advisory Committee on Nuclear Waste. 7 My name is John Garrick, Chairman of the ACNW. Other 8 Members of the Committee include George Hornberger, Ray 9 Wymer, and Charles Fairhurst. 10 The entire meeting will be open to the public. 11 Today the Committee will continue preparation of ACNW 12 reports, and before that we'll get an update on DOE Yucca 13 Mountain repository design matters. 14 Andy Campbell is the designated Federal official () 15 for.the initial portion of today's meeting, and as usual,  ; 16 this meeting is being conducted in accordance with the ]l 17 provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act. We have 18 received no written statements or requests to make oral 19 . statements from members of the public regarding today's  ; 20 session. Should anyone wish to address the Committee, 21 .please notify and make your wishes known to a member of the 22 staff. 23 The procedure if you wish to make a comment is to 24 identify yourself and speak clearly so that we can all hear l l 25, the important message that you have to say. l-ANN RILEY & ASSOCIATES, LTD.

3 1 We're now going to move directly into the Yucca 2' Mountain repository design discussion. This discussion will 3 be led by Committee Member -- as far as the Committee is 4' ' concerned -- Charles Fairhurst. So with that, I guess we're 5 ready to proceed with the first speaker. I think that's 6- going to be -- l 7 DR FAIRHURST: Paul Harrington.

       '8               DR. GARRICK:    And would each presenter introduce 9   themselves, say a little bit about what their role in life 10   is for the benefit of the Committee, 11               DR. FAIRHURST:     You mean as far as DOE's 12' ~ concerned.

13' DR. GARRICK: You two must know each other. 141 MR. HARRINGTON: My role in life with respect to () 15 the DOE is maybe not as interesting as some of the other , l 16 roles I may play.  ; i 17 I am Paul Harrington. I am the DOE design lead j 18 for Yucca Mountain activities. The way our organization is 19 set up, Steve Brocoum is the assistant manager responsible 20 'for regulatory activities, and. Dick Spence is the assistant  ; 21 manager responsible for actual production of products doing  ; 22 work activities within the M&O.. And I am the design lead in 23 Dick Spence's organization. 24' So I've been on Yucca Mountain about four years  ;

4 i 1 nuclear world prior to that. [ 2 V) Before I talk, I'll say a little bit about where 4 3 we stand in this whole LADS process, though. We've broken 4 this discussion up into two sections. I'll give the 5 process, how LADS came to be, what it is wc looked at, and 6 what the several recommendations, enhanced design 7 alternatives were and a recommendation that's been made from 8 the M&O to the DOE. DOE has not acted on that yet. And 9 Dick Snell will give a more detailed discussion of what the 10 enhanced design alternative to recommendation really 11 contains. 12 Now the M&O made an initial recommendation through 13 Rev. O of the LADS report in the middle of April, on the l 14 15th, to the DOE. We did a technical review, had comments () 15 on it that resulted in issuance of Rev. 1. That is the rev 16 that the TRB and others have reviewed and made comments to. 17- We are still collecting review comments. We've not yet made 18 a selection or final decision on whether or not to proceed 19 with EDA-2 or something else. 20 DR. HORNBERGER: Paul, what's the time frame for 21 making that decision firm? 22 MR. HARRINGTON: Well, we have a TRB member coming 23 to the project Thursday, Friday of this week to try and talk 24 about the ve tilation issues. I'm sure you've seen the 25 letter that they sent us a week or so ago, and they continue ANN RILEY & ASSOCIATES, LTD. f~') A- Court Reporters 1025 Connecticut Avenue, NW, Suite 1014 Washington, D.C. 20036 (202) 842-0034

5 1 to be interested in a cooler repository then EDA 2 looks IT 2 like. So they're coming out to talk about possible ways to O 3 achieve that. This is not going to be just DOE 4 presentations but much more of an interaction and listen to 5 what they have. That happens the end of this week. Lake 6 will probably take that into consideration and sometime 7 fairly soon after that come out with a conclusion. 8 DR. FAIRHURST: Who is the one -- which RB member 9 is coming out -- 10 MR. HARRINGTON: Dan Bullen. 11 DR. FAIRHURST: Okay. 12 MR. HARRINGTON: And a staff member, Carl DiBello, 13 with him, and I don't know of any other board members that 14 are coming. () 15 l As we were doing the characterization work, one of 16 the significant issues that came up were uncertainties with l 17 respect to modeling not just the engineered but the natural l 18 systems also. So we've looked at what can we do to reduce ' 19 uncertainties. That ultimately led to the LADS exercise. 20 Now there had been a number of proposals made from 21 a lot of different areas as to alternate designs that the I 22 project might pursue. Some of them were fairly narrowly i 23 focused, like rod consolidation. That's really something 24 that could be applied to most any fundamental design 25 approach. And there were other more broad design approaches l O ANN RILEY & ASSOCIATES, LTD. (_sl. Court Reporters 1025 Connecticut Avenue, NW, Suite 1014 I Washington, D.C. 20036 (202) 842-0034

l 6 , 1 that were proposed, including both cooler and hotter l L[) i \_) 2 repositories. So.the attempt of the LADS exercise was to do 3 a comprehensive assessment of all of the different proposals 4 that were on the table at the time or that could be 5 developed during this process to try and reach closure on-

6 what a best-design approach might look like to us. 7 Now this was not intended to be a final design. 8 As we go through this, we'll see references to specific i 9 thicknesses of waste package. materials and drip shields and ) 10 that sort of stuff. The thicknesses there were for 11 analysis. They're certainly subject to being validated 12 through the continuation of the design exercise that we're l 13 doing from now to site recommendation, and then to LA, l l 14 assuming that a site recommendation is made, j

  <^

i (%,) 15 In addition to trying to do that comprehensive l 16 assessment, NRC Regs 60 and 63 require that we look at 17 alternative designs. So there were a number of drivers 18 causing this. 19 As I said, we'll have to develop that further to 20 support and SR and LA. This is conceptual. The terminology 21 that is contained throughout the report addresses design 22 alternatives and design features. Design alternatives were 23 the really fundamentally different approaches we talked 24 about a moment ago, such as a high or low thermal load. 25 We'll have lists of them a little further in the [ '\ ANN RILEY & ASSOCIATES, LTD. f(.

h l' 7 1 presentation. And then the design features were the { 2- relatively minor changes that.could be applied to any 3 ' inherent approach. 4- We had just issued the viability assessment prior 5 to starting.this. .This really started in July of last year. 6 -But in the'-- or I;ot but, but.in the viability assessment 7 volume II was the design product, and section 8 of that had 8 a number.of'different alternatives. So that was one of the 9 bases'for starting this work, but we were not constrained i 10 just to following that. l 11 And if you guys have questions as we go through l 12 this, please feel free to go-ahead and address them. 1 13- DR.

