One-twelfth-scale model of horizontal emplacement and retrieval equipment for radioactive waste packages at the proposed repository in tuff
Description
One of the principal objectives of the Nevada Nuclear Waste Storage Investigations [NNWSI] Project is the design of equipment and hardware for the emplacement and retrieval of packages of high-level radioactive waste at a proposed repository in tuff at Yucca Mountain, Nevada. This report presents a description of the emplacement and retrieval operations and a one-twelfth-scale model of the equipment and hardware to be used for the horizontal orientation. The model was constructed to demonstrate the technical feasibility of the proposed horizontal concept and for the purpose of design verification. 1 ref., 38 figs., 3 tabs
