Criteria assessment
Description
A simple analytical model for assessing Federal performance standards is presented. The Criterion Assessment Technique (CAT) model compares repository system performance and current NRC and EPA standards. This paper derives the CAT model and obtains a single parameter that characterizes repository containment capability -the Retention Time. Conclusions are drawn regarding the relative effectiveness of the Federal standards and the long-term protection afforded by the EPA for individual nuclides