As we look at what they are, you can 21 kind of-see how we treated some versus others. And the 22- treatment of one versus another wasn't a major motivator in 23 this anyway.

9 1 MR. HARRINGTON: Okay. 2 DR.'FAIRHURST: I'm just saying that they have in 3 essence bought off your definition. 4 MR. HARRINGTON: Yes. I think they were

5. reasonably comfortable with what we had defined as 6 alternative approaches. They're not as comfortable with the 7 recommendation that was made to.the DOE obviously.

8 DR. GARRICK: Yes. 9 MR. HARRINGTON: Okay. The LADS process went 10 through several steps. These next two pages enumerate 11 those. We went ahead and identified the objectives to use 12 for developing the concepts, and then we had a series of 13 workshops. In early January there was a two-week workshop 14 to look at the analyses that had been generated for the () 15 design features and design alternatives trying to find how 16 we might then structure those into a narrower set of 17 fundamentally different alternative approaches. 18 We used a consensus decision process, with the 19 LADS core team as the decision makers. Now, something that 20 has come up a number of times is the lack of a very 21 numerical approach to this exercise, and we weren't trying 22 to do a numerical approach. It wasn't really of value to 23 us. We didn't think to try and assign a number, a rating of 24 83 to 1 approach versus 67 to another approach. All we are 25 really looking for was relative contribution to performance ANN RILEY & ASSOCIATES, LTD.

                     '7      DOE, 8                     There was something called the LADIG, LA Design 9     Integration Group.               In December we realized that there was a 10       need for an overall policy coordination group, something 11       driven by the DOE, so we created the LA Design Integration 12       Group. It had senior members from both the DOE and the 13       contractor.        It was chaired by Steve Brocoum, our AM for
14. licensing. It included senior members from the M&O staff, 15 Dan Wilkins, Jack Bailey was on it.

16 And the intent of that was to have a venue to 17 discuss policy issues. You may have heard that that was 18 another issue that had come.up at the TRB meeting a couple 19 of weeks ago was the -- there was a concern that the M&O-was 20 creating policy decisions. That is what the LADIG was there 21 for, and there will be a revision to the LADS report that 22 will. capture those LADIG policy issues. 23 One question I have for you.

18. We ended up in this LADIG group deciding to take a 19 middle course, which is to say do a relative comparison 20 between the various approaches and come up with a 21 recommendation rather than being silent on what a proposed l 22 recommendation might look like.

Now, Phase 7 II was when we had taken the design alternatives and design 8 features of Phase I, had the Phase I closure workshop 9 meeting to define what we were going to look at as 10 structured enhanced design alternatives in the Phase II 11 process. We reassessed what criteria to use for that Phase 12 II assessment and that went to the LADIG for consensus. 13 The desired product, sort of a restatement of the 14 first one.

That is something that continues to get 10 interest. At the most recent TRB meeting one of the 11 professors from the University of Nevada, Reno, made a 12 comment that he thought we had prematurely terminated 13 assessment of postclosure ventilation, but let me talk about-14 that one for just a moment. A () 15 The concept there is that as long as you can pass 16 air'through a drift,-you can remove heat and moisture from a 17 waste package. If you can continue that in the postclosure 18 phase, then there may be some merit to it. We had a i 19 workshop that Nye County actually hosted in early December i 20 looking at concepts. One was a flow from outside a 21 repository through and back outside. Certainly that would 22 bring in dry air, but you were left with the problem that 23 the repository was not isolated. 24 We looked at a couple of concepts for circulation 25 within the mountain. i [) ANN RILEY & ASSOCIATES, LTD.

     .3 MR. HARRINGTON:

there was another one. Yeah, there was the bow tie and And one of the big problems we had 4' with that was.trying to prove that it would perform that 5 function for a period long enough to be of benefit in the 6 postclosure world where you are really not having an 71 o'pportunity to monitor it or to act on it. That difficulty 8 versus the somewhat marginal improvement that we got in 9= performance from it, as I said, that didn't go forward. 10 ' Enhanced access design. We talked a moment ago 11 about' packages and drifts in the floor. One of the concepts 12 was, what happens if there is a problem as you are moving a { 1 13 package ~in or if, while it is in, you need to go into the 14 drift and do some maintenance, or if you have a retrieval ( 15 exercise, you have maybe equipment failure or something 16 else, what can you.do to the packages to make them more 17 approachable, primarily from a radiological perspective? So 18 that was that one.

And the VA had some options that          j 23   included backfill, drip shields and ceramic coatings, and 24   then a modular design in phased construction.      That was more 25   of a surface issue we rolled into this to try and see how ANN RILEY & ASSOCIATES, LTD.

20 1 that would affect a subsurface, but there was also some [~')\ 2 modularization of subsurface construction besides. l 3 The next one is design features. These are things 4 that were considered to be less fundamentally different and 5 could be applied to just about any of the basic design L  ! 6 approaches. Ceramic coatings, drip shields and backfills 7 came out of the viability assessment as options. Aging and 8 blending of waste, certainly, the more you age it, the more i 9 heat it is able to reject, the less heat you have to worry  ! 10 about in a repository.

HARRINGTON: Yes, we did assign a number to 12 it, but the number is really relative performance between 13 EDA approaches, not to say that a number 2 equates to some 14 measurable item, but number 2 or a rank of 2 with respect to ( 15 flexibility means that one EDA is more or less flexible than 16 another. 17 DR. GARRICK: Yeah. Well, the thought here, of 18 _ course, is that as you get further down the road and as you 19' do more field studies, more R&D, learn more about the 20 design, you may. reduce some uncertainties about some of the 21 ' design features, for example, and decide that there is just i 22 not a good return on them, and you would either like to be 23 able to eliminate them or change them or what-have-you, such 24 as a Richards barrier or such as a drip shield. 25 MR. HARRINGTON: Yes. i O ANN RILEY & ASSOCIATES, LTD. Court. Reporters 1025 Connecticut Avenue, NW, Suite 1014 Washington, D.C. 20036 (202) 842-0034 1

24 1 DR. GARRICK: Because I think that some of these I b) 2 things come out of people's mouths awfully easy, like drip 3 shields, but when you stop and calculate what is involved, 4 not only in materials and costs, and installation and 5 what-have-you, but the whole support effort that is 6 involved, you know, we end up with huge numbers. 7 So I would think that would be an extremely 8 important consideration. 9 MR. HARRINGTON: Yes. When we get to the rankings 10 of different EDAs, that was one of the things that caused 11 EDA I to be moved down, because of the area that it would j i 12 take, being a low thermal load. 13 DR. GARRICK: Right. 14 MR. HARRINGTON: It takes up all and then some of

   /

(_j 15 the repository block if we are also looking at possibly l 16 having to put more than 63,000 MTU commercial in there. So 17 it was one of the less flexible ones. I think it is 18 actually the least flexible. 19 DR. GARRICK: All right. 20 MR. HARRINGTON: Let's see, these are just some of 21 the other features. I probably need to be moving on here. 22 These are the criteria we used for the Phase 1 23 evaluations of these design features and design 24 alternatives.

