Report
Overview of WIPP waste package and repository conceptual designs
Description
This presentation described the stratigraphy of the WIPP site, repository design, test room configurations, and a variety of tests that are either planned or ongoing. Shown and described were the location of site and preliminary design validation tests, technology experiments, actual DHLW tests and full-scale TRU waste isolation demonstration area. In-situ tests with DHLW will last from several years to several decades. WIPP Brine A, an inclusion brine typical of that found at the WIPP site, will be injected into the test boreholes. A crushed salt/bentonite backfill will be used
