I STATEMENT OF WORK HYDROGE0 LOGIC PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT OF LLW SITES FIN N0: B2485-9 B&R No. 9-50-19-04-01

1.0 BACKGROUND

I In December of 1982 the NRC published regulations (10 CFR 61) setting forth administrative and technical requirements for licensing the lanc disposal of low-level radioactive waste (LLW). The Division of Low-Level Waste Management and Decommissioning (LLWM), Technical Branch (LLTB), ir responsible for providing technical support on geologic, hydrogeologic, geochemical, and geophysical issues which affect NRC licensing decisions and evaluations of LLW disposal sites under 10 CFR 61, NRC's licensing rule for LLW disposal operation. In order to fulfill NRC licensing responsibilities, the LLTB Branch requires technical assistance in developing performance assessment capabilities for future LLW sites currently being sited following Congressional mandate in the Low-Level Radioactive Waste Policy Amenoments Act of 1985 (LLRWPAA).

To date, no LLW sites have been licensed under 10 CFR 61, thus the NRC technical staff lacks relevant experience and insight in assessing the level of detail and basic conservatism needed to model future LLW sites with respect to the performance objectives and technical requirements of 10 CFR 61. Actual application of hydrogeologic performance assessment models to specific existing commercial LLW sites will provide the NRC staff with insight into the kinds of information needed to assess the hydrogeologic performance of future LLW sites and the modeling complexity needed to satisfy the technical requirements ano performance objectives of 10 CFR 61.

NewworkrelatedtothisprojectincludesaprojectwithSNL(FINA1764),

which will provide the NRC with a comprehensive methodology encompassing all environmental pathways for assessing disposal performance of future LLW sites. The results from this project will support development of the ,

comprehensive methodology by providing information on the hydrogeologic performance of existing LLW sites and detailed coces specific to the groundwater pathway.

Ongoing work related to this project includes and agreement with PNL (B2483), which involves compilation of a geochemical data base for

! developing a LLW transport model. This work will be used as a source of information to support work proposed under this project. Additional 1

2 ongoing related work includes an agreement with BNL (A3276) involving j l development of a source term model to predict quantity and rate of.  ;

radionuclides release from specific low-level' wastes, the Hydrocoin Project (B1404)involvinganevaluationandcomparisonofmathematicalflowmodels used to evaluate geologic repositories, ar.d work at MIT involving stochastic analysis of solute transport rodels in unsaturated soils (B8956) and validation of the stochastic transport models through comprehensive field studies-(B2887).

1 Completed projects related to this project include B6967 and B7384, which i involved an evaluation of locations and rates of groundwater discharge -j from the Sheffield, Illinois LLW site, and compilation of a hydrogeologic 1 data base for the Sheffield site. Other completed site work related to i this project includes geologic and hydrogeologic work at the West Valley, l New York LLW site under B7066 and B6350. In addition, a completed contract with Dames and Moore (B6420) involved a brief review of the history of operating and disposal practices at the six comercial LLW sites, and compilation of a data base for LLW management.

2.0 OBJECTIVES This project will provide technical support to the NRC on hydrogeologic, geochemical, geologic, and geophysical aspects of LLW disposal, on decommissioning, and on hydrogeologic and geochemical aspects of the Uranium Mill Tailings Remedial Action Project (UMTRAP). Specifically, the work objectives are to:

1) develop detailed reports describing geoscience characteristics and general disposal design for existing comercial LLW disposal sites and the Facility Disposal Area (FDA) at the West Valley Demonstration Project. The compiled geoscience information will be used by the NRC staff to provide pre-licensing guidance to states based on past experience with LLW disposal;
2) develop computerized geoscience data base files for the existing comercial LLW disposal sites. The data bases will be used to analyze groundwater flow and transport at existing sites;
3) a) select and apply hydrogeologic codes to existing comercial LLW sites to gain insight into modeling strategies, data needs, and levels of detail needed to adequately model proposed LLW sites with respect to 10 CFR 61; b) recomend and supply modeling codes as needed for NRC staff to evaluate the performance of proposed LLW sites. These performance

3 assessment capabilities will be used to support findings on specific licensing requirements of 10 CFR 61; 4)- provide technical assistance to NRC staff in evaluating geoscience issues related to-licensing of LLW sites; and

5) provide technical assistance to NRC staff in evaluating hydrogeologic and geochemical issues related to NRC's Uranium Recovery Program.-

The' technical. reports describing geoscience site characteristics and general disposal. design for existing commercial LLW sites will serve to document the computerized.geoscience data bases containing the physical parameters associated with the existing facilities. This geoscience information will be used to provide pre-licensing guidance.to states in site selection and site characterization activities. The computerized data bases will be used to develop site specific hydrogeologic models of existing sites which can be calibrated, and validated to the extent practicable using existing field data. The demonstration of site-specific-application of performance assessment models to real LLW sites will -

~

greatly assist NRC staff in licensing decisions involving performance assessments of future LLW sites, and in evaluating modeling codes and strategies used by states.

In addition to providing NRC staff with increased licensing capabilities, the geoscience data bases, geoscience reports and modeling experience

, together will serve as a case history inventory for NRC staff to draw upon when responding to public inquiries of the existing commercial LLW disposal sites.