25 1 cetera. And also our confidence in the above assessments. 2 We've been doing a lot of work to try and identify [ } 3 just what are the areas that the project thinks we have less 4 confidence in and what are the areas that we think would 5' drive performance more or less and use that coupling to 6 allocate resources for what it is we do in the future. 7 The DOE concluded an exercise, scoping exercise in 8 that vein about two months ago. The M&O's working up their 9 enhanced version of that, and I have not seen that final 10 yet, but we spend a lot of our focus to make ire we're 11 working on the right things. 12 DR. WYMER: Is dose kind of a washout in all of 13 this? 14 MR. HARRINGTON: Yes. Yes, when we get to the EDA (O/ 15 2, you'll see -- actually I didn't put them in here -- but 16 we did curves for 10,000-year and million-year releases for 17 each of the five EDAs, and all five of them perform real 18 well at 10,000 years, but one of the EDAs that has a carbon 19 steel liner waste package material fails sooner after the 20 10,000 years than all of them with CRMs. So especially for 21 the 10,000-year period, dose really was not a discriminator. 22 Okay. So we did the workshop, and that was to 23 look at everything that had been done in these analyses for  ; 1 24 the design features and alternatives to figure out how could 25 we structure a set of enhanced design alternatives to then /~ ANN RILEY & ASSOCIATES, LTD.

l 26 1 evaluate to try and make a recommendation from. So the (n) 2 intent of these, these enhanced design alternatives, was to 3 capture several fundamentally different approaches that were 4 not just one offs, which is what the Phase 1 part had been, 5 but that would be a reasonably complete design approach. So 6 within these enhanced design alternatives, we mixed and 7 matched different -- some design alternatives and design 8 features to come up with a design approach that was more 9 fully developed. 10 When I said one off a moment ago, what we tried to 11 do was look at each of the design alternatives and features 12 in the Phase 1 process as that one item compared to the VA 13 design just to try and make a more manageable comparative le exercise. The intent of the enhanced design alternative was O. () 15 actually to structure more complete design approaches that 16 would be relatively different from each other. 17 Now we came up with a couple of approaches to 18 low-temperature designs, a couple to high-temperature 19 designs, and some enhanced-access designs. We then decided 20 that -- there were eight in that first cut, and that was a 21 little too many. Some of them weren't really fundamentally 22 different, so we scrubbed it down to five. 23 This is the EDA discussion here. We did general 24 sessions to review it. We had performance assessment and 25 cost folks there to get some idea of the performance () \ms/ ANN RILEY & ASSOCIATES, LTD.

2' 1 cce cributions of each of these things, and also relative () 2' costs. Did some design analyses. Wanted to know surface 3 doses:as.we were changing waste package materials and 4' . thicknesses, for example. Obviously the dose outside the 5 waste package changes. And that then came up to be the set 6 of EDAs. I'll put this up here. I think you will need to 7 refer to your handouts, though. 8 Now EDA 1 was really the low-temperature design. 9 The fundamental feature there is to keep all of the rock

    .10   below boiling, stay out of the vapor phase water in the 11   rock. This particular design construct does allow the waste 12   package itself to exceed boiling, though.

13 There are a couple of versions of what a true

14. low-temperature design would be. One of them says that you

() 15 keep the waste package itself also below boiling, and I 16 think the end of that spectrum says that you keep the waste 17 package below the point that you would have corrosion other 18 than~ general-corrosion on it. So that would be from a waste 19 package of 85 C to a waste package of 96 C to a rock 20 temperature of-96 C. Those are sort of the three stages of 21- a' low-temperature design cooler than EDA 2 is. 22 Reading down through that, the aerial mass loading 23 is 45 MTU per art So for 63,000 MTU of commercial SNF, 24 plus ' the DOE Sh.' high-level waste, that would take 1,400 25 acres.

e l l 1 28 1 Now it says point loading. What that means is the [

    ']
  'w, 2 waste packages have some spacing between them that's 3 dictated by the thermal content of the individual waste 4 package. The other ones are line load -- that means the 5 waste packages are butted up to about 10 centimeters apart.

6 Basically they are as close as we can reasonably emplace 7 them doing a remote exercise. 8 We limited the waste package size to limit the 9 thermal content of the package. There are 12 PWRs and 24 10 BWRs. Still, though, with the 5-1/2-meter drift diameter, 11 one of the things that we find as we try and shrink the 12 drift diameter is not only do you have less room for 13 emplacement equipment and other equipment to work, but 14 because that rock is closer to the package, it gets hotter (O) 15 than it would if it were a little bit bigger. This has a 16 43-meter drift spacing. 17 And all of them we tried to have a 50-year closure 18 period taken as from time of start of emplacement to 19 closure. Now that's something that we need to do more work 20 on, because the actual analyses that we did were based upon 21 all of the inventory being emplaced at once halfway through 22 the emplacement cycle and, yes, that was just to make it 23 numerically a little bit simpler, and then taking a 50-year 24 cooling period on that. So the intent is to be able to 25 close it at 50 years from start of emplacement in each of

   ,m l     )  2 sure that we can do that and that the ventilation rates that
  \, ,/

l 3 we're proposing do that. 4 So this says 2 to 10 cubic meters per second per 5 drift for that 50-year period. We're really up toward the 6 top end of that, and we're closer to 10 than we are to 2, 7 especially in EDA 2. And it has 20-percent blending to keep 8 the waste package thermal content down from the 18 kilowatts 9 that the 21 PWR could have had with no blending. This is 10 limiting it down to 6.7 kilowatts in these smaller packages, 11 the 12 PWRs. But it also is requiring blending to get 12 there. And the waste package material is 2 centimeters of 13 alloy 22, nickel-based material over 5 centimeters of 316 ) i 14 stainless steel.

