Integration of repository and waste package performance in the evaluation of source terms

Description
A number of features of the near-field regime, in addition to the waste form and waste package release processes, may be important to determination of the source term. These aspects include waste package degradation rates and the spatial distribution of waste package sources through the repository. This paper considers the relative importance of these features in a simple but useful model. The sensitivity of the source term to these features is explored for representative geologic systems currently being evaluated in the US program