Task 2. Prepare Site Geoscience Information Reports For the Existing LLW Disposal Sites

~

~The performing organization.shall obtain available site-specific documents, reports and appropriate data relevant to the geoscience characteristics and general disposal design for three of the six existing commercial LLW disposal sites. These three sites will include Sheffield, Illinois; Beatty, Nevada; and West Valley, New York. -If requested by the NMSS PM, the performing organization shall visit each of the three commercial LLW-sites identified, and their state licensing' offices in order to acquire general background information.  ;

After collection and review of pertinent geoscience information, the performing organization shall prepare a technical' report for each of the three.LLW disposal facilities identified, describing site-s ecific characteristics, available geoscience data, general disposa design, and disposal performance (see paragraph 4.3, Formal Technical Reports). The performing organization shall develop a conceptual model of the groundwater flow system describing the possible groundwater pathways through which radionuclides can become accessible to the public.

In each of the three reports, hydrogeologic, geochemical, geologic, and geophysical information compileo in Task 3 shall be narratively described and pictorially documented with appropriate maps, cross-sections, and fence diagrams. The reports shal1 include a discussion of data needs and areas of uncertainty. The performing organization shall submit reports for the three sites identified within the two (2) year period of performance.

Task 3. Compile Geoscience Data Base Files For Existing Commercial LLW Disposal Sites.

The performing organization shall compile computerized geoscience data bases for the Sheffield and West Valley LLW sites. The data bases shall contain information needed to analyze soil moisture movement and groundwater flow, solute transport through the saturated and unsaturated zones, and leaching characteristics of site-specific low-level wastes.

The format of the data base shall be suitable for reviewing the hydrogeologic and related data, developing three-dimensional relationships and governing processes, developing conceptual models of saturated and unsaturated-groundwater flow and radionuclides transport pathways, and evaluating the conceptual models numerically. The data base shall be structured to allow for incorporation of temporal and spatial variability

5 j of the parameters, and to facilitate editing and updating of the file to include new or additional data. The performing organization shall select i l

The performing organization shall submit the compiled data base cnd data base documentation report for the Sheffield LLW site within twelve (12) months after the effective date of this agreement, and shall submit the data base and documentation report j for the West Valley, LLW site within (15) months after the date of this '

agreement. The performing organization shall identify areas of uncertainty and rank areas of additional data needs in terms of their 3 significance in assessing the performance of each of the two commercial  !

LLW sites identified.

_T_ask 4. Select and Supply Computer Graphics and Statistical Analyses Programs For Implementation The performing organization shall select and make available to NRC computer graphics and statistical analyses programs which interface with the data base files compiled in Task 3. The performing organization shall use these capabilities in preparing the site characterization reports under Task 2. The performing organization shall supply all software on a user-need basis, as identified and approved by the NMSS PM, which is appropriate for use on NRC computer resources (e.g. IBM-PC, Tektronix graphics terminal, Data General MV-8000). The performing organization shall provide thorough documentation in a user's manual for each program implemented. Software products will meet the NRC Office of Administration and Resources Management, Division of Automated Information Services, Scientific Sof tware and Submittal Requirements as specified in Attachment 2.

Task 5. Recommend Performance Assessment Codes and Transfer Them to NRC Statt The performing organization shall recommend appropriate hydrogeologic performance assessment models for site-specific application to existing sites, limited to codes already in existence and/or modifications of these codes. As approved by the NMSS PM, the performing organization shall transfer appropriate performance assessment codes (not presently available on NRC computer systems) to NRC staff for adaptation on NRC computer resources. For each code supplied, the performing organization shall provide thorough documentation of the code and a description of how the code was applied to the site in Task 6. The documentation shall be in sufficient detail to allow for maintenance of the code by NRC staff. This documentation will predominantly consist of previously published material, including verification and validation tests, example problems, and benchmarking of the codes.

1

6 The use of proprietary codes may be acceptable and shall be discussed with the HMSS PM. Deliverables shall include software products, source code implementation,' user guides, and, if determined necessary by the HMSS PM, short training courses (1 to 3 days in length) to be conducted in Silver Spring, Maryland. Software development products will meet NRC Office of Administration and Resources Management submittal requirements as specified in Attachment 2.

Task 6. Evaluate the Performance of Commercial LLW Sites In consultation with the NMSS FM, the performing organization shall quantitatively analyze groundwater flow and radionuclides transport at the Sheffield and West Valley, LLW sites using the conceptual models developed in Task 2 and the contaminant transport models identified under Task 5.

The level of detail and basic conservatism assumed in the modeling will be dependent upon the site-specific characteristics of each site evalueted.

The performing organization shall perform sensitivity analyses to identify key parameters which affect radionuclides transport along groundwater pathways, and to assess areas of uncertainty and rank areas of additional data needs.

The performing organization shall model the two LLW sites identified and provide technical evaluation reports within the two (2) year period of performance of this project. The performing organization shall submit a technical evaluation report for each site assessed which describes their methods of evaluation and results of analyses (see paragraph 4.3, Formal Technical Reports).

The evaluation reports shall contain information needed to evaluate specific sites with respect to the performance objectives (61.40) and technical long-term requirements of 10 isolation (61.51), CFR 61, closure (61.52), including site suitability)(61.50),

monitoring 61.53 , waste classification (61.55), and waste characteristics (61.56)(.

The reports shall also include a discussion on which aspects of a particular site meet the requirements of 10 CFR 61, and which aspects of a particular site preclude it from complying with the requirements 10 CFR

61. The evaluation reports shall include recommendations for minimum site characterization needs and characterization strategies, as well as the I

level of detail necessary to model each specific site adequately with i respect to the evaluation criteria of 10 CFR 61. Based on the experience l gained from the modeling of existing sites, the performing organization

l. shall recommend analytical techniques and/or numerical codes appropriate j for modeling similar future LLW sites proposed by states.

1 The performing organization shall keep the NMSS PM closely informed of  !

their assessment methods in order to transmit this information and i experience to the NRC staff. In this way the NRC staff will increase their capability to assess the performance of future LLW sites as new sites are considered by states.