 !,    ) 15            Now these thicknesses certainly are subject to s-16 change through validation, through completion of the 17 calculations that we'll do, but that's what was used for the 18 basis of this LADS work. It does not have filler within the 19 packages. It does not rely on backfill. It does have a 20 drip shield. Titanium, grade 7, at 20 millimeters was i

21 considered for all of them. And because of the smaller 22 packages, then the number of packages went up to not quite 23 16,000. Okay? l 24 EDA 2, the intent there was to get an appreciably 25 lower thermal goal than the viability assessment, but not to

ll 30 1 drive it as low as EDA l'had to allow some of the rock to be 2 above boiling. But to keep a space at the center of the 3 pillar between drifts where it would always be subboiling, 4 and that would then provide a channel for flux to come down 5 and then drain between drifts. 6 One of the concerns in modeling flux was if we had 7 an above-boiling isotherm across multiple drifts, what would 8 that do to the water? Would it stay up? Would it find 9 fractures? Would it do something else? So doing this we 10 thought'took a significant chunk of that uncertainty out by 11 providing a relatively large subboiling region where water 12 could relatively freely drain. I l 13 DR. .FAIRHURST: Paul, on that -- 14 MR. HARRINGTON: Yes. 15 DR. FAIRHURST: And it's somewhat of a technical 16 point, but even though you've got the region below boiling, 17 .the rock is heated up. 18- MR. HARRINGTON: Yes. 19 DR. FAIRHURST: And therefore you are closing 20 apertures-to total thermal expansion. Just by keeping it 21 below boiling doesn't mean to say that you've got an open 22 pathway in the middle. 23 MR.

15. MR. HARRINGTON: .Now this says we want to keep the 16 center of the pillars below boiling. In reality, in looking 17 at-the numbers that we've run so far with this particular 18 . spread, about 80 percent of the pillar is subboiling. So by
                                             ,19                                the time I get to the center of it, it's appreciably below 20                             boiling.

21 Because this is 60 MTU per acre, it takes somewhat 22' more footprint than the viability assessment design. So 23 we're..up to 1,050 acres.

      'l  .just for'the 63,000 MTU commercial, though. This is going 2   to.line loading.
 -( )

3 Now, something to point out there with respect to 4 drip shields, I mean yes, we do talk about some of these 5 things'as if they're fairly. simple, and they're going to be l 6 far more complex than that. In the point loading, the 7 concept of a drip shield was that it was a breadbasket. It 8 would sit over an individual waste package and it would have 9 ends'on it.. 10' When you have the waste packages in a line load, 11 -there's really no space to have a drip shield come down 12 across each end, and you don't want that, because you're 13 trying to get thermal transmission in between adjacent waste 14 packages. So the concept here is to have the adjacent () 15 sections of this continuous drip shield overlap each other. 16 Now obviously we have'to model what will happen with water 17- . potentially coming through that joint, but it's just 18- -something to keep in mind in this line load concept and drip 19 shield versus the point load. 20 We are back up to the 21 PWR, 44 BWR though, we 21 can.go with the larger packages. This is the VA size 22 package,.so it doasn't result in an increase in the waste 23- package number, again, with 5-1/2 meter drift, but the drift 24 spacing now been increased to 81 meters to try and provide 25 that relatively cool zone in between drifts.

34 1 The 9.8 kilowatts is a design basis, is the same () 2 3 as the VA ersentially, but now we have got blending in there to limit the hottest-package to no more than 20 percent over 4 that. We don't have the 18 kilowatts per package from the 5 . viability assessment design. 6 The same construction as for EDA I, no fillers but 7 with backfill over the drip shield, and we are back down to L 8' a.little.over 10,000 waste packages. 9 DR. HORNBERGER: Is the backfill just generic j 10 backfill tuff or to do you have getters or chemical things 11 in there? 12 MR. HARRINGTON: We are considering two different 13 backfill materials, generally. One is a crushed quartz 14 sand, I think, and the other I think was a tough. We did O

   's,,/  15  . consider getters and stuff as some of the design features in 16   the EDA I.

17 DR. HORNBERGER: But they are not here. 18 MR. HARRINGTON: No. No. One of the concerns 19 with.them is, would they still be there and able to function

         -20   when you needed them? .You know, at the point that the waste 21   packages would finally. start failing and you start actually 22   releasing material, would that getter that you placed really 23   be there?

24 EDA III is the most similar to the viability 25 assessment designs, and we have two versions of that, A and l

35 1- B,~and the only distinction between them really is the waste () 2 3 package material. So if we jump down toward the bottom of the page, you can see that A has to the two centimeters of 4 Alloy 22 over the_five of stainless, but B has a three layer 5 material with titanium sandwiched in between the Alloy 22 6 and stainless. 7 The thermal goals for III were the same as for the 8 viability. assessment. All of these were trying to protect 9 the' cladding on the fuel so they have a 353 degree C clad 10 limit. This one tries to get the waste package.to cool down 11 to 80 degrees C before the. relative humidity comes back to 12 90 percent. On the curves that we did, we defined the 13 window of susceptibility of materials, and that is 14 temperature-humidity driven, hnd if we can keep the waste f) 15 package temperatures out of that region, then we expect to 16 have enhanced waste package life. So EDAs III, IV and V 17 were not es successful in staying out.of that region as I 18 and II were. 19 This is back to the 85 MTU of VA design, so it 20 took the same 740 acres that the VA did. Line loading,

       '21  though, instead of the point load.      Again, 21 PWR, 5-1/2 22  meter. This is up to 56 meter spacing, though, the VA
      '23   design at 28 meters spacing between drifts.      Again, with the 24- continuous ventilation'during a 50 year preclosure period.

25 It says limited blending, that is just simply to not exceed ANN RILEY & ASSOCIATES, LTD. Court Reporters 1025 Connecticut Avenue, NW, Suite 1014 Washington, D.C. 20036 (202) 842-0034 9

n 36 1 18 kilowatts in the hottest package. The reference is still l l) 2 9-1/2~for the 21 PWRs. 1 L '3 We' talked about the materials a moment ago, No 4 fillers, no backfill, it does have a drip shield. And this 51 is also slightly over 10,000 packages. L 6 EDA IV was the concept that was taken forward as 7 the most likely shielded package. Rather than trying to 8 deal with unshielded packages and in a shielded environment I 9 like a trench or a short emplacement drift or something like 10 that, or a shield that was placed over the package after the 11 package was placed, all of those had real operational l l 12 difficulties in that you weren't really protected while you 13 were working on the waste package itself, while you were 14 doing the waste package emplacemeit. They were all sort of () 15 after the fact exercises. So to get the true benefit from 16- shielding, we decided that the package itself ought to be 1 17 shielded. 18- So this one, the big difference here is it is 30 19 centimeters'of carbon' steel. Okay. That brought the gamma

        '20  levels down to I think it was couple of hundred MR per hour.

That 21    says heat might be advantageous in that, if it drives water 22   'off, and can keep it away,- then you can keep drifts dry and 23    promote or extend waste package life.

 'N 3 was, since it is appreciably smaller, we might be able to 4 find some more advantageous section of rock to locate it in.

5 That would have been pursued more if we had gone further 6 with EDA V. 7 Line loading, drift spacing is now down to 32 8 meters between drifts, again, trying to keep it hotter. To 9 avoid hot spots, though, within a drift, there is blending 10 so that you don't have exceptionally hot packages as you go 11 down the length of the drift. So we are back down to the 12 11.8 kilowatts as a max, 20 percent over nominal. 13 DR. FAIRHURST: All of these calculations were 14 done with fresh waste, right? There was no aging

 /~T (j    15 considered?

