Basalt Waste Isolation Project Performance Assessment Plan

The Basalt Waste Isolation Project (BWIP) Performance Assessment Plan defines the approach to analysis and use of BWIP Performance Assessment activities for all phases of the project. The report describes both preclosure and postclosure activities. Preclosure activities address system safety during construction, operation, retrival, and decommissioning. Post-closure activities address repository isolation capability to determine compliance with regulatory criteria. The plan and schedule of activities is consistent with the 1982 Nuclear Waste policy Act. The plan is a living document and will be revised periodically in response to management and technical needs. 5 refs., 13 figs., 7 tabs
