Description

This paper discusses how the Texas LLW disposal facility is designed to satisfy all applicable performance and design requirements. Low-gamma Class A and mixed waste are to be disposed in modular concrete canisters, while high-gamma Class A, Class B, and Class C waste are to be disposed in below-grade steel-reinforced concrete vaults. In the structural design of disposal units, reasonable assurance of water tightness is provided by satisfying requirements of ACI 224R-80 and ACI 350-80, which are the controlling requirements for the structures. Requirements of ACI 318-83 are satisfied for canisters and those of ACI 349-80 for vaults. In all cases, the capabilities provided to the structure exceed the environments to which the structures will be subjected. Drainage features are designed to accommodate conditions projected to prevail during the hypothetical probable maximum precipitation and probable maximum flood events