16 MR. HARRINGTON: I believe that there was some 17 aging considered. The fresh waste would have given us the 18 18 kilowatts per package. So the 9.8 is assuming some 19 aging. I don't remember just how much, but the design 20 package of 18 is about where we would be if we had all five 21 year old fuel. 22 DR.

4. five years and, if so, if we had a 21 PWR with five year old 5' fuel, it would be 18 or a'little bit higher in terms of
6. kilowatts. We recognize that some of what we get will be 1

7 older than that, so'this blending here really was referring 8 to taking cooler, older fuel, mixing it in with hotter, 9 . newer-fuel. 10 DR. FAIRHURST: Okay.

11 MR. HARRINGTON: Now, this whole discussion really 12 is focused on commercial SNF. The approach for DOE SNF and 13 high level waste is to use co-disposal packages. They are 14 physically about the same size as the commercial packages, () 151 they are about 2 meters in diameter. These 21 PWRs are 1.6 16 or:7 meters diameter, and they are all about 15 feet long.  ;

17. The DOE fuel and waste are both very cool so they don't 18 figure into the thermal calculations, so as we do these 19- calculations, that is just using commercial stuff. The 20 'i ntent with the DOE material is just to space it in between 21~ the hotter commercial packages.

Because of the 21 PWR we are still a little over 23 10,000 packages. 24 What was common to all of these? They all had a 25 drip shield. They all had carbon steel ground support.

[ .^ 40 1 of the VA designs -- well, the VA design had a concrete l () 2 3 liner to the drift. That came about several years ago, about'three, three-and-a-half years ago when we recognized 4 the need for a very robust low maintenance solution to 5 ground control in drifts that were not going to be able to 6 be accessed very readily, once waste gets emplaced. 7 Since then, over the past year or so, in looking l 8 'at not just the engineered but the natural system modeling, 9 we have identified that there were some issues with water 10 flowing through that concrete, its effect on the PH of the 11 water, and then on the waste package integrity. So going 12 away from the concrete liner removes that uncertainty, and I l l 13 right now we are looking at carbon steel, 14 We had a couple of meetings with a drift stability

       ) 15   panel, one in December and another one-this spring, to look 16   at different approaches to doing that, try and identify just 17   what the mechanisms would be for the drifts to become            ;

I' l 18 unstable. And I asked them, as a secondary question, what 19 an appropriate set of ground support might be for that. We 20 are taking that report under advisement, along with some 21- other input that we have got. We haven't reached a 22 conclusion. 23 See, all of these had 5-1/2 meters. They all have i 24_ preclosure ventilation, they do not have postclosure 25 ventilation. This is all for 70,000 MTU. This is 63,000 [~ ANN RILEY & ASSOCIATES, LTD.

41 1 worth of commercial, and the 7,000 remaining is two-thirds 2 DOE high level waste and one-third DOE spent fuel. And they [} v 3 all have a steel invert with a granular ballast of some 4 sort. 5 These were the variable features among those. The 6 thermal goals. What were we trying to accomplish? Did or 7 didn't we use backfill? What materials was waste package 8 made of? How much, if any, thermal blending was required? 9 The spacing between the drifts and of packages within a 10 drift. And what the location was within the characterized 11 area? 12 Constraints that we tried to apply to all of the 13 EDAs were that we protect the commercial cladding. We 14 didn't see any reason to purposely damage it. There are (~h ~ () 15 certainly some issues as to how wel] characterized is it. 16 How well does anyone know what either existing failures or 17 incipient failures might there be, and how much credit we 18 might be able to take for that? Setting that question 19 aside, we simply didn't see any reason to knowingly do 20 something that would compromise it beyond whatever it might 21 be right now. 22 We also had to have the ability for personnel to 23 access these waste packages for off-normal events, either 24 maintenance or some DBE. For the non-shielded waste 25 package, the concept there is simply that you have to bring I / V

F f- ' 42 l l 1- in portable shielding should you work in a drift. 2 Certainly, the first' approach, say, if you had drift l [N-l 3 maintenance to do, would be to unload-the drift so you could 4 go in unrestricted. If there were a problem, if the 5 equipment had broken or you had'a rockfall or something such 6 that you couldn't unload it, then you would have to go in 7 with portable shielding. j 8 DR. WYMER: At.one time you were talking about 300 l 9 -years, now you are talking about 50. l 10 MR. HARRINGTON: That is the difference. This is 11 a constraint. We wanted to have a design that could be i 12 closed at,50 years. 13 DR. WYMER: Why? i , 14 MR. HARRINGTON: Institutional control. For us to () i 15 come up with a design that had to stay open 300 years really 16 presumes a lot for future generations. 17 DR.

No , what we 20 said we were going to do is come up with a design that could 21 be closed relatively soon,-50 years, or it could be left 22- open if people chose to do so. 23 Now, we'didn't want to come up with a design that 24: had some inherent feature that would prevent people from j 25 continuing to monitor, if they chose to do so, but rather l [ ANN RILEY & ASSOCIATES, LTD.

So that is really the difference between the l (k ,) ! 3 50 and the 300. 4 That is one of the concerns about looking at 5 extending the preclosure ventilation period for EDA II, if 6 you then end up with a repository that has a minimum life of 7 125 years versus something that is more controllable. 8 Now, these next several slides go through in text 9 what we talked through from the table. 10 DR.

As 21 we looked at them, we thought that all of them actually were 22 viable. They all had good releases, especially through the 23 10,000 year expected regulatory performance period. That is 24 the second bullet, they all met that criterion. They all 25 had defense-in-depth. One of the criteria we looked at was i I fT

1 5 And I will put the same caveat on this bullet that I l 6 I mentioned earlier, the analyses were based on 50 years 7 ventilation, so we just need to work this issue. 8 What were the criteria that we used to evaluate 9 it? They had to be consistent with the repository design j 10 objective. We got to multiple subcriteria to try and better 11 define just what it is we were looking at within the larger 12 ones, and again because we were not trying to do this l 13 multiattribute utility analysis, we didn't go to the point 14 of saying that they had to be mutually exclusive or () 7 15 comparable within criteria, that sort of thing. That wasn't 16 really what we were trying to do with it. 17 They were there so that we could have a consistent 18 set of information and judgments across each of the EDAs, 19 and to provide a basis for this pairwise comparison that we 20 spoke about a little earlier. Again, there was no numeric 21 score assigned to them. 22 Okay. These are the criteria. The screening one 23 was simply did it meet the regulatory criteria, and I 24 certainly that's still proposed.

