Basalt Waste Isolation Project Mined Geologic Disposal System Design and Development Plan

The Basalt Waste Isolation Project (BWIP) Mined Geologic Disposal System (MGDS) Design and Development Plan (DDP) is the plan that guides the process of taking generic and specific design requirements, performance criteria, and interfaces through steps appropriate to the development phase. Each development phase shall produce the documentation required for evaluation of the Waste Package and Repository Subsystems prior to the decision to proceed to the next phase of design, license application, or construction. The DDP is subordinate to the Systems Engineering Management Plan (SEMP) and the Project Management Plan. The DDP is the document that provides overall guidance for all design and development activities. It establishes guidance for conduct of trade studies and for preparation of the design methodology. It identifies content and boundaries for Engineering Plans, which in turn, provide detailed design and development guidance for identified subsystems. 5 refs., 1 tab
