Comparison of source-term calculations using the AREST and SYVAC-vault models

Creators

Description

A key supporting step in the validation of performance assessment codes for nuclear waste disposal is to compare verified codes developed for similar analyses. In this paper, we report on the first such comparison of system-level codes for waste package performance assessment, specifically comparison of release calculations by the AREST and SYVAC-Vault models. The purpose of this comparison is to further establish the scientific credibility of these codes for use in predictive assessment of radionuclide release, as well as to identify deficiencies and future improvements