    /~

[b[ 2l 3 boxes'under the main relevant factors, those were all subcriteria. 4 So for each of them, we looked at the five EDAs 5 and did a paired comparison to say does this EDA perform l, 6 better-or worse than the other EDAs with respect to each of l 7 those bullets or.subcriteria. We did a numerical ranking on

8. a 1-to-5 scale, but'again1the intent was not to say that a 5
          ~9   -assigned to degree of defense in depth meant the same thing l

10 as a 5' assigned to maintainability. They were simply 11 relative.within a particular subcriterion. 12- Now you had a question earlier about flexibility. 13' Obviously that was important to us. The first subcriterion 14 was increased disposal capacity. The.87,000 MTU comes from (f 15 the total amount of SNF that we project would be created if 16' all of the licensed plants ran to the end of their license 117 lives. Thel 105,000 MTU commercial comes from having half of 18 those plants have 20-year life extensions. These are the 19 same numbers that the EIS used, so for the EDA or for the 20 LADS exercise, we wanted to be consistent with that and~look 21 at how would each ofLthese perform if we had a greater

         '22    inventory to work from.

3 . module to module underground? 4 MR. HARRINGTON: We looked at that somewhat in the 5 Phase 1 of this and found that it wasn't really much of a

            '6  . discriminator. All of them we' thought, given that you're 1

7 going to buy waste packages over a long lifetime, they all 8 could pretty much be made to suit whatever design. modes 9 might come around. 10 Preclosure period, this says 10 years. The reason 11 that.says 10 years is a~ year or so ago OCRWM headquarters in

i. 1L2 our highest-level requirements documents put a requirement 13 :ba there that the repository be able to be closed 10 years 14 after emplacement of the last waste package. That was

() 15[ driven by a consideration-as to how long it might take us to 16 get enough data from performance confirmation to make an 17 adequate case to request closure. We're removing that 1 j 18 because all of these require enough ventilation'that a 19 10-year preclosure or postemplacement closure period really 2 CF just isn't enough, and it didn't have much of a basis to 21 start with.

4 DR. WYMER: The question was, and this is sort of 5 leading ~into the next presentation, which deals only with

          '6'   EDA 2, but when you were doing all this work, I presume you
         ,7 ~   looked ahead to the time when you were going to have to 8    write an environmental impact statement and get it accepted.
         ,9.. .Did you discover that -- and I would assume you . night 10-     have -- that there was not enough difference in tne 11-     environmental impacts from one to the other that that wasn't 12      a consideration?-

13 MR. HARRINGTON: No. We spent a lot of time 14' . coordinating this with the EIS preparers. As you know, s we're getting close to issuing the PEIS. And when we set up

       -16      the EIS a couple of years ago, we tried to identify what the 17      bounding designs might be, and at'the time -- and we still 18      think.thatithat's really driven by the thermal load and the 19    'AML per acre, the areal mass loading.

So in the EIS, 25 MTU 20 per acre is the-lower bound We had an upper bound. I 21 don't remember offhand what that number was. I think it 22 'might have been 85. Now certainly one of these is higher 23 than that. And there was a middle range of 50 or so. I 24  : don't'know. ) 25 DR.

     '3-                 MR. HARRINGTON:     We thought that would be bounded 4       by the AML thing. Certainly amount of excavation. With the 5     'real low environmental impact statement lower-bound design, 6      'I think-that even used smaller packages, just to try and
7 - keep the temperatures vn. So that would have picked up 8 the larger number of- ;kages that EDA 1 has.

9 DR. WYMER: Okay. 10 MR. HARRINGTON: So the brief answer is yes, we 11 ~did this in. conjunction with the EIS, and we think it's 12 . consistent with it. 13 Let's see, design changes hot to cold. If we 14 wanted to take a hotter design and move it to a colder ( ) 15' design such as taking EDA 2 and moving it to the goals of 16 EDA 1, could you do it? And also, the other direction, 17 blending backfill, unanticipated features. 18- I'm afraid that I'm about out of my time here, and

The pairwise comparisons and the inputs 2 were -- everything we had done after creation of the EDAs in [%-]N \ 3 mid-January to this March exercise. l l 4 Now under the four major evaluation criteria, l 5 here's the relative ranking of each of those. 6 Under performance certainly because of its cooler j 7 attributes EDA 1 we thought would have the highest j l 8 demonstrable performance, followed by EDA 2. I i 1 9 DR. HORNBERGER: So that means you agree with  ; 10 TRB's basis. 11 MR. HARRINGTON: With respect to nothing but l l 12 performance, yes, we agree. 13 DR. HORNBERGER: So you agree that a cooler 14 repository is simpler to analyze and you have greater ()

  ;x 15 confidence in your analysis.

16 MR. HARRINGTON: Yes. But the rest of this says 17 that EDA 1 has other not so positive attributes. Under 18 flexibility, because it took the largest volume, and in fact 19 if you looked at the 105,000 MTU potential, it doesn't even 20 fit within the repository block. It also has smaller, more 21 expensive because there's more of them, waste packages. So 22 under construction, operation, and maintenance EDA 1 is  ! 23 relatively low. EDA 4 is a little lower, just because of 24 the m"ch heavier packages; 5 got the best one because there 25 was less excavation involved. j [~T ANN RILEY & ASSOCIATES, LTD.

8 MR. HARRINGTON: Well, what they're really telling 9 us, I think, is that there's an appreciable benefit to 10 reduction of uncertainty by staying underneath boiling -- 11 DR. FAIRHURST: In other words, they're saying 12 that there's not enough information to get rid of EDA 1. 13 MR. HARRINGTON: That's right. 14 DR. FAIRHURST: All right.

17 DR. FAIRHURST: Um-hum. 18 MR. HARRINGTON: Of the performance factors versus 19 the EDAs. Across the top is the releases. That margin is 20 simply the release, the maximum release within 10,000 years 21 divided by the 25 millirem. All of them were driven by one 22 waste-package failure, a juvenile failure in the 10,000-year 23 period that happened to be underneath a corresponding 24 failure in a drip shield. 25 As you look at the curves, it doesn't come acrosu ANN RILEY & ASSOCIATES, LTD.

As you look at the release curves, you'll see the blips on there from the superpluvial periods, and 4 when we identify where the peak releases would be, it 5 certainly corresponds with the superpluvials generally. 6 DR. HORNBERGER: Okay. So looking at this table 7 it would-be -- I guess this is what Charles said -- but it 8 would be fairly hard to favor EDA 1 over EDA 2. And so the 9 argument, as you say,.I guess that the TRB has is that they 10 don't believe nearly so strongly in your results for EDA 2 11 that they do in EDA 1. It's as simple as that.

12. MR. HARRINGTON: I think.that's fair.

13 DR. HORNBERGER: Yes. 14- DR. FAIRHURST: Because your got identical peak

HARRINGTON: Worker safety is an issue. 21- DR. FAIRHURST: Emplacement area. 22 MR.

They 20 were the ones who did the assessment of the input that they 21 got from the. lead discipline engineers, the spokespersons 22 for each of the reports and analyses that were done.

1 58 l il Now again this is just the M&O recommendation. It 2 came to.the, DOE, the Rev. O of the report came, and the DOE

         .3  had quite a few comments on it. So that intellectual 4  content has been factored into it also.      It's not. simply the 5  core team's report. This really represents the integrated 6  M&O position with DOE comments.

7 DR. GARRICK: But when you're challenged as to the I 8 transparency of the process, it's -- I~ guess it's the 9 inability'to adequately document the thought process that 10 these people went through and the arguments that were put 11 forth? 12 MR.

60 1 DR. FAIRHURST: It's not as easy to do. ( ) 2 MR. HARRINGTON: Okay. 3 Other questions? 1 4 DR. HORNBERGER: Just more of a comment than a 5 question. 6 In looking at your tables, in the first table it 7 strikes me that the differences between your EDA II and your 8 EDA III-A designs are not tremendously substantial except 9 probably for temperature. 10 And then the second table, when you look at it, 11 one of the key things in terms of the performance, under EDA ) 12 III-A you have some waste packages in the aggressive 13 corrosion range for thousands of years, and the performance 14 turns out to be -- whether it substantial or not, just r~N i

    , )  15      looking at it, it looks like EDA II performs a lot better 16      than EDA III-A.                      And this would indicate that uncertainty in 17      water getting back to the waste packages while they are hot 18      makes -- can potentially make a big difference in what you 19      calculate.

20 And I know the NRC staff has continued to tell me 21 that they have concerns about penetration of the boiling 22 isotherm and things getting back into drifts when things are 23 still hot. I know that there is still some disagreement, I 24 . guess, that some of the DOE people don't think that the 25 boiling isotherm will be penetrated, but there are arguments [ ANN RILEY & ASSOCIATES, LTD. \_ Court Reporters 1025 Connecticut Avenue, NW, Suite 1014 Washington, D.C. 20036 (202) 842-0034

' You probably don't need any 19 more paper than you already have, but there are -- for each 20 alternative and each design feature that Paul discussed, 21 there is a separate technical report on each of those items. 22 They total, I think 31 documents.

63 1 this material overlaps from things that you have already () 2 3-covered in going through the discussion with Paul, but I

        .w ill touch on them lightly. For EDA II we had some 4   temperature goals. As Paul mentioned, we did not want to 5   exceed 350 degrees C. We did not want to deliberately do 6   something that we thought would impair the condition of the 7   cladding as it was received.

8 We wanted to maintain a drift wall temperature in 9 the rock of less than 200 degrees C. That was believed to 10 be a relatively comfortable temperature for the mechanical 11 thermal stability of the rock. 12 As matter of fact, with EDA II the rock wall 13 temperatures are somewhat below that, they are probably 14 closer to 160 or maybe even less. And we wanted to maintain

 )  15   the temperature in the pillars between the drifts at less 16   than boiling. We did not want to have boiling fronts 17   coalescing in the pillar space.

18 I will talk a little bit about the underground 19 ' facility, the waste package and some of the othe$ m ineered i 20 components in the system. The basis, again, fc the '+ ek

   .21   that we have done was a 50 year closure, and keepinu .he 22   rock-below the boiling temperature in the pillar space, we 23   agree,.certainly helps to reduce uncertainty associated with 24   the flow paths that one could expect and with implications 25   for the: water chemistry ANN RILEY & ASSOCIATES, LTD.

       'l-            And there are some. additional thermal management

() .2' 3 techniques. For example, a later closure that 50 years or the use of higher ventilation rates and so forth, which, in 4 the case of EDA II, could give you a design where you have

5. no rock above the boiling temperature, but it is subject to 6 some of those. limitations.

7 We are using line loading, that is the packages 8 abutted very close to one another end to end. We are using 9- blending, as Paul mentioned. That line laading and the 10 blending helps to keep fairly constant axial temperatures 11 and not -- does not give a lot of axial temperature 12 , variation along the drifts. 13 The aggressive preclosure ventilation, we have 14 talked about 10 cubic meters per second is currently a ( 15 rumber that we will probably proceed with. And we did widen 16 the drift spacing to 81 meters in order to promote that idea  ! l 17 of keeping pillar temperatures below boiling. l 18 The waste package, we are talking about a 2 i 19 centimeter thick Alloy 22 corrosion resistant material, 5 1 20 centimeters of stainless on the inside for structural  ! 21 capability. One of the concerns that was raised with the 22 carbon steel package, and it applies to a stainless steel 23 structure material as well, since it is iron-based, is oxide 24 wedging.

It's no aging beyond the 6 waste, as received. 7 Again, the drip shield is a two centimeter thick 8 titanium seven grade overlap. This was covered briefly 9 before by Paul. It's seepage protection. It's general 10 corrosion' mode and, again,.the first drip shield failure at 11 about 9,000 years. Medium failure with the information we 12 have now for that grade titanium is about a 50,000 failure 13 time. It does provide, in and of itself, some rock fall 14- protection for the waste package. We tried using a material () 11 5 .different that -- thSt was used on the waste package, so 16 that we did not.get into common mode considerations on a 17 material failure.

Backfill gives you a controlled 4 geometry, if you will, at least to the surface of backfill. 5 Above that, of course, you're at the mercy of the natural 6 degradation of the drifts. And it helps considerably with 7 regard to rock fall, which is a major consideration, in 8 terms of long-term stability; helps with maintaining low y 1 9 relative humidity. 10= Material is under evaluation right now.

i-L y 6 the drifts'and move down through the drifts, that that L. ,

7 higher Ph might' tend to promote' higher solubilities on some 8, of the radio nuclides it would get out. And it was enough 9 of a concern and appeared to be difficult to resolve in a 10 timely. fashion, that we decided that we'd better go to a -- 11 either a steel and expanded metal mesh or rock bolts and 1 12 metal mesh, perhaps. There will still be a minor amount of 13 cementitious material, because we'll probably grout the rock 14 bolts. -But,_the quantities associated with that are very,

A cross 9 section of the emplacement drift, something like this, was

         ~10'  shown the waste package with about a 1.6 meter diameter; the 11  -larger one, the two meter diameter, which is the largest the 12   waste packages would be here.      The drip shield, just large 1

13 enough to clear the. largest of the waste packages. Free 14 standing, that is it's not leaning on or supported, in any () 15 16 way, by the waste package, but it's free standing on the invert and then backfill' material over the top of that.

HORNBERGER: As you install, right? 11 MR. SNELL: Yeah. It's somewhat instructive to E 12 compare EDA II with the VA design. Some of the comparisons 13 have already been drawn. But, it is significantly lower-14 mass loading. And, again, it's really temperature. Mass O, (, 15 loading is a number that falls out. It's the temperatures 16 that are -- the critical items for the design. But, with 60 17 MT per acre, it lets you control temperatures better. The 18 drift spacing, as you can see, quite a bit larger, in the 19- case of EDA II, in order to sustain that non-boiling region 20 between the drifts. 21 Somewhat different invert design, again, to get 22 away from concrete.

When we started this effort, we worked with 21 the performanca assessment people all the way through.

l 1 81 1 looking at. We came up three sets of situations. f) V 2 One was the design is pretty close to VA, the PA 3 models are sufficient, more or less as they stand. The 4 second set was the model is broadly reflected with the 5 design, but there's some specific aspects that are different 6 and, in that case, PA went in and made some adjustments to 7 the PA model. Typically, those adjustments were in the form 8 of assumptions that were input to the PA model, to more 9 correctly reflect those design. The third case that we had, 10 and this fortunately was the less frequent case, was that 1 11 the PA model, in its then current form, did not really tell i 12 the tale properly and they actually had to go in and make 13 some modifications and some of the process models that l 14 supported the PA runs. So, they started that work early and I [) U 15_ they did, indeed have to make some changes on the PA runs -- 16 or the PA models that they used for runs on a few of the 17 EDAs. 18 Certainly, work was done more quickly than it was 19 done for the VA. But the fact that we had the VA model and 20 they were able to go in and either change input assumptions 21 or modify the model somewhat, allowed us, we think, to do a 22 pretty fair appraisals on these designs. 23 DR.

It gives us a somewhat higher 7 confidence in the modeling and somewhat higher confidence in 8 addressAng uncertainties. The line loading is helpful in 9 getting a uniform. temperature distribution.

temperatures -- lower heating, in terms of temperature, and 12 also shorter time periods with the package designs and 13 emplacement that we're using. And, again, the drip shield 14 benefits, which are really significant in getting you beyond () 15 a time period, when you're in some of the most aggressive 16 conditions. A drip enield is very helpful, if that initial 17 failure not occurring -- predicted, anyway, until some 9,000 18 years into the period of performance. 19 Backfill, again, in a summary. It kind of helps 20 protect the drip shield, itself, from rock fall and also 21 from iron contact. There's been some concerns expressed 22 about hydrogen and brittlement and interaction between iron 23 and the titanium in the drip shield.

11- MR. SNELL: Well, to use the term " invert" -- 12 DR. CAMPBELL: It is just a -- 13 MR.

17. includes-the space.between the rails and below the rails, 18 -where-we've got' material installed -- ballast material, if 19: you will, if you want to liken it to a railroad. And those 20 are'probably the main elements.

It's probably a little bit easier operationally. 6 We have a little more latitude with placement of the waste 7 packages than we might have had with VA, because the hottest 8 VA package was up at 18 kilowatts. We -- since we're using 9 blending and line loading, on the other hand, there are some 10 -- there are some operational complexity associated with the 11 blending operation, itself. That's not -- that's not a slam 12 dunk.

16 choice on a design is to make it hotter or make it cooler, 17 this design tends to be one where you can kind of its 18 performance, relatively easily compared to some of the other 19 designs. 20 DR.

'And right now, we're trying to anticipate what the 5 storage -- surface storage receiving storage might be at the p 6 repository.

And we need to be able to consider, if we 4 need to phase construction on the surface, how does that fit 5 with EDA II, as it's presently configured. 6 Ventilation, segregation of waste types in the 7 drifts and so on, there still are some thing that we can do l I 8 there, we think, to improve or enhance this design. We 9 don't necessarily have enough information quite yet to be 1 ( 10 able to do. But, there are some refinements in thermo 11 management that we should be looking at, as we go ahead. 12 Right now, we're based on a 50-year pre-closure 13 period, not only to not preclude a longer period, but there 14 is potentially some advantage to a longer pre-closure is )) 15 period, should that become a possibility for the program. 16 We probably have some opportunities for standardizing waste 17 package designs. I think that might represent some cost 18 enhancement, maybe some improvement and so forth, that we 19 might be able to take advantage of. 20 We need some more focus, development work on the 21 waste package designs with this alloy 22 on the outside. 22 There's a reasonable amount of work that's been done so far, 23 but there's more to be done.

Are you really talking 16 about blending at the individual fuel assembly level? 17 MR. SNELL: Yes. Not to say that you have to 18 blend with every set of fuels that you get in, but it's the 19 thermal output of the waste package that's critical to us, 20 in terms of controlling temperature. So, I'm going to have 21 to do some mix and match and some blending, so that we don't 22 exceed, at least the maximum desire to heat output per 23 package. 24 DR.

When that 2 finally does-start to go to degrade mode and you end up with 3- it all. piled down at the bottom of the canister, unless we 4 limited the individual packets to no more than, I think it 5 was two or three assemblies, then there's a potential for

6. criticality. In addition, because of having to go to 7 smaller packages, you end up with an awful lot of them. And 8 there were mechanical handling complexities, also, with 9 . moving in and rotating and translating and stuff like that.

10 But, it would have been a little tougher. There are a lot 11 of things, but criticality was one of the big ones. 12 DR. FAIRHURST: Was that not an issue for the 13 Swedish design? 14 MR.

                   'MR. LESSE:     Okay. And the second question really had to do with something that you mentioned twice, which is
4. that the choice of ballister backfill ranges from sand - or 5 quartz sand to tuff. And it's my understanding it's either 6 quartz sand or tuff, which is different. Also --

7 MR. HORNBERGER: What's between those two,'Brett? 8 [ Laughter.] 9 MR. LESSE: Well, it's also been suggested that 10 limestone was possibly one of the material. So, I'm kind of 11 unclear on whether it's a range of materials you're looking 12 at or are you looking at two materials, because that affects 13 us, how we try to assess some of the processes that could 14 occur in performance assessment. 15 MR. SNELL: It is not just two materials, as I 16 might have suggested. We're looking at any materials that 17 might be suitable. I mentioned quartz sand and crush tuff, 18- because they kind of represent a range of mechanical sizes 1 19 and mechanical characteristics, quartz sand being fine grain i 20' and. crushed tuff being relatively coarse. But, the use of a 1 21 carbonated based material, limestone or something like that, 22 is also a consideration.

The conclusion'we came to was that even 14 with the use of concrete additives, we still thought there (O/ , 15 was a fairly serious risk of moderately higher Ph results by 16 having concrete in large quantities present in the drifts. 17 And still, even where Ph control looked to be fairly 18 promising, there's still a fair amount of uncertainty in 19 being able to achieve the Ph control with a lot of 20 confidence. And I think it was more -- probably more of the 21 uncertainty of Ph control than anything else, which caused 22 us to drop concrete as an approach for the ground support. 23 DR.
